When Ryan and Amy Green learned that their baby son Joel's rare cancer was terminal, Ryan, an indie game developer, found solace in the only creative outlet he knew: a video game, the critically acclaimed "That Dragon, Cancer."
This weekend I watched two movies. "The Revenant" of Leonardo DiCaprio and then this one. I was going to write a review for the Revenant but I think this one is more important. I watched it last night on RTSdeux in the original language with French subtitles. I missed the first 20 minutes of the movie. When I started watching, the man was singing a song to his wife and rubbing her knee. It came to me very interesting to watch the daily life of a very old Korean couple. After million-dollar artificial Hollywood movies, this was so natural, full of romance, love, grief and dread. Their house, dresses, beds, the nature and everything was so real. I am still in doubt whether this was a documentary or a movie. Did the director know the ending before? Or did he intentionally wait for certain events to occur in order to finish his documentary? It is too bad that there is not much info about this movie on IMDb.com, not even a poster. Whatever it is, as a whole this movie is extraordinary and praiseworthy.
