3-iron

Bin-jip (original title)

Director: Ki-duk Kim

A transient young man breaks into empty homes to live for a few days, while the residents are away for a holiday.He does it though with good intentions, not being a thief, but a master, he repairs everything that is broken, no matter is that a tv set or a clock.

Everyday he hangs flyers on front doors, and by the evening he knows who is not at home. It's interesting that you get that only by the middle of the film, because first you think that's his job actually. He does that every single day, until he runs into an ex-model, a very beautiful women being hurt by her tough husband. It is interesting how these two young people build their relationship. Seems like they don't need words at all, they understand each other silently. When Tae-suk, for example, accidentally kills a woman in a car crash, Sun-hwa knowingly takes a sit by him and holds his head. Or when she stands in protest in front of the ball, when he plays "golf". There was no need for saying a word, that would destroy the scene.

It was interesting how they kept silent throughout the whole movie. Any other man caught by the police would be screaming that he is not guilty, but not him, even though he knew it was unfair. You keep wondering why he didn't say anything, until he is released from the prison. You understand how strong he is as a person, and you start to respect him as well as Sun-hwa, who stays faithful and unfailing till the end, even though her husband seemed changed cardinally.

My favourite scene was the very last one, when they stood on the scale, and it showed zero. I think that's a very beautiful interpretation of a metaphor for love. That demonstrates that People in Love do fly. I'm in love with that movie, and I look forward to seeing some more of that producer.
