The Aimless Bullet

Obaltan (; also known as Aimless Bullet and Stray Bullet) is a 1961 South Korean tragedy film directed by Yu Hyun-mok. The plot is based on the novella of the same name by Yi Beomseon. It has often been called the best Korean movie ever made.

==Plot== The film depicts Cheolho, an accountant living a hard life in post-war South Korea. He supports his pregnant wife, his younger sister Myeongsuk, who is a prostitute for American soldiers, his younger brother Yeongho, a war veteran, and their mother, who has post-traumatic stress disorder and is constantly screaming, 'Let's get out of here!' Cheolho has a toothache, but he refuses to go to the dentist despite his brother's insistence that the toothache is a much worse problem than paying for dental treatment.
