This is more horrifying to me than the usual films with ghosts jumping out from around the corner. The more real the subject, the less comfortable the viewer.
치킨레그 the subject is real. the moral behind the story is real and the message it's trying to send is real. it's what makes it disturbing. a lot of people in asian countries, especially south korea, tend to get plastic surgery to fit in. and while that's not really a problem (getting ps for yourself), it's different when you're being pressured to do so. this film shows what some people don't seem to see in regards of the horrors of plastic surgery if it's done wrong, and also the reason behind wanting the ps. there's so much pressure in today's media and society to look a certain way. judging from your name (don't quote me on this), you might be korean. i think you'd know the problem of plastic surgery and "fitting in" in your country would be like more than i do, and it might not seem like it's an issue for the Koreans, but it's a real horrifying problem that i think people shouldn't turn a blind eye to.
@@KoreanAnimeFreakx yes I'm korean and I lived pretty much my entire life in Korea. So my perspective is quite different from western perspective but just hear me out. Like you said, it isn't a big deal in Korea, and nobody necessarily sees it as a wrong thing to do. It's true that it can be very horrifying when it goes wrong and some people can see it as a taboo thing to do, no one here is actually pressured to do so. It's something we choose by ourselves. You can have opinions of your own. But I just want you to know this fact. We aren't pressured by the standards, we just see weak points in ourselves and put effort to become the best of us. I'm not that good at english but I hope you can understand all my words.
I think the end of the film was meant to show us that in a world where everyone is the same, no one is really gonna know who you are. I think she died while having the surgery and the doctor didn't want to suffer the consequences so he took her place or had someone else took her place and no one would really know what happened. Her family just looked at the person who joined them at the table and immediately assumed it was her. You lose your life when you lose your individuality. Because then you've given up on living for yourself and started to just live to become just like everyone. There is no U in everyone. Chour hahah
With all due respect I affirmatively agree with you, but I believe that every individual has every right to look they way they want to, some feel confident in their own skin pr some might want to change that they came in it’s all about Their choice and what makes them happy at the end of the day.
I love the fact that we did not see the protagonist's face in the end. It made me want to see more. I love when stories or films are left open-ended. Also, how, when she was a kid, she made pictures of everyone else and how, in her mind, everyone looked different... then as she aged she began to draw pictures of people looking like everyone else.
It was theorized on another channel that posted this video that she had died during the surgery due to complications but while she passed away in her sleep she had dreamt that her surgery was successful and she had gone back to eat with her family with her new face
Hmm that theory actually makes a lot of sense, since it seemed like something went very bad in her dream at the end. Only for her to simply return home for dinner.
This sadly is real. I live in Thailand and I see and know people who get these surgeries and look so scary after. Very Bizarre. The nose and chin thing is an obsession. Good topic for a film. Enjoyed it.
Reminds me of a procedure done in Japan where teenage girls get their canine teeth surgically pushed forward so they stick out, because it's somehow more attractive.
Something I haven't seen in the comments is how this short film also brings attention to the hypocrisy of many people in society. When the mother and sister tell the main character that she is fine the way she is, those words ring hollow because they had chosen plastic surgery rather than accepting and embracing their natural features. They are promoting self-acceptance while doing the opposite, which obviously leads to the main character rejecting the idea of self-acceptance since no one else seems to be doing it. Society tells people to love themselves and to be individuals (especially in the west regarding individualism), while simultaneously promoting trendy, unrealistic beauty standards. I think one of the messages that should be taken from this film is that if we want future generations to love themselves for who they are, it starts with us; we have to reject the arbitrary beauty standards the media pushes and instead learn to be secure in who we are and to appreciate individuality. Kids are impressionable. We have to do better for them.
I think the end is a big ol mirror to the audience. The entire time we’re like “Why does she care how much she looks like”. But at the end of the film that’s all we care about
i wasn't wondering why she wanted it. i thought it was something they just all did at some point. we wanted to know at the end because they set us up to think something bad happened and then we didn't get to see it
For non-Korean viewers, South Korean society greatly values homogeneity more than individuality. Trends from media send powerful if brief shockwaves through casual fashion even moreso than in western countries. South Korea is also arguably the cosmetic surgery capital of the world. Double-eyelid surgery is extremely common among all ages. Just look at most of the K-pop idols and compare their often similar faces to actual Korean faces on the streets. This film demonstrates the immense pressure to conform to the unnatural "beauty standards." An example of an actress who has not had the eyelid surgery would be So-dam Park in the award-winning movie Parasite. Compare her to most of the other women in the cast or K-pop female idols in general. I'd also add that the title in Hangul (Korean language) at 1:01 and the main protagonist's name are "in-hyung" which means "doll" in Korean, although the title says "human form," which may be a more nuanced meaning, I guess. I just remember one of my favorite songs by K-pop group BabyVOX was "Inhyung" (doll). Edit: Another amazing detail of this film is that the artificial faces are shaped similar to traditional Korean Hahoe masks used in folklore theater.
