My small review of Samaritan Girl

Couple of years back, I watched a documentary on teenage prostitution in today’s society. I forgot the name of the documentary but it covers the many major cities across the globe. It blames girls, their parents & foremost the guys who is looking for it & technology which is making things very easy. (Cyber café & few cell phone & two people are good enough to make the thing happen.) Ok. Now coming to the movie, it is not about teenage prostitution. But this movie is about two teenage prostitutes (Jae-Young, Yeo-Jin) & a father.
Movie was divided in to two parts. Part one is about two teenage girl’s friendship. The second part is about Yeo-Jin and her father relationship. Part 1 shows both girls deep friendship & how they do the things. At the end of part 1, Jae-Young dies from after jumping from hotel room to avoid the arrest. She dies later in the hospital but this start a new beginning to the life of Yeo-Jin. She feels guilty & starts goes after all the client & start paying back. In this process, one fine day girl’s father (police detective) sees her own girl in action. Distributed & shocked & confused father follows & revenge on the clients. You will see lot of disturbing scenes. In one-case girl’s father walks in to the client home & insults & hits the client while he is eating his meal with his rest of the family with focus is on the teenage daughter. Again you will not see, sex or nudity or blood on the screen. Movie ending was is quit poignant. Movie touches many aspects i.e. morality of the society & confusion & deep emphasis on relationships. It is very difficult to make movie with this kind of subject & director (Ki-duk Kim one of the favorite director) did very good in its presentation. Definitely worth watching movie.
