| (I didn't know how to call it xD) For those who haven't read the other discussion: How it works: every week we pick a movie, we watch it, we discuss it. Which movies? Every (Korean!) movie will be considered (suggestions are welcome!) We'll keep a list here in the first post and choose one every week. This week's movie: 3-iron by Kim Ki-duk (2004) Previous movies: |

| Great name...! I'm gonna watch the 1st movie right after I finish watching the Anime series I'm finishing up right now. I'm expecting a good romance movie, cause I usually don't enjoy them. As for the OP, let's simply edit it every week, so that when people enter the thread, they can just look at the OP for the movie of the week. |
| Just finished I'm a Cyborg, But That's OK. |
| I just finished it too. About the next movies: I found a few which seem interesting (but I haven't read the plots in detail.. I didn't want to spoil too much U_U) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blades_of_Blood -> action period drama *_* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Crucible_%282011_film%29 -> this one won the Audience Award at a film festival in my hometown. I wasn't able to see it there, but I was kinda curious to see what it's about http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spring,_Summer,_Fall,_Winter..._and_Spring -> no particular reason xD http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mother_%282009_film%29 -> I read a review saying that it reminds of Memories of a murder (which is my fav Korean movie so far) and I wanted to check it Wanna pick one of those or you've got some other movie to suggest? ^^ |
|
The Crucible looks good, I'd like to see that one. And I'm jealous you had a film festival around your hometown, I'd love to have one by me that goes as far as to show films from foreign locations. |
| Yep, the festival is the only good thing about this place :D The Crucible, then! I edit the OP |
|
| Just watched The Crucible, but I'll call it Silenced because I think that is the correct name. |
| Daaaamn ._. |
|
| It's mentioned here http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/art/2011/08/135_93389.html I also read somewhere that the facts described in the novel are even worst than what we've seen in the movie. But I'm not sure I wanna know the details =/ |
|
| Ah, not much mentioned on the re-examining of the case though. "'Because film is an audiovisual medium it portrays even less than the novel. Yet it is no less shocking or powerful,'" When they mentioned that the novel was worse than the movie, it's possible that they just meant that the novel was worse because it included all forms of perception not limited to only sight and sound. I'm not sure if they meant more disgusting details and events of the true story were left out. Let's watch Mother next, I've been meaning to watch that one for a while. (I also watched Memories of Murder too, it's very good.) |
| No, not many details indeed. Here there's something about the new law: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970203554104577003300408901364.html http://www.soompi.com/2011/10/31/legislation-in-response-to-the-crucible-passed/ When they mentioned that the novel was worse than the movie, it's possible that they just meant that the novel was worse because it included all forms of perception not limited to only sight and sound. Yeah, it's true. Maybe they meant it that way. OK, Mother then! ^^ |

| Hello, sorry for the late reply but the last week has been pure hell >_> Any ideas for the next movie? |
|
| Yep, Mother had an excellent second half with constant build up and a really good climax. I agree that it's probably the best out of the three we've seen. Let's try watching Blades of Blood next. |
| Ok! Take a look here: http://www.imdb.com/list/3BTc8eaeTQc/ http://www.imdb.com/list/hlxtxc3niho/ A looot of hints for the next weeks :D |
|
| Ok, just finished. A lot of blood, indeed :D Next Tuesday I'll leave for holidays. I don't know yet if I'll be able to get an internet connection while away, but I'll be back at the beginning of September ._. |
|
| Lol, it wasn't that much blood. The Japanese make bloodier action dramas than this particular movie. In fact, I wish they picked a better name than the cliche sounding Blades of Blood. But anyway, Okay, we can still decide on a movie and I'll simply know when you've seen it when you post here again. Let's watch Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter, and Spring. |
| Just watched Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter, and Spring. |
|
| Ehi, should we pick a new movie? :) |
|
| Yeah, sorry. I had something to do in college so I didn't come back here for a while. How about we watch The Chaser this week? |
| Ok! :) |
|
| Agree! This one was a good one! Should we try this next? http://www.hancinema.net/korean_movie_Yeouido.php |

|
| The Chaser We can watch it, but I can't find a good download. Got a link? |
| I found it streaming here http://www.dramastyle.com/view_theme_multi-g-Yeouido_2010_Korean_Movie_-t-5510-sq-156758.html but I haven't had the chance to check if it works yet. In case we can choose another movie easier to find ^^ |
|
| The video's been taken down, we have to watch another one... How about 3-Iron? |
| Ok! I already watched some parts of it time ago, but I never saw the end. Maybe this is the right time :D |
|
| DAMN! That was an incredible movie! I seriously wasn't expecting it to be this good, but it blew me away. I'm definitely suggesting this movie to anyone who's looking for a Korean film to watch. I'm surprised this movie isn't talked about at all, it's quite amazing. The ties between fiction and reality are just superb in this film. And how it's slowly revealed that the character can act as a ghost is just simply amazing. |
| Totally agree, I loved it too! It made me think a lot about alienation. I also liked the fact that they're outsiders, but in a way that brings them to avoid people as much as possible. Usually outsiders are troublemakers, while here the two protagonists just choose to take a step outside and they're own parallel existance. It's a different perspective. By the way, I really liked Kim Ki-duk's movies we've seen so far! Do you feel like watching more? |
|
| Yes, Ki-duk really gave his viewers a different look on people who can be classified as outsiders, or even anti-social. Sometimes, avoiding words really emphasizes the actions one makes, and is the best approach to situations. I do want to see more from him, do you have a movie in mind? |
| http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dream_%282008_film%29 this seemed interesting. Pietà (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piet%C3%A0_%28film%29) too. It did pretty well in many film festival, but I can't find it anywhere. Probably it hasn't been released yet. |
|
| Pietà will have to wait, since it will take a long time for a high quality download to come out... but it really excites me that he made such an interesting film that was released only last month! Let's watch Dream in that case. |
| No way, I can't find a version that pairs decently with the subs. Did you manage to find anything? |
|
| Here's the torrent I downloaded, http://thepiratebay.se/torrent/4623024/Ki-duk_Kim_-_Bi-mong_aka_Dream_(2008) Since this thread isn't popular, I think it's okay for us to post download links lol. |
| I suppose this isn't the Weekly Movie Thing anymore, lol. It's more like we'll post whenever we get time. Anyway, Dream was quite depressing. It was similar to The Isle in many ways, especially with the hardcore metaphors Kim Ki-Duk throws at us. Although, it was pretty straight forward overall. Tell me if you still need a download or subs btw. I found subs if you need them. |
