Classic Movie Night: The Ball Shot By A Midget May 15, 2008

“Violence is not just bullets, nightsticks and fists,” says one character in Lee Won-se's screen adaptation of Jo Se-hee's best-selling novel. Living a hand-to-mouth existence in the ironically named neighborhood of Haengbok-dong (happy town), Kim Bul-yi's family struggles with social acceptance, poverty and lost dreams. The film's exploration of one family's struggle to earn their daily bread illustrates Leo Tolstoy's immortal observation that "happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way."
