One fairytale human comedy 'The perfect way to steal a dog'


What does it mean to know someone?
It means knowing the truth of him and deepening his mind. When we have such understanding, we can become a true friend of him.

The movie 'The Perfect Way to Steal a Dog' is a ten-year-old girl struggle. The reality that the young girl Ji-so has faced yet... Her father left his family, and Ji-so's family had to wander streets. Her mom 'Jung-hyun' leaves his little brother every day to Ji-so and goes to work. Meanwhile, Ji-so's birthday is coming. Ji-so wants to have a birthday party with her friends at home like everyone else on birthday. But her family have no home. It is a house if a small van that is full of junk is a house now.

Ji-so' tells her teacher that she will have a birthday party at home because of pride. She boldly decides to buy a house. Now she has to make money for the house. She worries about how to raise a large sum of money with her friend. Then she come to decide to steal the dog 'Willie'. Willie is owned by an old woman who is wealthy. She is the owner of the restaurant where Ji-so's mother works.


However, there is another person who is looking for Willie, he was her elderly nephew 'Su-young'. He finds out that her estate is inherited to Willie by looking at the will of his old lady. He wants to kidnap Willie and take it away, but at this point, Ji-so takes over Willie quickly. From this time, Ji-so and Su-young compete for Willie.

In this process, Ji-soo learns that Willie is not a simple pet dog for the old lady. She finds out the wounds and pain of the old lady and realizes her mistakes at this time.


This film is a typical human comedy that starts with a comedy but ends with an impression, but it can be regarded as a fairy tale. There are a lot of signs that they tried to make the feeling of fairy tales alive. The story of a 10-year-old girl, Ji-so, does not squeal. The director seems to have understood the nature of this story. He follows the way she see and felt. When Ji-so and the old lady understand each other, they will leave a deep impression in your hearts. I recommend you to see this movie with your children.

The story of geniuses challenging prejudice 'Hidden Figures'

People become stupid enough to be unimaginable if they become prejudiced. There is no way to save those who are in the frame of false perception. Until they realize themselves, they have another form of barbarism. They discriminate against unfair reasons, violate human rights, and do not respect others. It would be fine if the atmosphere of society does not support such barbarism, but what if there were a large number of people with such prejudices? The film 'Hidden Figures' is based on the American society of the times when there were many racial prejudices. So there are various barbaric social images. There are restrooms for colored and even coffee pots are divided between white and black. Even if they do the same, black people do not get the treatment of a white man, and promotion can not dream. This discrimination continues on buses, on the streets, and in public institutions. In this age, the three main characters, Katherine Johnson, D...

The real image of violence and barbarism in everyday life 'IT'

There was a mass assault by a middle school student in Busan recently. It was a very horrible and mean thing. It was almost impossible to believe that teenage girls who had just entered puberty did it. Where did their violence come from? Is it human innate cruelty? Or is this society making them? Either way, the fact that such violence has penetrated deep into our daily lives makes us feel frightened. The violence that the little girls committed was very close to us. And the way they treated the weak was so brutal and cruel. This incident has played a role in awakening the danger of daily violence. But people will soon forget it. America's small town, the stage of the movie 'It', is a place where such everyday violence is prevalent. The film begins one day when the rain is heavy and the boy Billy is sending out his brother George. Billy was pitiless. In the living room on the first floor, their detached mother is playing the piano...
