movie -- baby and me





















































I watched the movie "Baby and Me". It's a korean movie about a highschool kid suddenly receieved a baby in the supermarket and a note saying that the baby is his. Meanwhile, his parents left him for his previous behavior were so disappointing for them. Consequently, he has to raise up the baby all by himself. Through out the movie, it showed how hard it is for a high school kid to take care of a baby. At the end of the movie, it turns out that the baby's father is this kid's friend and he returns the baby to his friend.



One thing that stood out to me is there is a scene in the movie, the baby won't drink artificial milk so the highschool kid had to go out and ask random women whom he thinks has milk for milk. I flet like that that is a totally culture difference, because they may do that in Korea, but if they were to do it here in the US, the boy might be taken to the police as a pervert or something.

So cultural differences do assume to large differences what people do under different cultures.


This is as if a woman in Africa who walks 5 miles a day to get water verses a woman in the US who walks 5 minutes a day to get to her car. Under different cultures and circumstances people do different things and it's not a big surprise.
