I always look for movies and books that are provocative to my sense of compassion, and this movie fulfills this in a unique way. It is "other-worldly" in that it is appears culturally un-American, but is very unifying to probably anyone, anywhere on the planet. Mingles and contrasts the self-centeredness of a very young boy in modern times with his urges for modern indulgences, and the self-sacrifice of a his generations-removed caregiver--his long-suffering grandmother. Heart rending and evocative, it put me in a place of "walking a mile in (this woman's) shoes" very effectively, a condition we should all not be averse to, provided it is only temporary! REALLY makes one think about what is NOT temporary, for so many across the globe.

The Way Home is about a boy who was left to spent the summer with his Grandmother in the country side in Korea. This Movie exceptionally shows the life, culture and customs in Korea. I have always been fasinated by other cultures and this Movie is a great window of understaning to Korean life. This is why I decided to buy the DVDS, unfortunatly I have not recieved the DVD till today!
