Father Is a Dog (2010)

Option 1Can't Watch?

Wait 30secs. Movie still not playing? Click the "Can't Watch?" tab.

If the movie didn't load, it means you are being blocked by a security service we use. This can happen for a number of reasons.

Click this first

A new tab will open and a basic security check like a captcha will be performed. After completing the check, close that page and return here.

Refresh this page. Wait 30 secs. The movie should load and you can just hit play.



If it still doesn't play, Click here to watch the movie

The movie should now start playing in a new tab of your browser or begin downloading to your device. This option has the minor disadvantage that English-language movies with optional subtitles in the movie player will not include these subs with this method.

The new system here has been designed keeping in mind even people with low internet speeds sub-8mbps. Even if you have a really bad connection, you should still be able to watch the movie without any issues if you:
Start the movie. Pause it. Wait for 30-45 seconds. Start playing again.

This 'Can't Watch' method really only works if it's your specific device/browser that's interfering with the player. There is no real advantage of speed here. Or if there is a temp network glitch or read lag from the server disk.

If you're still having problems, try using 'Incognito mode' in your browser. On iPhones, especially older ones, use Chrome instead of Safari. Might help.

IMPORTANT: Please make sure that the newly opened tab is not an ad popup asking you to download some software or whatever. Close any such popups and don't download any software - those are ads. Nothing is needed to be done by you other than to complete the security check which is often automated.

Plot – Spoilers:
Three brothers in a Korean family miss their recently deceased mother badly. The feeling is accentuated by their tyrannical father who treats them like shit. One of the brothers is retarded and wears a helmet which is often useful when he gets smacked on the head. Another is an artist who mostly couldn’t give a shit about anything other than his painting needs. The oldest brother is the one keeping things together, and his protective instincts towards his brothers often blurs any option they might have to make it outside of the shadow of their father.

Things get worse when it turns out Dad has a young male lover whom he brings home to dote and fuss over. The young man is high for a while on the attention, but soon learns that cruelty cannot be selective and is often a latent trait.

definitely better than mother is a whore; I seriously think this might be one of the best movies i’ve watched lately, not too gore-y but just enough.

I laughed at some parts until an overwhelming flatness encapsulated me, making it difficult to prevent the stinging of tears from forming. It’s touching, upsetting, and yet so provoking. Lee Sang-woo directs with coercive and sui generis parabolicism.

Excellent.. possibly my fav out of the three… It’s deeply sad and yes bloody funny in parts too.
But like a Asian Mike Leigh film.. pretty bleak but hey that’s like innit.

Again some top performances from some truly magnificent Korean talent.
The music score like in I am trash is also great… A sort of Francophile unexpected piece. Proper cinema for proper film heads

I loved this one. I found it hilarious throughout. There was genuine shock towards the climax as they descend deeper in fatalism. There was a tear or two as well. Perfect film.

Father Is a Dog and Mother is a Whore. Koreans are so disgusting and unethical, must really suck to live in Korea.

Is ” Father is a dog ” in anyway related to the ”Mother is a whore ” movie?

This movie is a prime example of why I avoid Asian Cinema. I decided to watch it after reading “I was looking for it everywhere” and 4 viewers gave it a 5 star rating. About half way through I had to take a nap because it was so boring. I find it difficult to engage in Asian Cinema because 99 out of 100 times I just don’t care about the characters. The music seemed inappropriate at times. I guess this is supposed to be a comedy? I don’t get it. I thought it sucked the same way I think Yoko Ono sucks, no matter how much John praised her talent. I have seen some good Asian movies but they are few and far between. This one seems like a low budget, poorly written, poorly acted amatuer production. The grand finale seems to mock the viewer for watching it with it’s stupid ending that went on way too long. You can give it 5 stars and watch it multiple times if you want to. I’m giving it 1 star and I can guarantee I will never watch it again.
