If you've read the manga you might be a little disappointed with this theatrical version. If you haven't read the manga (or read it and want to watch this anyway) then you definitely should watch it. The romance is so beautiful and their struggles are so difficult that you can't help but scream at them.
The acting is absolutely incredible, the story is heart wrenching, and above all the story is believable.
If you're not sure if this movie is for you watch the first 10 minutes. By the time the 10 minute mark rolls by I think you will realize how touching this movie will be. :)

Pretty original storyline but it wasn't carried out very well. I only liked the last scenes. Where everything was uncovered. The usual Asian horror things. It was predictable (If you're an Asian horror fan.) I certainly wouldn't watch this again. I feel so sorry for the kid *sigh* but its an OK movie.

I though this would be similar to the move 'My Girlfriend is An Agent' but it turned out even more entertaining, to me at least. The storyline is interesting and the acting was really good! Some scenes surprised me because I expected something else to happen but it was a good sort of surprise, I hate it when a movie is predictable ;p

The two main actors will be added to my fav. list.

I am speechless. I can't even express how I feel. This whole movie was a mind game, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. So many events, so many lives, but one purpose. I wish to write something as dark and meaningful like this someday.

I doubted that I would like this movie at first. The dialogue in the first scene was long. But I came to understand it was important. I don't regret the stubbornness I had to sit through that particular scene. Then came the confessions. Just...wow! What a brilliant scheme! This was a really clever one.

The music was very good and it achieved the desired effect. Even added an artistic tinge.

The characters were very well portrayed. I even sympathized with the worst of them (psycho kid). Had a conflicting sense of hating the things he did and feeling sorry for his situation.

I hold great admiration to the writer of this movie. Thank you, this actually had everything I ever wanted to see in a movie. It leaves a deep impression that I won't be able to shake off anytime soon.

just a quick rage review... (this is for those who have watched the two former versions of GOTFF)

i will make a more believable review soon..

1. from my ultra POV, this is an uber lame attempt to capture or remake the intensity of the story that showed by the ghibli movie.

2. very pathetic movie... the actors doesnt make an effort in doing their best and they looks like they are just reciting the script.

3. the tv special of GOTFF is more movie like than this film

4. Im sorry for those who gave this version a 10/10...

5. feel free to object and i think i will get "not helpful"

ps: my favorite scene in the original were borifying epicfailness on this.

This movie sheds light on the events that took place in the cold war. Things we would refuse to admit. The moment when children are left behind and people only care about themselves. This one will make you cry for hours on end. It is the beautiful story of dedication of a brother to his young sister, even after everyone turned their back on them in their time of need.

This one is a true masterpiece. The sheer love the main character harbors for his country is just beautiful! The patriotism and the amazing martial art will keep you attached to your computer screen. I watched this movie more than once with the next one and will continue to do so. The story never gets old. I LOVED IT. I can't even put it into words. Let me just say that if you missed this one, then you have missed out on one of the BEST Asian movies ever.

Honestly, this is one of those movies you watch but it doesn't really leave a lasting effect on you. The storyline is beautiful, yet it is predictable and overused in many movies. It still tries to provide a fresh aspect. The movie isn't impressive really, but I found it entertaining. Near the end some events will seem to come out of the blue, like an afterthought the screen writers added for extra emotional turmoil. It still shows that love can overcome. Really touching.

1 liter of tears is an understatement to the amount I lost during this drama. The storyline will leave you in depression for a long while. Family values are engraved into your mind after watching this, even performing the simplest tasks will make you grateful for your health. The acting was beautiful. I don't have the heart to watch this again but it is worth watching once.

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. It cheered me up with its HILARIOUS scenes. I absolutely loved the acting from the main characters. I will definitely watch it again just to have some good laughs. The storyline was very good. It made me laugh right from the start! It was the first movie in which I saw Kang Ji Hwan act, now he is on my favorite list. That says something XD

The only reason I watched Battle Royale was because I read the book The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins and after a bit of research I found it was very similar to the Battle Royale novel. The movie was very rushed into plain gore. It is the typical count down movie where characters go down one after the other, but in this one they go down in groups. It is an old one though so I will give credit to the bluntness and the originality of the storyline. It does bring controversy. I do wish for a remake though.

I sat through this movie a few years back. All I know is that it did not leave much of an impact on me. I don't remember anything except the ending. And even that comes back to me in a blur. The story line was cliche, very predictable and the acting was good. If you are in the mood for some tears then this is the movie for you.

The events were laid out in a steady pace. It seemed very realistic, and after I read about the original story behind this movie (Its based on real events) I just crumbled into tears. Makes you truly appreciate the parents you have.
The acting was impressive, the characters were mainly children but they sure know how to act! It was a rare find for me. A movie like this will shock you. Never knew such things happened.

Came across the title of this movie somewhere, can't remember now it was a really long time ago, and a group were discussing the storyline. It is a popular Korean movie. Well, it sure got my attention with its twisted, yet fascinating, turn of events. You will have to watch it to know what I'm talking about. The storyline is bizarre, just the idea is actually pretty original. At the beginning the viewer is pretty much hanging by a thread, on the verge of bursting out of his/her demand what was the reason that got all those unfortunate things inflicted on the main character. At moments I felt overcome with the information that was slowly unrevealed. So twisted, I can't get it out of my mind no matter how hard I try. There is a good reason this movie is so well-known. It earned it.
