Watch Secret Sunshine Online Free Movie
Although “Secret Sunshine” may appear to cover some potentially familiar ground recently also explored in the likes of “Voice of a Murderer” and Christian prison drama “Maundy Thursday” and may sound like a sure recipe for yet another slice of gloomy melodrama, it actually turns out to be a very different proposition indeed. Of course, this should not come as much of a surprise given the pedigree of Lee’s previous works, though it’s a tribute to his skill as a storyteller that he here manages mine such an uninspiring premise into something which is wholly engrossing and intellectually challenging. This film is one where the viewer slowly gets to know and becomes involved with the characters, without ever being patronised or spoon fed clichés, and as a result they come across as being real and indeed painfully human rather than the usual kind of obvious two dimensional stereotypes. As a result, much of the film is ambiguous and open to interpretation, such as Shin Ae’s feelings towards the bullied daughter of her child’s murderer. This adds an uncommon complexity and depth to the drama which makes it all the more gripping.
Although this is in part due to Lee’s intimate, patient style, the film’s success rests largely upon the shoulders of actress Jeon Do Yeon, who features in almost every scene. Giving a wonderfully naturalistic performance, she provides the film with its emotional core and pulls the viewer along on her character’s difficult journey. Since the drama heads into some pretty bleak territory, this does make for uncomfortable viewing at times, particularly during the latter stages, and the scene in which she finally confronts the killer is one of the most devastating and powerful in recent memory, though not in the manner expected. Thankfully, although the film deals with deep despair and is profoundly moving, it is never overwrought or melodramatic, and when the tears come they are raw and painful to watch. Never offering forced resolutions or easy answers, the film is bravely non-judgemental and Lee does not shy away from the fact that people make bad choices and mistakes.
