==Plot==
{{Long plot|date=December 2020}}
During the [[Hungnam Evacuation]] of 1950 in the [[Korean War]], when thousands of refugees in what would become [[North Korea]] were transported south by U.S. Navy boats, a child, Deok-soo, loses his sister, Mak-soon. Deok-soo's father stays behind to search for her, telling his son to take the boy's mother and two younger siblings to the port city of [[Busan]], where Deok-soo's aunt runs an imported goods store. Before leaving the family, the father makes Deok-soo promise to be head of the household in his place.

Deok-soo becomes his family's breadwinner from an early age, doing all sorts of odd jobs to support the family. In the 1960s, financial need forces him to travel to Europe with his best friend Dal-goo, where they find dangerous work as ''[[Gastarbeiter]]'' (guest workers) in German coal mines to pay for his brother's tuition at [[Seoul National University]]. There, Deok-soo falls in love with a fellow migrant worker, nurse Young-ja. Deok-soo survives a mining accident and leaves Germany after his visa expires. Young-ja returns to Korea months later and tells him she's pregnant with his child. They have a modest wedding, begin a life together, and eventually have two sons.

A few years pass, and Deok-soo's aunt dies. Deok-soo's now elderly uncle is in need of money and decides to sell the imported goods store, a move Deok-soo disagrees with. Deok-soo leaves Korea again in the 1970s for [[Vietnam War|war-torn Vietnam]], partly to fulfill his sister's wish for a big wedding by earning enough money to purchase the imported goods store from his uncle. He returns to Korea with a lame leg, the result of getting shot while helping villagers escape from the [[Viet Cong]].

Deok-soo runs the store with his wife, and life goes on until 1983, when [[Korea Broadcasting System|major broadcast stations]] in South Korea run [[KBS Finding Dispersed Families|TV programs]] in which relatives separated during the Korean War are reunited. Deok-soo is contacted to be featured in one of these shows due to the hope of an elderly man from his hometown who claims to be his father. On TV, the two realize they are not father and son. Deok-soo's family is distraught over the mistake, but soon afterward, the same program brings Deok-soo back to TV in the hope of finding his long-lost sister, Mak-soon. A Korean-American woman who was adopted as a child by a U.S. family during the Korean War is featured. Deok-soo converses with her, and realizes she is indeed Mak-soon. An emotional reunion ensues and his sister comes to Korea. Deok-soo's mother passes away soon after the reunion.

In the present day, an elderly Deok-soo finally decides to sell his aunt's imported goods store, which up to this point he stubbornly refused to do despite the store's losing money. It is revealed that Deok-soo's father had promised to reunite with the family at the store, thus explaining why Deok-soo bought and held on to the store for so long. In the final scene, Deok-soo wistfully tells his wife that his father is probably too old at this point to be still alive and reunite with him.

==Production==
''Ode to My Father'' was primarily shot in [[Busan]], director [[Yoon Je-kyoon]]'s hometown where he also shot his previous films ''[[Miracle on 1st Street]]'' (2007) and ''[[Tidal Wave (2009 film)|Haeundae]]'' (2009). It was filmed from 3 September to 25 December 2013, notably at the titular [[Gukje Market]], the biggest open-air street market in Busan that began in the 1950s as a series of stalls set up by wartime refugees seeking to earn a meager living.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Yang|first1=Sung-young|title=They Were There!

With a {{SK won|14 billion}} budget, ''Ode to My Father'' was the first Korean blockbuster that enforced a standard labor contract with the crew, which stated that they could not work for more than 12 hours a day, and were given overtime pay and a full day off once a week. The cultural, arts and entertainment fields in Korea have typically ignored labor laws and regulations, where deeply rooted tradition causes young staff members to be overworked yet rarely paid. After a long campaign by film professionals, the first Korean film to be made with a standard labor contract was ''[[Venus Talk]]'' in 2013, but ''Ode to My Father'' went further by enforcing the contract from the pre-production stage and ensuring that bonuses will be distributed equally to the entire crew. Director Yoon said production costs rose by {{SK won|300 million}} because of the contract, but that people worked harder and more willingly, which ended up elevating the quality of the work.<ref>{{cite web|title=A new milestone|url=http://koreajoongangdaily.joins.com/news/article/article.aspx?aid=2999692|website=[[Korea JoongAng Daily]]|access-date=17 January 2015|date=15 January 2015}}</ref>

