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.
今年看的制作比较精良的动画片了。女主有点像克里斯多福。
2022.7.25 主題非常清晰，清晰到顯得全片是寫砸了的命題作文，編出來的故事滿滿的草率蹩足交差感，硬拗得不講道理。看之前還以為是海上版how to train your dragon，結果也就差了2000個小黃人吧。唯一追得上的就是音樂了。
还行…开头太老套我差点睡过去。全场亮点在最后小女孩的讲话。其他感觉都在别的电影里看过了。
和小孩一起看的，很欢乐很好看～(￣▽￣～)~
虽然我也赞同反抗强权权威，但更希望儿童教育不要再只有对错分明的世界了
畫面真的製作精良，可惜作為一部卡通嚴肅有餘，趣味性略欠缺。

属于网大电影水平。这个没有内容啊。更不要说有什么表达了。故事过于简单，没有让人起波澜的地方。视觉效果普通。实属解说佳作。
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？
结局太伟光正了点
十分工整的故事，就是剧情有点简单了，全片由5场海战戏串联，场场精彩纷呈，主角海兽-焰魔，有点像张了角的蛇颈龙，单看头部很像大蟒蛇，发起狠来也挺恐怖的，但平常状态又很萌，人类一族与海兽一族，数百年的仇恨皆因国王的野心，而且国王还准备对海兽猎人卸磨杀驴，真是讽刺啊，估计主创不愿太沉重，所以都点到为止，执着于仇恨的船长并没有变化醒悟，而那个厉害的老巫婆会如何讨债，最后也没交代。轻轻松松的一部消暑故事，一群海兽萌翻夏天。
海兽好可爱，但居然同时也刻画出了吓人的一面，还挺牛逼的。收尾稍微有点过快，不过要是不这么整的话简直得拍好几季的权谋剧了吧hhh 可爱就完事了x
最后十分钟扣两星。
22.7.16
前 2/3 叙事比较慢，后来突然加速。里面记忆最深刻的就是那个小蓝太可爱了。从动画来说还是完成的不错。
《超能陆战队》导演的行活儿，叙事不错，人物成长不错，节奏不错，也有萌物小蓝，收尾有些潦草，高潮没有起来，海兽的设计，种类，有点儿敷衍，小红不就是鲸鱼吗，合格且还算有趣的儿童向动画
故事低幼逻辑浅陋，好在制作精良。如果没有《驯龙高手》珠玉在前评分会更高，现在看只是又一部奈飞大数据的产物而已。
剧情有点突兀，比如，与女孩是如何迅速上升到亲情的？有点太快了
海兽和人类可以和平共处。没有什么比大团圆结局更好了
到最后也没看出怎么变成了龌龊的大人，反倒森山未来越来越hot了。
