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.
看到一半看不下去了，可能我有颗伪圣母心。海报里小红挺酷的。
因为不理解才会有偏见。长得可怕的怪兽未必是邪恶的。大叔+萝莉的冒险故事。粉色沙滩。复仇的生物难以控制。英雄有时候也是错的。
想起千禧年间的港产青春片。一地鸡毛无法全力奔跑的中年，最终还是变成自己曾经讨厌的普通的样子。在回忆中倒带着青春，像漫长炎热的夏天，在吱吱呀呀的老风扇下度过一个个无所事事的白昼。画面支离破碎又色彩浓烈，旁白是脑海中那些“无法成佛的文字”。
平平稳稳把故事讲完了，很适合周末下午看。最后小女孩的演讲很美国了。
3.5星，虽然结局太幼稚潦草了但是还是抵不住海兽们的可爱啊！请单独给小红小蓝还有那群小小黄出一个海岛生活的专场，删掉愚蠢的人类的戏份。前半段有几处画面有点吓人，触发深海恐惧。
太老套了 不适合成年人观看 一个六岁的小女孩动摇了一个二十多岁一直坚持的信念
王室的洗脑工作做得太差了，几代人的书籍传说都抵不过小孩的几句话。能达成和平的限制条件太多了，持有武力的双方要相互信任对方的善意，广大民众也需要相信假想敌是当权者的阴谋。人类目前的能力估计是实现不了吧。
“我们的历史建立在谎言之上，都是他们编造的，为了他们的私欲”。敢于直面极权的只有靠最年轻的热血和最纯洁的心灵
画面莫名廉价，剧情很幼稚，两星全给那只蓝色小怪物
想象力贫瘠，剧情烂俗，动画电影做成这样，玩球。
不错哎，物理学的倍儿明白，动作场景非常丝滑
制作上完全算的上精良，故事非常老套，但是放在动画上也勉强能接受
倒叙的方式细腻的讲述了一个普通人平凡的半生 很多人能从男主的故事看到自己的影子 最后男主站在和初恋初次见面商场门口泪流满面的样子 像极那了谁站在那个十字路口时的模样
开头拿根牙签把海兽秒杀了有点不能接受。故事还可以再长一点，多拍一些海兽的生活，压缩得有点厉害。
小孩看 好教条 大人看 太低幼。海兽造型也是一般 小朋友看个玩
叙事下的世界，谁有讲述权，谁就有世界的掌控权……
听着布彻尔的配音还是真的舒服，剧情就是中规中矩，虽然老套，说教意味之多，但光靠海兽和特效美景，还是惊艳了一身。看得出来是网飞对动漫的试水之作，希望可以更狂野、黑暗和反套路一些。
因为不想成为“普通的人”，结果到了40多岁却真实的过得普普通通。不要害怕变得平庸，毕竟在整个宇宙中一个人跟一粒尘埃也没多大区别，活在当下就好。
总体来说还是挺好看的，部分地方处理的比较仓促，阎魔海兽为何就那么顺利成章听主角话？带他们回到的那个怪兽岛有何特别的地方？女巫对船长说要拿走一切，她到底拿走了啥？
浓浓的迪士尼画风，却是网飞的片子，故事主题也是老生常谈的人和自然如何和谐相处，全片看完，总觉得方方面面都缺少点新鲜的东西。
