  • Korean Boxing Movie: Crying Fist

    Yeah, I'm korean. I stumbled across this movie while browsing for something to watch. It was really interesting and fun in my opinion. The boxing scenes aren't all that great, it's more about the story.

    Movie: http://www.crunchyroll.com/showseries?id=5029

    There's 6 parts.

    Here's the background of the story:

    Writer/director Ryoo Seung Wan (Arahan) helms the box-office smash Crying Fist, a winning film that centres on two downtrodden men who look to the sport of boxing as a chance to turn their lives around!

    In one corner, there's Yu Sang Hwan (Ryoo Seung Bum), a teenage delinquent whose criminal activities finally land him in juvenile hall. While there, Sang Hwan meets a guard who introduces him to the world of boxing, seeing it as an outlet for the young man's anger and disillusionment.

    In the other corner, there's Kang Tae Shik (Choi Min Sik), an over-the-hill family man whose marriage is falling apart thanks to some severe financial problems. Once a silver medalist in boxing, Tae Shik returns to the sport to gain additional income, but in a far less heralded way - he walks the streets, offering himself up as a human punching bag for money to anyone who passes by!
    You have to register to crunchyroll.com first before viewing the movie.

    BTW: The movie contains a lot of profanity and some nudity and what not, so don't view it with your children unless you don't mind exposing them to that kind of stuff.
