Mari tells the story of a boy named Namoo who lives in a seaside village. His latest 'girls with guns' effort seems no different. It offers nothing we haven't seen before, and no bankable stars - at least not yet, both Lee Yo- won and Kim Min- sun could become stars in the future. But despite its derivative plot, A. F. R. I. K. A. It tries so hard to be cool, slick and funny that it forgets to take care of the fundamentals, like a script that flows well, or engaging characters. The film follows the adventures of four girls, who meet by accident and become a runaway team of idols (the film's title means .
Through robbing gas stations, stealing cars, dealing with the people following them - - a cop and a gangster, driving together! One of the film's good ideas is showcasing, with the use of pop culture references, how the girls achieve their fame. Thanks to TV and the Internet they become so famous that fake A. F. R. I. K. A. Rising star Lee Yo- won is the classic charismatic leader with an edge; Kim Min- sun the. Cho Eun- ji is the annoying, ugly duckling who we're supposed to care about, and Lee Young- jin the tough girl who often acts superior. The film does a good enough job of making this obvious, so that we take nothing seriously. But, that's a double edged sword, because at the end you don't really care about the characters.
Better is the supporting cast who really carries the film. Lee Je- rak, Park Young- kyu and company frequently steal the show from the four girls, creating a few memorable moments. There are even references to recent popular comedies like Kick The Moon, Attack The Gas Station, and My Wife is a Gangster. Not all the jokes work, sometimes the girls overact. If you're looking for a night of low- maintenance fun, without strings attached, you'll probably enjoy the antics showcased in A. F. R. I. K. A. The girl spits in his face. Offended, yet still drawn to her, he starts to devise a sinister plan: to bring her down to his level, and make her a prostitute.
His work has become quite popular with audiences in Europe. To begin with, it was released just as lead actor Jo Je- hyun was winning over fans in the hit TV drama Piano. The man himself has become the most important figure in Korean Cinema. His production company, Cinema Service, is the top distributor in the country. After a three year- long hiatus, director Kang has come back with Public Enemy, marketed strongly around the Two Cops director's new 'hardboiled' streak. And indeed he has changed.
Like his successful comedies (Two Cops, How To Top My Wife), Public Enemy uses social satire as one of its main selling points. But, in contrast with his previous works, it's grittier and much bloodier. Cho Gyu- hwan (Lee Sung- jae) is the perfect case of split personality.
When we first meet him, he's masturbating under the shower throwing profanities at his imaginary companion. Suddenly, out of the shower he's a normal family man, caring and considerate. He stabs him too, and will force Detective Kang to change his habitual ways to catch him.
And maybe change his life in the process. While Sol Kyung- gu and Lee Sung- jae battle each other through the course of the film, the usual array of memorable supporting characters tones down the harshness of the film. From Lee Moon- shik (who played the 'marine monk' in Hi, Dharma) as Mr. Math, to stage actor Kang Shil- in as the captain of the Homicide department.
From Sung Ji- roo (a staple of Korean comedies) as the green- haired drug dealer, to Yoo Hae- jin as the retired Jopok who now acts as Chul- joong's 'knife expert.' The comedy in Public Enemy is tremendously effective. And, personally, it doesn't feel forced like in many of Kang's previous films. Both the murders and the jokes are pretty graphic in their depiction, and the lack of sympathetic characters might leave people used to director Kang's directorial style a bit puzzled.
Still, Public Enemy is excellently produced, with a fantastic performance from Sol Kyung- gu (who gained 2. Kg for the role, and subsequently lost them again for Oasis. That's dedication), and really good chemistry between the two main characters. Also, unlike many of Kang's films, it doesn't overstay its welcome, even for a 1. Kang Woo- suk has made a darker, funnier and smarter film, one of the year's biggest surprises. Norden would describe as the .
Klein reminds us in his massive tome, The Vatican To Vegas: A History of Special Effects, the first special effect is argued to be the jump cut that took place in Mary Queen of Scots (Alfred Clark, 1. A few months later, Ryu made a further impression with Dazimawa Lee, a 3. Director Im Jong- jae's My Beautiful Days is one of those understated dramas that doesn't really fit conventional (commercial or arthouse) canons, which seems to spell box. Korean Cinema. The film mixes commercial aspects next to subtle performances, and a realistic characterization. The final result might seem of little importance to impatient viewers, waiting for something exciting to happen. Quite frankly, nothing much happens indeed; but it's what the characters experience during this timespan, how they grow out of it, which makes this film interesting.
This uncertain. period when doubts and fears arise often leads people to stay still, afraid. The story centers around Jun- i (Kim Hyun- sung. Resurrection of the Little Match Girl fame), a civil servant near.
He spends his free time working for Jun- i's (Myung Kay- nam). He. also has an affair with an older, married woman (Pang Eun- jin); the two rarely. Young Jun- i meets his ex- girlfriend. Byun Eun- jung), who introduces him to her sister (Kim Min- sun). He is instantly. attracted by her vitality and joy of life. What seems to intrigue him the.
The older. Jun- i is living in an emotional limbo of his own, escaping his past loves. The film moves smoothly to conclude those relationships' arc, but it's not a conventional cathartic ending. It leaves the viewers with questions, and what we witnessed seems more like a portrayal of how it feels to grow up; the mistakes we make, the encounters and relationships we experience. This is not a film that pulls you in, like many melodramas do. What matters is the fact people will most likely relate with the characters' way of coping with this difficult period of their lives. While Kim Min- sun takes her role.
In particular, Myung Kay- nam is much different - and better - than his usual quick cameos in countless films (The Foul King, My Wife is a Gangster, Go, and many others), and Pang Eun- jin does a tremendous job of conveying her character's state of mind, trying to regain her youth through her sex- based relationship with the younger, inexperienced Jun- i. My Beautiful Days is a small, unambitious film.
It doesn't have exciting plot developments, nor a conventional happy/sad payoff. But, thanks to fine performances, an interesting structure, and a fine soundtrack (by Lee Byung- woo, who wrote the score for My Beautiful Girl, Mari), it could be a rewarding experience for those who decide to give it a chance. Vengeance. After the smashing success of his breakthrough film Joint Security Area (2. Park Chan- wook had the opportunity to make just about any kind of movie he wanted. Vengeance opens with the narration of Ryu, a deaf man with bleached green hair who works in a smelting factory. The Way Home opens with a single mother who, faced with financial troubles, decides to leave her seven- year son with his mute grandmother in the countryside.
The film is set in the turbulent historical backdrop visited by Im's earlier film Kaebyok: Fly High, Run Far, but without a solid knowledge of Korean history, many viewers may feel overwhelmed, and will gain little from the captions which reference China and Japan's struggles over a weakened Korea. But he has produced much stronger work than this in the past - - films that get under your skin, rather than seducing you with their charms. After a car accident, he develops a curious case of selective amnesia. He finds clues of a past relationship, and finally decides to search out the identity of the woman he loved, with the help of friends and past acquaintances. Yeon- hee (Chang Jin- young) seems to be the only one who's helping him seriously.
