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.
人类一败涂地，但依旧有闪光。
喜欢电影中二人的每次对话，虽然很理想化，但都是对现实生活的一种提炼和萃取，看完以后会给你一种思考。
三星半，完全没想到是一个这样的故事，看得很开心。一种工整的，计划好的，没有意外的故事。却处处有些小惊喜，小欢乐，很童话，很梦幻。表演过于用力，也可能是故意为之。
20年了，这群像剧的切入视角真的不错，彷佛完全没有关系的地方和人们。以及我隐约想起疫情之前好像来过上海巡演？？没去看真是太遗憾了TAT
Emma Thompson最后在镜子前欣赏自己的那幕跟张艾嘉在《20 30 40》中很像。
三星半 ｜前2/3极度舒适的片子 最后有些垮了 人物的设计稍显讨巧 矛盾起的也略突兀 为了男主的魅力手松给个四星
好棒的小品啊，在极其有限的空间里，治愈了两段生活。
这个电影让我觉得尴尬，看不下去，如果是写成小说，我会非常想看。
近乎令人心碎的诚实，然而性的愉悦不正是建立在此之上吗？
有了Ham的官摄在前，这次反而觉得还是录音更好听。（果然还是要先看现场版啊！近距离摄像丢了太多细节了）
要不是看到Emma Thompson主演，这个题材我是不会感兴趣的，但出于对Emma Thompson演技派的信任，我就想看了。这是一部颠覆我对牛郎印象的电影。我对中国牛郎的印象就是一群好吃懒做、空有身材、毫无内涵的体育生。但电影里的牛郎Leo彬彬有礼、谈吐不俗、善解人意、不卑不亢、自尊自爱，简直像个绅士，让人大有好感。我知道导演的主旨是女性应该不以性为耻，应该自爱自强。简言之存人欲去道德。最后Nancy得到了救赎，抛弃了循规蹈矩、墨守陈规、按部就班，获得了人性的解放。但我觉得导演对牛郎这个行业想象得太美好了。更可能的是瘾君子、小开、骗子或黑帮分子。男主挺帅，身材超好，正值30岁时拍的电影。这真是一部很省场外费用的电影。
而这对于他们来说，又有什么所谓呢，最后的大尺度亦水到渠成。
男主长得干净又充满欲望。但女人必须要等丈夫死了才能买春，太洁净了
最令人称赞的是舞台设计，这么简单的 呈现形式讲了一个温情的真实故事，体现了导演的能力。
人类一败涂地，但依旧有闪光。
4.4/支持所有女性性解放（性解放不等于性开放，望周知。）更支持她们都可以在最简单直接的方式中拥有自己的快乐。这剧本真的太会了，演员更是十分到位，一间小小的房间把所有复杂的东西都呈现了出来，艾玛婶真的棒的。但是请放心，这并不是鸭的平均水平，一个足够好称得上足够贵的价格的鸭，至少也是一个好的心理咨询师。「也许比起你年轻时的貌美，更有人爱你备受岁月‘摧残’的容颜」
哇哦，十分！必须满分！这是女性向的电影，它说出了我说不出的欲望，渴望性爱，多么自然的需求，却被羞于出口。25岁的女孩也羞愧于自己的身体，在床笫之间不敢展露自己，对身材的不自信。天呐，这就是我在挣扎的事情，我想要减少自己的不自信，只是一直做不到。这个电影帮我说出来了。
原以为还是老生常谈的话题，没想到戏剧张力十足，立意比同题材高很多，Emma Tompson给我太多惊叹，小鲜肉固然可口，学会自己满足自己才是王道。
看的过程热泪盈眶，这就是原汁原味的百老汇歌剧的魅力。舞台表演永远最能接近艺术的本真，它的爆发力和感染力可能是电影都不能具备的。之前的《汉密尔顿》和《万尼亚舅舅》都制作了官摄版，如果没有疫情想必《来自远方》也不会诞生这个版本。至于表演，永远可以不用质疑歌剧演员的演技，他们超一流的群戏、走位、变装，这种舞台感已经说明了一切。棒！
It’s not vain to enjoy your body.
