熔炉, Silenced (2011)

"Movie reviews are generally among my easiest articles to write but this has definitely been one of the most difficult. Why? Because Silenced was both a fabulously well-made movie and one of the most powerful and disturbing movies I’ve ever seen. I almost feel guilty saying good things about it because it’s about such a horrible topic..." Review extract from Banana Times

Young human rights lawyer shielding the child from reading the sign language of the defense lawyer - vaginal sores of the 5 years old was caused by self masturbation!

I didn't like heavy movies, like everyone else i had preferred 'happy ending' story. But go watch this show that was extremely well filmed and acted; given the weightiness of the subject.

Go watch it, and you'll be immediately transported to the reality of a dark, immoral world that's unimaginable to us living in simple, law-abiding Singapore. Get out of the well.

Go watch this movie based on a true story of abuse at a school for hearing-impaired children in Gwangju, South Korea. A movie that prompted a national outcry and the ensuing tighter laws against sex offenders in Korea.
