a korean drama directed by lee chang-dong
the theory of the day is that people from that part of the world (korea, china, japan, etc) see "western" stuff and say "I can do it better!". this film starts at the end, but it's easier to follow than memento. basically, this guy falls in love with a girl, joins the army, injures his leg in a war, goes home to be a police man, leaves that line of work to own a business and then everything falls apart. it happens in reverse order on the screen though. in the first scene, he invades a party before intentionally getting hit by a train. I know this plot summary is not up to par, but what do you expect when the movie is backwards?
the video was good. full of shocking scenes of human suffering. the audio was in korean, but crying is always done in the same universal language everywhere in the world. it had subtitles that were on time.
I'd say watch it. it's brutal, it's hardcore, it's epic in that tragic type of way.
