The Way Home

I had a good cry tonight while watching this Korean movie 'The Way Home". The grandmother's character in the movie is quite similar with Tok. It make me miss Tok so much. What made me cry actually is the fact that I never have the chance to say goodbye. She passed away when I was in Kuching and I only knew about her death a couple of month after that. After her death, balik kampung is never the same.

I miss her warm kisses and hugs every time we balik kampung. I miss her tepuk2 when I slept. I miss the pulut inti she always brought back from the market. I miss her soft voice when she try to pujuk me after I got scolded by Abah or Mak. I miss everything about her...

Did any of you manage to catch this movie last nite @ NTV7?? If you miss it, you can go here to download.


Here is a synopsis of the movie.

This is the story of a spoiled 7-year-old city boy, Sang-woo (Yoo Seung-ho), and his mute grandmother (Kim Eul-boon), who has spent her whole life in a small rural village. Forced to stay with his grandmother while his mother (Dong-Hyo-hee) looks for work, Sang-woo learns about the ups and downs of life.

Being a city brat, he's used to the benefits and luxuries of Seoul. When he realizes that there are no batteries for his toys, only rocks to play with, he torments his grandmother - whining and demanding things she can't provide, but she never reprimands him for his behavior. Instead she gives him unconditional love and he gradually learns how to appreciate the simple pleasures of living.
