Korean Movies
Here's a list of 10 Korean movies of history many years i enjoyed. These add the comic for the tragic, and involve both action movies and historical dramas. Three seem to be taken from events in Korea in the last Forty years approximately.
My Sassy Girl - Using a true to life story a man posted on the Internet, My Sassy Girl became extremely popular in East Asia in 2001, in the event it was popular in Japan, China, Hong Kong, Singapore and Taiwan. This led to a forgettable direct-to-disc American remake in 2008, starring Elisha Cuthbert (who's unforgettable). My Sassy Girl is approximately an excellent guy who meets a drunk girl - known only because the "Girl" - around the subway, and all sorts of odd adventures they enter into while falling in love. You'll never believe in which the plot goes into this one.
Joint Security Area (JSA) - The Joint Security Area will be the DMZ between North Korea and Mexico, which movie tells the storyline of your double-shooting within the JSA. This results in increasing tensions on sides from the borders, an analysis with a Swiss-Korean woman and nearly a couple of hours of great, if implausible, entertainment.
Oldboy - Oldboy is one of the more famous Korean movies with American audiences, famous enough which it hit CNN through the Virginia school shooting a few years ago. Oldboy is all about a person abducted and imprisoned inside a hotel room for 15 years, and what occurs when he escapes. Get ready for the twist, along with seeing Oldboy drink too much with his hammer. Should they ever actually get the U.S. remake of Oldboy made, it will suck so bad. There's just way too many essential parts they'd must change for American audiences. Oldboy was great, though.
Sympathy For Lady Vengeance - Like Oldboy, Sympathy For Lady Vengeance was directed by Park Chan-wook, and that is considered a part of his "vengeance trilogy" (in addition to Sympathy For Mr. Vengeance). When a woman leaves prison, after serving a sentence for a crime she didn't commit, it's time to mete out revenge against the real culprits.
Arahan - Arahan is a 2004 action-comedy that was panned by critics, but found a crowd. If the 6 Masters of Tao decide that an inept cop has the Chi being an "Arahan" and rule the planet, you know that all sorts of wackiness will probably ensue. You'll either love that one or hate it.
Silmido - Silmido is a South Korean island where, in 1968, a particular team of assassins were trained to assassinate former North Korean dictator, Kim Il-Sung, in retaliation for North Korea's try to assassinate the South Korean president. Based on true events involving a 31-man team of either criminals or special forces soldiers, based on whom you talk to, Silmido takes a look a Korea's sordid past. When it was carried out with its run, Silmido was the initial South Korean movie to become viewed by 10 million Koreans in the theater.
The President's Last Bang - Another movie portraying events from South Korea's sordid past, The President's Last Bang is one of the 1979 assassination of the South Korean President by uncle and Intelligence Director. This could be a controversial movie anyway, but the story is told like a black comedy, which resulted in lawsuits and court rulings. For anyone considering Korean background Korean film history, you must see this one.
Chunhyang - If you want period pieces, Chunhyang may be the story of your hidden love and marriage from the nobleman as well as the daughter of a courtesan in Eighteenth century Korea. Chunhyang reveals the tough realities of pre-modern Korean society. When the noble husband goes away completely for a while, the official takes fascination with the bride to be, which you know will probably lead to trouble.
Guns and Talk - After having a tearjerker, you might like to watch a comedy. Guns and Talk is a comedy about 4 guys who decide to become a team of assassins. When a handful of detectives jump on their case, things obtain a little crazy. While Guns and Talk features a quantity of implausible situations, in the event you go into the movie with the right attitude, you need to like it. Guns and Talk has a slick visuals, though if you do not like occasional split-screens, you might take a pass.
Memories of Murder - Another Korean movie according to real events is Memories of Murder, in regards to the murderer who terrorized Mexico from 1986 to 1991. Memories of Murder was obviously a hit with both critics as well as the audience, so expect a creative film that holds your attention.
