Powerful

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Tae-suk tapes fake fliers inside apartment buildings and along city blocks. Several hours pass and the house or apartment that leaves the flier untouched, he breaks into them. One day by accident, he breaks into a house with a battered wife, Sun-hwa, inside. Basically, a romance ensues between these two quiet soulmates.Melancholy and disturbing, this film transcends into a simple, dream-like romance full of atmosphere and beauty. It's difficult to explain why this film is beautiful; for me, the characters transcend their despair and find an improbable solution to loving each other. Minimalistic and mysterious, the director Kim Ki-Duk creates a film that leaves profound questions up to the viewer.Mostly, this film uses minimal dialogue which feels slightly stilted and gimmicky. Although the lack of dialogue is a gimmick, "3-Iron" is a profoundly rewarding experience.

3-Iron (빈집, Bin-jip, meaning Empty House) is a 2004 Korean film directed by Kim Ki-duk, a South Korean filmmaker noted for his idiosyncratic "art-house" cinematic works. The plot revolves around the relationship between a young drifter and an abused housewife. The film is notable for the lack of dialogue between its two main characters. Film review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reported that 86% of reviewers (75 out of 87) gave the film positive ratings with an average score of 7.4. The film grossed $241,914 in North America and $2,965,315 worldwide. A haunting love tale full of poeticism and beauty. A film that transcends fantasy and reality, instead offering an uncanny blur between the two. 3-Iron is a film dripping with love, longing and anguish. A fantastic romantic fable from Kim Ki-Duk.

The lonely and silent rider Tae-suk (Hee Jae) breaks in empty houses and lives a normal life while the owners are traveling. He does not steal anything and moves from house to house without any loss other than food, and he cleans the houses, provides small repairs or washes some clothes to retribute the hospitality.When he enters in the house of Sun-hwa (Seung-yeon Lee), he does not see the woman that is wounded in her room after being beaten up on by her abusive husband Min-gyu Lee (Hyuk-ho Kwon). Tae-suk helps the hurt woman and when Min-gyu returns, he hits the husband with golf balls and Sun-hwa leaves her husband with Tae-suk in his motorcycle. When they break in the house of an old man, they find that the man is dead and Tae-suk provides funeral service for him. However, his son returns and Tae-suk and Sun-hwa are arrested by two abusive police detectives. He is sent to prison and Sun-hwa is forced to return home. But she never forgets him."Bin-jip" is a subtle film about a lonely drifter and an abused wife that finds love, empathy and human warmth with him. The story is open to interpretation and here is mine (it is a spoiler – therefore if you have not watched the film yet, do not read):Tae-suk is murdered by the prison guards when he leaves his cell, and Min-gyu Lee receives a phone call from the police telling that the youngster had been released as a sort of justification for his disappearance. Sun-hwa lives with the "ghost" of the free-spirited Tae-suk as a way to help her to survive to his marriage life.Maybe I am too simplistic, but that is the way that I have understood this pleasant film. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): "Casa Vazia" ("Empty House")

3-Iron was a great film. A man fills his days by breaking into homes while the owners are on vacation. He's not there to steal anything, he just lives their lives a bit for them while they're gone. He eats their food, and even does a bit of their laundry. But things change one day when he enters a home that is not empty. Inside he finds the battered wife of an affluent businessman. The two then leave together, taking with them one of the businessman's golf clubs, and continue their odd lifestyle of living in other people's houses. But their benign transient existence is soon threatened when the woman's furious husband tracks them down and reports them to the policeThe movie was all about religious beliefs. A must-see for anyone who is looking for film that requires thought and analysis rather than pure entertainment. The acting was great in this film. Also, a lot of thinking is required. A Buddhist will appreciate this film more as compared to an individual from another religion. But nevertheless, it deserves an excellent rating as it gives the viewer a privilege to undergo introspection upon his/her life.
