First, I want to say that I was drawn to this film because of Gong Yoo (one of my favorites), which is why it is so important that he was a part of this film. I knew, based on the synopsis, that this would be a very different role from what I've seen him play before, but I had no idea how emotionally traumatizing the story would be. I didn't think I would have a problem with the subject matter. I had recently watched the documentary Mea Maxima Culpa: Silence in the House of God, which is a very similar story involving an American Catholic school for the deaf, so I felt prepared. What this film does differently than the documentary, is that it dares to actually show some of that abuse. The images are disturbing, and haunting, and at times it feels almost like it's too much. Still, these scenes made me so angry that the conclusion had a really strong impact on me. Apparently this is a sentiment that was shared by enough Koreans to have the investigation reopened as a result of this film. Not only does this film deal with the stigma, and cover ups, involved in sexual abuse cases, it also shows how people with disabilities can be completely disregarded, and devalued. This is not a hero story with a happy ending, but rather a story of how everyday heros can choose to positively effect lives, even in the face of an adverse community. The entire cast is outstanding, particularly the abused kids. Gong Yoo still has his charm, but it's nice to see him in a different kind of role. The film is well paced. It's a tearjerker, without being overly melodramatic or sentimental. The conclusion may not have been what I wanted to see, but it was still oddly inspiring. I would definitely recommend this as a film that will leave you with something to think about. This may not be something that many people would want to watch again, because of the subject matter, but I can see myself rewatching it in time. This movie does a great job of giving a voice to an often silenced and ignored group. I think the least that can be done, even if it's a little difficult, is that we listen to those voices.
