This particular book was too descriptive, that book was too slow, another book had no plot or complicated language … and so every few weeks, a huge pile of unread books would be returned to me with a disappointed face. Also good eats in the same shopping mall.My Father was always the most difficult person to please when picking a book for him to read, from my personal library. This is a wonderful, wonderful movie, you must see! It is playing in K-Town at CGV theater. I appreciated the funny scenes in the movie, for without them, it would have been too depressing to watch. I do agree with the critics that some of the acting was a bit raw, but they were soon forgotten as the movie pulled me into the story. The movie was also accurate that Germany did not extend the visas of foreigner miners for they were hired to make up for their temporary labor shortage. As an early teen (in early 1960's), I was hearing about many Koreans hiring themselves out to foreign countries to find work as miners, nurses, or soldiers. Holt Adoption Agency placed many Korean orphans in American homes. Many families were split up and scattered during the war. After the Korean War, Korea was literally in rubble and ashes. Whatever remained standing or fertile were bombed or burned up. Immediately after WWII, after Japan exhausted all of Korea's natural resources, goods and men to fuel their war engines, Korean War broke. My mother now in her 80's experienced many of the same experiences and some additional events in her lifetime: the Japanese occupation (1910- 1945), her 11 -year old classmates being shipped off by Japanese as wartime prostitutes during WWII (1939-1945), Korean independence (1948), Korean War (1950-1953) during which time she was a refugee in Busan, etc. I like to recommend those critics to read about the 20th century Korean history. WoI feel compelled to disagree with some of the criticisms that this movie tried to be melodramatic, some scenes were unnecessarily too comical, and that it was improbable and unrealistic for a person to go through all such tumultuous events.
