tbh i only watched this movie because i wanted to see do kyungsoo, and even though i loved his acting in this film (and every other film he' s in) this film made my heart ache and shined a light on a topic that isn' t brought up a lot. i was angry and sad, i cried and laughed, and i enjoyed this film more than i was anticipating and i appreciate the message it has
man push cart is a gem of independent film making. it is a beautiful, haunting portrayal of one man' s life in an alien city. a thriving metropolis like new york is home to a myriad of stories. in the course of our daily lives, we only scratch the surfaces of many of these. this film delves deeper into one of them - the story of ahmad, an immigrant bagel cart worker. there is some optimism, but equally, much disappointment. moments of happiness, and many of sadness. hollywood demands that the hero gets the girl, achieves success, and all is resolved in a
happy ending
. this film is unashamedly and refreshingly un - hollywood, and ahmad' s ultimate fulfilment is by no means guaranteed. nevertheless, like sisyphus, he will persevere. when the cameras stop rolling, and we leave the cinema, he will continue. it is this, together with superb lead actor ahmad razvi' s own personal experiences as a push cart vendor, that make this film so convincing and compelling. this is a film that stays with you. for those of us who live in large cities, this film is a moving insight into the world that goes on all around us, a world that we skim past every day and quickly forget. man push cart is a sympathetic, but not sentimental, snapshot of this world, and one that is well worth experiencing .

the second film in the' lone wolf and cub' series is better then the first. as ogami itto continues his journey he is forced to battle a group of female ninja and assasinate a traitor out to sell secrets.' baby cart at the river styx' is far more defined then the first film, now the concept is firmly in place the film has freedom to operate much more freely and flesh out its interesting lead character as well as a cast of interesting side characters and daigoro (ogami' s son).' baby cart at the river styx' also feels far more well rounded then the first in the series and has a better ending (which was my main complaint with the first). much like the first in the series this installment takes violence and uses it in an extreme yet poetic style alongside artistic imagery and often dead silience. as well as ogami' s journey the second film also features an interesting side plot about the leader of the female ninja coming to terms with her own abilities, the will to survive and honor. the series feels as if it is leading up to something great so i hope it lives up to the expectations set in place by this film .
in the best film category is jk youn’ s ode to my father, which recently passed the 14 million admissions mark and the all time second highest grossing film at thekorean box office. hong sangsoo ’s hill of freedom was nominated in the same section, while hong is on the shortlist for best director. kase ryo, who stars in hong’s feature, is also up for the best actor award. in addition, roaring currents ’ choi min - shik is up the same prize. this film, which rewrote korean film history last year, is about the real life hero admiral yi sun - shin. choi has already won various awards for this role including grand bell awards, blue dragon awards, and maxmovie best film awards, which are decided by viewers. choi now looks towards the asian film awards to see if he can add another trophy to his collection .
bjy: with full support from the production company, myung films, everything went well. but during pre - production, it wasn’t possible to use or rent the department store in which the film was set, so we had to rent a warehouse and eventually build half the set. moreover, in its early stage, myung films had difficulties getting full funding for the film. it seemed that, since most of korea’s leading enterprises were [ financially ] involved in both retail and movies, location - scouting and raising funding were not so easy for a film like cart, which tells the story of the temporary workers at a major supermarket who fight against the unfair actions of a company .

taking on cart was not in line with the rush of social critique films coming out such as silenced (2011) and the attorney (2013). it was more due to the sense of heightened public awareness and interest in the lives of women, inspired by forever the moment. also coming across a news report on part - time female workers at large - scaled supermarket chains, we have made the decision to turn this story into a film. this subject matter was never dealt with by a mainstream film company with a commercial production budget and star cast. we are convinced that if the film succeeds in creating a public appeal as it has through forever the moment, it will lead to a positive effect which is another reason why we decided to take the film. as for im kwon - taek’s cremation, this was a decision made out of the desire to participate with the acknowledgment of an outstanding filmmaker’s vision. and although we’ve never worked together before, our respect towards this master in film and the sense of responsibility we feel about assisting him in continuing his work had us join forces to work on a new project .
in her new movie “cart, ” director boo ji - young depicts temporary employees of a mega supermarket chain who are facing unfair layoffs. they are ordinary women, including a mother of two kids, a single mom and a college grad. they gather to fight against the company’s exploitative practices .
you would think. but as victor, distracted by the television sets he lusts after and an abrasive friend (lali gonzález) who wants a cut of the action, trundles his loaded cart through alleys lousy with grabbers and grifters, the film evolves from wryly comedic lark to major - stakes thriller. flinging obstacles as if they were confetti — a desperate rival for the assignment (víctor sosa); a pair of conflicted cops; the cargo’s menacing owners — the filmmakers stage an amazing race that almost absolves an overstuffed plot and an over - reliance on coincidence. all the while, richard careaga’s anxious camera skids under tables and peers up uneasily from the cart’s bouncing wheels; it knows that sooner or later we’re going to have to see what’s in those boxes .
this part of the film proposal should read like a short story and be written in the present tense. the film treatment presents the entire story including the ending, and use some key scenes and dialogue from the screenplay it is based on. it is more detailed than the synopsis and may include details of directorial style that an outline omits .

