Debra Gibbons Mar 15 2019 6:33 pm This movie is more than just about a hunter's tale. It is symbolic of humanity and our need to overcome and destroy. It makes one take greater stalk in their life and their choices and what ultimately drives them. The story is about a deep bond between the tiger and the hunter which is forged through suffering and loss on both their parts that is intertwined through out the story. The tiger and the hunter both had a life with their families and lost all they had. They understood each other. They had respect for each other. It was their destiny to die together and turn to dust in each other's arms. Truly a master piece which leaves one to have much deeper thoughts about what transpires in the movie for many days after. It should have won several awards.

momo Feb 09 2017 10:50 am Damn it, I just can't get enough watch this movie.. I don't know why I cried so much while watching this. The story is simple but very strong. Absolute Choi Min Sik is Big Actor. I respect him so much. And for the director, screenwriter, and all crews are the best!!

Juli Oct 21 2016 6:36 pm This movie was awesome. The actors were great. I cried at the end. I think everyone should watch it, the subtitles are easy to read and do not distract you from the film. The cg on the tiger was amazing. Thank you to all involved.
