Miracle in Cell No. 7 (2013)

i watch movie often, so often, at least once till three times a week, yet there is no movie force me to write a review ... until i saw this movie.This movie is all about love, love of a father to his daughter, love of a bad guy to an innocent man, and also love of a lifetime from a daughter to her father.The most touching scene for me was when little Yae Seung say thanks to her father ... thank you for being a lovable father ... despite knowing that day is the last day she can saw her father ... darn ... the last time i cry was 20 years ago when i lost my cat ... never thought that this scene could break that.Some scene might need a little explanation, like how come that "boss" able to make arrangement of that little Yae Seung go to prison, but that was not the point of this movie ...Awesome character played by awesome actors & actresses , awesome plot, beautifully directed, tears flowing by those dialogues between actor & actress ...Prepare a tissue while watching ...

For me, measurement of a good cinema is, it should make you think. So, have you ever seen something so simple yet so beautiful that it changes your entire perspective about life? This is one of those movies. Seung-ryong Ryu's beautifully and brilliantly played the character of father. Everything from the story to the dialogues delivery, was just up to the mark. This movies made me thing how stupidly we make judgment's basis on mere assumptions. it has a great story, great actors and most of all a great learning experience as well. In other words it will make you think for sure. MUST WATCH!!

Rarely will you see a movie that shakes your soul to the core and this movie manages to do that. For a long time I remained adamant that I will never experience another movie as lachrymose as The Green Mile but I was wrong. My tears just would not stop. The father daughter relationship in this movie is simply beautiful, in some ways ineffable. You have got to watch this movie in order to understand how pure, innocent and affectionate their bond is. Their acting was incredible. The child in particularly was extremely convincing and deserves praise for expressing believable emotions at such a young age. Some might criticise the movie for a few illogical/unrealistic events but I can assure you that this does not diminish the greatness of this movie. What matters in this movie is character development and character interaction which are executed flawlessly. The supporting cast also do an excellent job. Hope, justice, mercy, innocence, sacrifice and affection are some of the themes that are explored in this harrowing and satisfying movie. This movie is right up there with The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile for great prison movies. Please...please do not miss this one.

This will make viewers laugh. And this will make viewers cry. Miracle in Cell No. 7 is a heartwarming tale that depicts the relationship between a 6-year old girl & her mentally challenged father who's accused & convicted for a crime he didn't commit. Awaiting the trial, he is assigned Cell no. 7 which consists of the most hardened criminals & unknowingly convinces everyone that he's a good-hearted fellow who couldn't have committed the crime he's accused of. And so, the inmates get together to help him see his daughter again by breaking her in & also start preparing him for his trial.There is a heavy amount of non-sense & annoyance in the film but there is also a lot of heart that went into its making. Some scenes, no matter how silly or childish, still are able to resonate a feeling of love & the characters look eccentric yet adorable thanks to mesmerizing performances from its cast. The film also carries a huge emotional baggage that is sugar-coated with layers after layers of superbly timed humour but is sure to leave many viewers with tears during its heartbreaking final moments.On an overall scale, Miracle in Cell No. 7 completely surprised me with its heartfelt narration, plethora of childlike but never childish moments, expert use of slapstick humour, vibrant characters & a heart-winning performances from its cast. It may not be great enough to rank amongst the best films of its genre but its soul is certainly at the right place plus it makes up for an immensely satisfying family drama that will leave most of its viewers with a smile on their face & tears in their eyes. Give it a try.
