Castaway on the Moon

This is one of the SIFF movie which is my teacher recommended. This is a South Korea movie, so I could enjoyed this movie withour subtitle. It was very new experience to see South Korea movie in American movie theather.

The story of this movie is a man who had collection debts and was dumped from his girl friend tried to kill himself at Han-river, but it was not successful. Because he was dropped on the Island which couldn't live in Han-river. A woman who belived in living in her room only without any communication with others and can have various experience found him. These people could find match point each other and finally, met each other after escaping the Island and her room.

I think plot in the movie is very interesting.Nobady can imainge that someone lived in the Island is Seoul which is metrocity in South Korea. The city is very busy and has lived too many people,but no one knows he was there. I think that it means that it is "us". People look like communication with each other very well, but it is not true. When I saw first scene in the movie, a man used his cell phone, I had some idea. Cell phone looks like to a way of communication with others in society, but it is only one way to communicate with person. It just a one way, only sender exists without receiver. In the movie, cell phone was not working because of out of battery, a man could return to natural mind. At that time, he though that if he died, it is not bad. Therefore, he could really enjoyed something which he did not know it was there.

During the castaway life in the Island, he could contact with a woman who looked at the moon in her room through analog way without any digital machine. In their communication, they felt something common relationship each others strongly and their relationship changed kind of couple. In the movie, a man and a woman had suffer from society and they tried to separate with society through suicide and lying. Final scene, they were cured by each others. I think that their needs were communication and homogeneity. They were kind of loser in society, but when they tried to overcome their suffering, it is going to be started to communication. Their weakness is a way of communication.

21's Century is very high technology community. Whenever, people need to communicate with others , they can use electronic device. Although the digital device is developing well, the way of communication each other goes backward. I think that if I want to tell my mind through text, it is not enough and reciever can misunderstand. Also, I think that it is not right what closed my mind because I don't want to have suffer with others. When I have that problem, I need to go others, not avoiding relationship.
