[Rating - KMovie] Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring

Story:
Interest: 1
(2 = I'm so glad I watched it!;
1 = There's nothing to lose if I didn't watch it, interesting enough to make me want to finish it;
0 = What a waste of time)
Coherence: 2
(2 = Perfectly crafted story, no missing links, well-thought out, whoever wrote this is a genius;
1.5 = The story seems to have no flaws but it isn't a very challenging story to write;
1 = The story has some flaws in it so the flow isn't really that good, something feels off;
0 = What did the story really want to say?!)
- I liked the story... maybe what I didn't like was the execution.
Reality: 2
(2 = True-to-life story or the story felt so real that it made me believe that it's true, got so absorbed in the movie making me feel as if I was in it;
1.5 = Looks so real but the story is so common;
1 = It could have convinced me if not for some things that felt a little weird;
0 = I don't think that this could happen in real life)
- I wasn't really absorbed in it coz I didn't really like the execution. But the story felt so real because it mirrored human nature. It showed how people are naturally sinful, that no matter how we were brought up, no matter how isolated we are from the world, we still have it in us. And it showed how people grow and learn how to seek for forgiveness.
Inspiration: 2
(2 = It stirred something inside me, made me feel better;
1 = It's a good story but didn't do anything for me;
0 = No lessons to pick up for me)

Movie:
Execution: 1
(2 = The director did a magnificent job, the movie was so clean and it felt so real;
1 = It was okay but it didn't blow me away;
0 = Did the director have such a low standard?)
- It's so sad that the movie was executed that way. The movie invoked depression, not peace. But I loved the story. If it had a book, I'd rather read that than watch the movie.
Effect: 1
(2 = Brought out all the right emotions from me (cry, laugh, get angry, cringe... etc), left me in awe;
1 = Almost cried, almost laughed, almost got angry.
0 = It didn't move me at all.)
Acting: 1
(2 = The actors were completely lost in their characters, they gave me goosebumps;
1 = The actors were good but the roles weren't really challenging;
0 = The actors need to attend more acting workshops)
- The lead actor was annoying here. I don't know if it's the role. But if he was supposed to be annoying, then he did a very good job. The kid, however, was good.
Casting: 1
(2 = It was a cast made in heaven, the acting and the faces were perfect for the roles;
1 = The actors didn't make much impression;
0 = They should have given the role to better actors)
Compactness: 0
(2 = Didn't blink even once afraid to miss a thing;
1 = Skipped some parts but didn't blink on some;
0 = Skipped more than watched)
Cinematography: 1
(2 = Blew me away;
1 = Just okay, nothing special;
0 = Did they even have budget for this movie?)
Scoring: 1.5
(2 = Helped in bringing out the viewer's emotions and I loved the soundtrack;
1.5 = The scoring matched the scenes or there's at least one song that I loved;
1 = At least the movie had a soundtrack;
0 = The movie doesn't have one.)

Recommend? 1
(2 = You'll miss half of your life if you don't watch this;
1 = If you like the genre, watch it;
0 = You won't miss anything if you don't watch this)
- If there's a book about this, I'd recommend reading that instead. I didn't really like the execution.

Total Rating: 3/5
