From Beginning to End (A Summary)
So with this film, the setting is set mainly by the Han River in South Korea. It started with an American doctor who told his Korean assistant to pour toxics down the drain, pouring every single one of the toxics down into the Han River. About four years later, two fishermen found a weird looking fish, with about six legs. Then about six years later, a man jumped off a bridge above the Han River, and notice a huge dark figure within the water.
As for present day, on a good sunny day, while Hyun-Seo, and her grandpa, Hee Boong, were watching t.v. Hyun-Seo's father, Park Gang-du, went out to the park to serve the costumers that bought some drinks and grilled squid from their snack bar. But as Gang-du goes toward the customers, he and other park guest finds that that there is a weird, dark object or animal that hung under the bridge. This dark weird looking animal, jumps right into the Han River and swims toward the people; and then as everyone goes toward the river, the first person to throw something into the water at the animal was Gang-du, then everyone else throws an item at the animal, and then the animal swims away. But not too long, the animal, the six legged mutant fish, jumps out of the Han River and starts to attack the people. Everyone ran and even some tried to stop the six legged mutant fish from killing the people.
But then, as Hyun-Seo got out of their snack bar home, Gang-du grabs her and took her running away from the six legged mutant fish, but then she trips, and Gang-du grabs a wrong girl. And he then sees his own daughter gets taken away by the six legged mutant fish right into the Han River.
Thus, this led to the assumption of Hyun-Seo being dead. Thus bringing in Nam-joo, the sister, and Nam-il, the brother, Gang-du, and Hee Bong together as a family.

After that, park area by the Han River was taken down into investigation, and everyone was taken as being infected by a virus and were treated. As, Gang-du and the rest of the family are in the hospital, Gang-du receives a phone call from Hyun-Seo, saying that she's in a sewer. Gang-du of course ask for help, but no one listened, instead they thought it was the virus that is taking in effect and also the death of Hyun-Seo that may have caused him to say that he received a call from her. Therefor they all escape the hospital and goes in search for Hyun-Seo in the sewers by the Han River. As they of course went back to the park area, they were attack by the mutant fish again, and they of course they attacked too with the weapons that they had, thus the mutant fish almost dead. But, then Hee Bong wanting to kill the fish with the last bullet, was killed by the mutant fish, because he did not have any bullets left to kill. Thus Gang-du and the dead body of Hee Bong were caught, and Nam-joo and Nam-il escapes.
Both Nam-joo and Nam-il went their own separate ways. Nam-il contacted one of his friend at a telephone company, and was able to identify were Hyun-Seo's call came from. Leading him to the one of the sewer by the north side bridge of the Han River. He of course texted and called Nam-joo and Gang-du of the location. They all went to the sewer in search Hyun-Seo. Gang-du found the place of where Hyun-Seo was; but as he went there, the mutant fish jumped out with Hyun-Seo in its mouth. They all chases the the mutant fish to where the people had began a riot.
They all attack the mutant fish and kills it, and Gang-du was able to retrieve Hyun-Seo's body along with her a little boy. Hyun-Seo died, but the little boy lived. Thus Gang-du takes in the little boy as his own.
Han River:
The Han River, is located in the northern part of the South Korea. And the fourth longest river in South Korean peninsula. The Han River runs into Seoul then into the Yellow Sea. The Han River is one of the largest river that was constructed by dams. Going back into history, the Han River plays an important part in the Korean history, since it was back then the place where trading took place. In this film, we can see that the Han River is an important river, since in this film we see that power plants are built near the river, and the riots they were played in the film also the importance of it too. Not only that, we see that the people of Korea is also pulling out the fact that if their river(s) are not kept clean from toxic any problems can happen to change the city and people, creating corruptions.
A Vocab to Know:
With in this film, a Korean word that I thought was interesting was
Seo-ri and can be similarly to pronounced as the English word
sorry.
Seo-ri, in Korean means that if a person is to steal they should and can steal food, or mainly what they need, but can not steal money. In which stealing money is being a thief.
Recommendation:
At first I was told that this movie is a "funny" and scary movie, but I didn't see it like it, it was not funny at all. But other then that I got to say that I do recommend this movie.
Even though Kabir was threaten of his life and banned from playing in the India’s hockey team, he still held on for many years, until an opportunity came to him; he became India’s women’s hockey team’s coach. Everyone looked down upon him for what he supposedly was said to had done to his country. But he just brushes their words off his shoulder even though it does hurt.
