This was the first Korean movie that I watched, I loved it so much that later I got addicted to every Korean movie and drama out there.
A Stray Goat is a depressing film about the realities on prejudice and moral conflicts in a society. The serious and gloomy atmosphere of the film was appropriate to its major theme. The characters were also powerful in delivering the hidden message of the plot. Initially, I was frustrated with the lack of information and uncertainties that the plot had to offer (ie Min-sik's background, Sang-man's innocence or guilt, and what happened to Ye-joo), but later on realized how relevant these are in immersing one's self to the morals of the story. This film goes beyond bullying; it tackles prejudice, apathy, involvement, innocence, and morals of both an individual and the society. All these in the intertwined circumstance of two teenagers.
