Miracle on 1st Street (2007)

Great message on stick to it until you succeed, but rather sloppy direction and filming. A nice starter drama to see the beginnings of actors you already enjoy seeing (Ha Ji Won), but it lacked some authenticity and cohesion. She won? Really? Then why did they raise the arms of her opponent? She stuck through it though, and had a visit from her deceased dad, so for what she put into the fight, she received her reward. I don't think I'll view it again, because it was just so raw. Watching the children being pummeled by tomatoes was painful, as well as the child plunging to the earth, thinking he could fly. He DID fly, though. Right when there was civil unrest in his neighborhood, so that was remarkable! I'm glad I saw this one, but I doubt I'll view it again.
