Korean Title: 소년, 소년을 만나다 (Sonyeon, Sonyeon eul Man Na Da)

The Blatherings: This short film will be making its official debut into the theatrical world on November 20, 2008. Actually, this was introduced here way back in April with an interview from one of the stars in the film: Kim Hye Sung. Then last month, at the Pusan International Film Festival, the film made its “official” appearance there.

The film’s title explains the plot pretty obviously. Kim Hye Sung and Lee Hyung Jin play as two high school students who fall in love with each other. It’s considered “based on a true story”, and the film pretty much lacks one thing: dialogue. The director chose to film it in that manner because he wanted the actor’s facial expression and body language to tell the story. Whether or not this works, if it works, then kudos to the actors and the film makers for taking this angle. Actually, kudos to them for doing something like this. Korea needs to stop being so ultra-conservative!

Sounds like a good idea, Mia.  Count me in . . . along with a plane ticket, hahaha. XD


It would be nice to gather all these movies for a mini film fest. LIke a rainbow fest… nmaybe raise awareness on gay marraige rights and donate some mula to a gay youth charity.

Haven’t gay movies came out in Korea before that didn’t take forever to debut in theaters?

I’m sure there are; I just don’t know about them since I rarely follow mainstream culture. XD
