Miracle in Cell No. Film Review. A mentally handicapped single father is wrongly accused, tried and sentenced to death for the rape- murder of an elementary school girl in Lee Hwan- kyung’s Miracle in Cell No. The miracle of the title is the series of meetings the man has with his daughter while in prison in the months that lead up to his execution and the friendship she forges with his fellow inmates. Years later, the girl grows into a woman set on exonerating her dad with their help. Oh, this is a comedy. Schmaltzy family drama, physical and clever spoken gags, tooth- rotting sweetness and finally tragedy go into the unholy cocktail that makes up Miracle, which since its release around the Lunar New Year has shot into the pantheon of Korean box office hits and now only trails films such as The Host and Avatar for highest all- time admissions with over 1. With a tiny budget (that would have demanded fewer than 2 million admissions to break even) and anchored by a cast of journeyman actors that rarely get their names above the title, it’s also one of the industry’s most profitable. Despite blatant manipulation and a ridiculously sky- high concept, it’s hard to deny the film’s appeal; it gets under the skin. Box office prospects in Asia should be strong; Asia- focused festivals seem a sure bet based on its success at home, and limited release in overseas urban markets is not out of the question. STORY: South Korea Sees String of Homegrown Hits in First Quarter of 2. Yong- gu (Ryu Seung- ryong) is a mildly handicapped parking garage attendant raising his daughter Ye- sung (Gal So- won) on his own, though she’s clearly the keeper of the household despite being six years old. Yong- gu wants to get her a Sailor Moon knapsack, which leads him to follow another child down a quiet Seoul street to a shop that has them in stock. The second girl - - the police commissioner’s daughter - - winds up dead and Yong- gu is quickly judged kidnapper, rapist and murderer. Yong- gu is fingered as a child- killer in the big house (never good) but after saving his cellmate, Boss Yang- ho (Oh Dal- su) from a shiv in the yard and other displays of pure goodness, the remaining cellmates soon come to understand Yong- gu’s been railroaded. During Yong- gu’s incarceration, Yang- ho and his crew - - academic Chun- ho (Park Won- sang), wily lifer old man Seo (Kim Ki- cheon), secretly sensitive thug Bong- shik (Jung Man- shik), flamboyant Man- beom (Kim Jung- tae) - - conspire to smuggle the one thing Yong- gu wants into the prison: his daughter. Cue hijinks. The prison escapades with Ye- sung form the bulk of the film, a rambling comedy that’s every bit as absurd as it sounds. But silly as it is, director Lee and his team of regular writers commit fully to the fantasy and build the world so completely it’s easy to let reality slip away. Even the primary set, the prison cell, exists on a fantastical plane. Production designer Lee Hu- kyoung’s bright, homey jail is free of steel bars and bare concrete (the toilet has a door), shot with soft edges by cinematographer Kang Seung- gii to be a space fit for a little girl; it certainly looks nicer than the classroom Ye- sung attends at the orphanage. And it is the prison sequences that contain the most genuine laughs, often refreshingly non- reliant on toilet humor. Ye- sung’s decision to color over the Playboy pinups decorating the walls, Boss Yang- ho’s reading lessons and the sight gags built around keeping Ye- sung hidden are among the highlights. STORY: . 7’ Tops 1. Million Admissions in South Korea. But then there’s the melodramatic, tragic aspect of the film that gives it its jarring tone. The prison scenes are told in flashback as an adult Ye- sung (Park Shin- hye) addresses a court in an attempt to prove her father’s innocence. Her biggest ally in the quest is Jang Min- hwan (Jeong Jin- young), warden at the time of Yong- gu’s detention. In 1. 99. 7 Jang is a grieving father whose experience and gut instinct tell him Yong- gu may be innocent.

He does his part by looking the other way when Ye- sung sneaks in and by raising the little girl later on. He also digs around police records and uncovers a pattern of political prosecution, police ineptitude and corruption that supports their claims. And Lee has a penchant for heavy- handed imagery (the hot air balloon that gets snagged on barbed wire) and histrionics (walking the green mile) that could bear judicious editing. It is this odd mix of broad comedy and issue- based drama that makes Miracle so perplexing and logic- defying. It’s hard to tell if Lee has made a social drama (legal shortcomings and cronyism make headlines in Korea) disguised as a goofy comedy or a comedy with an undercurrent of righteous anger. Either way, the film wouldn't work at all if it wasn’t packed with engaging performances by some of Korea’s most reliable second- stringers. Ryu (War of the Arrows) waffles between caricature and affecting as the handicapped Yong- gu, and Gal occasionally suffers an overabundance of cute (though she’s far more interesting than Park), but the rest of the cast more than compensate for their shortcomings, particularly Oh (The Thieves) and Jeong (The King and the Clown).

The certain prediction of future events that cannot be known by natural means. Prophecies as predictions are consequently part of God's supernatural providence. God, in whose sight all things future are ever present, is able to communicate to his creatures the knowledge that he has. He alone finally has this power, because certain foreknowledge of the contingent future is possessed only by God. Prophecies are the words of his prescience, just as miracles are the work of his omnipotence. Hence a religion supported by prophecies must be divine. The Second Coming of Jesus Christ does not necessarily happen at the end of the world (it is not de fide or a dogmatic doctrine). What private revelation now reveals has been taught as events to anticipate or what many of the Fathers of the Church taught in the early Centuries (See Fr. Iannuzzi Entry 1.

