No dream is too small or big
This review will be my thoughts during the movie in order:
1. PSJ! How long has it been since I saw him! How amazing it feels that he's back!
2. IU! Quirky and no-nonsense. Her role felt smaller but IU gives the character its own life and personality through her incredible acting.
3. The backgrounds of all the characters are duly established without interrupting the flow of the story.
4. There are good laughs as well through the team's bickering. Their bond and brotherhood is well portrayed. When they all come together to help Yoon Hong Dae, it's a laugh riot. "Why are you telling that to my thing?" I had to pause and laugh at that.
5. However, the plot feels quite formulaic, the narration is routine and the characterisation of the two mains lacks more depth.
6. But that's just a little downside. The film achieves all its objectives: 1. It makes a statement about the homeless and addresses the main argument against them- the smell and their untidyness. 2. This is the second PSJ outing to have a queer character (if I'm not wrong). There's not as much focus on him but what's important here is the others' reaction to the character's confession.
7. Thirdly, it defines a dream and justifies the title. The climax is very satisfying. The single most original plot point of the story and it is delivered with a resounding goal.
8. I think if we look closer, it also speaks of how we are all ultimately made and broken by fellow humans.
9. The film can be rewatched, if one can bear with the customary screenplay. The music is good and hummable.
A dream is any hope we foster to go on with our days. It could be of a daughter wanting to spend time with her father, a father repenting his past, an athlete tiding through the tough times of his life, a companionship between an unlikely pair or a young man's desperate search for a friend. No dream is too big or small.
This is not a story of underdogs beating the table-toppers to clinch glory. This is a celebration of normal humans, their ordinary dreams and their extrordinary perseverence. That is its beauty.
