Throughout the movie, Daesu always speaks in a weird way, not like a person in real life but like a character in the book(since he had no one to talk to except himself and his notebooks for 15 years). But when it comes to the realization that Mido is his daughter and he has to stop her from learning the truth, he starts to talk to her as if worrying dad tries to soothe his daughter. This always breaks my heart.
Dae Su cuts his tongue and spit it on the water with green lighting. In Woo Jin’s flashback, Soo Ah is wearing red dress and fall to the reservoir full of green water. A lot of people get shocked by the storyline, they miss how beautiful this film is.
Although Dae-su assumes that Soo-ah had fake pregnancy, the direction of the movie suggests that she was pregnant with a high chance. In the first scene when Dae-su pulls a tie of the guy who tried to commit suicide, the guy held a dog that is innocent. Similarly, in the Woo-jin’s flashback, Woo-jin holds a hand of Soo-ah who also tried to commit suicide. The dog in the first scene can be compared to Soo-ah’s baby that is also innocent.
Strange thing to me that a filmmaker has no comment on the fact that the corridor fight scene lasted that long, was so INCREDIBLY well choreographed and filmed by the camera in a SINGLE TAKE with no cutting or editing whatsoever.
the first time I watch this I said to myself WTF did I just watch then I can't get it out of my head for like 3 days and after a week I just realized that is one of the best movie I've ever seen 😂
I really enjoyed your filmmaker’s point of view. Shots and cinematographies.. Aside from the Greek Oedipus tragedy storyline and crazy actings, this movie also has superb stylish directing I think. I heard that Edgar Wright has been a very big fan of Park Chan-Wook for a long time, so that’s why their camera shots look alike I think.
What a crazy ass movie but, still, one of the greatest movies of all-time. Btw, love your Smallville Complete Series box set. Been meaning to get one myself. I think I will now
I remember when i first went on the path of asian cinema and sometimes i feel bad that i watched all the great ones (there are allot) because what a experience it was. They are different and not standard or predictable. Welcome too dongmakgol, i saw the devil, the wailing, old boy, confessions, silenced, brotherhood of war, and a miracle in cell number 7 are some of my favs. Good luck with ur channel
Thanks for the comment and sharing some of your favorites still haven't seen I Saw the Devil, confessions, silenced, brotherhood of war, and a miracle in cell number 7 but I will.
@@nathansreviews3377 i must warn you silenced is pure drama and emotionaly draining. When i was done with it i Stared at my screen for 5 min feeling empty, drained and crushed. Its def not for the Light feinted.
Great pick mate, glad you enjoyed it. I would recommend the other two in the ‘vengeance’ trilogy. My personal favourite is lady vengeance! Would love to see you watch it. Keep it up dude 👌🏻
I hope you get to watch the rest of the trilogy. Korean movies have a certain feel to it, and you dont forget them. The emotional impact is on another level. A lot of black humour too.
@@nathansreviews3377 A lot of their movies have the concept of Han in it. I suggest you look it up, its a very interesting concept/feeling and it explains why the movies are the way they are and the feelings that you feel: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Han_(cultural)
Agreed, Irfan! That's the truth, man! I'm also a HUGE fan of the film "Memories of Murder" and a few others whose names I've forgotten sadly....I lived in S. Korea from 2003-2006 and was dating a few ladies there. One really gave me a great intro into watching Korean Films when she immediately suggested that if I loved movies, I see the film "Oldboy". That film remains in my top 5 of all time!
i love this movie with all my heart. the ant scenes you should google about... its something like symbolism from korea about psych/anxiety - i am not fully sure anymore. :) but recommend to read about it... helps giving those scenes more sense :D
Love your profile name and picture that's great! Thanks for the comment I'll look into that. Although I did listen to the directors commentary and he didn't put too much thought into the symbolism of the ants funny enough.
@@nathansreviews3377 actually... now that i rewatched the movie i can tell you that there is a scene in which Mi-do explains it .. followed by her "train moment". people that are/feel lonely experience hallucinations of ants. and thank you... too nice!!! :'D i cried watching your video........ was fun too see you review and react to it :)
Watch the transition of the revenge throught this movie flew. 1. WooJin -> DaeSu (for 15 years) 2. DaeSu -> Woojin (after released) 3. Woojin -> himself (suicide) Woojin revenged to DaeSu but after all he was the one who released his hand holding SooAh and was the origin problem of these happenings, so he finished his revenge by killing himself.
I'm a korean. Thank you for your watching korean movie. If you try to search some korean movies, you can find some amazing korean movies easily. Anyway, I love your channel. You will have many subscribers soon.
Thanks for the comment and recommendations. I have seen The Yellow Sea but it has been a while since I saw it but I definitely haven't seen The Chaser so I'll definitely look into it!
I've watched this movie long ago and promised myself to never watch it again and i never did until i saw some parts of it in this video. This movie will disgust you shock you in a good way.
Thanks for the comment! Indeed it does shock you. I can't believe the film goes the length it does, guess that's what makes it so unpredictable in the end.
i saw the remake in cinemas during a blind showing, after having seen the original a few years before. i walked out after 20 minutes it was pure garbage
Dang, shame to hear that. I quite enjoy most of Spike Lee's films, from what I've seen of him anyway. The only thing I saw of the remake was the one take fight which was nowhere near as good. The main character seemed way too much like a superhero.
Insane 🤯 at times it was bit heavy to watch and loved it!!totally unexpected and unpredictable!!Too good sir please do watch “Miracle in cell no 7” it’s THE BEST!!!🤍🙏🏻🥹

