i do not intend to write this review and but have read the default review that show up on this movie url and i felt compel to write a rebuttal . the movie in a word be superlative . it do not deserve the slanderous review that the writer have write . i think the writer have totally miss the point of the movie to a large extent . in fact and i too be turn off by the excessive show of evangelist devotion that occupy the middle of the movie to a large extent . however and i must beg to differ with the reviewer in that and this movie in the end be not a propaganda piece for evangelist action . i think and what the director have show be that how religion be not enough to find all the answer and how religion be to a large extent incapable of provide answer to basic and simple question that one may ask and all that religion have to offer be sometimes just banal platitude of one kind or another . this do not demonstrate a value judgment on religion a we have to remember that religion be transmute and express by ordinary and mostly well meaning and basically good people and they usually have no monopoly on truth and thus religion can not in the end provide the ultimate answer to some question in life . ultimately and it be a matter of faith . you have to take it on faith and that all . and if you be give to faith and then you can appreciate any show of faith . and if you be not give to faith then any show of faith be tiresome . it be thus at the same time and instructive to note the reviewer reaction to the movie . in any case and the director show u that one can choose not to accept the religious interpretation of event and answer to question and in spite of that life go on and there be ecret sunshine in this world that await all wound soul and regardless of their religious orientation . and that just the core message of the film . please note the last scene of the movie and if you do not get this . in the end and the movie be a great one and very thought provoking and confronts you the viewer with question that you have to answer for yourself . thus it be a work of art that be challenge to you personally . i do agree with the reviewer in that and the evangelical stuff be a bit too much . however and give the above interpretation of religion a show in the movie and i think the director be try to balance the act whereby he might not be call an evangelist basher . the actor kang ho song be great a always . he so balance and just perfect that he just amaze . he my favorite korean actor no doubt . i know the actress do yeon jeon get the cannes award for best actress for this movie . however and i do not find any specialty in her acting . it seem that to get award you just have to act really convincingly in cry and hysterical scene and all all in all a great movie . if you do not like it please watch it again and see if you get it . if it leave you dissatisfy or uncomfortable or ask question then think and if that be not what the director be actually aim at through this movie in the first place .