Wow! Thank you for the explanation, that sure is interesting. I wasn´t sure why would she gave away her beauty for this pitiful parody of the mask... well I knew she wants to look like them but, I wasnt sure WHY THEY look like that.
The reason they don’t show her face in the end is to focus your attention as to WHY you need to see it. People get so preoccupied with wanting to see the result of a plastic surgery so they have something to compare.
That's deep. I honestly just wanted to know if the protagonist is happy or not with the new face. I mean... I want a feedback you know, I want to know the reaction. I hate questioning things like this :')))
What people wouldn’t do in the *face of desperation. 1. (pun intended) More like he botched her face. Imagine a health system ran by the government with tax papers dollars, Or going to some hack job because her/his prices are rock bottom. If you notice the friends face looked more “natural look.” This tells me money goes a long way- for a more natural look. The family seems ashamed of thier dysphoria. Honestly it wouldn’t matter how great things turn out After the bandage is removed. Why? Because your plastic surgeon job: is to pick out your pseudo- flaws, low key judge you, overdose you with gaslighting ⛽️tactics. Plus everyone will be sooooo jealous of you! Why is that? Because you look sooo much better then they do. You can wear your money on your face and various body parts. Not to mention: good bad or ugly, plastic surgery is a social status. Don’t you like to climb trees 🌳? 😕 after 500,000 and 30 revisions later or you gonna look like them Ken dolls that live off truly 🤣 I kan’t 😜 I’m sure She looks gruesome. oof 😬 Welp, looking at this short: reading comment(s), suggestion(s), critique(s), and, virtual applauds 👏 . and shedding light on a serious situation without making any judgments calls, The team did an excellent job in, subtly express to the viewer the sadness, pressure, and, suffocating from the loneliness😵💫 . The surgery IS 🙄 a new lease on life! The Society Status Quo will be kept, Resistance is futile. I could say more but I’m super sick in the hospital. The doctor will 💀.az look you in your face, knowing you look like cat woman, a freak of nature. All you have left is a Play-Doh Face. Great pain distraction I enjoy your shorts! Thanks.
I'm going to be honest, this was more sad than scary. to me the girl wants to look like everyone else, but she should love how she looks like. In general in the world, everyone should take pride in what they look like instead of shaping themselves be accepted by those around up. don't change yourself for other peoples perspective, love urself.
I think the reason why her parents and her sister didn’t give her permission to doing plastic surgery because they’re know she’s real, beautiful and too late to them, back to their normal form, she’s a the human form
Or it could point out the hypocrisy of a society that's so fixated on looking "effortlessly beautiful" with "no makeup makeup" when underneath people are taking knives to their faces to achieve that insane beauty standard. Furthermore, her mother could have been taught to love her daughter no matter what she looks like, but she never sounds convinced, never really tries to tell her daughter what she finds beautiful on her daughter's face. She even says "you're just a kid" which implies that she doesn't oppose to the surgery, she just thinks it can wait like how your parents don't let you get a car at 15 because "you're just a kid," and she even permits it eventually but refuses to take responsibility for it because she doesn't want to be the mother who doesn't love her daughter unconditionally.
This is what social standard is...... When everyone around us tell something is beautiful which is really not...we are pushed to accept it.... and loose the real beauty.... Never do something because everyone else doing that!!!
@@leafyishereisdumbnameakath4259 I am not affected actually... I am pretty lucky for not falling into beauty trap!!!But i do understand this affects many...
Monica Taylor she died during the surgery, and the doctor sent someone else. However, her family didn’t notice because they all look the same after plastic surgery.
This is a very light case considering what the video is about, but I'm 29 years old, and I have a huge nose. I have always considered plastic surgery. One day, I was talking with a friend from Korea who had double eyelid surgery when she was younger. She told me that she deeply regrets it. Nothing was wrong with her eyelids the way they were. They were doing their job, and they were naturally hers. It made me look at my nose differently. It's my nose, and yes, it is quite bigger than what is considered desireable...but it is my nose. And it is doing it's job. It didn't ask to be big; that's just how it grew. It's not causing any medical problems, so there is no need to fix it. Now I have grown to accept my nose for what it is. 😊
I’m 19, I have a different nose too, I was called names like "pinnochio" when I was younger at school, it made me hate it, even though my nose did nothing. I still feel a little insecure and always think about surgery but the fact that I am a masterpiece made by God is bringing me satisfaction. At least my family never complained about it, I feel like I am perfect just the way I am.
