What Ode to My Father Is About
Deok-su loses his father and his little sister during the Hungnam evacuation in 1950, and as his father goes he leaves him one instruction: you are the head of the family now. The man spends the rest of his life obeying that sentence, working in a mine in Germany, going to Vietnam, never doing anything he wanted. JK Youn tells Korea's postwar history through one life and never restrains the emotion. It was extraordinarily popular at home, selling over fourteen million tickets and standing among the biggest releases of its period. It also caused an argument, with some critics attacking it for glorifying a national narrative of sacrifice. Who it is for: viewers who like Korean melodrama and family stories told through history. Who it is not for: anyone wanting restraint, since the film plays directly for tears.
