Following your dream but not going anywhere in reality. A really sad film but with a flow that's surprisingly quite pleasant. Pretty nice.

Waikiki Brothers is a band going nowhere. After another depressing gig, the saxophonist quits, leaving the three remaining members to continue on the road. The band ends up at the lead singer's hometown, which was a popular hot spring resort in the '80s, but the return home is filled with reservations of previous and past disappointments, a lost love, unemployment and tragedy.

35mm printLots to love here, especially given how much Yim Soon-rye is showing how much people come together through an art form that they've loved for so long - and in this film's case, it's music. But Waikiki Brothers never shies away from the reality of the situation that these people are living within, and it's why the moments where these people even feel like they're experiencing some sense of happiness end up feeling a lot sadder in retrospect.It's also a perfect picture of the reality that many artists who want to pursue something that they love so greatly end up looked down upon by so many people, whether they're in the same class positioning or even by those higher up. There's a lot here that's bound to resonate with many viewers who know what it feels like to fixate on something while they're still so young, only to see that as adults what they dreamed about isn't as feasible anymore. Incredible stuff.
