The Korean film “A Taxi Driver” is a classic that won the Grand Prize at Cannes in 2016. It is also the last Korean film to win this prize, which may explain its rareness to Western audiences. Meanwhile, it has been rediscovering success in both Korea and America, where its winning performances have made it one of the highest grossing films of all time. And although this movie has yet to be released with an English subtitle download on Netflix, there are plenty of other sites offering subtitles for free. The movie is based on the true story of Kim Sa-bom, a.k.a. “Taxi Driver Kim,” who helped rescue over 500 people during the Gwangju Uprising in May 1980. The story was originally told in a book written by Seo Yeong-min, “The Man Who Sold His Heart to Seoul,” which was published in 2011, three years before the film adaptation hit theaters. Although it may seem like the movie is ripping off its source material, Seo has admitted that this story was not something he had made up for his novel but rather an account he discovered when he was doing research on the Gwangju Uprising. This story has become quite popular in Korea, and the book was even translated into English to give it worldwide appeal. Both “A Taxi Driver” and “The Man Who Sold His Heart to Seoul” focus on Kim Sa-bom, a cab driver who spends his free time flirting with women and wasting his money at the races. It is not until he sees the Gwangju Uprising take place that Kim realizes that he can be an asset in South Korea’s fight for democracy. He becomes a fearless warrior who risks everything to assist the people of Gwangju, and it is through this film that we get to see how one man can make such a difference in history. Although “A Taxi Driver” is pretty old, the story rings true to the modern struggles of South Korea. This film tells a story that may seem familiar, but one that we should never take for granted. While South Korea continues to struggle to become a democratic country, this movie reminds us of how one man can make such a difference in history. The Korean movie about Gwangju Massacre is a modern classic. It's a simple morality tale about a taxi driver who risks everything for the people in Gwangju in May 1980 when dictator Chun Doo Hwan crushed their anti-government uprising. It tells the true story of Kim Sa-bom, who became a hero in Gwangju. He ended up saving many civilians, including wounded soldiers and far rightists, at great risk to himself. Directed by Jang Hoon, the movie is about three hours long and stars Yoo Ah-in. It won the Grand Prix at Cannes Film Festival in 2016. It was voted best Korean film of all time by 20 Korean critics in 2017. It established Yoo's reputation as one of Korea's leading actors. The movie was not widely seen in America until it appeared free on Netflix in winter 2018. However, there are versions subtitled in English available on some DVD sites on the Internet. cfa1e77820
