“When i started watching this film i didnu0026#39;t have any expectations … because i didnu0026#39;t have a clue what the film was about. So it could have been turned out pretty nasty; but luckily it didu0026#39;t! It was a really nice experience. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe first obvious thing i noticed was the professional work of the DP/director. This film is beautiful shot; lightning, camera etc. Sound and music were fine, but werenu0026#39;t very special but rather very solid. The second thing is the surprising good acting of the entire cast. There werenu0026#39;t any awkward moments. Everything felt very natural. And this is very important for the entire film because so much of the atmosphere depends on the performance of the lead protagonists. If they fail, the whole film might collapse. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eA friend of mine said u0026quot;crying fistu0026quot; would be the Korean equivalent of Rocky. Well, i donu0026#39;t agree with this. The story of u0026quot;crying fistu0026quot; has much more content and value; discussing, for example, the issues and problems of people who lost their status in society is important and worthwhile. And, in this case, also very moving. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIf you are interested donu0026#39;t hesitate! I really can recommend this one!”
