Audience Member This movie that I'm going to review about is a Korean independent film which is called Spirits' Homecoming. This movie is about Japanese Military sexual slavery (known as 'comfort women'). Spirits' Homecoming has better film elements than other independent films that people think, but in some parts are unsatisfactory in directing and storytelling. I had so much fun watching the movie when I see only cinematic elements such as video, music, and directing. But, of course, there are sad reality histories, still ongoing issues, and some various political issues between South Korea and Japan, so it could be very tough movie. The Majority of Koreans know that it have taken over 14 years to make it as a movie. This movie is not focused on accusing Japanese military, it is a movie to comfort the slaveries'. The story was so short what actual testimonies of Japanese Military sexual slaveries said. But I am glad that this movie showed up at Cinemark because more people can watch this movie and know their minds so audience can feel what they felt at that time together at least. Also I think the biggest part of movie is some background musics. The background musics are Korean traditional musics but when these song added into movie, it sounds like they wanted to go back home and to family. I really loved the songs, you definitely feel it if you watch it, even though you cannot understand lyrics. I was able to avoid boredom in those elements by communicating past and reality of them for delivering their hearts. Unfortunately there were some unnecessary scenes. One of them was that we had to move on quickly and holding on for a long time. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member The song , Gashiri,.. too sad to listen. Movie itself is quite calm and quiet. however, at the same time cruel and brutal. The sotry is just enumerate the fact. It is a sort of documentary like non fiction from the history. 14 yrs old little girls... to survive, they had to be craz. if not, they could not live in those hells with mosters with human masks. I was too sad and felt miserable when I saw the little girl as a sex slave who met her brother at the place. Who can not be insane? As a movie, I cannot give high rate, but as a history to know, it is a MUST to watch, 5 stars rate. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews
