Take off
The next movie that I’m going to introduce to you is Take Off(국가대표). It was released at september 9th, 2009. It’s genre is
drama(comedy). The director of ‘Take Off’ is Yong-Ho Kim. He has directed
movies like ‘Mr. Go’ and “200 pounds beauty’. The main characters are Jung-U
Ha, Dong-Il Sung, Ji-suk Kim, Dong-Uk Kim and etc. The movie is made out of
real fiction that happen in Korea. It was big hit movie with 839
ten thousand audience. It is the 7th most popular movie so far.
This
movie starts at 1996 in Muju, Jeonbuk. Jeonbuk the state where I live so it was
friendly for me to watch. Muju is very cold place. And at there the first
Korean ski-jump team is formed. But the support from government is so poor. But
the government keep pushing them to form the national team of ski jump. So the
coach(Dong-il Sung) form the team. But the team is really weak. And some day
Bob(Jung-wu Ha), the ski player, come to Korea to find her real mom since he
was adopted to USA when he was very young. He met the coach accidently and join
the Korean national ski-jump team. He didn’t like Korea before because he
thought Korea gave up him. But after meeting good people and feel the love of
the motherland, he forgives his mother and country. As a result, he become
Korean citizen. All the members of the national team practice so hard and with their
hearts. With all of their efforts, they go to the World Cup. But all other countries’
players laugh at them and they get into some bad accident too. Eventually, they
fail to get good score. It wasn’t fair play. They dissapoint. But they never
give up their dream to go on Olympics and get medals. Without any storing
support from the government, they always try hard and practice hard. Later they
got powerful and got many medals.
It is really touching movie how hard it was for the national team
members to practice without any support. And also it give us time to thin about
intercountry adoption problem. Several people who had experience like
intercountry adoption, have serious problem in their life and the motherland do
have resposibility for that,
Anyway, the movie ‘Take off’
is a great movie to watch!.
Hello! Da hee~ I have seen the movie about 2 years ago. The movie, Take Off was very touching for me. I cried while the movie showed hearts and flowers. The first Korean ski-jump team's challenge was really impressive. And I feel something about challenging and a spirit of self-sacrifice for colleague. I am very proud that the first Korean ski-jump team achieved surprise consequence despite bad condition for ski-jump in Korea. Da hee, the word size in this your post is pretty small so it is hard to read your post well. Please fix it:) Have a good day!!

답글삭제Hi Da hee~ I'm Haeun! This movie is one of my favorite movie. As soon as film released I saw a movie in a theater with my friend.
답글삭제I cried all through the movie because The movie was so impressed. After watching the movie, I know that the harsh environment of the Korea ski jump team and how much effort is needed and could be realized. After reading your post, I can retrieve my memory. Thanks.
Hello Da hee! I'm Hyejin! After I watched this movie, I cried a lot. This movie is so moving. I didn't know what ski jump is and whether Korean national ski-jumper exist or not. This movie makes many peole to know ski-jump either am i :)! I want to see this movie again Thanks!
답글삭제This movie sounds interesting. Sports story movies like this usually get a good audience of sports fans, but only the good movies get an audience of every type of people.
답글삭제I think it's interesting that they talked about adoption. One reason Americans adopt Korean orphans is because Korean people do not adopt them. Many Korean friends tell me they only want a blood child, not an adopted child. Americans feel sad for the orphans in Korea when no Korean person will adopt them, so they adopt them instead. What do you think about this situation?
