Thanks hanul21! As far as buying the movies goes, i'm a war and foreign movie buff, so I dont mind downloading movies because if its good, then i'll buy it, regardless if I have seen it already. Anyways, downloading movies is like renting, just a bit cheaper.
Swedish movies... some of the best in the world, with Ingmar Bergman being the best director in the history of movie-making!
Hey, If you got some hot swedish actress in a Swedish movie with a possibility of a nudity content, i'm all in for watching some swedish movies.
ditto on Ingmar Bergman. but more importantly, weren't the Swedes the first to film p0rn? as far as Tae Guk GI goes: just bought the DVD, look forward to watching it.
did anyone see 까불지마? not the best movie but it was one of the funniest movie I've seen lately. 노주현 and 최불암 sure did lower their images, though. but 오지명......we all knew even before that he's an OG, so it was nothing special.
tae guk gi is a sad ass movie.....i just saw fighter in the wind it was alright....i heard that it is nothing near true....can anyone help?? and my family is visiting from korea and they brought a sh1tload of krn movies just saw memories of murder....great movie
Anyone want to describe the emotion after watching "Chingu" I wasnt sad, but I definitely wasnt happy. Strange feeling
Maybe it's 'the Foul King' (반칙왕 )? I haven't seen the movie, but I read something about it - and it stars Song Gang-Ho.
Nostalgia? The actual relationship between the characters and the plot weren't really that extraordinary (friends growing up together, jealousy, betrayal and then sad ending with death), but it was the accurate rendering of the Korea's recent past that really made it to be a big hit, I think. I don't think youngsters or those who grew up overseas would appreciate this movie as much as those who are a bit older and lived thru' the period of 60's, 70's and 80's et c in Korea.
Loyalty, Frustration, Kinship, Betrayal, Revenge, Nostalgia, Sorrow, Rage, Expectation, Greed, Egotism, Happiness, Love. Theres gotta be a word that describes the above homogenization.
Yeah THERE YOU GO!!! The Foul King. Yes that's the movie i'm talking about. I liked it, it was pretty hilarious.
i recommend 'barking dogs never bite' (플란다스의 개). taegukgi is a pretty good movie. but its kinda ironic that jang donggun who is never gonna be in the army played the starring role
I thought it was over-rated because it was a cheesy attempt in emulating what the United States have already mastered. I personally recommend "The Band of Brothers" (although it is not a movie nor is it even Korean) if you're into war, it's disparities, and even brotherly love (who's into that anyway). As for the movies I liked, I am not a big fan of the "$hitz - n - Giggles" genre so that pretty much excludes half of your list. As I said earlier somewhere else on the Asia Boards, I liked "봄 여름 가을 겨울 그리고 봄" very much possibly because I am heavily influenced by Buddhism. Apart from it's philosophy, it was like reading a book good - leaves you thinking about the ending, whether if it was good or bad - and probably one of those movies that feels different each time you watch it (even as you age, I presume). (btw, if anybody liked this movie other than me, watch the Chinese movie 2046) I also liked 내 머리속의 지우개. Alzheimer is always a bitch (from experience). Oasis and 그때 그 사람들 because it really shows how history can be filtered and altered by the one who is telling it (and it actually pissed me off).
Hm, some of the movies (from what I remember) that I don't mind watching again every now and then (in no particular order): JSA Someone Special My Sassy Girl Lovers' Concerto Superstar Gam Sa-Yong Hello! UFO Chingu
I think Taegukgi Hwinalrimyeo beats Silmido, Shiri, Oldboy, and Bom yeoreum gaeul gyeoul geurigo bom put together. Better acting, better story, and better music. Though I hate how they changed the title from the real English translation, "Waving the Taegukgi" to "Brotherhood of War."
