How are there no comments on this fucked up movie?

Birthday is a film about a dysfunctional family struggling to come to terms with the death of their eldest son in the Sewol ferry disaster of 2014. 2 years later, Jungil has returned from Vietnam working abroad in an aluminium recycling plant. He tries to reconnect with his family having missed the disaster presumably due to being overseas working. He returns to his 8 year old daughter and his emotionally crippled wife who hates him for not being there.

The movie has the most character development for Suho, which I suppose honestly is the best way they can do this film, however there are a lot of supporting characters and scenes to establish the backstory. Jungil tries desperately to talk to his wife who shuns him every time, his daughter warns up to him and Soonnam resents it. Soho's friends share a little in their grief and all the parents of the deceased kids also gather and eat together to share in their grief. Over the course of the movie the father is demonised as the mentally unstable mother refuses to confront her grief, leading to exceedingly erratic behaviour culminating in a meltdown late one night.

There are a lot of awful screaming, ugly crying scene sin this film. And terribly poignant scenes. One of my favourites is the father dreaming about one of his few memories of his son, camping together as a family. When he awakens tears run down his face as he leaves the tent in the same place they went as a family, alone.

Hope comes when a birthday celebration is hosted to come together to talk about memories of Suho. Unfortunately this is the most drawn out and boring, horrible scene. They put together a slideshow about Suho and played almost every slide. Then they read thoughts and letters and a poem. Everyone is ugly crying and wailing and the host asks them...why they're sad? Because their son and best friend is fucking dead. That's why? Couldn't they get promoted in another way to discuss their memories?

Anyway, I did really enjoy this movie but there were also some really drawn out stressful scenes. 8/10
