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.
其实觉得信息量很大，从牛看向洞穴到人进入，有些上帝视角看人永恒的冲动与未知和重力抗衡。探照灯转动显露不同形状材质的三维空间再被压平在二维屏幕上；从身体感知和测量尺度结合想象补完空间形状，抽象成图像记录，饰以线条和阴影表现质感，graphical document as a device to legitimize. 人造物与声音在洞中的侵入感，人带来的帐篷与生活痕迹并置旁边不变的牛群。老人的拟声呼唤被嘲笑后寂静，人也从树下消失，最后一场大雾又带回了老人的呼唤声。一个人在无声洞穴的孤立感等两个人或者有沟通就消失了。电影里人们极少的沟通不是面向观众的，反而更想与电影外的同伴交流确认，怕忘记自己的联想。亮一点的时候观众也像在望着柏拉图洞穴影子吗。 NYFF59
#BJIFF 2021 寰映（杜比厅被换）
香港电影怎么了，以前拍底层拍小人物，香港电影是top级别的，这是怎么了？？？这么好的题材，导演甚至不愿意好好塑造人物
84'出世输不代表一世输🇬🇩
无论是生气地拒绝别人的好心“你怎么不请他们喝（可乐）”，还是怯弱地向媒体表达同工同酬的诉求，妈妈都想要全世界把你当一个普通人。
想起刚看过的阿巴斯，视听极佳的伪纪录片，摒弃语言，感动自己涌现。
洞穴的探索与老人日常生活的平行剪辑像是对一段往事的探索。
在三十分钟的屏保展示之后，“洞”让电影豁然开朗起来。
波兰New Horizons 2022。 4，在读博前夕看到这个很有感触，往下探索，因为洞就在那里。
其实全程就一个问题 到底怎么拍的啊啊啊？？？
诗意，先验，技艺精湛，但就是看了像没看一样
电影讲述1961年意大利一个洞穴学家探险队对一个深洞的探测过程，同时还讲述旁边一户牧民每天放牛的过程，两件事穿插在一起，最有意思的是电影没有一句对白，也没有对话，节奏很慢，简直比纪录片和纪录片，就是静静的拍摄人的工作过程，镜头几乎都是固定的某个位置，看着人员在工作在洞穴里前进和记录，让观众自己去体会过程的艰辛。同时很多的风景和日出日落的镜头，让观众体会附近的美景和大自然的声音，很美妙，感觉自己就站在这个山上，能体会自然的味道，有点意思。这个电影挺特殊的，就是探洞的过程，探到底了，村里的牧民也去世了，电影结束了，告诉观众这是真实的事，1961年探索了世界第三深的深洞639米。这是一部让人感同身受的真实的电影。
BJIFF.摄影最绝了！缓慢电影爱好者的盛宴。科学探险队对峡谷的探险实际上也是一种破坏，老人和深洞互为象征。村民看电视里的人乘坐电梯爬高楼，小孩子戴着探照灯是夜晚乡村里唯一的光，现代文明的到来真的是件好事情吗？难道不是入侵的一种？深入洞穴的过程也深入了我的意识，不管是滴滴答答的水声还是满眼的绿色都是一种深度放松。
2.5/5 青年和成年苏桦伟的演员选得挺好的，长得很像。不太喜欢这部片可能是因为它一直营造一种悲情催泪的氛围，回避掉许多现实问题的呈现和答案。比起苏桦伟，其实我更想知道为照顾他而出生的弟弟的故事，那会是怎样的人生。
总感觉如果只是讲这些道理，未必太浅了些
《神》讲残奥会母子情
吴君如太牛了，最佩服这种喜剧演员，演起正剧也毫不含糊，岁月神偷和这部，都好棒。
“非完美母亲”的定位让电影变得更具真实感，但这种真实却在每个时段的浮光掠影和过度渲染中被消磨掉了。
电影感太弱，我总想到中国早就有《桃花源记》：晋太元中，武陵人捕鱼为业……山有小口，仿佛若有光……如果要拍《桃花源记》应该也是这种伪纪录片的风光片，高低重叠脱离时代的小村，鸡犬相闻，牛羊散落，清晨马探进帐篷，人类探索洞穴是现实进取的，大雾之中老人的呼哨声是神秘主义的。
喜欢水滴声和几条并行的线。
