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.
太精彩了，今年四大电影节这部电影没获奖，我TM绝对不认可。
千万不要在律师法庭陈词的时候退出，非常值得五星
一部看了之后让我在大夏天里不开空调和风扇却能起鸡皮疙瘩的电影……国家花重金搞教育，是想让我们的居住地变得更干净更美好，为什么那么多人热衷搞脏它？私欲真的凌驾一切吗？净土究竟在哪里？怎样才能找到？或许在于多数人有勇气不是只抱怨，而是用行动去实践正义、抗议不公吧。太喜欢影片讲故事的方式了，几连反转，将真相抽丝剥茧，里面的每一个重要角色都有私与公的暗与光之面，尽管遵从的是种因得果的朴素法理逻辑，但善恶背后的复杂性一览无余，更兼着耐人寻味
可能为了避免激起观看者强烈的情绪，配乐都是很缓和悠长又哀伤的，没有什么很强律动的配乐。
可是，我们真的需要一片可以仰望的天空！
这是个操蛋的世界，还好可以从电影里找到希望，看到未来。
当人们站在道德的制高点，陷入一边倒的信息茧房，反而更容易被人利用。在当下的舆论环境里，拥有清醒理智的头脑，独立思考，也许比一腔热血的理想主义来的更加重要
所有的故事都开个头，留到后期反转到审美疲劳
剧情像迷宫，弯路绕多了反而让人不知道终点到底是哪里，前一个小时是印度类型片的枯燥，后一个小时是西班牙式悬疑的转折，让人惊喜。
虽只有短短两章，仍如沙漠中的清泉。在漫长岁月后，夏目与田沼似乎进入了成人的惆怅，而妖怪们面对生命的起落与无数转瞬即逝的缘，“心情其实过中年”。
用一个案子把好几个社会问题串联起来，而且还有个特酷的反转，着实牛逼。电影里面的四首曲子编曲水平随便拉一首出来都比国内的主流抖音神曲强不少。
砍过树没有？我砍过。
二次反转不错 前2小时20分钟毫无观赏体验 冗长 无趣
8.5/10.0，电影的毛病还是有的，比如过硬的情节转折，角色的过于脸谱化，过多纷繁复杂的角色，根本没法一一讲好。
21世纪会是印度的世纪，越南电影也分级了，都在进步！
暗地使操纵自如 却不敢浮出水面 暗地令舆论走向 却不敢保留痕迹 暗地使秘密消失殆尽 却不敢长存一切尸体 暗地使革命流血 却不敢让血色永远鲜红 暗地使平民受苦 却不敢让旁观者永远记得 挑选那些柔软的来挫败那些强悍的 永远记得一到不再自欺欺人的时候 也就是看见希望萌芽的时候
媒体确认真相，警察执法，社会还会向着更好的方向发展吗？
一开始以为又是一部女权，看到后面才知道升级到了对愚民政治的嘲讽，不过关键转折还是要靠副督察良心发现才能完成，实际可能性很低，看来任何体质都是一样黑暗的，学生永远都是最有革命热情，也最容易被鼓动的群体。
节奏反转都很好。这个国内应该不会翻拍了吧。不敢
总体来说是（不必要的）内容大于形式的电影。
