I kept hoping for the girls sake that their mom would come home to them. This was a moving story and I appreciated the story it told very much. Watched this through Netflix and really enjoyed it.

One think that really has me excited is that the trailer has the song "Layers" by one of my favorite bands, Asobi Seksu. Hopefully they have more of their songs throughout the film. Indie films with good soundtracks generally turn out to be good movies. Oooh FYI check out the trailer at : http://displacedbrett.wordpress.com/2009/04/23/asobi-seksu-in-treeless-mountains-trailer/ My girlfriend has been bugging me to see this movie, so I think I’ll be seeing it soon.

Just to clarify, Big Aunt does not send Bin to "beg for salt" because she is a cold woman but rather because she believes Bin has wet her bed. It is an old Korean tradition (not practiced anymore except in rural communities) that the child who wets the bed is sent to the neighbors to ask for salt, wearing a rice sifter on his/her head. Cute. Loved the film.

Now far ahead the road has gone and I must follow if I can. Pursuing it with weary feet until it joins some larger way, where many paths and errands meet -and whither then, I cannot say." (J.R.R. Tolkien) - thanks for the share... This made me think of the familiar quote: “The road goes ever on and on down fromthe door where it began.

Watched the movie at the TIFF with no expectancies and was pleasantly moved by the realism and the attention to delivering the movie to cater to the audiences full senses. It was a complete experience of a life from the child's perspective. In an age where movies have been reduced to synthesized performances masked with special effects and cheesy music to artificially move our emotions, Treeless Mountain was indeed an organic and pure experience that keeps you genuinely concerned about was happens to these girls throughout the movie. I wish more movie makers have courage to let performances dictate the movie's quality and class. Very moving film.
