The film focuses on the family relationship between father and daughter, with a smooth narrative, ironic and powerful accusations against the privileged class of society at that time. Vulnerable groups are not so easy to be slandered and fooled. The film is full of father-daughter kinship, which is no exaggeration. It is even more embarrassing for the daughter to correct her father's name when she is an adult.
The most difficult thing to face in the film is that the mentally retarded father and his young daughter are dependent on each other and are accidentally involved in a rape and murder case. They flout justice and justice, directly use their privileges to waste their lives, and don't care about the fate of the mentally handicapped and their young daughters. They only know their own pain, and they have no scruples about the separation of such vulnerable families and their deep hurt. It was painful for the police chief to lose his daughter, but he threatened Li Jiulong to plead guilty or let him lose his daughter. Li Jiulong simply believed it and traded his death penalty for his daughter's safety. Such a deep and affectionate fatherly love is heart-wrenching and regrettable.
The reason why the film was named "Gift from Room No. 7" is because Li Jiulong's simplicity and kindness accidentally rescued Su Yanghao, the boss of prison cell No. 7, and changed their impression of a rapist and murderer. Li Jiulong rescued the section chief of the teaching center again. From then on, the section chief began to wonder if the mentally retarded father had really committed the crime of rape and death? Li Jiulong misses his daughter so much, and the inmates gave him a special gift, which is to quietly bring Yisheng, who had sneaked into the church singing group, into the seventh prison cell so that their father and daughter can meet. After this secret was discovered by the section chief, the section chief was also a father who had lost his beloved son, so after he was moved, he also acquiesced in allowing Yisheng to meet his father from time to time. The success of the bridge segment lies in the fact that such behavior was not allowed by the legal system at the time, but the story's reverse operation is also ingenious.
The tear-jerking scenes of the film will never lose to our "Mom Loves Me Again" and "Can't Live Without You". The close embrace between the cute and intelligent Yisheng and his father Li Jiulong touched the inmates. Later, Li Jiulong was executed. The death sentence, the ignorant daughter and the father are crying, the heart-piercing cry is heart-wrenching, what will the helpless daughter do in the future? Although Li Jiulong was only six years old with an IQ, he knew that he would never see his daughter's beautiful and cute little face. Such a father and daughter are deeply emotional, otherwise, why would many inmates be willing to help Li Jiulong escape from the shackles of fate, but unfortunately this plan ended in failure.
Although the film presents the dark side of the law of the jungle, it does not make people desperate and depressed. The efforts of the cellmates in Room 7, the help of the section chief, and even the disappointment of Li Jiulong's confession in court are still full of human nature and goodness. Praise, and justice and justice are not overwhelmed by malice. The right path in the world is vicissitudes, the section chief became Yisheng's adoptive father, and finally let Yisheng overturn the verdict for his father Xue. A wrongful conviction is because the other party is a vulnerable group, and a wrongful conviction is because it hurts the most powerful person. It is best not to happen again, because it separates the flesh and blood, and makes the uneasy soul lose its comfort forever. Fortunately, Yisheng grew up healthy, otherwise he would harm many innocent teenagers and let them plant the seeds of revenge on this society.
The wonderful performance of the actors in the film is a highlight. Ge Sowon, who played Yesheng, won the special award of the Jury of the 50th Korea Grand Bell Awards for her sincere, optimistic and tear-jerking performance. Her acting skills are very skilled and vivid. Some grown-up actors were embarrassed. And Liu Chenglong, who plays the role of Li Jiulong, won the Best Actor Award at the 50th Korea Grand Bell Award for his authentic and explosive performance. At the same time, in the 49th Korea Baeksang Arts Awards, Ryu Chenglong won the annual award for this film. Although the storyline of the film is not very gripping, it undoubtedly adds a lot to the success of the film due to the simple and sincere performance of the actors.
