If You Were Me – Korean Movie – English DVD
Commissioned by South Korea’s National Human Rights Commission, If You Were Me is an innovative omnibus film project to promote tolerance and human rights and shed light on the hardships disadvantaged people face in Korea. After the success of the first anthology, a second series, If You Were Me 2, was released this year. Five notable Korean directors – Park Kyung Hee (A Smile), Ryoo Seung Wan (Crying Fist), Jung Ji Woo, Jang Jin (Guns & Talks), and Kim Dong Won – participated in the second installment, creating shorts on human rights issues of their choosing.
For those who missed the original collection, this limited edition release includes both the first and second If You Were Me anthologies. In addition, it comes with many bonus featurettes including making of, interviews, and preview.
# “Seaside Flower” (dir. Park Kyung Hee)
Eun Hye (Jeong Eun Hye) is a young girl with Down’s syndrome being raised by a struggling single mother (Seo Ju Hee). Teased and ostracized by other kids her age, Eun Hye finds friendship with an elderly woman and an imaginary playmate. The young actress portraying Eun Hye suffers from Down syndrome in real life, bringing greater poignancy to this simple, touching short.
# “Hey, Men” (dir. Ryoo Seung Wan)
A comic look at society’s many prejudices, this hilarious short chronicles one tipsy salaryman’s (Kim Su Yeon, Crying Fist) late night dining experience. As the man reveals his many biases against intellectuals, gays, and women, he loses his dinner and restaurant companions. He who hates, eats alone.
# “A Boy with the Knapsack” (dir. Jung Ji Woo)
Shot in black and white, this solemn short follows a group of North Korean refugees living in South Korea. Sparing in dialogue and rich in images, Jung paints a thousand words with this realistic, moving portrait of an overlooked people.
# “Someone Grateful” (dir. Jang Jin)
Jang Jin takes a satiric stab at a sensitive subject. In highlighting the discrimination against contract workers in Korea, he also portrays well-known scenes about police torture of student activists in the 1980s. Only this time Jang wittily focuses on the human rights of the police officers.
# “Jongno, Winter” (dir. Kim Dong Won)
On December 9, 2003, Korean-Chinese Kim Won Sub froze to death in the streets of Seoul while waiting for his unpaid wages. Kim Dong Won bases his documentary short around this tragedy, exploring the struggles of Korean-Chinese immigrants. He interviews Korean-Chinese living illegally in the country and poses questions about the status and treatment of immigrants and migrant workers.
