Synopsis
Do-seong (Yoo Min) is a child monk who lives at a small mountain temple with the head monk (Byeon Ki-jong), learning the teachings of Buddha. He becomes attached to a young widow (Choi Eun-hee) who comes to pray at the temple, and the childless widow entreats the head monk to let her raise Do-seong as her own son. Conflict ensues when Do-seong's real mother (Kim Seon-young) appears, but she leaves the temple for the sake of her son's future. On the day the widow is to take the child down from the mountain, the head monk discovers that Do-seong has killed a bird by ensnaringit in a trap and decides not to let the boy go into the secular world. When Do-seong finds out that his real mother has been to the temple, he sets out to find her.
Notes
"A film that has garnered recognition for its cinematography and direction by eliminating sentimentality and unaffectedly capturing the quiet life of a mountain temple. A Hometown in Heart demonstrates the camera technique and directorial skill of movies that appeared after the liberation of Korea."
A Hometown in Heart, adapted from playwright Ham Se-deok's A Little Monk (Dong-seung), was hailed upon its release as "a masterpiece that marked a new pinnacle in Korean moviemaking after the liberation." Eschewing new-school sentimentality to quietly express a boy's longing for maternal love, the film unfolds the everyday lives of three generationsthe head monk, a young monk, and a little child monkagainst the backdrop of a quiet temple in the mountains. The long shots utilized by director of cinematography Han Hyung-mo to capture the beautiful scenery of the mountain temple from a distance received great critical acclaim at the time. Also, each of the film's characters is convincingly portrayed through the skillful direction of Yoon Yong-kyu. In particular, the scene which expresses Do-seong's desperate yearning for a mother's love and his birth mother's past visit to the temple by combining them into a dream sequence reveals deep consideration for articulating story and emotion via a compressed visual grammar without tending toward sentimentalism. The movie's final scene, in which Do-seong awakens from his dream and sets off down the path in search of his mother, is both touching and beautiful. The film also features Choi Eun-hee, in the part of the young widow who warmly embraces Do-seong with her love, in one of her first roles.
Afterword:
- Lee Kang-su, writing under the pseudonym of Kwak Il-byeong, first adapted playwright Ham Se-deok's A Little Monk (Dong-seung) into a screenplay, which was then shot for the silver screen with additional embellishments by the director.
看到久违的完美剧目的兴奋和故事本身带来的感动都无以言表。在这个故事里，灾难、恐惧、紧张、偏见与神性、真诚、忘我、励志交织在密集(而好听)的台词与迅速转换的场景、人物里，代入感无比强。天花板级别的卡司用精湛技艺同时塑造至少两个人物(In and Out两方，这应该是特别设计的)，这是我这个非剧迷之前没有见识过的，叹为观止。
同样是主旋律，把一个故事讲好的能力真的是至关重要。
爱，让世界更美好。Be together.
让灾难从一个抽象的事件变成一个可以触摸容易共情的事件
关于911的并不鲜为人知的另一面，足够温馨
关于911的并不鲜为人知的另一面，足够温馨
改编自真实事件的治愈系音乐剧，精彩的舞台调度让12个人演出了上千人的感觉。来自不同地方的人因为意外齐聚异乡，却又制造了一生的羁绊，最后乐队返场也非常有趣。表演:3 剧情:3 视效:2+0.5调度 总体:8.5
"We honor what was lost. But we also commemorate what we found." 有趣又感人 真·命运共同体 看完好治愈啊🥰
音乐歌舞都非常精彩。很有力量。有时热血沸腾。有时温暖感人。很抓人情感。
20 years. Still remember every minute of that morning. This is recorded from live theater. Fantastic acting.
感染力太强了，好好看，好好听，好好哭啊😭女机长的solo无论从音乐还是唱功都是完美的！讲述了如此悲痛的题材，但令人哭得情难自禁的时刻却不是因为单纯的悲伤，而是在音乐和演员表演的渲染下百感交集的心潮澎湃……真的太棒了！你永远可以相信音乐剧！！！
音乐这种东西真的很能够拉扯人的情绪，每次看到这样的电影版音乐剧就总想去现场看看，毕竟隔着屏幕看就已经足够震撼。911事件是沉重的悲伤的，而故事就设定在刚发生了这个事件之后的一个加拿大小镇上，但剧作没有让观众完全沉浸在悲痛中，在这之中时不时加点小幽默或人与人的情感链接，真让我体验了一次悲喜交加。整个剧作的歌曲和编排都很完美，通过灯光的颜色来切换场景，演员们也都是一人分饰n角（n≥2），以服装动作神态语气来切换角色，太强大了，我还是到差不多最后面才发现原来中东人阿里和凯文0是同一个人，水平之高毋庸置疑。剧作特别聚焦到这样一个小镇上，将恐怖事件与小镇人的热情作对比，人性的善与恶两个极端冲突，摆在观众面前，批判恶的同时不忘宣扬美。人们抱团取暖，由此促成的一世友谊，异地爱情实在令人感动。
no man is an island...
Idealism of all time.
舞台利用最大化，每一位演员都身兼多名角色，性格反差明显，特别优秀。
太太太好看了
“tonight we honor what was lost，but we also commemorate what we found”
精彩绝伦的作品。把膝盖献给这群真正的演员。
今日被影版DEH伤碎的心靠CFA来拯救了😭
灾难总是会让人觉得无助，从开头就开始哭，记疫情居家隔离第78天
