Have you ever heard of the movie 'Pawn'? Due to the COVID-19, few people visit the movie theater. The movie 'Pawn' fills an empty movie theater with a happy laugh, heartfelt emotion and a deep afterglow.

The movie 'Pawn' begins with an interesting setting in which merciless private moneylenders took over a debtor's child as collateral. Changes occur until the moneylenders and the child become genuine family members, becoming entangled by unexpected ties, and this conveys an important lesson about family to the audience.

In this family aspect, 'Pawn' is a warm family story that makes you look back at your neighbors at least once in a society which focuses on individualism. In newspaper articles, various individualistic society problems arise such as the murder of the family by abandoning his or her parents. Thus, now that we have entered an era of individualism, the movie 'Pawn' is presenting and allows us to contemplate a new meaning of true family.

The movie's director says, "The process of those who met through bad luck becoming celestial beings will convey emotion and empathy to all generations." This is true; it was so warm that tears came to my eyes as the three people showed a stronger family love than any other family. I think it's a film that is really necessary in this era because it's a work that can let you feel the greatness of love.

Another interesting factor in the movie is that it is set in the 1990's. It is full of nostalgic backgrounds and props from the 1990's. Various props representing the 1990's draw attention such as beepers, public phone booths, colorful patterns used by earlier generations, and a Seo Taiji record are featured in the movie. This movie is expected to bring new memories to the audiences who have lived in that era and a look back for the younger generation who are not familiar with the 1990s.

It adds to expectations by foretelling that 'Pawn' is a work that makes us think about the meaning of a true family. The movie 'Pawn' is a good piece for audiences of all ages to enjoy together. I hope that you will be moved by the warmth of your family while watching the movie 'Pawn'.
