Plot : Poetry is a beautiful and touching tale by Lee Chang Dong, the highly acclaimed Korean film maker. It revolves around Mija, grandmother to a morally depraved teenager, coming to terms with Alzheimer’s herself. To overcome the crippling effect of a failing memory, Mija joins poetry classes and hopes to pen one for herself, before the classes get over. Her simple and idyllic world is thrown into turmoil when she discovers that her grandson, along with five others boys, is responsible for repeatedly raping a classmate, leading to her death. The morally degenerate and male dominated society that Mija is trapped in, makes her struggle as quiet and lonely one. While the fathers of the other boys are just concerned about covering up their sons’ crimes, Mija is the only one who actually carries the burden of guilt and feels deeply for the girl, who lost her life. The movie features Mija’s struggle, as she tries to work hard at her job of taking care of an old man, in order to put together money that has to be paid to the girl’s mother as compensation. The movie ends very poignantly with Mija emerging as the only ray of hope in a decadent society.
