Goog point:Emotional story. Bad point:Last scene is shocking. Basic plot:One old man live alone.He is very Stubborn.He and his family hate each other.One day he helped one asian boy.Then he change his mind. I think this is one of the most emotional film.I have ever seen. I'll never forget last scene. You have to watch this. I recomed you watch you alone. When you watch this film,after that probably you'll recomend this film for another person. (read more)
