โPunchโ (โWan-Deuk-iโ) is a coming-of-age film about a boy and depicts the changes that happen in his life as he matures from childhood to young adulthood. Wan Deuk, the protagonist, grows up with his father by his side and spends his childhood without knowing who his mother is. Although he faces many difficulties with his father being disabled, he has a warm-hearted adult figure in his life, his uncle Mingu as well as his teacher Dongju. Wan Deuk has a fierce and aggressive personality so that when he feels anger, he takes it on people by beating them. His father starts to get concerned about Wan-deuk’s violent nature. However, as there are teachers and neighbors by his side, they helped him control and maintain his aggressiveness through introducing him to sports. Dongju visits his father in person so that Wandeuk can achieve his dream and persuades him to become involved in sports. Dongjuโs compassionate actions show that despite Wandeuk and his father being handicapped and living in poverty, he is willing to love him unconditionally. Although every day may not have been peaceful, it is certain that they love and care for each other.
Initially, his teacher Dongju, was unaware of Wan Deukโs circumstances – if he was late to school as he was helping his father, he would punish him severely at school. He did not realise that Wan Deuk wanted to hide his poverty and ended up embarrassing him in front of his friends by announcing he should get the supplies for the poor. Wan Deuk hated him so much that he went to church and cursed Dongju. However, as the movie progresses, it is revealed that Dong-ju was the most concerned about Wan Deuk and only wanted the best for him. Worried that Wan Deuk would skip meals, he brought boxes of rice for Wan Deuk, and was relieved to discover that Wan Deuk took the supplies that were provided from school. And it was also Dongju who helped Wan Deuk to find his mother later on. Dongju is the one to assure Wan Deuk that he should live without having to be ashamed of his poverty and as he was able to find his mother, Dongju creates a special bond with Wan Deuk.
Hassan, an illegal immigrant working in the church, helps Wan Deuk discover his potential in kickboxing. Although he is not fluent in Korean, he put in lots of effort to be kind to everyone and recommends Wan Deuk to the grandmaster. This allows Wan Deuk to grow into a true sports player. In a demonstration match, he witnessed Wan Deuk fighting too emotionally and demanded that he was not to come back. However, he was actually waiting for Wan Deuk to distinguish between mindless fighting and the real sport. It was difficult to get permission from both the grandmaster and his father but Wan Deuk he gradually worked towards his dream, by learning the rules of kickboxing and understanding that it was not simply fighting. Wan Deuk enjoyed kickboxing because within the ring, anyoneโs status, money, and position became irrelevant. He felt that it was a fair space where he could compete solely with his own skills whilst also being able to forget thinking about his impoverished circumstances, which often plagued his mind.
In the movie, the people around him loved Wan Deuk-i unconditionally, and this gave him a lot of strength to grow into an adult. Like the people who supported Wan Deuk, I feel that no matter what your goals are, you need to have people who care and love you first. This would mean that even people who have no dreams can find their dreams. I have parents and friends who encourage and help me to achieve my goals as well as the fact that there are many teachers who help me think about my future. Thanks to this, I can do anything that I wish to do as I can find myself being able to rely on people in my community like Wan Deuk. In addition to this, even though Wan Deuk had a disabled father and a missing mother figure in his life, it seems that he grew up well thanks to his family and teacher Dongju who continued to love him unconditionally. When Wan Deuk did find his mother, he discovered that she was a foreigner. At first, he rejected his own mother but eventually came to terms with her identity. There was a scene where Wan Deuk was held like a child in his motherโs arms and this made me feel the invaluable importance of family in peopleโs lives.
