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.
#Sundance28 如何从独立电影角度讲好一个套路故事？导演的情感把握实在是太细腻了，从合唱团表演消音开始泪崩，父亲摸女儿的声带振动“听”音乐，女儿用手语告诉家人歌词含义……虽然不是最特别的故事，但是捕捉了最丰富的情感，今年Sundance最佳。（以及好喜欢选曲，蹲一个歌单）
整体的叙事安排都挺好的，女主的颜我也是吃的，但就是唱歌段落的表演，摆脱不开glee和歌舞青春的影子。
3.5。质感一般，但有几段真的很感动。我们需要更多女孩离家追梦的故事。
音乐片的感染力真是太强了，音乐+煽情鸡汤剧情=秒杀。虽然过于鸡汤一直被我排斥和当作缺点，不过有被打动到——片子里的情境其实可以不仅限于残障家庭，也不仅限于那么完美和鸡汤。设想：你是一个中国女孩，你被原生家庭需要和依赖，父母希望你少考虑一点自己，多一点顾家、晚一点离开家庭，在以爱为名的需求下，你是选择“自私”地展翅飞翔，还是尽可能留在父母身边？
show not tell. 缓慢温柔的电影。突然发现下周末我就要去剧中的那个地方去钓鱼。
聋哑家庭的正常听力女儿因为具有唱歌的天赋离家去上音乐学院了。
B— / 哭了，虽然是套路化的剧作，但保留了真诚又质朴的情感表达，与Glee式鸡汤的碰撞向来无法抗拒，除此之外叙事节奏其实很典型圣丹斯电影，静谧中时而流露出喜剧感。哥哥真的好帅。
不愧是奥斯卡
两段演唱，第一段演出时父母视角的无声，第二段考试时突然的向父母比手语，前者是最简单粗暴的共情手法带来的直抵心底的恍然，后者就齁嗓子鸡汤了。中间还有一次是父亲摸着她的喉咙震动听唱，是刚好，不那么震慑，温柔的感动。总的来说女孩的成长里，虽然辛苦奔波，但几乎一切顺遂：全聋哑家庭里唯一一个健听女孩、歌唱天赋、伯乐老师、初恋男孩，可以说是幸运星附体了，唯一的矛盾是与没有听觉的父母、哥哥之间的天然屏障，哥哥更多一层，这样的妹妹到来之前一切如常，但妹妹的幸运让他看起来像是个没用的倒霉蛋，哦确实，挺惨的，但大爱包小恨，合家欢大团圆，令人欣慰。视听上也是舒服的，自然的拍摄手法、各种层次的演唱、手语等等给视觉加分的肢体表演，最后在考场上甚至跳起了手语舞，顺畅的好看，主旋律鸡汤好听又好看，就说它不得奖谁得奖！
看过法版再看这部，剧情虽然已经不新鲜了，但还是会感动，尤其所有演唱的段落，非常真挚又扎心，这个家庭里唯一健全的孩子被他们以爱的名义捆绑，父母时而温馨时而自私的表现也是很真实了，当然电影里是女孩以做自己收尾，实际生活中不知道有多少女孩折戟了梦想，成了那个“家”的依靠。
所以爱存在于第五维度，能跨越语言、声音和一切。
show not tell. 缓慢温柔的电影。突然发现下周末我就要去剧中的那个地方去钓鱼。
就是很舒服很温情的那种美国励志电影，怎么也不至于BP吧
在学校音乐会上静音的那一会儿，我深刻认识无声世界还是挺可怕的。#20220220
4、影片中有这样一个段落，女孩在台上唱歌，她的家人坐在台下，这个段落是无声的。我被这个段落深深打动，心里想到的第一句话，便是“此时无声胜有声！”
应该是看过原版的关系，所以再看翻拍就感觉没有当时的新鲜感？原版的评论拿到这部来也一样能用。可能作为BP来说剧情太平淡，但是在目前这个背景下有个正能量的电影其实也挺好的。我唯一不懂的是评分怎么会高于原版？
（7.0/10）虽然发了胖的Emilia Jones我还是喜欢，但这为什么能入围奥斯卡最佳影片啊。把贝利叶一家拿来也不够吧。这属于类型标签太强烈的那类电影，就导致咀嚼起来层次感不是足够丰富。演唱会时那个一分钟的消音还挺有意思的。
直接空降年度外语十佳！套路、狗血、翻拍、设计好的……都可以成为这部电影的标签，但爱、感动、治愈、欢笑、泪水占据了更大的部分。校园合唱的聋哑人视角、对父亲在星空下唱歌，面试时打手语，最后父亲说的“go”，因为特殊原因加深了家庭的纽带，却也被拖住，好多泪点，真的想哭。这样的“鸡汤”大家可能早就喝腻了，但到现在我还是受用，可能永远都会受用，青春期的感情，自我认知的迷茫，家庭的关系，梦想的追求……好多的细节仿佛都在看我自己的故事，或许也是这样我才能如此深受触动。好多关于手语的笑点，设计极其巧妙；歌也好听，是因为歌唱者注入了情感，有了情感，便有了温暖。
翻拍贝利叶一家，但丝毫不影响精彩。明明就是困境中的心灵鸡汤，但你仍会感动不已。
《贝利叶一家》更偏向于“聋哑不是障碍，只是一种特点而已”，而翻拍版舍弃了这一点，聋哑还是残疾，在生活中是会受歧视的，更贴近于人们的现实生活吧。
