Spirits' Homecoming (2016)

I have a lot of feeling when I watch this movie that include sad, angry, disappointed and warm. First, the director was shot with reminiscences for this movie. In the beginning of the movies, the oldest Yeong-hee was memories back her experienced as a child. The frames jump to 1943 years, the heroine – Jeong-min was an ordinary girls born in a normal family, and she have father and mother. The tragedy starts here, Jeong-min was tobe force go away by Japanese soldiers. What make me feel angry is that Japanese soldiers rape and beat these girls. The average of these girls only have 16 years old, the youngest is Jeong-min she only have 14 years old. These girls was treat like the animal. When I saw this scene, I think I very lucky I was no born at that time and I must cherish what i have now. Conversely, it also make I have feel some humanity. It is because that have the one scene, the one of the Japanese soldiers are different with the other Japanese soldiers. He name called Danaka, he no insulting Jeong-min, instead he choose to help her to run away by give her the map. Unfortunately, Danaka was killed by the captain Japanese soldiers at the end. In this movie, I feel that need to treat others with the sincerely. This is because Jeong-min treat the Yeong-hee very well, Jeong-min was killed by the Japanese soldiers due to want to protect Yeong-hee. At the end, the oldest Yeong-hee meets again with the jung-min after many years through the psychic girl, this scene are make me sentimental. In overall, this is a movie that worth to watching.

HUGE TW *COMFORT WOMEN*

The theme of this movie is very heavy so the tone throughout the movie is obviously serious and dark. The first 30 minutes is slow but once the flashback started, it got serious so fast.

The whole flashback scene was so heavy and devastating and for some would be too much to bear. Personally, I had to pause several times because the scenes is very detailed and the acting was very convincing. It is also very eye-opening as this part of history. This will leave you in tears so if you planning to watch this, mentally and physically prepare yourself.

p/s: Do stick until the ending credits.

The whole story is too sad,I'm grateful that I was born in an era of peace. Because of their early deaths, and their unbearable Han, the spirits of the deceased comfort women are earthbound and they need a gut to release them to the next world. And in this movie, by extension, the spirits of the girls are somehow chained to the location where they passed away, and it is through the gut that the spirits can return home to their families in Korea to find their rest. The shaman ritual towards the end of the movie is an incredibly moving scene, intercept as it is with the finals hours of the girls’ wartime ordeal, and giving us into the bargain a little reveal.The Japanese armies are desperate and brutal, they are destroying humanity. History cannot be erased,I hoped that Japan able to confess to history and repent of this sins it has committed, they are owes a sincere apology to the victims.

After watching the 2 hours movie, I felt very sad and I am glad that I was not born in the period of Japanese's occupation of Korea (1905-1945). The movie started from a heroine, Jung Min. She was a pretty girl. One day, she has been took away from her parents to Japanese army place and being forced to sleep with Japanese army. I felt very anger and pity to the Japanese, pity that they need to live like that. Pity as to what went through their heads to become such inhuman beings. This firm has made me cried and it was expected. The best scene to me is when a soldier whom go to Jung Min room, he was just chat and comfort her. The soldier is the only one who has humanity among all the Japanese army. He even give the map to her that would help her escaped from this hell. Therefore, this movie made me even more moved by the kindness of the girl humanity in such an extremely difficult environment, and the bright flowers in the darkness, their strength and friendship. When the history of grief is over, perhaps we should also move our eyes from the crusade against the perpetrators to the beauty of humanity, because in such a specific environment, these qualities are more precious .Some scenes were really strong and I had to stop the movie for some minutes to go through them. The part that most difficult to forget is all the young lady being shoot by the army. This made me angry. Why the Japanese army has the authority to shoot them? They are also a human. I felt very sad and pity to them. It is like in everyday life, we treat everything like an item and never take care of the feeling of the item. In the movie, when the Japanese army violently harassed the girls, they never thought about their feelings, even if they came to menstruation, even if they had reached the limit of their body, even if they were dying. This movie is not about the political as well as war, it is just about a one of the million girl that she need to go through this experience. I really can't look at it with a critical eye, but it is always infected by the movie, which will be heart-breaking and angry for those girls' experiences. I will be glad that we are born in a better era and will learn from these history the need to respect women.This movie made me use 2 packs of tissue. Well, this was also a method that I release my stress. If want to give rate of the movie, I gave 5 out of 5. To me, if the movie that will made me cried is consider as a good movie.

This is a very truly sad movie, even a guy can cry for it. This is by no far something a person of weak heart can watch. It is by no means graphical like many other movies but yet very disturbing. It shows the sad life of Korean comfort women.
As a fellow woman this story resonates within you. Your heart goes out to the countless women who were tortured. The brutality they faced cannot be just driven away by a simple forgiveness. For me I did not feel anger to the Japanese but pity, pity that they had their lives like that. Pity as to what went through their heads to become such inhuman beings. While reading of the Nanking Massacre this turned even worse for me. It made me think what kind of retribution they would have had after this life( Being a a Buddhist karma is something I believe in but this is entirely my own thoughts). The story had a single glimmer of hope within the story in the portrayal of Danaka and I was sad how he ended too. Being a romantic I couldn't help but wish he had reunited with his family or Jungmin.
Like I said this isn't for the weak heart, I was utterly sad by the end and it is a good movie though.

For me, this is an emotional movie and this movie make me cry after I watched just now. In the movie, i can definitely see how the soldiers bully the girls and the girls had been catched and raped by them. But one scene that make me unforgettable which is the scene that show huminity. One of the soldier try to save the main characters which is Jeong Min but failed due to she wants to save her friends together to leave the place. This scene make me feel warm and touched because the soldier give Jeong Min a map to escape from the place. In overall, this movie is worth to see.

The thought after i finish watching the movie is the incident of teenage girls being abducted by Japanese soldiers and the innocent children who live in era of war have to avoid to let it happen again. It is a movie full of sadness and cruelness but also lessons. However, fortunately there is still some one with good heart among the soldiers. Jung min also saved his friend and scarify his life. This show the humanity which ought to live in heart of all human kind. As conclusion, feels how other feels when you treating people is important as you could know the limit if people pay you back.

The entirety of this motion-picture show was therefore painful to observe, and also the undeniable fact that it's supported truth makes it abundant worse. The young ladies did extraordinarily well at depiction their characters and also the pain they went through. I solely cried once throughout this motion-picture show, and it absolutely was once 'Arirang' started enjoying at the tip and every one the spirits, within the sort of butterflies, flew home. At that time i used to be weeping my eyes out.
This motion-picture show is extremely instructional and a must-watch, however take a while before observance it to organize yourself. i do not suppose i will be able to be observance this once more time shortly.

From my opinion , the girls are all the victims of the war. They have a stronger will than everyone to survive. The main actress is awesome. We know how cruel the japanese soldiers are. The actress ?jung min? died because she wanted to save her friend (eun-kyung) life. It is very touching. Everyone loves their country and your country's army will sacrifice themselves to save their own country and defend their people lives. Jung min's parents are every hardworking and discipline persons. They are nice. Everything changes until the japanese army come to their house and bring jungmin to their campaign. From the movie, we learn that we believe in our friends, we are wiling to help each other , in terms of physically and mentally.