@@Misscandleswhen i was in grade school i was made fun of the shape of my nose. They said the tip looked like a bird's beak. I used to hate my nose. But as years went by, people complimented it, they said it looked nice. I didn't have surgery and glad i never did.
I feel like a world like this is on the verge of becoming reality, if it hasn't already...I like the small little "flaws" on people's faces...it gives them character. (Edit) I think that the people who have gone through serious trauma, like being burned or cut, they can choose whether they want to accept their new face or try to get back their old one (everyone can choose if they want to or not, but these people in particular). But society is pushing onto us what the word "ugly" means, not ourselves, and that is what is prompting people to look at themselves and want to change.
Amazing makeup effects. The movement of the mouth and eyes are awesome. The theme was spot on for society's obsession with what is considered ideal beauty.
Those altered faces are truly the stuff of nightmares. Imagine wanting to surgically alter your beautiful face to look like some kind of anxiety inducing creature just because everyone else is doing it. A terrifying thought indeed.
This is by far one of the most artful short horror film I have ever watched. So culturally insightful, not on the surface level, but as to how the grip it has on human lives and our emotions affects us deeply on so many multiple layers.
*I think she died and visited her house as a ghost, but nobody (at least not her own family) could acknowledge that it was a tragedy, or that they've killed her.
I would love to learn how horror movie creators make the atmosphere look/feel unsettling. The intro. and her bedroom- everything is perfectly fine, and would almost be sweet, but the angle of the camera and the empty wall, and the design of her bed all make it really feel eerie. It’s sorcery! 💜
for those wondering why her face isn’t shown at the end - you don’t need to see what it looks like, just look at the faces of her family members. they all look the same, and so does she.
love this one. one of the few horror shorts I have watched more than once. at the same time, it is both disturbing and emotional. you feel for the main character but fear for her as well. the ending is ambiguous, and it leaves something to be discussed, which is a huge plus in my book. very well done.
Im a Filipina and Im happy that my country is starting to accept natural complexions.. surgeries are there, and are considered as a part of self care, and the person's choice. But in general, women where I live never felt the pressure to change.. or we just dont give a fuck to everyone else's beauty standards.
Nope, Filipino's in general aren't open minded at all. They love to judge those people done surgeries and comment a lot of bible verse. Pretty hypocrites I can say
i'm a filipina and i dont think this is true.. maybe in sides of social media where ph is more open minded yes, but just ph in general,,, i dont think so... dont even get me started with the amount of skin whitening products shown in eveyday television
yup that's what happens when you live in an atheist society. I hope phillipines can get rid of their disgusting pagan shamanic tribal culture and come to Christ
Unless you got into an accident or something I see people doing face surgery because they are insecure about they own looks. People need to learn how to love themselves

Reminds me of Twilight Zone’s “Number 12 Looks Just Like You” and “Eye of the Beholder”. The fact that TZ still still inspires new shows and filmmakers to this day prove that a lot of themes explored by TZ are still as relevant. Twilight Zone truly is way ahead of its time.
Yes. Rod Serling and the writers of the episodes were ahead of their time, for sure. I wish they could’ve been wrong about some themes but with human nature nothing is new under the sun.
Wonderfully eerie, tragic, and different, I do love the diversity of this channel. In spite of the frustration factor, I think hiding her face at the end was a good move, playing into the "too horrible to show" sort of resolution, and defying expectations - I love how long the direction waits in this before revealing the bizarre, uncanny valley faces of the supporting characters, and we anticipate the same with hers, only for it to cut to black and leave our imaginations racing.
I somewhere watched this story in a short and they interpreted it as the girl died in the surgery and a replacement was sent to her home. Just like this, everyone who ever had surgery before her were also dead and their replacements were sent back. The members knew the truth and hence weren't shocked at the end but also were not pleased. This interpretation leaves us with a thought that some community is slowing replacing us normal people....maybe all the people in her community know the truth and want everyone normal to get dead....well there are endless conclusions for the story
The ultimate shoutout to global society. Everyone's so afraid of their flaws that we feel it'd be safer to look just like everyone else, not realizing that our "flaws" are what make us unique.