==Critical reception==
The film drew mixed reviews and raised controversy over its alleged attempt to idealize the past under the rule of authoritarian regimes.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Conran|first1=Pierce|title=Review: ODE TO MY FATHER Puts Blockbuster Spin On Melodrama|url=http://twitchfilm.com/2014/12/review-ode-to-my-father-puts-blockbuster-spin-on-melodrama.html|website=[[Twitch Film]]|access-date=9 December 2014|date=5 December 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141216105209/http://twitchfilm.com/2014/12/review-ode-to-my-father-puts-blockbuster-spin-on-melodrama.html|archive-date=16 December 2014|url-status=dead}}</ref> This began when President [[Park Geun-hye]] stressed the need for patriotism by citing a scene in the film in which the husband and wife suddenly halt an argument and pay a hand salute to the national flag when they hear the national anthem playing.<ref name=smash>{{cite web|last1=Jung|first1=Hyun-mok|title=Smash-hit films criticized for political leanings|url=http://koreajoongangdaily.joins.com/news/article/article.aspx?aid=2999899|website=[[Korea JoongAng Daily]]|access-date=23 January 2015|date=21 January 2015}}</ref> Several film and culture critics lambasted it as a "conservative" or "right-wing" film that glorified industrialization, though liberal opposition lawmaker [[Moon Jae-in]] disagreed, saying "that was the reality of that time period."<ref name=stirs /> Critic Huh Ji-woong said that it "emphasizes the sacrifices of seniors while their current lackadaisical attitudes should be identified as a real problem," while critic Chin Jung-kwon said the film amounts to a "low-class tearjerker."<ref>{{cite web|last1=Jin|first1=Eun-soo|title=''Ode to My Father'' still No. 1 despite controversy|url=http://koreajoongangdaily.joins.com/news/article/Article.aspx?aid=2999284|website=[[Korea JoongAng Daily]]|access-date=17 January 2015|date=6 January 2015}}</ref>

Despite the lukewarm reception from critics, the film continued to be popular among audiences. Critic Jeong Ji-wuk said the political debate ironically aided the film's box office, "It was able to top 10 million in attendance with the combination of various factors, such as being a story of a family and a father, curiosity caused by political debates and an aggressive marketing strategy of CJ Entertainment."<ref>{{cite web|title=Film on modern Korean history tops 10 mln in attendance|periodical=[[The Korea Herald]]|publisher=[[Yonhap]]|url=http://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20150114000301|access-date=22 November 2018|date=1 January 2015|language=en}}</ref> Nostalgia was also believed to be the driving force behind its commercial success, with middle-aged viewers in their forties and older taking up 34.5 percent of ticket sales (despite the film's relative absence of buzz on social media).<ref>{{cite web|title=''Ode to My Father'' Set to Pull 10 Million Viewers|url=http://english.chosun.com/site/data/html_dir/2015/01/13/2015011301850.html|website=[[The Chosun Ilbo]]|access-date=17 January 2015|date=13 January 2015}}</ref> Critic Kim Hyung-seok said, "Audiences who lived around the era in which Deok-soo lived will feel like that the movie is an ode to themselves and feel nostalgic and comfort."<ref name=nostalgia>{{cite web|last1=Lim|first1=Ju-ri|last2=Jin|first2=Eun-soo|title=Nostalgic viewers are drawn to ''Ode''|url=http://koreajoongangdaily.joins.com/news/article/article.aspx?aid=2999026|website=[[Korea JoongAng Daily]]|access-date=17 January 2015|date=30 December 2014}}</ref>

Director Yoon, however, said he intentionally excluded any political point of view in the film and "just wanted to talk about his father and his generation, who sacrificed themselves for their children" and "make a family movie that could be watched together by three generations."<ref name=smash /> Calling the film his personal tribute to his father (he used his parents' real names Deok-soo and Young-ja for the lead characters), Yoon said, "My father passed away when I was in college and I didn't have a chance to say thank you. I hope the film serves as the channel for communication between the old and young generation."<ref name=stirs>{{cite web|last1=Ahn|first1=Sung-mi|title=''Ode to My Father'' stirs nostalgia, controversy|url=http://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20150106000904|website=[[The Korea Herald]]|access-date=17 January 2015|date=6 January 2015}}</ref><ref name=nostalgia />
