    This is one of the best Korean movies I've seen, both in terms of plot editing, lighting, and other technical aspects are very strong. "Laugh, the whole world will laugh, cry, and weep alone" "Even if it's a beast, I don't have the right to live." Hatred is a catalyst, you all follow the path to take revenge, but forget that what you hate is the cowardly self. "My sister and I knew we couldn't fall in love, but we still fell in love with each other", but we chose to forget that we cowardly let...

    Since love is only a setting, why do you have to hold on until the end when you say something about love, you will love it regardless of identity It's a bad movie, but there is a suspicion that it is deliberately beaten out. It's not a shot that accurately captures the main vein of the movie. I'm a little...

    After procrastinating for so long, I finally saw this amazing film on the big screen at the Twisted Asian Film Festival. I have to throw myself into the cinema to fully enjoy this film! The various languages ​​of the film are superb, concise and powerful, praise! There is no problem with the theme... Quentin awarded Park Zanyu the award, which is a great joy in the film...

    Park Chan-wook's revenge trilogy, I think the most shocking and best one, regardless of the actors' acting skills, the original soundtrack, the pictures, and the plot are all first-class,,, although the previous part of being locked up + gang fights is too deliberate, it makes people feel fake, But the whole film still fascinates me deeply, especially the long shot of recalling the dual visual chase of childhood, it is really shocking, the cut is too subtle, the climax of the plot is also...

    incest. Long tongue. revenge. Hypnosis. Such a perverted movie, accept incompetence, and do Korean movies all take pleasure in playing hard? Think bloody bats. Also, how can Jiang Huizhen, an innocent little sister, be such a heavy-handed character? I've gone, accepting my incompetence, and wanting to reduce my...

    Too cruel and no beauty. Only the part about the suicide of the siblings is good. Hypnotic amnesia is a god-horse redemption. Hey. I am not optimistic about all works that use human physiological and physiological reactions as a selling point, such as fear (horror movies), nausea (brain-eating zombies), warmth (friends), sex (av), and violence (old...

    The script is strong, the actors are strong, and the theme is strong. In contrast, the other two "I Want Vengeance" and "Kind Gold" in the director's "Vengeance Trilogy" are much...

    The editing is good, I especially like the last mirror segment, the slightly deformed face, which renders the atmosphere of the whole story more gloomy. The pace of the story is smooth, but the ending feels a bit redundant. The settings of various suspense are quite attractive, but the decryption is so tricky, it reminds me of the way that Cai Jun uses twins at every turn. Do Koreans like to make a big fuss and...

    The rest of the parts are done beautifully, but the plot can be established, and it depends entirely on hypnosis. Hypnosis is not that magical at all, unless you tell me this is a science fiction film. So, one star...

    Fatal memory

    There are many times when Korean movies are literary and artistic, but they have the power to punch the viewer's chest hard, such as [Samaria Girl], such as [Drifting Desire Room], such as [Old Boy] in this article. The first actor is my favorite Cui Minzhi. This middle-aged man, who is both...

    "Old Boy" Music Appreciation

    1. The fit between the theme song "The old boy" and the atmosphere of the film

    The film is a commercial film with a clear narrative purpose, and Park Chan-wook also added a lot of direct depictions of sex and violence in it, telling a story full of sorrow and pain in the background of a bustling and...
