I saw this movie when it came out years ago and couldn’t wait till it went to dvd. Bought it and will be one of my all time favorites. Brilliantly directed, acted and a story that could be applied to any culture , just happened to be told of a Korean family. Tenacity, love, commitment, loyalty is taught from the elders that you knew would carry on through for the next generation. It was a pleasant surprise and while I’ve watched it many times , I can never get enough of a human story that stands the space of time . Excellent , excellent , excellent.
