How accurate, I can't really say, but the prevalence it has in this movie is not to be taken lightly. To offset this, we have Gilson, who is lively and rambunctious enough to weigh up for this, and his shenanigans bring much of the life and energy this movie has, as drama heavy as it is.Īs an observation, this movie seems to feature rather heavily on the topic of Buddhism. If I would have one complaint, then that would be that the movie tend to throw around sad moments a little bit too frequently, so you better get used to the sound of Gami crying. corny, sure, but thankfully the movie doesn't really cross any borders in that regard. The visuals don't stop there, though, as we're taken on a tour de force throughout various locations - from the seaside areas to the temple ground where the monks adopting the two children stays and later to a mountainside temple where the movie got its name, which, incidentally, is apparently based on an old Korean legend about a place where wishes come true.
Having lost their home, they've also been struck with another cruel twist of fate when Gami loses her eyesight the very same day they lose their mother. Starting out at a Korean countryside, the movie wows you with lush art and coloring, coupled with computer graphics being put to good use to visualize various weather or seasonal conditions as we're taken directly into the life of Gilson and Gami, two orphans trying to get by out in the wild.
While Korean animation in general doesn't have the same history or past as Japanese animation, Oseam easily shows us the sheer potential this country have in producing excellent features.Ĭompared to White Heart Baekgu - an excellent piece of animation in itself - it's easy to see that the production values are top notch. Oseam is a fairly new movie from a fairly new phenomenon animation from Korea. From the director Sung Baek-yeop, whose earlier work I beheld in White Heart Baekgu, comes another animated piece.