His successor will be a pontiff that nobody expects. A monster will come to disturb it. If we examine the prophetic symbolism of this vision in closer detail, we find that the imagery of the Knock apparitions alludes to several biblical passages which have rather distinctive apocalyptic overtones. And when we analyse these apparitions in the context of the other important private revelations of the late 1. Book of Revelation. The presence of other motifs shared between the Knock apparitions and the Apocalypse helps to reinforce this conclusion.(Emmett O'Reagan 'Unveiling the Apocalypse' Nov 1. In other worlds, Heavenly powers were preparing us for the Book of Revelations. Satan was allowed 1. Hell. October 1. 3, 1. Pope Leo XIII had just finished celebrating Mass in a chapel in the Vatican. At the Mass were a few Cardinals and members of the household staff. Suddenly the Pope stopped at the foot of the altar. He stood there for about 1. The going straightway from the Chapel to his office, he composed the prayer to St. Michael and later issued instructions that it be said after all Low Masses everywhere in the world. He explained that, as he was about to leave the foot of the altar, he had suddenly heard voices two voices, one kind and gentle, the other guttural and harsh. There he heard the voice of Satan in his pride, boasting to Our Lord: I can destroy your Church. The gentle voice of Our Lord: You can? Then go ahead and do so. Satan replied,* To do so, I need more time and more power. The Lord said,* How much time? How much power? 7. Do with them what you will. Pope Pius X's vision 1.

His body was found to be incorrupt and the room was filled with the smell of flowers, the Odor of Sanctity. Sometimes called the odor of sanctity, they are the perfume- like scent given forth by the bodies of saints during their lifetime or after death. They are considered, as it were, symbols of the fragrance of extraordinary virtue. Thus the stigmata of St. Francis were reported occasionally to emit a sweet perfume. Theresa died in 1. During nine months a mysterious perfume rose from her grave. Both phenomena were carefully studied in the process of her canonization. Among the conditions set down by the Church to verify the phenomenon is whether any physical miracle is associated with the fragrant emanation. Hardon's online dictionary).

Italy will be severely tried by a great revolution, and Rome will be purified in blood for its many sins, especially those of impurity.

Soon the world will be afflicted with great calamities, bloody revolutions, frightful hurricanes and the overflowing of rivers and the seas.. Arms most deadly will destroy peoples and nations. The dictators of the earth, specimens infernal, will demolish the churches and desecrate the Holy Eucharist, and will destroy things most dear. In this impious war, much will be destroyed of that which has been built by the hands of man.. Russia with her secret armies will battle America; will overrun Europe.

To prevent the spread of the evils of Russia, she requested the consecration of Russia to her Immaculate Heart . In her Memoirs, Sister Lucy describes the vision of hell that Our Lady showed the children at Fatima. VISION OF HELL. Plunged in this fire, we saw the demons and the souls . The latter were like transparent burning embers, all blackened or burnished bronze, having human forms. They were floating about in that conflagration, now raised into the air by the flames which issued from within themselves, together with great clouds of smoke. Now they fell back on every side like sparks in huge fires, without weight or equilibrium, amid shrieks and groans of pain and despair, which horrified us and made us tremble with fright (it must have been this sight which caused me to cry out, as people say they heard me). The demons were distinguished . That vision only lasted for a moment, thanks to our good Heavenly Mother, Who at the first apparition had promised to take us to Heaven. Without that, I think that we would have died of terror and fear. Instead, they have been covered over and obscured. So, I must speak clearly and openly. They have been planned by the Evil One and have been set in motion. So, the timetable is not hidden. These events are the beginning birth pangs of this destruction. They are playing out every day, not in some hidden obscure place, but in the very heart of the Middle East. They are before your very eyes and I will explain them so very carefully. This burns so strongly because Russia continues to arm the regime. Both sides are being strengthened. This guarantees that the fuse will continue to burn. A fuse leads to an explosion. Syria is not the focus of the explosion. It is only the fuse that will lead to other fires. The explosion will take place elsewhere. I speak today about what is called the Third Secret, revealed on July 1. Lucy for her bishop. This secret was to be published in 1. What right does my Church have to falsely interpret what is revealed, as if the events have already been fulfilled when really, they lie in the future? This must end. Fatima must be placed immediately on the lampstand and the first step will be for Pope Francis to reveal the entire secret and to acknowledge that these are future events. Yes, a future pope will be killed, but that is only one part of what is still to be revealed. Lucy's, which carried my message. Before you can be my instrument, you must openly repent. It has been almost 1. I gave you this gift and you have sinned grievously against Fatima. But how did you act toward her in her lifetime? You were like Israel toward its prophets. You ignored her, silenced her, misrepresented her and, at the very moment when you supposedly released her greatest gift (the third part of the secret), you committed your most grievous sins. Note: The Vatican stated that the assassination attempt on Pope John Paul II fulfilled the prophecy.) In this, you have deceived the faithful and deprived them of their gift. You filled the world with your lies and your pretenses. It has nothing to say about the future. That lie still has not been repented of. Until it is, you cannot move forward. Lucia stated 4 different times that the 1. Consecration was not accepted in Heaven. Lucy (age 9. 2) for two hours and she then stated that the consecration of Russia had been accepted. Lucy was not even invited. Sister Lucia replied: . Many bishops attached no importance to this act. She told journalist Enrique Romero that the Consecration of Russia has not been done as requested.
