Review:
Il Mare
Country: Korea
Year: 2000
Genres: Drama, Love
Story [4****]
Quite a good story. I believe this is the most important feature of the movie. The reason to watch this is for the story, and the adventure in unfolding it. It's just interesting and fun.
Emotion [4****]
Nothing too strong here. A few things were moving, and there are a palethera of emotions given to the audience. Well done for a drama. Not totally happy nor totally sad, of course.
Smart & Slow [4****]
Some nice characteristics that are often seen in Korean movies dramas really help out the pacing and enjoyment of the movie. Nothing is over-done, and no scene goes by too fast. Really the pace is perfect for a drama. Yet every part in the movie is realistically smart... nothing is too complicated to think out nor too logical to be annoying.
Overall [4****]
A straight-forward very good film. Recommended for anyone who's not avoiding the genre. Touching for many, enjoyable for most.
