Waikiki has been often regarded as one of most worth visiting places among traditional Korean folks who experienced the rapid Americanization of society since the end of the Korean War. Now, time has changed and any word associated with "Waikiki" is regarded as a symbol of the unenlightened because of its strong nuance for the generation of old timers. The movie focuses on the everyday life of an itinerant vocal band named "Waikiki Brothers" which reminds of the residue of retarded, cheap musicians.
The collapse of Waikiki brothers is well-anticipated at the first scene of the movie, and the plot is about how each member of the band compromises with the modernized realm of the contemporary Korean society. The basic emotion of this film is the nostalgia and its approach is an archaeological review of ancient cultural icons which are rarely witnessed now. The message that the nostalgia of the past can serve as a powerful resource for preparing the future is hovering around this movie, and the attitude toward reincarnating the relics of youth is the major motto this film demonstrates.
Quite a contemplative text on the lost glory and hope of the Korean past which are calmly absorbed in the spirit of loneliness and alienation of modern Korean society. Must be one of standing ovation-able works that will shine year after year.
