This is by no far something a person of weak heart can watch. It is by no means graphical like many other movies but yet very disturbing. It shows the sad life of Korean comfort women.
As a fellow woman this story resonates within you. Your heart goes out to the countless women who were tortured. The brutality they faced cannot be just driven away by a simple forgiveness. For me I did not feel anger to the Japanese but pity, pity that they had their lives like that. Pity as to what went through their heads to become such inhuman beings. While reading of the Nanking Massacre this turned even worse for me. It made me think what kind of retribution they would have had after this life( Being a a Buddhist karma is something I believe in but this is entirely my own thoughts). The story had a single glimmer of hope within the story in the portrayal of Danaka and I was sad how he ended too. Being a romantic I couldn't help but wish he had reunited with his family or Jungmin.
Like I said this isn't for the weak heart, I was utterly sad by the end and had a very hard time coming back from this film.
