Timely for the celebration of Father's Day this coming weekend. Viva offers "Ode To My Father", a tagalized movie from Korea which is sought to be the highest grossing film of all time in Korea.
Filipinos in all walks of life will definitely come to relate on this movie and will enjoy every scenes aside from the story itself but because the movie was translated in Tagalog to give Filipino viewers a more grasp of the story. Much more, to understand more of the story. As Sine Asia Film Festival will be showcasing Korean movies it is best start with a top grossing film and most specially just in time for the Father's Day celebration.
Ode to My Father follows the story of Deok-su (HWANG Jung-min) who lived through milestones of contemporary Korean history, and fought through the hard times to support his family. To realistically portray Germany’s coal mines in the 1960s and the Vietnam War in the 1970s, the crew traveled to the Czech Republic and Thailand while securing actual equipment and cars from those time periods.
The movie is really heart warming and perfect for the whole family. Since Father's Day is coming, this movie is a tribute to all the fathers out there who will sacrifice just about anything and do everything just to support their family and make their lives comfortable and Deok-Su did all of these and from the time that he was a kid, his mother made him realize that at such a young age, he needs to act as the head of the family because of what happened to his father during the war.
Deok-Su went through different obstacles but never lose hope, there were a lot of touching scenes and just about when you're ready to bawl out crying, his friend who's always there for him ever since they were kids make the movie really engaging and funny. No matter where he goes, Dal-Gu (portrayed by Oh Dal-Su from Detective K: Secret of the Lost Island, Miracle in Cell No. 7) is there to support him but through the years even until Deok-Su grew old, he still can't get over that one day, his father will finally find them.
Mommies, this is the right movie for you and your family to celebrate Fathers' Day. Your kids will really appreciate more of the sacrifices of their Father just to give a descent living. I truly recommend this movie.
Ode to my Father will be shown on June 17 exclusively at SM Cinemas! Don't miss it!
Aside from Ode to my Father, Sine Asia will also feature Korean movies like Love Forecast, My Love My Bride, How to steal a Dog, The Thieves and Roaring Currents.
