Spending my night like a little baby... ''A wolf boy'' movie review

G here ...

So the first review is of a werewolf movie and to everyone who has no clue about the movie what so ever , then no this is not one of those cheesy '' we want to be like twilight'' kind of things. Around the releasing it was said that it's more like ''The Twilight zone'' with a Korean twist but i have never seen ''The Twilight Zone'' so I can't compare them.

 So ever since I saw the teaser photos, pre-released photos and the different photo shoots Song Joong-Ki and Park Bo-Young did around November/December I have been dying to see the movie. So finally i sat down and watched the movie and wept like a little baby.

A heartbreakingly warm story of family and love. I was expecting a full on fantasy, more of a fluffy love story with a dark undertone. But turns out i got so much more than i bargained for.  It is dark, really dark, and for me one of the most heartbreaking stories i have seen in a long time.

Trailer:

Little about the Plot. 

    60 year old Suni, living in the US, gets a phone call from S-Korea about selling her old family house in which she lived while she was a teenager in the 1965, a year that holds a story one would not believe. She return to her homeland and meets up with her granddaughter Eun-Joo and they spend a night in the old family house which Suni is about to sell. In that night she recalls her time spent in the house.

My own thoughts from beginning to end along with kittens

 The beginning is somewhat dark and shows the old owner feeding his ''wolves'' and before he gets to feed them he has a heart attack. Soon after the incident a family from Seoul,a widowed mother with her 2 kids, girls, the younger Soon-Ja and the older, Suni who has problems with her lungs, moves in .

 During the first night she feels watched and for some good reason after trying to wake her sister she goes in to the barn. So, because the movie was in parts, then that was when the part ended with her opening the locked door.

 So i opened the next part and a day before i had watched ''Mama'' *one hell of a scary movie* so I was still a little jumpy and the part start with the wolf getting out and the girl screaming on top of her lungs .... and well boy... I wasn't any better i was like *aaaaaaaa WTFFFF!!!!!!!!!* Scaring my roommate and giving her a plan to scare me. So moving on...........

It is heart warming how the mother takes the boy in instantly when they see him the next day and tries to find his family or a home for him. But the boy acts like a wild animal with no manners of eating or how to act human.

 Suni, who is home schooled and spends the most time with the boy, is kind of disgusted. After finding a dog training book she start to train the boy. They play together, do stupid stuff and he grows closer with her mother and sister and falls in love with the girl.

 Every great story need an ass hole so meet Ji-Tae, he is the son of the CEO who owns Suni's dad company. He has this obsession that Suni has to marry him because he owns the house they live in. Being one of the first ppl to realise what Chul-Soo really is and seeing how close he is with Suni he wants to get rid of him no matter what.  

Ji-Tae

So the more towards the end around that time where he sets Chul-Soo up with a crime he didn't do is where the water works start. So he becomes a wolf for the last time leaches out on the guy in front of a loooot of ppl and runs in to the woods with Suni. After a night in the woods she wants him to leave and never come back she even throws a freaking stone at him... He only stared at her and says his first words throughout the movie which are ''Don't Go..'' but with those words she runs away.

So she leaves him with memories. I assume with a broken heart as well. And a letter that says ''Wait for me. I'll come back for you.''

And He does ...he waits 47 years.... Growing flowers * like a botanic garden that shouldn't be this green in the dead of winter * and studying to talk, read, write and draw... * We all know  Song Joong-Ki can't draw *

  She sleeps in the boy's bed after he has read a book to her that she left with him and in the morning she leaves with her granddaughter and decides to not sell the house. 
 The closing frame of the movie is Chul-Soo standing on the hill they used to play on, watching Suni leaving in one of the ugliest cars I have ever seen. 

So after finishing the movie i was weeping like a baby.... So my roommate decided to cheer me up ... with these * there was mooore*:
