Korean Movies
Here are some 10 Korean movies of history a few years which i enjoyed. These are the comic towards the tragic, and involve both action movies and historical dramas. Three turn out extracted from events in Korea over the past 4 decades roughly.
My Sassy Girl - Using a actual life story a man posted on the Internet, My Sassy Girl became very popular in East Asia in 2001, when it was popular in Japan, China, Hong Kong, Singapore and Taiwan. This resulted in a forgettable direct-to-disc American remake in 2008, starring Elisha Cuthbert (who's unforgettable). My Sassy Girl is approximately a college guy who meets a drunk girl - known only since the "Girl" - about the subway, and all sorts of odd adventures they get into while falling in love. You may never believe in which the plot gets into this.
Joint Security Area (JSA) - The Joint Security Area may be the DMZ between North Korea and Mexico, and this movie tells the story of your double-shooting inside the JSA. This leads to increasing tensions on both sides of the borders, an investigation by way of 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 it hit CNN during the Virginia school shooting not too long ago. Oldboy is all about a person abducted and imprisoned in a college accommodation for 15 years, and what happens when he escapes. Prepare for the twist, as well as seeing Oldboy drink too much with his hammer. Should they ever actually get the U.S. remake of Oldboy made, it's going to suck so bad. There's just way too many essential parts they'd need to 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 part of his "vengeance trilogy" (in addition to Sympathy For Mr. Vengeance). Whenever a woman leaves prison, after serving a sentence for any crime she didn't commit, it's time to mete out revenge against the real culprits.
Arahan - Arahan can be a 2004 action-comedy that has been panned by critics, but found an audience. If the 6 Masters of Tao choose that an inept cop has the Chi being an "Arahan" and rule the world, you will know all sorts of wackiness will probably ensue. You'll either love this or hate it.
Silmido - Silmido is really a South Korean island where, in 1968, a particular team of assassins were taught to assassinate former North Korean dictator, Kim Il-Sung, in retaliation for North Korea's attempt to assassinate the South Korean president. Depending on true events involving a 31-man team of either criminals or special forces soldiers, based on who you talk to, Silmido requires a look a Korea's sordid past. In the event it was through with its run, Silmido was the first South Korean movie being viewed by Ten 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 his friend and Intelligence Director. This would be a controversial movie anyway, nevertheless the story is told being a black comedy, which triggered lawsuits and court rulings. For those interested in Korean background Korean film history, you have to see this one.
Chunhyang - If you'd prefer period pieces, Chunhyang is the story of a hidden love and marriage between a nobleman as well as the daughter of a courtesan in 1700s Korea. Chunhyang reveals the cruel realities of pre-modern Korean society. If the noble husband goes away for a time, an official takes fascination with the bride to be, which you know will probably cause trouble.
Guns and Talk - After having a tearjerker, you might want to watch a comedy. Guns and Talk can be a comedy about 4 guys who decide to turn into a team of assassins. Each time a handful of detectives jump on their case, things get a little crazy. While Guns and Talk has a variety of implausible situations, should you enter in the movie with the right attitude, you need to enjoy it. Guns and Talk has a slick visuals, though unless you like occasional split-screens, you could have a pass.
Memories of Murder - One more Korean movie based on real events is Memories of Murder, about the serial killer who terrorized Columbia from 1986 to 1991. Memories of Murder was a hit with both critics and also the audience, so expect an artistic film that holds your attention.
