Product Information

導演:金賢鍚
Director: Kim Hyun-seck

  二十世紀初期,朝鮮半島遭到日本的侵略,韓國處於日治的時代。而日本的棒球活動亦因此傳到韓國。就在1905年,韓國終於組成了第一隊棒球隊——「YMCA 棒球隊」。這隊球隊的組成全因為受到YMCA 經理的鼓吹。而YMCA 棒球隊組成後,在比賽中可謂連番報捷,戰無不勝。隊中的靈魂,便是教練貞潔和擊球手學勤。可是在比賽勝利的背後,球隊亦遇上不少困難,而重心人物學勤本是一名書生,現在卻要在學業和棒球間來一個抉擇……

  The story of Korea’s first baseball team is told in this stirring, historical drama set in 1905. Hochang is a scholar's son who is torn between his family duty and his love for sports. When Hochang accidentally discovers America's favorite pastime, he vows to start Korea's first baseball team. Little did Hochang expect that, as Korea prepares to abdicate its sovereignty to Japan, his team would become a national symbol of pride and joy, and a rallying cry for freedom, when the Japanese challenges them to a game.

Not US Version Customer Review Rated Bad 0 - 0 out of 10
This DVD should not be called a US Version of the movie. This particular DVD does not have english subtitles. Hell, it's not even spoken in the original Korean language, this DVD is dubbed in only Mandarin & Cantonese. For American watcher, skip this version, but don't skip this movie.

YMCA Baseball Team Customer Review Rated Bad 9 - 9 out of 10
Through Ho-chang's discovery of baseball and his love for the game, this heart-warming, delightful comedy shows glimpses of the challenges faced by Korea as an evolving nation. It was fascinating for me to see life a very traditional society and how even a quintessential American sport like baseball could pose challenges. Each of the main characters is forced to examine their own lives and grow. You have to be alert since this is sometimes expressed very subtly.

The YMCA team was open equally to all the men, but led by a young woman, Min Jungrim, who was educated abroad. Subtle comedic moments ensue as the team members had to deal with this, as well as their class differences and learning how to play baseball. Comedic moments also ensue in Ho-chang's attempt to express his growing love.

The growing influence of a militaristic Japan changed the lives of the team members and their families. In the relationships between the sons and fathers, we gain different perspectives of the sides to this conflict.

The Seoul YMCA Baseball Team meets their biggest challenge in facing a Japanese baseball team. The captain of the opposing team, Hideo, a young Japanese officer is also caught between his love of baseball and his military obligations. The climax, as in all sports movies, is, of course, THE FINAL GAME and the legacy left behind by these early players of baseball.

I saw this movie at the San Francisco Asian American Film Festival, and I have to say that this was a very entertaining movie. I think that I might buy it just to watch it again.

You have to see this movie. Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
I saw this movie when it first came out in Korea this past summer. After I saw this movie, I knew that I had to get it on DVD when it came out. This movie is very funny and entertaining. The soundtrack is really good also. (YG Family did the cover song) It is definetly worth your time and you will not be dissapointed.
