hawalee The movie 'Wish' follows a young girl who is sexually assaulted by a man, and the repercussions of this traumatizing experience on her and her family. It delves into her recovery from the experience and gives an insightful look into the emotions felt by herself, and those around her. I cannot even begin to describe my love for this film. Upon literally watching it 5 minutes ago, I believe it may be one of my most favorite movies of all time. I am not ashamed to admit I sobbed throughout literally an hour and thirty minutes of the film (basically 3/4 of the entire movie.) This movie was honestly so touching, emotional, heartbreaking, absolutely soul crushing to watch. And the fact that it is based on true story, is even more raw and honest-feeling. I believe that some of the most stand out scenes were: 1) The scene in which the father had tried to help clean his daughters burst colostomy bag and her reaction to this. Not only was it heart breaking to watch her freeze in fear, but the fathers reaction to her doing this and the pain and sadness he would've felt. 2) The scene in which the daughter removes the head of the Kokomong suit her father had been wearing around her just so he could be near her without scaring her off, and the emotions shown on the actors face conveyed so much of everything, it was an extremely touching moment.3) The scene in which the father and mother react to the sentence which was given to the rapist and as the father is about to (I want to say kill, because the look in his eyes was absolutely full of rage) beat the rapist and the daughter rushes into the court room and grabs onto her fathers leg pleading him to just go home. Of course there were many more amazing scenes, but those were a few that really stood out to me. All I can say about this movie is that, it was an eye opening and heart breaking film to watch and that EVERYONE should definitely see it.

Akshat Sapra There is a line which father says to his friend, "You didn't went through all of it". Being a passive viewer of the situation, I felt everything. It felt like I was with the father the whole time. He was feeling so helpless that he couldn't do anything to ease his daughter's pain.The film was full of powerful emotional frames. Out of all, there was one scene which affected me deeply. It was when victim was rushed away from the media, and while her father was cleaning her, she yelled for help, told her father to go away and not to touch her. Putting these words cannot surpass the potency of the scene. You'll feel so much pain. I couldn't get through all of the turbulent emotion running all the frames sequentially while I was writing the review; therefore, I will just end it.

sigynnez Well, I just watched the movie, and made a search to find out it is based on the real "Nayoung case", and that they Korean system for law is so weak.SPOILERSYoung girl walks at school, a man kidnapped her and then raped her brutally, and beat her almost to death. About the case, the man was prosecuted but his sentence was too light as the real case was.The movie itself was a song for life and survival, a song for bonding and love.As a rape survivor my self (at age 7 and 9. I know, you don't want to know, but it is important) this was so close to me, this have all feelings I had, all struggles I had (not at So-Won case physical level) for shame and pain, and all the conflicts to trust again. This movie just touched me and had my crying a lot, feeling despair, and smiling at So-won's father fight to regain his daughter trust again.The worst: there's nothing wrong to me.The best: the young child actress is awesome.Watch at your own risk, but trust me... this worth it.

markrschulz This movie is shocking on many levels. There is not too much to it that has not been revealed in the rather brief synopsis above. A little girl is brutally raped and almost dies, the movie is a character study of the impact that this heinous event has on her family, friends and community at large.While some scenes are touching, the way the movie portrays the malevolence of the criminal, along with the ineptitude of the Korean criminal justice system left many in the audience either weeping or gasping as each line delivered in these scenes is like a punch to the stomach.In a manner that truly befits an episode of 'Dexter', the monster escapes unpunished along with the promise to the girl's father that he will create the same situation for another family as soon as he can.In the end we are left with a shattered community trying to pick up the pieces, and having limited success. One can only assume that the titular 'wish' is that things will get better after the credits roll...
