In July 2012, the Gwangju District Court sentenced the 63-year-old former administrator of Gwangju Inhwa School to 12 years in prison for sexually assaulting an 18-year-old student in April 2005. He was also charged with physically abusing another 17-year-old student who had witnessed the crime (the victim reportedly attempted to commit suicide afterward). The administrator, only identified by his surname Kim, was also ordered to wear an electronic anklet for 10 years following his release.[12]
I read on wiki how they ropen this case and changed child abuse laws. I knew or felt that watching this movie that this movie was so powerful and the fact it got things straighten up better in Korea is no shock. love the review, thanks for giving me place to vent.
I read an article from the NY times that within a week of this movie being released the President of South Korea was inundated by million of South Koreans who were furious and that within a month of this movie laws were passed in legislative body of government dealing with issues raised by this movie. Isn't it amazing how one movie galavnized so many. But the sad thing is that no matter how many laws r passed it really about people. Because if people turn a blind eye. What changes?
I just finished this movie and this move is very powerful the movie had me so angry,scared,happy,mortified,and sad rarely do movies give me all those emotions. The movie can be so brutal at times it was hard to watch. i agree so much of how this echoed pen state. Makes me think the people who supported people who abuse kids are just ignorant and need to be shown this movie. i love Korean movies every genre they seem to have my favorite movie at least the last 10 years for me
I wish the student body at Penn State would see this movie. Personally I think when people hear about abuse its a concept, a terrible concept but we can't truly grasp what it means. After watching this movie people understand what abuse means. Now there is an image and a face to abuse, and when that happens the reaction to the word abuse is much more visceral. I bet if the Penn State people had seen this movie before meeting about Sandusky the whole thing would have been different.
My siblings watched it they're all younger than 15. They all cried and they all had the same reactions. It's a hard movie to watch but I think it's a great movie to show younger viewers of the injustices in the world. It's a great movie and one of my favorite movies.
Wow, we didn't know that! This movie is definitely unforgettable and has an extremely moving message. We really hope that this exposure can make a positive difference in social and political circles!!
I agree with what these girls were saying about its not something normally you'd want to rewatch- but keep in mind that if you do end up watching it, you see new things each time and feel something d ifferent come to life inside you
This review really helped me. My mom's friend recommended me this movie but said i should wait till im a little more older or at least get permission to watch it. After i read many reviews i think i should wait. >< I get sooo emotional watching movies i might just break watching this one.
We felt the same way!! This movie really made us confront the issues head on. It was really unique in that way. Thank you for your comments and for watching our review :)
I am not sure what is available in your country, but I would search both names of the movie Silenced/The Crucible. Dramacrazy might have it, and if they don't have it now they will get it soon!
You can also watch it here on youtube :) Silenced full movie eng sub ^ that you need to search on youtube, or if you don't need eng subs, then you should just , write it without, but also that :)
That movie is mad intense! FYI for you ladies the movie is rated 18+ in South Korea, R18+ in Japan and Category 3 in Hong Kong so basically adults only all around lol
I still can't watch this movie... based on the reviews and friends' reactions, I'm still waiting to have the courage to watch this movie. Any child abuse movies affects me so much so maybe one day if I can find someone to watch it with me, I'm not going to watch it.
Dramacrazydotnet is shut down forever, I watched it on Hulu but as I was looking I saw that it can be watched on Dailymotion too. Good luck and brace yourself-no matter how strong a stomach you have.
the theme is so similar to the movie The girl next door. so sad an angry because this happens all over the world and these monster are loose and or let off easily.
This movie....just...its something that weighs heavy on my mind. I honestly ...i have no idea what to do. Crimes like these really works me up and want to slaughter all the sex offenders and anyone who does such sick things. But i cant... this movie left me helpless. It was an amazing movie OUTSTANDING acting and superb characters that truly made you care for them. This really opened my eyes to how terrible and disgusting this world is capable of.
Hi, can you tell me where i can watch the silenced video online? Gosh I've been looking for this movie for about 3 months and i can't find it :( Thank you in advance :)
Please do respond with the movie links. I'm not a citizen of The US so not all sites are permitted for me, kindly keep that in mind. I've been searching everywhere but alas. Oh do help. Desperate Gong Yoo fan :)
