A Korean comedy drama by Yoon Je-kyoon.A real estate gangster is sent to a poor neighborhood to evict the tenants there. He meets an aspiring boxer with a dying father, 2 poor children with a dying grandfather and a boy who wants to fly. He makes friends with these people instead of evicting them and runs into trouble with the real estate gang because of this.Now this is what I'm talking about! I like Korean films because the people in them have lives as fucked up as mine. The plot and characters were great and there was almost no happy ending. The style was typical of films like this. Hence, becoming a non-issue. My favorite characters were the poor children because they reminded me of my childhood. I didn't have to steal tomatoes, but they acted in a similar way. I'm rating this awesome because I like it.
A Korean romance by Heo In-moo.A young man who is training to become a priest goes with his friend to a small town church. A young woman whose boyfriend dumped her is also at the church and they try to fall in love.The plot and characters were mediocre at best, as was everything else about the film. This doesn't need a long review. I rate it o.k.
a korean drama directed by lee chang-dongthe 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.
