This is mostly the “stereotype” effect to children whose parents or parent get imprisoned. What I like about the movie is that Yong-Gu’s cellmates help him with smuggling his daughter inside even though it’s bad. What touched and me cry is the part during her birthday celebration and that it was also the day Yong-Gu, her father would be sentenced to death, instead of them being happy. She even finally got the Sailormoon bag she wanted. When the police already took her father away it so hard for them to part and they even kept on saying goodbye to each other. Later on while watching, we find out the chief in the prison where her father was held found out that the daughter of the commissioner died not because of murder. He investigated because he knows that Yong-Gu is really a nice and sincere man after he saved him during a fire in prison.
The cause is she slipped on ice and she wasn’t able to support herself because of the bag. Which is why she broke the back of her head that ironically caused her death. The reason she has a scar on her forehead is because of a brick fell on her. Also as it turns out Yong-Gu was giving CPR to her and unzipped her pants to give her more circulation of blood, as what he has learned. But during the court session the lawyer assigned didn’t do anything at all. Though at the end they finally see that Yong-Gu was indeed an innocent man. The court especially the commissioner really took advantage of Yong-Gu’s disability. I think he was just looking for someone to blame too.
The government should really investigate more on a person’s behavior too along with the case rather than just assuming and just going straight to the point. But it is really hard especially of you don’t have any money and the person you are up against has money and even has many connections. They also shouldn’t just judge a person right away. We also need more policemen like the chief in the movie. Not just the people in the government who are corrupt even the people who will give us justice too are. They are corrupt because they are blinded by money and are scared of the people above them. But all governments are corrupt but at least the others still do something to help the people but it is only in the Philippines who don’t do anything to help the people.
