Unbelievably patriotic historical setting
Extremely good screenplay that covers the whole background story of the political situation within sports, plot is rich enough to highlight the hardships of getting into the marathon competition itself, pacing is smooth throughout the movie and the details are so precise that you could really feel the significant amount of pressure along with the journey of the team, more so for its patriotic reason. The buildup for the marathon race has amazing suspense with soundtrack that's thumpingly brilliant, and I've cried so many times watching it. The production value is simply too high for this movie.Was this review helpful to you?
I’m happy. I’m Runner.
Cukup nyesel karena ga kesampaian nonton di bioskop. Jadi bayangin betapa kerennya scoring dan soundtrack yang penuh emosional menggema di sana. Wajib menang best score/music sih atau minimal masuk nominasi.Salut sama akting ketiga main role, ada Ha Jung Woo, Im Siwan, dan Bae Seong Woo. Mereka bertiga sukses menciptakan kemistri yang ngena bagi penonton, terkhusus gua. Beberapa scene juga menarik perhatian, seperti scene ketika kakinya Yunbok yang bergetar karena kelelahan terlihat sangat realistis dan karakter ini diperankan dengan totalitas oleh Siwan. Selain itu, alurnya dikemas dengan baik dan sederhana namun tetap menyentuh hati.
Ini film biografi yang bakal memotivasi lu buat lari sih wkwk. Asli deh selama scene maraton dimulai bener-bener nonton dengan hikmat.

What is Korea?
Can I use spoilers for a review of a true story? I will try not to because I saw the movie in complete ignorance and i was 100% engaged in the story thankful that i didn't know what will happen next. That made the viewing of the movie much better. After watching the movie i checked some facts and it turns out that the movie is very faithful to the true events.This is a sports drama at its best. There are many inspirational stories but this is one of the best I saw. It shows a sporting spirit and also a Korean spirit, so in t he end, this is very patriotic movie. At the time when Korea was not even recognized in the world, a few individuals were fighting for Korean pride with sport. That shows that sport is not only a virtue in itself but it is also a means to connect people and a great ambassador in the world.
PS. I am also from a small country but every time i visited Korea people connected me with the famous athletes from my country. Well i should learn more about Korean athletes also. So thank you movie for teaching me a valuable lesson and showing me once again what is Korea.

The feeling of winning for the country
Based on a real story, Boston 1947 follows the inspiring journey of Korean athletes who proudly wore the Taeguk symbol for the first time in an international marathon since Korea’s liberation and brought home the prestigious medal with them.The movie tells a great story in a somewhat old-fashioned or even tacky way. It presents the real events of the 1947 Boston International Marathon using 2004 filmmaking techniques. The one who breathes life into the film is Yim Si Wan, who plays the role of Suh Yun Bok. He adds his own momentum to the character and propels the story forward. The highlight of this movie is the latter part of the marathon race. The film captures the vividness of the scene and makes the viewer feel like they are right there. It also accurately represents the distinctive characteristics of a marathon race, where athletes depend entirely on their physical abilities without the help of any specialized equipment.
My Rating : 7.5/10
