Sopyonje 1993 123movies

Watch: 서편제 1993 123movies, Full Movie Online – The specifically Korean tradition that is reclaimed in Sopyonje is the type of folk-song known as pansori, described as a musical sublimation of South-West Korea’s collective grief and suffering – in other words, a kind of blues. The film’s three central characters are itinerant pansori singers in the 1950s, a time when many aspects of Korean culture came under siege from Japanese and western influences. The story unfolds through flashbacks. A man named Dong-ho is roaming the rural hinterlands, ostensibly to find rare herbal medicines for his employer back in Seoul, but actually in search of Song-hwa, the woman he grew up with. Orphans, they were both apprenticed to the pansori master Yu-bong who pressured them to sacrifice everything for the art. Dong-ho rebelled and ran away, to become the man he is now. Song-hwa stayed, lost her sight, and outlived Yu-bong. Rumor has it that she is still traveling and still singing pansori… The tale has one truly shocking twist, but the overall one is plaintive, elegiac and serenely beautiful..
Plot: Dong-ho, a pansori performer, travels the country in search of Song-hwa, a fellow orphan who also studied under the same strict master.

Reviews:

Maybe the best Korean movie ever made.
I truly believe that this is the best film ever made in Korea until this date (1999). But it may be too difficult to grasp the film’s true beauty for most Westerners who are foreign to Korean “chang” which is traditional Korean folk singing.

powerful and unforgettable touch
Sopyonje brought me to my knees before a tradition that previously was unknown to me – pansori. The power, tenderness, and pain that lies in art, in life, longing, and the music was conveyed in full force and with beauty. I couldn’t directly understand the Korean words (subtitled) that were spoken or the songs that were sung, but i could feel and was in awe of the emotions especially in the second half of the movie. I can still hear the melodies, voice, and the drum.
