The Crescent Moon

YesAsia Editorial Description

Veteran filmmaker Jang Kil Soo, the writer and director behind such films as 1998's Paradise Lost and 1991's Silver Stallion brings this touching tale of two siblings to the silver screen. Co-produced by Cinema System, Shincine, and Cinepark, The Crescent Moon made its debut at the Montreal World Film Festival in 2003 before being given a limited release two years later. Now with this DVD version, this poignant, emotionally-charged film can finally reach a wider audience.

The Crescent Moon centers on a young boy named Nan Na, who lives alone with his grandmother (Kang Boo Ja) in a sleepy seaside community. At the age of four, Nan Na gets a shock when his grandmother introduces him to his baby sister, Ok-I (Han Ye Rin). Resentful of her presence, he has a tough time adapting to his sudden role as big brother. As she grows older, Ok-I is revealed to suffer from a physical deformity: a hump on her back. If that weren't enough, the family soon undergoes severe hardships when the grandmother is hurt and can no longer provide for her two grandchildren.

The two siblings migrate to the big city with their uncle in the hopes of improving their situation, but it turns out that even more difficulties await them at their new destination. Eventually, Nan Na adjusts to his guardian-like role towards Ok-I, but a shocking discovery about her origins will impel him to make a fateful decision that will change everything. To remedy his mistake, Nan Na embarks on a personal quest, but it is journey that will have bittersweet results for everyone involved...

Featuring appearances by popular TV actress Jang Seo Hee (Ghost House), Ki Joo Bong (Crying Fist), Yang Mi Kyung (Dae Jang Geum), Kim Il Woo, and Lee Sang Hyun, Crescent Moon is a stirring, heartwrenching motion picture that viewers won't soon forget!

나는 병신 동생 옥이가 싫습니다!

바닷가 외딴 마을.
할머니와 단 둘이 살던 개구쟁이 ‘난나’는 네 살 되던 해 갑자기 생긴 동생 ‘옥이’ 때문에 골치가 아프다. 매일 갯벌에 나가 일하시는 할머니 대신, 옥이를 돌보는 건 모두 난나 차지. 친구들과 전쟁놀이도 못하고 매일 포대기를 끼고 살게 된 난나는 말 못하는 옥이가 밉기만 하고. 게다가 어느 날부터인가 영양실조로 옥이의 등이 점점 굽어 가자, 난나는 병신 동생 옥이가 창피해 자기 주변에는 얼씬도 못하게 한다. 하지만 옥이는 오빠를 위해 찔레꽃 도시락을 준비할 정도로 오빠를 세상에서 제일 좋아한다.

그렇게 싫던 옥이였는데 자꾸만 눈에 밟힙니다…

할머니가 허리를 다쳐 더 이상 생활이 어렵게 되자 난나 네는 삼촌을 따라 도시로 이사를 가게 된다. 하지만, 할머니의 돈을 날려버린 삼촌의 실수로 모두가 함께 살기 힘들게 되고, 할 수 없이 옥이를 이모할머니 댁에 맡긴다. 그토록 귀찮던 옥이와 드디어 헤어졌지만, 어쩐지 난나는 옥이가 그리워진다.
아픈 할머니를 대신해 신문배달을 하며 제법 의젓해진 난나.
어느 날, 꿈속에서도 그리워하던 엄마가 시청 앞 호텔지하에서 제일 큰 빵집을 한다는 삼촌의 말을 듣고 서울로 찾아간다. 그리고 틈만 나면 찾아가 엄마를 몰래 훔쳐보며 눈시울을 적신다.
어느덧 할머니도 건강을 되찾아 노점상을 하게 되고, 다시 옥이와 함께 살 수 있게 되어 기쁘기만 한데…

천사를 꿈꾸는 아이들의 슬픈 동화

우연히 할머니로부터 옥이가 씨 다른 동생이라는 사실을 듣게 된 난나는 다시 옥이가 미워진다. 싫다는 옥이를 강제로 끌고 엄마의 빵집에 밀어 넣고 도망오지만, 얼마 후 진짜 엄마가 아니라 삼촌의 추측이었다는 청천벽력 같은 말을 듣게 된다. 난나는 곧장 제과점을 찾아가지만 이미 옥이는 시립아동 보호소로 보내진 후였다.

천사를 꿈꾸는 아이들에게 세상살이는 갈수록 힘들기만 한데…

Save your money Customer Review Rated Bad 1 - 1 out of 10
This was a total waste of time and money. Various characters were introduced who could have been developed to save this family/story but nothing was developed and characters were introduced only to disappear. The story had no climax, no highpoint, no nothing. Then it ended. Terrible!!!!!!!!!
