Movie: Kingkongeul deulda (2009)
“Lee Ji-bong (Lee Beom-soo) is a former 1988 Seoul Summer Olympics bronze medalist for weight-lifting, but a career-ending injury from the games forces him into early retirement. Unable to find another vocation because of the lack of support from the Korean Olympic Committee, he becomes destitute. Down and out, he ends up working at a shady nightclub passing out flyers that advertises its hostesses to passersby until he is visited by his former coach who insists he begin a career as a coach at a high school in Boseong – a rural region at the southwest tip of the Korean peninsula. There, he forms a weight-lifting team comprised of a rag-tag group of outcasts.”

My Comment : Based on a True Heroic Story of an Athelic,It was a complete warm story of a coach . I could really feel the pain of the athelic while lifting the weights.Nearly my eyes was filled with water.I would recommend this movieZ to watch. Thus, Bronze will never remain Bronze and Gold will never remain Gold .
Rating : 4/5
