"Poetry" by Lee Chang-Dong

Poetry (Korean: 시; translit. Shi) is a 2010 South Korean drama film written and directed by Lee Chang-dong. It tells the story of a suburban woman in her 60s who begins to grow an interest for poetry while struggling with Alzheimer's disease and her irresponsible grandson. Yoon Jeong-hee stars in the leading role, which was her first role in a film since 1994. The film was selected for the main competition at the 2010 Cannes Film Festival, where it won the Best Screenplay Award. Other accolades include the Grand Bell Awards for Best Picture and Best Actress.

Sunairi: As I saw the railer, I felt the power a while ago. It looked quietly contemplative and profound just from a bunch of men talking with the lady.  Usually Lee Chang Dong has been kind of sensational in subject matters, "Green Fish" with Gangstar, "Oasis" with handicapped girl who falls in love and "Secret Sunshine" with emotionally draining narrative and sensationalism.  But this one profundity lies upon the protagonist's will for truth, even it can harm grandson's life.  It will do him good, or he cared for the girl who died.  As I try to imagine why.....maybe she had a bad husband or she just didn't see her grandson's reverence......she writes poetry of justice.  Really quietly profound.
