Out of all the people you know, how many do you truly understand?
It's hard to put the film into words, my review probably will not justify how good the film is, however I'll give it a go.
House of hummingbird refers to our main character Eun Hee, who we follow basically every single second of the film as a hummingbird and her search to find a house she can call home.
How much time do we spend on relationships that doesn't matter, those that doesn't enhance ourselves as a person or at the very least understand the things that are unsaid. Compared that to the time we take care of ourselves or heal wounds that are barely addressed by us.
Director and Scriptwriter Kim Bo Ra is amazing, directing, lines, and shot guides viewers to understand how ridiculous the requests of the adults were, through the lenses of our main character. That's what unique and unconventional about it, focusing on a listener's perspective for most of the time, pretty much looking forward for her next project.
Though the film focuses on teen girl Eun Hee, I thought that the main issue at hand is universal. As a teen boy I can relate to never being heard or finding our places in life, that makes it wonderful.
It was a calm subtle film, though provoking and a social commentary it was never too violent or explicit. Which is honestly good because it is able to reach much younger audiences like myself. nothing extraordinary ever happens in the 140mins runtime however you cannot take your eyes off it.
One thing I love about the film is the use of symbols, things are shown figuratively and literally, with each scene having meaning and not just randomly placed.
Despite the long screentime, it never felt like it dragged on and was paced nicely. Emotions was captured nicely without using force and was tragic and sad solely through it's contents and story.
Scenes might feel unfinished, rushed, and incoherent at times but was purposely done that way to show the psychological state of Eun Hee.
It's about imperfect people including Eun Hee, trying to find their ways in life. This is not to justify such actions but some characters might seem as bad people but underneath is earnest love, just people with flaws and unable to express.
Eun Hee went through all that pain and at the end was still standing strong. How can tell yourself that something's impossible knowing that?
