while closely operating under the limits of the sports / underdog genre, crying fist manages to step apart from other films of the like by creating bealiavable characters. director ryoo seng wan smartly plays with the conventions of the genre by placing not just one character for the audience to follow, but two. each one with different problems, but both with the ambition to escalate from their current position to a much better one. acting becomes a key point here, and both leads do a sharp job in portraying the frustations and personality of each. choi min - sik, the man now with a page in film history thanks to his portrayal of oh dae su in the epic oldboy, plays a boxer who once tasted the glory of the sport, only to drop down thanks to his laziness and carelessness. in the other hand is ryu seung - beom, who plays a young trouble - maker that needs something to focus his raw energy before combusting himself. the guy has his acting skills in place and manages to not let choi min sik over - shadow him. the film follows familiar territory within the genre, but then again, because of the strong cast, and tight and controlled direction, the film never gets preachy or self - indulgent. these guys are not going to become world champions or anything like that, they are just looking for a chance to really start living their lives to the fullest. and that' s what makes crying fist a fine drama and, unlike most of films dealing with boxing, it never becomes a cheap sentimental - cheering contest with the audience .
after the success of the modern - day comic martial arts epic arahan, writer / director ryu seung - wan changed gears and again teamed up with his brother, actor ryu seung - beom, to produce crying fist, a much more serious boxing drama. actor ryu plays yu sang - hwan, a street thug who rejects the life of his hard - working, struggling father for a life of petty crime and run - ins with the law. he winds up in a juvenile detention center, where he responds to some bullying by flying at the bully, roc (kim su - hyeon), and biting his ear off. yu is then taken under the wing of the prison' s boxing trainer, and he learns a bit of self - discipline through boxing, gradually recognizing his own strengths, and eventually acknowledging the support of his caring family. meanwhile, 40 - year - old kang tae - shik (choi min - sik of oldboy), is a washed up former champion whose home and professional life have completely fallen apart. his wife leaves him, taking their young son. besieged by creditors, kang earns a meager living by charging people on the street for the privilege of punching him out. in danger of losing his son forever, his own health deteriorating rapidly, kang decides to enter one last boxing competition, the same one which the equally desperate yu has chosen to show his mettle. crying fist won a fipresci award at the 2005 cannes film festival, and had its north american premiere at subway cinema' s 2005 new york asian film festival, with director ryu in attendance. ~ josh ralske, rovi
each year, the cma awards nominations manage to please the fans of some artists, while confounding others. miranda lambert ’s followers, for instance, have a lot to be thankful for, with another record - setting nine nods for the platinum superstar, including a mention — as the only woman — in the top category, entertainer of the year. fans of jason aldean and brad paisley, on the other hand, are crying into their moonshine today .
crying fist is ryu' s graduation project, a stepping stone to perhaps greater things to come in the future. all these years spent getting a general idea of how film criticism works in korea, how filmgoers are influenced by it. the needs of both parties, his needs, the expectations of his peers. and, last but not least, his international status, still in a dangerous limbo between arthouse acceptance and' fanboy' land. the maturity ryu shows in this project, the newfound stability that makes the film flow perfectly, the fact he' s been able to strip himself of his influences and create something that even defies the world' genre' shows all those hard times were worth something. they were like hard training for an important match, perhaps the most important of his career: finding his voice. now it' s no more wonderkid, enfant prodige, the korean tarantino or scorsese... it' s just ryu seung - wan. and i think we can all be happy for that .
a korean boxing movie that sticks to the rules of the genre but applies them in a modern narrative way. after a rather hectic beginning, crying fist focuses on the parallel stories of its two protagonists. forty - year - old gang tae - shik was a medallist at the 1990 asian games, but after his family life falls apart he makes a living on the streets allowing frustrated people to punch him as therapy. a young man named yu sang - hwan is a fairly capable and remorseless gangster. he eventually ends up in prison where he is more or less forced into learning how to box. both men have gone quickly downhill, and both seek a way out of their predicaments through boxing and the approaching amateur championship... . this rough and tumble movie, featuring a number of bust - ups and brawls and long sequences of training and boxing matches, is rounded out by a melodramatic storyline: the two seemingly incompatible fighters are attached to their families: tae - shik to his son and sang - hwan to his seriously ill grandmother .
00. 자존을 건 두남자의 대결 (the existence of two men' s confrontation) [ 08: 53 ] basically a review of the film by the great korean critic kim young - jin. he talks about this film being different from other boxing films, sharing some similarities with clint eastwood' s million dollar baby. not so much showing the professionalism of boxing, but the fences a lot of normal people find when making decisions that could change their lives. he talks about the misunderstanding about ryu' s body of work. that he started making the films he wanted to make, the films he wanted to see. that die bad wasn' t really an action film as a lot of people saw it, that it was more about life on the street, showing the feelings of those people. even watching no blood no tears, he thought that sentiment was even stronger. that his films always have two elements converging together: the action, and the reason why it happens, the mental state of the characters. he feels these two things have been brought to the highest level in crying fist, showing a kind of motivation and energy that is hard to find in korean films. he thinks ryu will continue to do well in the future .
when you think about it, boxing is like life. you work hard for a long time, preparing for the biggest match of your career. there are people helping you get there, teaching you what to do based on their experience. but, ultimately, when you put on the gloves and enter that ring, you' re by yourself. all you' ve learned is put to the test, how your body and mind react to the obstacles put in front of you depends on how prepared you are. how many hits you can take before falling down and giving up. boxing, like life, is not about winning, but surviving, until the end; it doesn' t matter how you get there, what you do to reach that goal... all it matters is being there. being able to say i' ve done it, i' m a survivor. and it' s only then that you can really understand the meaning of winning. ryu seung - wan' s 주먹이 운다 (crying fist) is a film about the huge boxing ring that is life, where surviving is the only thing that matters. where people who experience the bottom of the barrel are able to survive through fundamental emotions: rage and hope .
work is the efficient way in which director kim characterizes his large cast (all identified by their internet id' s). with eight main characters, and much of the film' s 86 - minute running time devoted to fight scenes, kim needs to quickly flesh out his heroes to make them distinct and memorable. his success at doing so in the space of a short road trip makes it all the more interesting later when the characters start to pair off against each other. will iron fist, a soft - spoken woman who practices kung fu, get a chance to sink her feet into the obnoxious, trash - talking gangster killer smile? our disappointment that some potential matchups never materialize only underlines the director' s skill and passion in assembling this low - budget film.
