Synopsis
Do-seong (Yoo Min) is a child monk who lives at a small mountain temple with the head monk (Byeon Ki-jong), learning the teachings of Buddha. He becomes attached to a young widow (Choi Eun-hee) who comes to pray at the temple, and the childless widow entreats the head monk to let her raise Do-seong as her own son. Conflict ensues when Do-seong's real mother (Kim Seon-young) appears, but she leaves the temple for the sake of her son's future. On the day the widow is to take the child down from the mountain, the head monk discovers that Do-seong has killed a bird by ensnaringit in a trap and decides not to let the boy go into the secular world. When Do-seong finds out that his real mother has been to the temple, he sets out to find her.
Notes
"A film that has garnered recognition for its cinematography and direction by eliminating sentimentality and unaffectedly capturing the quiet life of a mountain temple. A Hometown in Heart demonstrates the camera technique and directorial skill of movies that appeared after the liberation of Korea."
A Hometown in Heart, adapted from playwright Ham Se-deok's A Little Monk (Dong-seung), was hailed upon its release as "a masterpiece that marked a new pinnacle in Korean moviemaking after the liberation." Eschewing new-school sentimentality to quietly express a boy's longing for maternal love, the film unfolds the everyday lives of three generationsthe head monk, a young monk, and a little child monkagainst the backdrop of a quiet temple in the mountains. The long shots utilized by director of cinematography Han Hyung-mo to capture the beautiful scenery of the mountain temple from a distance received great critical acclaim at the time. Also, each of the film's characters is convincingly portrayed through the skillful direction of Yoon Yong-kyu. In particular, the scene which expresses Do-seong's desperate yearning for a mother's love and his birth mother's past visit to the temple by combining them into a dream sequence reveals deep consideration for articulating story and emotion via a compressed visual grammar without tending toward sentimentalism. The movie's final scene, in which Do-seong awakens from his dream and sets off down the path in search of his mother, is both touching and beautiful. The film also features Choi Eun-hee, in the part of the young widow who warmly embraces Do-seong with her love, in one of her first roles.
Afterword:
- Lee Kang-su, writing under the pseudonym of Kwak Il-byeong, first adapted playwright Ham Se-deok's A Little Monk (Dong-seung) into a screenplay, which was then shot for the silver screen with additional embellishments by the director.
很多细节点有被猜到，两个罪犯来接头时的表现有点刻意黑色幽默。这种感觉我不太喜欢，就是能察觉导演的意图，但这样的意图并不是我想看到的
还挺有趣的，一个小房间发生的不断反转的故事。节奏也不错，悬疑部分卡点卡的也好，演技也都在线，结构方面或许有需要打磨的地方，结尾没那么仓促会好很多。三星半。
（玩手机听电影系列）出乎意料的好看了，挺惊喜，国产大烟枪
低成本剧本杀般抽丝剥茧，由重重反转点亮整幅地图，剧作结构上的出挑与新颖，但细节经不起二刷与推敲。新人导演一体机创作作者电影，老戏骨人保戏加上俯拍镜头也算可圈可点，利欲熏心的反面讽刺，依旧是伟光正的双面演绎。一出可远观不能细品的折子戏，一部可消遣不必深究的开胃菜。导演前途无量，未来影院重逢。
小惊喜，喜剧搭配悬疑还带着点惊悚的杂糅片，没什么大bug，整体尚能及格。
有想法，有话题，有反转，小成本电影里算不错的。
不停的反转，最终也没有反转出一朵花出来！故弄玄虚过分了就成了装逼，就成了画虎不成反类犬！
我还挺喜欢这种抽丝剥茧般把故事一点点还原出来的故事，多线发展，所有人都是不速之客
居然有点烧脑，反转过瘾。小孩出来那一瞬间快破防了，为人父母见不得这些。愿世间光明多一些
可惜了，市场现状是悬疑必须搭上喜剧才能卖。
还挺不错的。罗生门式的展开，随着每一次小小反转，一点点拨开事情的真相。各位演技都在线，一些该有的冲突之处的情感爆点，情绪拿捏得也挺好。人口贩子该死啊！以及，钱冻在冰柜里，它确实不好拿😐
20220313 反转悬疑，都在一间房子里，正适合范伟的小品基本功！虽然有点牵强硬要有邪不压正的意思，总体还能看！
惊喜！太久没见这么扎实的国产剧本了，罗生门式的人物自我讲述，外卖员一次次骑车入场犹如狂奔的罗拉，小孩子出现时笼罩在主角身上的光已抽离了悬疑本身令人触动，而整体的反转反转再反转，是太多年前反转剧的值得消磨时光。

个人非常无感这种反转再反转的剧情。除了反转本身，就很没意思。没意思程度相当于赵本山的脑筋急转弯和王建国的谐音梗。
分线很多，剧情其实一般，拍的挺吸引人的。和小易一起看的，还有其他同事，贼刺激
白瓷关公像碎了一地，在闭环的房间只有心存善念活到了最后。没有残障就算是半成品，一个月的加工得让多少不速来客在世上横行。推出冻成冰块的百万现金，在大屏幕上直播，躲得过易燃制冷液的爆炸，躲不过天道有轮回。
剧本杀，而且全员恶人。许多情节看似突兀，回想起来确实又交代过，想玩黑色幽默吧又不具备那个艺术细菌，新晋导演的牛刀小试，勉强及格了，6.0/10。
1.冲着张颂文老师看的。 2.窦骁脱掉外卖员外套简直像解开了封印！ 3.其他各方面都一般般。
三星半。可能多数人希望的结局，是在警察冲入房间，把小马堵个正着时结束吧，或许这种所谓的开放结局会更让人钟于打高分，不过喜欢HE的我，还是愿意为好人至少没有恶报的结尾，多打半星。
