Movie Digest
The warm condolence I give you, the time, you face me entirely. People in Seoul, for the first time talk about their anxieties. In front of the camera, their voices were like reading a poetry. A woman in her thirties is worried about whether she should withstand a hard life by taking medicine. A man in his 50’s, he had panic disorder. A worker works as a machine without thinking of another choice. A man who seeks resilience in games rather than reality. And a woman who equates her hatred and discrimination with the pain. All of them have different situations. But they were all facing uncertainty and miserable sensibility.
The Feel-Good Part
The concept and storyline are outstanding. The movie successfully conveys what it wants to. The narration and dialogue delivery were perfect.
The Disappointing Factor
The only missing thing was the production values; otherwise, everything was perfect.
In-Depth Analysis
The movie revolves around five people, and all of them have a special relationship with poetry. Poems are an elixir of life to them. They feel poems are a cure, an escape from the everyday rush. They were not happy with the consumer society. They didn’t have dreams about money, careers, or recognition. They wish to live life without fears and pressures. They are all accompanied by poetry on their way to a varied method of existence, and poetry gave them strength when their courage failed. The calm and serenity reflected on their faces tell their decisions were correct. So, Jung Lee gives her protagonists enough space to get to the subject’s core. The film outlines the intersections where their paths cross in a pleasantly associative images. They might have different problems, but their irritations have identical roots. This film gives a stage to those who are resolved to follow an other clock.
Star Power
The cast was top-notch with their roles. The principal leads, as well as the supporting cast, did a fantastic job. The actors played well what was given to them. All the emotions felt natural.
Overall Opinion
Time to read the poem is a documentary film. It is a mind-blowing film that can is worth-watching.
