South Korean movies are now in full swing, giving Hollywood competitors a surprise in the local market. However, there was a time when doubts were stronger than confidence about the future of Korean film. "Green Fish," which was released in 1997, is one of the Korean movies that turned the tide. It was debut film of the novelist-turned-director Lee Chang-dong, who reaped later a bigger success with "Peppermint Candy." The movie is about a rustic young man who joins a group of gangsters in order to realize his dream of buying a small restaurant for his family. Did he achieve his dream? Yes and no, as is mostly the case in movies and in life. The vivid acting of the Han Sok-kyu, as the young man, really amazed audiences here in such scenes as when he kills the boss of a rival faction and makes a telephone call to his mother in tears. The movie was such a big success that it gave birth to a slew of gangster films, including the latest hit "Friend." "Green Fish" might be called the prototypical Korean gangster film. |
