“Michael” and the Tension of Lacking Tension
It is not hard to make a musical biopic that pleases audiences and draws a profit. Michael is no exception.

Mi-jin used to be a tutor in Chae-yeong's high school. Though their private lessons are the best, Chae-yeong needs more tutoring. Jae-min, Chae-yeong's indecisive boyfriend tries to have various experiences with women, and so he also arranged a meeting with Mi-jin. Jae-min who is young and not as skilled, is not good enough for Mi-jin. Contrary to her mother's wish to marry her instead of getting a job, Chae-yeong feels differently and instead, enjoys her life. Teacher Mi-jin makes way for an event to Chae-yeong. When Mi-jin asks Chae-yeong for a different kind of thrill, Chae-yeong makes a secret proposal to Mi-jin. She spent the night in a club with Min-woo, an older man who was dating her. Now the desires of the two women are getting out of control…

"Be good. It doesn’t mean you can’t be tough. It doesn’t mean you always have to be nice. Just be good."
Han's turn to villainy in 'Frozen' was foreshadowed cleverly in the story.
Given a choice between a man and a mountain, it’s safer to choose the mountain.
What seems like such a simple story of survival is so much more than that—it’s a story of family, and of war, and of destruction. It’s painful to watch, but not in a bad way. It makes its audience reflect on their own actions, and in how they are complicit in the sufferings of others as the adults in this film are. Grave of the Fireflies does not hold back from being heartbreaking, and it shouldn’t. It tells a message that needs to be heard decades after the war, and a story that cannot be forgotten by history.