Wow that's a great observation. Thanks for pointing that out!
Woo-jin's last revenge was for the man who let go of his sister's hand. Yes. for himself...
Dae Su cuts his tongue and spit it on the water with green lighting. In Woo Jin’s flashback, Soo Ah is wearing red dress and fall to the reservoir full of green water. A lot of people get shocked by the storyline, they miss how beautiful this film is.
Wow that's a cool detail. Thanks for pointing that out!

Yeah it's excellent, I've re-watched it two times since this video. There is so many great things about it. Thanks for the comment!
beautiful soundtrack
Indeed it is. Especially the hallway fight music.

Great to hear you enjoyed it!
The story of the movie was great and their acting was great.
Indeed it was.
What a crazy ass movie but, still, one of the greatest movies of all-time. Btw, love your Smallville Complete Series box set. Been meaning to get one myself. I think I will now
Yeah it's a particular that I've enjoyed re-watching smallville and old old boy I mean. What is a favorite series of yours?
One of my favourite films of all time! Exceptional!
Indeed it is!
Great reaction, you're very engaging and fun to watch! Looking forward to more reactions.
Thanks for watching and the encouraging feedback!

@@themo881 Wow I remember feeling that way after I watched The Wailing and Train to Busan. Thanks for the heads up!
Great pick mate, glad you enjoyed it. I would recommend the other two in the ‘vengeance’ trilogy. My personal favourite is lady vengeance! Would love to see you watch it. Keep it up dude 👌🏻
Thanks for watching and the recommendation!
I like Lady Vengeance too but I prefer Oldboy of the three films.
I hope you get to watch the rest of the trilogy. Korean movies have a certain feel to it, and you dont forget them. The emotional impact is on another level. A lot of black humour too.
That's very true what you said about emotional impact. I would say that's true with The Wailing and Train to Busan.

세계 영화사에 최고의 걸작.
뭔가 리액션 보면 영화의 내용이나 유머를 잘 이해한 외국인인듯. 다른 한국영화도 리뷰해줘요~~

Thanks so much for such a kind comment! I'll definitely react to more Korean films.
@@nathansreviews3377 You are welcome! Have a great day~!
you should check out memories of murder by bong joon ho (parasite/snowpiercer director) if you've got the time. think you'll like it
Great reaction, sir. May I suggest The Chaser and/or The Yellow Sea (from same director as The Wailing).
Thanks for the comment and recommendations. I have seen The Yellow Sea but it has been a while since I saw it but I definitely haven't seen The Chaser so I'll definitely look into it!

F'd up but great right?
@@nathansreviews3377 Agree
a classic, till spike lee fvcked it up
Insane 🤯 at times it was bit heavy to watch and loved it!!totally unexpected and unpredictable!!Too good
sir please do watch “Miracle in cell no 7” it’s THE BEST!!!🤍🙏🏻🥹
Indeed it was very much an intense film. Especially that ending! Haven't heard of this one, I'll add it to my list.
Think there's a few remakes out there, so look for the original Korean version.
