The box office cycle of Korean movies is so short that even super blockbusters like "The Bourne Supremacy" failed to maintain their number one spot.
In the third week after "My Father" was released, "The Bourne Supremacy" was pushed to the second place by "Love". "Happy Life" is still in the fifth place, with a total of 480,000 moviegoers!
"My Father" once again shocked everyone. Before this, many experts and commentators had already sworn that this movie would definitely have a huge box office hit in its third week of release.
Diving down!
But what’s the result?
This time it was still in third place, but it crushed "The Kidnapping of Ms. Kwon Soon-fen" severely, and once again collected 400,000 people at the box office, which is almost the same as the 420,000 people of "The Bourne Supremacy". The total box office
Up to 1.1 million people!
That’s right, 400,000 people! Compared to the first week, the box office in the second week was much higher!
A rise of more than 10% against the trend! For a Korean movie, how many times can such a situation occur in a year?
This rare situation has stunned countless experts. In their opinion, although the actors' acting skills are good and the filming is okay, that's it! Apart from Lin Youmin's eye-catching acting skills, there is nothing particularly worthwhile
The things that are praised, looking at the major film reviews, are basically about equal parts criticism and praise!
In this regard, there is a review on an entertainment website: Although the story of "My Father" is very touching, the rhythm is too slow. This is an indisputable fact. But what the author wants to say is not
The overall plot is reflected in various seemingly casual details.
The montage that touched me the most was the scene at the market. The voice-over was a continuation of his father’s white lie from the previous scene. The scene showed James revisiting his hometown according to his father’s description, and he realized that even though decades had passed,
Nothing seems to have changed, as
If all this is true, he seemed to feel the emotions of his parents at that time, and walked into that beautiful life that left no impression, so he felt a lot. The scenes and lines of this scene cooperated very well. The alley was full of emotions.
It has a breath of life and is extremely comfortable to move around.
In this movie, Lin Youmin, who serves as the clue to the entire movie, fulfills this responsibility very well. It can even be said that a long play, an inadvertent little plot, and a seemingly ordinary line can impress the audience.
The faint feeling in my heart,
On the subject of father's love, many people have fallen into the misunderstanding of how to describe father's love in a more grand and broad way. However, they do not know that movies like "My Father" are the most worthy of our recall. As for the procrastination and straightforward narration of the plot,
It doesn’t matter anymore!
Perhaps such a review represents the views of some viewers, but there are still many people who are puzzled. Sometimes, it is so inexplicable, and the harder it is to understand, because people who are curious and want to see it will
The more!
In terms of box office, many people originally thought that this was already a limit. To exaggerate, it was a "return to the past" and it was impossible to continue to improve!
But reality is sometimes so cruel. When other movies released at the same time have been thrown into nowhere, "My Father" is still persisting energetically. No, maybe it cannot be said that it is persisting, but
Very "strong".
It’s just such a movie, 80% of which is shot by Lim Yoo-min alone. With a production cost of 3 billion won, it just waved the sickle in the fourth week and hacked away at other movies.
Next piece of meat!
Originally, "The Bourne Supremacy" had already picked up, with a box office of 700,000 in one week, and "Love" could not help but win 900,000, taking first place. The seemingly tepid "
"My Father" does not have such a terrifying ability to capture the box office, and it steadily continues to attract 400,000 visitors, with a total of 1.5 million visitors! - According to this trend, it seems that exceeding 2 million is not an impossible task!
Fortunately, "My Father" has been in theaters for a month. As a small-production film that was not originally commercial, its potential has been fully explored. After achieving a cumulative box office of 1.5 million people,
In the latest week, it finally ushered in a substantial plunge of nearly 50%, with only an increase of 230,000 box office viewers!
A large number of experts and commentators finally breathed a sigh of relief and no longer had to speculate in confusion about how much potential this movie has! "My Father" is definitely one of the biggest dark horses this year! With only three
With a production cost of 1 billion won, it was able to achieve results of nearly 2 million people watching the movie, which is really outstanding!
Correspondingly, Lin Youmin was greeted with lavish praise. Film critics who really couldn't find the reason for the film's popularity had no choice but to give credit to the one who was the most outstanding in the film - of course, in a certain sense, Lin Youmin
Well deserved!
From "The War of Money" in the middle of the year to "My Father" a few months later, in just a few months, Lin Youmin once again completed a magnificent turn, and news about him occupied people's attention.
The deeper reason probably starts with a rumor that I don’t know whether it is reliable or not. According to relevant sources, Ahn Sung-ki once said at a private gathering of old friends, "Lim Woo-min is the next me."
Well, there is no way to verify whether this sentence is true or false, but obviously for the media, there is no need to verify it.
The troika representing the pinnacle of Korean acting, Song Kang-ho, Choi Min-sik, and Seol Kyung-gu created the era of the "troika" of Korean actors with their outstanding acting skills and charismatic charm. Cho Seung-woo, Ha Jung-woo, and Park Hae-il have outstanding personalities and acting skills.
They are solid and known as the "Troika" of the next generation of male actors. Behind them, there are more or less candidates who have also been called the "Troika".
But there has never been an actor who has been given high hopes as "the next Ahn Sung-ki".
Yes, no, no one thinks that there can be another "Ahn Sung-ki" who can take up the sky in the Korean entertainment industry with just one person!
Such news, regardless of whether it is true or not, is enough to become a hot topic among people, at least until Ahn Sung-ki remains silent and does not formally refute it!
There are doubts, criticisms, disdain, expectations, and support. In short, at least such an impression is like a small seed, buried in the hearts of many people. If it really takes root and sprouts in the future, maybe they will not
Would be too surprised!
