This week to start off my Korean movie viewing is the film 3-Iron you could say that’s its not the best choice to practice listening comprehension as there isn’t actually much talking throughout the film but what it lacks in dialogue its makes up with the story and interaction between the two lead characters.
The film begins with us following around a guy who travels from place to place on his motorbike, at the beginning of each day he goes around a neighbourhood sticking flyers to peoples doors which he then returns to later that night to see which door hasn’t had the flyer removed, which would suggest to him that nobody was home. He then proceeds to brake into the house and makes himself at home for the night, in return he repairs things around the house and leaves everything as it was before leaving, never taking anything although as you can imagine he does run into the owners on occasion which lead to some sticky situations.
>Eventually he brakes into a house and finds that he is not alone he meets a wife who has been beaten by her husband, when her husband returns home some events ensue and she runs away with the traveller living the life that he does staying in different houses with all sorts of backgrounds and events that they must deal with. It’s just such a nice movie to watch and one I highly recommend even for people who have no interest in Korean movies the main focus is the interaction between the characters even though they never speak to each other you can still feel what they want to say.
