Synopsis
Do-seong (Yoo Min) is a child monk who lives at a small mountain temple with the head monk (Byeon Ki-jong), learning the teachings of Buddha. He becomes attached to a young widow (Choi Eun-hee) who comes to pray at the temple, and the childless widow entreats the head monk to let her raise Do-seong as her own son. Conflict ensues when Do-seong's real mother (Kim Seon-young) appears, but she leaves the temple for the sake of her son's future. On the day the widow is to take the child down from the mountain, the head monk discovers that Do-seong has killed a bird by ensnaringit in a trap and decides not to let the boy go into the secular world. When Do-seong finds out that his real mother has been to the temple, he sets out to find her.
Notes
"A film that has garnered recognition for its cinematography and direction by eliminating sentimentality and unaffectedly capturing the quiet life of a mountain temple. A Hometown in Heart demonstrates the camera technique and directorial skill of movies that appeared after the liberation of Korea."
A Hometown in Heart, adapted from playwright Ham Se-deok's A Little Monk (Dong-seung), was hailed upon its release as "a masterpiece that marked a new pinnacle in Korean moviemaking after the liberation." Eschewing new-school sentimentality to quietly express a boy's longing for maternal love, the film unfolds the everyday lives of three generationsthe head monk, a young monk, and a little child monkagainst the backdrop of a quiet temple in the mountains. The long shots utilized by director of cinematography Han Hyung-mo to capture the beautiful scenery of the mountain temple from a distance received great critical acclaim at the time. Also, each of the film's characters is convincingly portrayed through the skillful direction of Yoon Yong-kyu. In particular, the scene which expresses Do-seong's desperate yearning for a mother's love and his birth mother's past visit to the temple by combining them into a dream sequence reveals deep consideration for articulating story and emotion via a compressed visual grammar without tending toward sentimentalism. The movie's final scene, in which Do-seong awakens from his dream and sets off down the path in search of his mother, is both touching and beautiful. The film also features Choi Eun-hee, in the part of the young widow who warmly embraces Do-seong with her love, in one of her first roles.
Afterword:
- Lee Kang-su, writing under the pseudonym of Kwak Il-byeong, first adapted playwright Ham Se-deok's A Little Monk (Dong-seung) into a screenplay, which was then shot for the silver screen with additional embellishments by the director.
马东锡各种胖揍逼小子们，看着解馋😋！变态狂各种捅刀，小角色哈尔滨张谦抢戏严重，最后都要各种西8了，哈哈哈。评3.4星。
小场景里的极限调度，剧场电影的典范，小而美的榜样，无需过多深刻的立意，不用太多炫目的打斗，所有的一切藏在一个小小的裁缝店里，一个人，一把剪刀，几个在门前门后进场出场的角色，就能盘活一部无限反转的电影。
热评说的这个词很对，“老派”。核心精神也是老派的，布景也是老派的，叙事方式也是老派的。总体来说不错看。如果加点时代背景会更好。
好久没有能让人目不转睛看到最后一刻的电影了。里朗斯真是神演技。
看看人家这演技！其他有些人还好意思说自己是演员吗？整个故事只基于一个场景，却足够惊心动魄，足够演一出完美的舞台剧。
影片在单一的空间格局内呈现了极强的复古感和话剧感，主角不靠打打杀杀干趴所有黑帮，可谓揣着心理战的明白装枪战的糊涂。结尾Francis的起身看似生硬有强行反转之意，但前面早有“他为老大挡过六颗子弹”的铺垫（说明他身体素质强不会轻易狗带），至此老爷子离开London的原因线通过向博伊尔家族三人的讲述才有了完整的交待。
封闭空间的文戏让我中途睡着了一次，醒来发现剧情居然还觉接得上。反转再反转，最后发现都是男主早设计好的，年轻时也曾轻狂，社会人一个。不知道为啥男主能确定Francis 能把女主牵扯进来…逻辑没搞懂。
虎头蛇尾。
东锡武神下临凡，身壮双拳似磨盘。远赴异国铲狂魔，一声西八镇安南
为什么我现在看这种电影，会有这样一种感觉：除了主角，其他人都有点不太聪明，所以主角一股自作聪明的样子......
个人感觉有些过誉了，一个场景下层层反转是亮点但不新奇，看过太多类似影片反转并没有多亮眼。
表演好强好强！另外，好笑的是片名翻译，想到了Mark Rylance参与的另一部片子《不要抬头》。。
太厉害了，场景都没转，全靠台词衔接叙述。挺厉害挺厉害。
概念黑帮电影。只在一间屋子里面就把一场运筹帷幄的黑吃黑故事层层剥开了。挺巧的剧本。
最让我感动的是老裁缝最后和那个女孩之间的对话。突然想到了Xavi
除了最后的引蛇出洞整体还是要比第一部差点的，只剩下打打打，马东锡好像长胖了。哪怕全是说蹩脚中文的曹县族来C国拍这种电影也是不可能的，C国可是世界上最安全的国家怎么可能发生这种事（手动狗头），默默看着河对岸向前走的越南流下了羡慕的泪水。
非常惊喜的一部电影
AMC 小而美的舞台剧式类型片，情节多次反转但大多有所伏笔，严丝合缝如精心剪裁的合身套装；台词、配乐和服化道简洁讲究，观感舒适如端详裁缝手下干净平整的走线。半年前看到预告片就开始期待，不负所望，情节发展不落俗套，广阅黑帮片的我有被反套路到。作为编剧转导演的处女作还算不错，期待未来作品。PS：豆瓣条目中文译名太傻了
小成本单一场景却高潮迭起，老爷子眼里全是戏，个人年度前五已预定。Mark Rylance deserves this！
一个有故事的裁剪师，一个有爱的英国绅士以及同他相关的一个精巧的没有任何拖泥带水的悬疑故事。
