Students Are Unaware That The Security Guard is a Math Genius Who Escaped From North Korea

A genius janitor with a hidden past will teach a needy student how to get better at math so he can pass the extremely hard tests given by his elite school.

The sad thing about this movie is how society views someone like the security guard as being a failure in life when in reality they could be a genius. There has been so much talent that was wasted because people grow up in a bad time period or in a bad place. I was never into math but this movie made me really sad . People are too judgmental . Don’t ever judge someone . You never know what they went through .

Wow. The only Movie Recap video that has ever made me cry is about math--- and I'm not even angry about it.

"Math is all about the process of finding a solution"
this mirrors what my most influential math teacher told me. I still failed his class, but now as a math teacher (formerly) myself, it's one of the most important things to understand about math. you're given tools, abstract concepts, and parameters - there are many answers, there are few solutions.

As I learned math in Korea, I feel that the focus in math is just getting the questions right and I think this movie points out the issue well. I enjoyed watching it and it'll be one of the best movies I've watched.

9:01 This is an error. Bo-Ram doesn't storm out because of frustration or pressure; she storms out because the questions on the "practice tests" her "tutor" gave her were the exact same questions on the Pythagoras test. That is why Bo-Ram was able to leak the Pythagoras test.

EDIT: The title of the movie is In Our Prime

We've seen a janitor with crazy math skills, now a security guard. Now all we're waitin for is a math teacher to have hidden skills in math.

_I hated math. But after I watched the movie, I wanted to learn math. So I opened my old mathematic book and see where did I do wrong._

_After a few hours, I realized that I still hate math._

I was in University and studied math (hated it) and I found out that two security guards were very passionately arguing about crazy complicated math problems every day. I didn't become their student as I already decided to quit it anyways and they didn't get any career in the end - they knew only Russian and were quite unapproachable as characters. But yes, lots of real stories like that.

My grandpa was a mathematician, he loved math, and logic games (like sudoku) he even made some for me and my sister.
Oddly enough, he once visited the USSR back in the 70's with his family (wich was not only a serious crime, being a communist or a socialist was literally illegal at the time in my country, but you would be immediately deported back home to be arrested if discovered. Don't ask me why they thought commiting a serious political crime with kids in tow was a good idea)
I miss him a lot, every time I see a movie about math or mathematicians I think about him.

He may lost his son but found a new one even they’re not blood related. How touching! I never knew Id love a story about Math because its my worst subject when I was a student.

I was not good at math 🥺 until at 37 I met a high school professor who looked at all of us students with his big blue eyes like we are all very smart! His positive attitude made me believe in my ability to be good at math!🤓 That was a miracle!🥺❤️ To explain, I moved to Canada and enrolled in Grade 11 College Math as an adult. I had high school diploma from backhome, Serbia, but wanted to refresh my math before I study business at college. I got 93% grade in Grade 11 and 95%, I think, in Grade 12, but later I decided to study journalism. Getting good at math is one of my proudest moments.🎉 It may sound weird, but I consider math to be my friend that will never betray me, it gave me back everything I invested in it.❤🥺🤗

Found this video unintentionally. It reminded me of my late father who loves math while me on the contrary find it the source of my migraine😅 He once told me that the answers are sometimes hidden in the question itself, I just need to understand the question. He can solve math problems even when he was already partially blind just to help me prepare with my CSC exam for me to be fit to work for the government. This movie clip made me miss him so much.

[uknowguy]

His love for math is just like mine but the difference is that i suck at it

[Xavierpng]

I really love this kind of a story because it proves how shortminded people can be and easily judge people in the most unfair ways as if being perfect and not capable commiting mistakes themsellves

[Incepter.]

It's really sad how much that security guard's intelligence was used for weapons, shows how people will do anything like take advantage of someone in order to gain superiority over others. Either way, this recap was an excellent story about how much intelligence can take over someone's life.

Choi Min-sik (Hak-sung) is one of THE greatest actors of our time and maybe ever. His performances in Oldboy, Shiri, I Saw the Devil, Sympathy for Lady Vengeance, Taegukgi were mind blowing. I mean there are a lot of pompous actors out there who think they’re doing the same but what Choi does is art. He is a once in a lifetime talent that deserves more recognition internationally.

Don't want to be utterly soapy here, but: My wife's a olympic grade mathematician. And I can relate to people who get all teary when math is presented in its pure form and idealistic ways. That recap took me back to all the lectures I got from her. Math's the basis of this world, not 'just' numbers.

"He is approaching problem solving the wrong way."
"Understanding what the question is, that's what is even more important. Math is all about the process of finding a solution." I COULDN'T HAVE SAID IT BETTER MYSELF!

[johnwaltersalas]

I really dont know if the Riemann hypothesis is already been solved or not. but maybe a lot of work on it is being refereed by now. I hope few would successfully prove it successfully and separately.

"self-pity isn't a badge to carry because it gets you fixated on tragedy" 👈🏼 LOVE THIS!!!
