“Silenced” is a 2011 Korean drama film, categorized as True Crime, Crime, and Legal Drama; streaming on Netflix and free with ads on Tubi TV. This movie is based on the novel “The Crucible” by Gong Ji-young, which is a true story about horrific events that occurred at Gwangju Inhwa School for the Deaf. NOTE: Hwang Dong-hyuk is a South Korean director, producer and screenwriter. BEFORE his massive global success with the Netflix original series survival drama “Squid Game” (2021), he was best known for the films “Miss Granny” (2014) and “Silenced” (2011). SUMMARY: Children ho have disabilities are still children ho should be protected and nurtured by adults responsible for their care. NOT abused by them. Child abuse is a CRIME and should be PUNISHED. ♦ They’re Deaf Kids. Surely You Can’t Believe Them. In “Silenced”, (aka “The Crucible” or “Dogani”), Kang In-ho moves to the town of Mujin because he got a job as an art teacher at Ja-ae Academy, a school for the deaf.

My heart goes out to those kids. It's infuriating how the system failed them. Fighting against powerful figures like the headmaster must've been exhausting for Kang In-ho and Yoo-Jin. Good on them for not giving up! This movie sounds like a must-watch, especially for people who work with vulnerable populations. Maybe it'll spark some conversations about strengthening child protection services.
 
I love Korean cinema, and the fact that this film is based on a true story is even more compelling. It's amazing that a movie can have such a real-world impact, like leading to The Dogani Law.
 
This is terrifying. As a parent, this makes me want to hug my kids extra tight. The idea of someone hurting a child is sickening, but preying on those who can't defend themselves? Unforgivable. Honestly, the movie sounds too real for me. Maybe I'll stick to lighter stuff, but I commend the filmmakers for bringing this story to light. It's important to be aware of these issues, even if it's uncomfortable
 
Interesting to see a movie based on the Gwangju Inhwa School case. Didn't know about this before. Sounds like a dark chapter in South Korean history. The "Dogani Law" being passed after the film's release is a positive outcome, though. It shows the power of movies to spark social change.

Are you kidding me? Yes, it is! I have loved Gong Yoo for the longest time. Most of the time he plays good guys. But I've always known he could play any part and be convincing.

It was dark. I came across one reviewer who was very upset by this movie. That person even tracked the real case, the sentences, the law that resulted, and subsequent changes to that law to result in more serious punishment for the perpetrators. It seems the public was outraged because the first time the initial sentences were more like “a slap on the wrist for being naughty”. This movie made me very angry!
 
He looks familiar, Oh he is that evil a-hole from Squid Game.
I am surprised this is the way people recognize him when I've always known him to be a sweet guy. He was in "Coffee Prince". Doesn't anybody remember? LOL.
