**This movie was so odd to me! I can't understand why it is in the top 100 movies. Maybe you have to understand the Korean culture in the 80s to appreciate this movie.
There isn't much dialogue in the movie. The dialogue doesn't start until about 40 minutes into the movie. A lot of the movie is silent with a kid narrating.
It was neat to see how Korea has changed over the years. The cars, fashion and buildings have changed a lot since the 80's.
