Our Twisted Hero

About This Movie

Our Twisted Hero has this heavy, bittersweet vibe that lingers. The way Han Byung-tae, played convincingly, navigates his memories is really striking. The train journey sets a reflective tone, and you feel every bit of nostalgia and regret as he recalls his school days. It dives deep into themes of bullying and authority, which makes it compelling but a bit tough to watch at times. The rural setting contrasts beautifully with the urban life of Seoul, giving a nice visual atmosphere. The pacing can feel slow, but it builds an emotional weight that resonates. Park Chong-won really captures that feeling of looking back, and it’s got a raw honesty that can be rare in films.
