It is rather confusion in beginning, but if you watch it seriously, you can understand with the plot. I highly recommend you who lover film have to watch because you get the moral value and new things. On other side, this film also winning many awards so it is not doubt that this film is the best and many people like it. Fans of Korean film no doubt be thrilled with this. It’s a must!
2. Rating
I give 4 from 5 stars. I recommend for you watch, I like the storyline can teach us how become successful person and know if we become unsuccessful person, I feel lucky person after get the new things which I not know yet. But why I just give 4 stars? Sure that it has a reason why, because there's act is no educated, unfortunately this film can't watch for all ages especially children. This film recommend to watch for 18+ years old.
3. Cinematography
Cinematography of this film handled by Hong Kyung Pyo. He also worked in several acclaimed Korean directors, like Bong Joon Ho as director of this film and other directors. He wins many awards with 22 wins and 32 nominations, and one of them woOoOo is Greater Western New York Film Critics Association Awards. Marvelous! (clap clap clap). Sure that this film for cinematography is great!
You can see in scene 43.10, shoots zoom out to show Kim Ki Jung run to close Moon Gwang and in scene 43.17, shoots zoom in to show Kim Ki Jung acts the action. The point of view shots make the audience experience the emotional perspective of a character.
The tone of this film includes serious situation but still present feeling happy.
4. Genre
The film is a comedy thriller film. Not horror, this film has many funny scenes although there's a little thriller scene, so that this film not suggested for children or under eighteen years old.
5. Music and sound
The music plays calm melody by violin for showing Kim Ki Taek and Kim Ki Woo in Luxury Car Store in scene 37.23 and plays tense melody by violin too for completing Kim Ki Jung’s action in scene 42.55 after she get a message from her father.
The soundtrack of this film is the song “It is Sunday Morning” by Jung Jae il.
6. Acting
Play a role in their own character really able to play and explore the role of their own character, moreover they are expertly actors and actress. This is the main characters in this film with their own character :
Song Kang Ho, as father’s Kim Ki Woo and plays a role Kim Ki Taek. He is a lazy and an assertive person to people, but he still care and calm to his children and wife. In this film, although he is a lazy person but there is an act that you can unbelievable why he can do, really makes you surprised. I can sure that!
Le Sun Kyun, as husband’s Mrs. Park and plays a role Park Dong Ik. He is a handsome father and intelligent person that I imagine him to be my future husband ^^. He has a company for creating new things based on modern technology. He also romantic person to his wife uuuu makes me really want him^^
Cho Yeo Jeong, as wife’s Park Dong Ik and called Mrs. Park. She is a beauty and kind woman, sure that Mr. Park makes her to his wife. ^^ She haven’t career or company because she asked by her husband to handle children and house. So, she always assigned to looks for her house keeper, her children preceptor and a driver to her husband, hmm how lucky she is L not too much for working and just stay at home.
Choi Woo Shik, as Kim Ki Woo or Kevin (fake name) is a first child from Kim Ki Taek and Kim Chung Sook. He is a preseptor first Mrs. Park child. In my point of view, he doesn’t too handsome but he clever, I don’t know how your point of view perhaps you can like him?
Park So Dam, as Kim Ki Jung or Jessica (fake name) is a second child from Kim Ki Taek and Kim Chung Sook. She is a preseptor second Mrs. Park child. I think, she is beautiful girl and also clever. I like her, because she can explore her character and good at acting, how she can impersonate to be someone else for helping her brother to put her father and mother to get a job.
Jang Hye Jin, as wife’s Kim Ki Taek and named Kim Chung Sook. She also play a role house keeper after Moon Gwang because her children. Although she was old but still beauty and dilligent. She always clean her house every single day although small size wkwkk ^^
Lee Jung Eun, as first house keeper’s Mrs. Park before Kim Chung Sook and named Moon Gwang. She has a husband that hidden in a mysterious place. And I like and interest to director and scriptwriter idea that Moon Gwang has a unique character that has allergy with peaches wkwkk ^^
7. Source material
Make Up
I like the make up Kim Ki Jung and first child Mrs. Park, although use natural make up makes she real beauty.
Language
This film use language which appropriate the situation. In a poor family, the language use non formal. In a rich family, the language use non formal but still safe the attitude in speaking.
Costume
The all costume which wear to all characters also appropriate with the situation, example when Kim Ki Jung in her house, she wears casual clothes but different when she as Jessica, she wears the good clothes like a career person.
H. Direction
I think the director makes this film to give a reflection to the citizens, that they who have life is difficult and they want to live well. They will do anything without thinking about the effect and the fate of people involved. There is good benefit. Really realistic and complex.
I. Writing style
I am not sure understand how is good writing style, but if I see the storyline in this film, this film appropriate to people from any country. Although use korean language, but still easy to understand for people in out country because the context is general by using subtitle. And the scriptwriter also win Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay at 92nd Academy Awards in 2020 in script this film which her wrote for this film. Sure that this film good to watch.
J. Editing
This film edited by expertly someone who has the best award is an American Cinema Editors Award for Best Edited Feature Cinema - Dramatic at the America Cinema Editor Awards in 2020 of this film. The named is Yang Jin Mo. Of course that this film great in editing. Editing slow motion where Kim Ki Woo run to Moon Gwang in 43.10 until Moon Gwang cough and go to her room. On other scene, 1:52:46 makes fast motion to make us tense into surprised.
K. Setting
In the scene at house's poor family, it's really realistic. How the size is really small and narrow. Where the house keep close with houses' citizens. With many happen like there's flood when raining and many more. With the otherhand, in the scene at house's rich family that they have wide environment with beautiful grass, wide rooms, good furniture, good kitchen and many more. And mysterious place which locates husband's Moon Gwang is really realistic.
L. Moral value
Moral value of this film for adult that can be know how the education and effort is very important to be successful person. Because the film draws differentiate life between poor and rich family.
M. Conclusion
I really suggest you to watch this film yeayy, because it's really educated for teens who just become adult and adult who surviving to find their success career or comfortable life. You can watch this, perhaps can give you solution to solve problem which comes to you. Who didn’t want to watch the OSCAR film winner?
