The flashback scenes are much better, thanks in particular to period details, nice cinematography and the charismatic acting of Cho Seung- woo. Their lessons begin with many conflicts but end with love. Following the internet novel, the first two- thirds of the film focuses on the conflicts. While lots of distinct moments catch the audience's laughs, the film is. He had previously acted as a high school boy. Volcano High and Make It Big!, but this is the first time for him to be in the leading role. With the strong role reserved for the female character, his role is pretty minor. Given that this is a character he had practice with before, he is sharp in the film and shows his potential to become one of the new stars in the coming years. Kim. Kim Bong- doo (Cha Seung- won) is a young teacher in a Seoul elementary school. Choe, whose initial value to Teacher Kim is that he has access to imported cigarettes, has the final line of the movie rather than the children). Kim is a pleasantly level- headed comedy that goes to the opposite direction from, say, The Way Home, despite superficial similarities. Save the Green Planet also featured a plotline that promised something out of the ordinary, so that for critics and industry people (though sadly, not audiences in general) this film has been 'one to watch' ever since it started shooting. Kim or the glitz of Chicago to the dark imagery, depressing themes and seat- squirming violence offered up here (though a vocal minority praised the film highly). More than anything else, it's extremely sad, and it hit me in a vulnerable spot. This was the 1. 2th Korean film released so far this year, and in my opinion it's worth more than all the other eleven combined. Happy Day is a My Sassy Girl (2. Jang Na- ra as both . Happy Day is a case in point. For instance, Hee- jee collapses in bathroom, but her . Happy Day is not pretentious or self- important. The film's narrative is nowhere nearly as tightly designed as a Hong Sang- soo film. Casting of Pak Hae- il as Won- sang for me strengthens this impression, with his feminine- handsome noh mask face, although one cannot certainly fault his performance. Bong's primary addition to the material was to highlight the era in which the murders took place - - a time in which the Korean populace was struggling to shake off its authoritarian and militaristic past. Butterfly. Having opened against the monster hit Memories of Murder and the Hollywood juggernaut X- Men 2, Mr. Butterfly did not- too- bad business with more than 6. Butterfly are shamelessly uninventive. Butterfly ought to be a laugh riot for wrong reasons, or the kind of mothball- smelling retro- '7. Aunt Yeonsogguk, you know, one who had been addicted to TV soaps for last 3. Theater- trained supporting players Lee Mun- sik (Hi Dharma, Break Out), Kim Seung- wook and Uhm Chun- bae also bring pathos and conviction to the roles basically designed as comic reliefs and broad caricatures. Butterfly a successful film. Butterfly somehow has the power to pull you into its narrative, not to mention a kind of weird hutzpah that keeps you riveted to the screen, suppressing your impulse to scoff at the unreconstructed cliches the movie seemingly takes so seriously. Commercially speaking, it suffered from the bad fortune of having debuted only one week after the highly anticipated Korean release of Miyazaki Hayao's Princess Mononoke. Vengeance (Oh horrors!) are equally or more beautiful: I say he needs a new pair of contact lenses. Climax No. 3, and brought the film under one hour and forty minutes, we would have had an uncontested masterpiece in our hands. Her geeky boyfriend has unceremoniously dumped her. Brothers), from a sociological point of view the latter relationship is far more interesting. Kim (Kim Mun- saeng), a veteran of the CF industry and responsible for more than 2. TV commercials, some of which for Hong Kong- based advertisement agencies (Has any Hong Kong resident of this website seen his commercial for the MTR subway? Jin- sung wins the scholarship after So- hee falls down the stairs and damages her legs. Into the Mirror, supported by the New Directors in Focus program at the Pusan Film Festival in its early development stage, is an intriguing debut film by Kim Sung- ho, a former architect whose deft manipulation of the spatial and optic dimensions of the film results in its unique and memorable look and atmosphere, overlaid with a layer of modernist austerity. Yu Ji- tae (Oldboy, Attack the Gas Station) plays U Young- min, a cop- turned- security chief at a department store, investigating a series of inexplicable suicides. Yet foreign audiences are likely to view this film in a different way from how it is viewed in Korea, where attacks on the institution of family ring with much stronger resonance. It's in some ways remarkable that such a serious, downbeat film could have reached so many viewers. Brothers. Take one part Rain Man, one part Big, one part Jack, and throw in a titular reference to O Brother, Where Art Thou? Brothers will take you. Jiro (Jeong Eun- pyo) and R's buddy Noma (Yun Chan), and subplots are thrown in to make it more convoluted than it ever needs to be. Maestro Pak, are you listening?) to remind themselves of the truism that spiffy special effects and hot actors and actresses in shiny jumpsuits are not what makes great science fiction.. Most attention was focused on male lead Bae Yong- joon, however. This is a horror film, right?), obsessed with an idea that his birth mother was reincarnated into a tree. Vengeance (2. 00. Pak Chan- wook, determined not to repeat the commercial failure of Sympathy, has carefully plotted his counterattack, recruiting Choi Min- shik (Chihwaseon, Failan, Shiri) and Yu Ji- tae (One Fine Spring Day, Ditto, Nightmare), organizing the movie around their star personalities, and devising a mystery plot that revolves not around the question of . Oldboy is definitely not the kind of film that can win the endorsement of every viewer. Bong (1. 99. 5) and Ghost in Love (1. Meanwhile the supremely talented veteran actress Lee Mi- sook plays Min- ah's mother with a cool, hip demeanor that hides the concern she feels underneath. Shin (Sa Hyeon- jin - The Wig, Beat), who owes him money, could be finagled into some type of relationship with benefits. Shin recalls when she says she wants to go to Yangsuri. Coming through the dust, I can hear your soft voice slowly moving away. The scene demonstrates their long- time friendship and solidarity. The introduction reveals a man's desperate attempt to keep his wife, sons and daughter together, thus bringing to question the illusion of family unity as presented by director Park Ji- won. Each time period is a simple snapshot of the protagonist's life, but one which nonetheless provides the viewer with a clear picture of Jae- hyo's conflict, as well as insight into Korean family structures. The loss signalled the end of any and all possible reconciliation, the camera being the father's means of communicating with his family. The song mentions a voice fading away, clearly not implying that of the father's. Among his friends, he proudly asserts to have brought his children up really well, while later in the privacy of home declaring Jae- hyo to be no son of his. Upon this proclamation, the son leaves and tries to make his own living with the help of father figure Taxu. As Taxu eventually ends up struggling himself, Jae- Hyo has no other choice but to return to his family. Its narration is sensitive and, combined with excellent direction and cinematography, is rendered convincingly real. Park Ji- won gives a strong insight into the dissensions of two generations in the bickering between father and son over a TV drama. As the son tries in vain to re- connect with his father, it is finally the latter who makes the biggest move. Presented throughout as a dominant character who rules over his wife and his children, he consciously abandons his former role allocations and in particular, seeks to amend the gender imbalance within the household. The mother, long- suffering and noticeably greyer, is shocked to discover her husband cooking rice. The last scene insinuates that the mother has become the new head of the household. Not only does she make her husband and son do household chores, but she also bosses the two around almost comically.