is not an indictment of the american economy or some kind of political allegory. it is about what it is about. i think the message may be that it is better, after all, to push the cart than to face a life without purpose at the bottom of the hill .
in a film like this, it is pointless to describe

bjy: well, generally speaking, a film made by a female director tends to be called “women’s cinema, ” whereas, if you think of an action movie featuring a bunch of guys, people don’t call it “men’s cinema. ” i hope that, even if a lot of women appear in my film, it won’t be categorized as “women’s cinema. ”
exploited temp workers at a big - box store in south korea organize themselves to fight layoffs in “cart, ” a standard - issue pic that hits all the expected notes about a standard issue. based on a real case, this solidly made sophomore feature by boo ji - young (“sisters on the road”) is the kind of earnestly crafted labor - rights drama in which various characters, each a distinct type, band together to fight against evil suits. it’s a worthy story but too familiar to play much beyond korean showcases overseas; at home, “cart” totaled more than 800, 000 admissions, with takings exceeding $ 5 million .

cart (2014) is a korean film based on a true story. it' s about big - box store (looks very much like wal - mart) employees banding together against corporate greed. most of the initial workers are women and their organizing attempts are inspiring. as with most foreign films americans might find the timing a little unsettling but this is an interesting peek into korean culture. if you' re in the mood for a south korean version of norma rae (1979) this is it .
in order to weave this weighty issue into her film in a more intriguing and accessible way, boo researched the subject for years, and talked with employees who were involved in similar labor disputes .
boo ji - young attended the korean academy of film arts. she directed the feature film sisters on the road (2009), as well as four shorts: spark (1997), his humming (2000), a drop of clear salty liquid (2002), and a time to love (2011, co - directed with yang ik - june). (tiff official site )

the character, named ahmad (ahmad razui), has had a life before this, but the pushcart now defines the parameters of his existence. he was a pakistani rock star, although how that career ended and he came to new york to push a cart (which would be a subject of a more conventional film) is barely suggested. ahmad' s wife is dead, his in - laws will not allow him to see his son, and maybe he originally came to america to seek the child. now he sells bagels .

though she knows that she doesn’t have power to change the labor system or bring about political changes, she said she hoped that through the film people become more aware of the issue and engage in dialogue .

we see the world he inhabits outside the cart. he knows the other nearby vendors, including a hispanic woman at a magazine stand. romance would be a possibility, except that romance is not a possibility in ahmad' s life. it is too filled with the making of a living. like so many americans who work low - wage jobs, sometimes two or even three of them, his work essentially subsidizes his ability to keep on working .
well crafted drama, sleepers manages to tackle a revenge style story with the right mix of drama that is aided by a great cast of talented actors. i thought that the ideas expressed on - screen were well tackled in the sense that there are several disturbing moments with the first hour of the film. the rest of the film changes gears and goes into a court room drama. barry levinson' s direction is well done, and we get an accomplished picture that is captivating, powerful and unforgettable. this is a well structured revenge crime drama that uses basic elements of storytelling to really let the tale unfold. sleepers is engaging, and the levinson suggests what is happening to the boys off camera, makes this film quite disturbing, but it' s done in a way to leave to the viewer to interpret what kind of horrors they face. with that aspect, the film really is impressive as it' s engrossing from start to finish, and there are some tremendous talent that is present here. revenge films are pretty much alike, but the way they' re handled make them stand out, and with sleepers we have a terrific picture that is very well acted and directed, and in that regard it' s a memorable genre film that does manage to stand out due to its cast and the way it handles its subject. if you enjoy the genre, sleepers is a film not to miss, it works on many levels and it' s a film that despite its simple plot, manages to be riveting from start to finish. legal dramas are always interesting to watch because there are so many spins to the story, and with the story that is here, we have something that is entertaining, yet at the same time hard to watch. luckily the way the subject was handled was very well done .
as the film deals with the ongoing social issue in korea of millions of temporary workers and their job insecurity, bailey commented that “the problem is a heavily gendered one, with women far less likely than men to land the increasingly rare full - time roles. ”
it' s times like these, when union and workers' rights are being weakened at the state and national level in the u. s. (around the world, i wonder, with the global trend of conservatism ?), that films like this anger and touch me especially. i don' t even mind that cart fits a familiar narrative arc; it' s easy to be swept up in the

that is why she thinks several producers in china want to look for a korean director to do their own local films where the film looks chinese, but you don' t see the korean element, as illustrated with the success of

major companies’ monopolization must be resolved. the façade of 200 million admissions in total local ticket sales has eluded us from acknowledging such industry polarization caused by monopoly. if only a few fortunate companies continue to reap profits in the market, this will ultimately work against the growth of the local film industry. diversity now is imperative .