Yes plus a terrifying obsession to appearance...as if us Humans were not so much wanting in other corners of biological facts. But I guess conformism is a thing, and usually gets satisfied with appearances...
I really like the concept of the film. It shows how strict are korea's beauty standard's and how everyone get's plastic surgery to fit into those beauty standard's, making half of the population look same ( no offence ) And how it effect's Youngsters for them to have low self-esteem then other's and urging to have plastic surgery, in order to fit in the beauty standards. Its not only korea but many other countries, not saying that plastic surgery is not good or something, ofc we all have the right to do what we want but forcing and commenting on peoples looks is not healthy for them.
My interpretation is that her face is beyond botched and notice how the whole family stops when she sits at the dinner table and looks at her maybe because to remind her what she has done to her face and they have to tolerate her "ugly" face cuz it's not upto their standards of beauty. She did free surgery and signed a contract so now she cannot even sue the doctors or anything.
@@neverthesame7887 Yeah I agree with all of her explanation but I don't think the girl died. When she was in the operation table with her face covered in bloody bandages notice that the machine was still beeping so I think she survived but lost her face forever. Also if they had sent someone else with the standard "beautiful" face they wouldn't have stopped and stared at her at the dinning table cuz she would have been normal according to them. When they stared that means her face is maybe horrendous may I say or botched beyond repair.
I@@zethraelofteldrassil3149I think that's even sadder than her dying. She has to spend the rest of her life in this judgemental, shallow society like that
A good argument for accepting one natural beauty. Being who we are and not trying to fit in is best. Those who accept you for who you are are your real friends and family. As long as you don't go overboard with it. Nicely done.
The movie has beautifully portrayed how people keep trying to change their perfectly unique looking pretty faces to one single beauty standard face that makes everyone make look the same
A great plot. Adults often do not let teens do things that they themselves do openly, saying that "there's no need to rush". But obviously children do not understand it, so they do it before realizing it might not be that good for them
The suspense at the end....whew! Well done! I love that there's no gasp or shock when she's finally noticed at the dinner table. That has me wondering!
My theory is that she went through with the surgery and survived. She goes back home after the surgery and sits down at the table. After some time her family looks at her. If you look closely at 9:29-9:30, you can see her chest moving meaning that she is alive. I think that the surgery went wrong because if you go back to 9:16, the doctor says, "Damn, I'm in trouble." She goes back home, and like I said earlier, after some time, her family looks at her. I thought that maybe her face was severely botched and that she had looked different from her family. We also don't know how her family reacted because their face is basically their only emotion. NOTE: Sorry if my explanation was terrible. My theory is probably stupid, but I hope you can see why it kinda makes sense 😖. This is just my opinion on what I've seen and read in the comments to come up with my theory. Keep up the great work Alter.
This is literally so good I just love it the stillness of the camera to the way noice is unnatural and odd and the pure anxiety of it overall and at the end when they all stop and turn together and just look they don’t do anything other than look and I think it’s great!👀💖👏
I think the saddest part of the film for me was when they mentioned dogs getting surgeries too. Like, barking surgeries!? I bet the dogs were in so much pain and the alterations made them so uncomfortable. Imagine someone taking away your voice because they hated hearing you speak. That's so cruel. I bet they give the dogs face and body alterations too. I hope our world never comes to that. Its so inhumane.
This is like something taken straight from Black Mirror, and I love it. What makes it truly terrifying is that it could become a reality, and already is in a sense. Nowadays people are so focused on their fake lives and appearances and “fitting in” that no one shows their true, authentic self anymore. Imagine a world in which fake is the new norm… we’re already living in it.
In Korea plastic surgery is very popular and it has become a common practice for parents to pay for their children's double eyelid surgery as a graduation gift.
Although one can see the inspiration in this from The Twilight Zone's Eye of the Beholder, it was still very cool and well done. I thought the faces looked great in an eerie way. Fantastic make-up effects. I am curious not only to see her finished face, but really want to know what the heck was done to the Dog mentioned that had plastic surgery? "That dog is so handsome". Hmmm Love to see an hour long version of this story and really create a full more in-depth story. Good stuff!
I can’t seem to find a comment about this but when the dad came back, he took his daughter’s water and just started eating off the plate with his hands. But then the second time at the table, he had the plate, chopsticks, and water already. Also the lighting is much warmer and the room feels actually comfortable and live-able. It’s probably not anything to do with the plot or serve as a subliminal message, but I thought it was really interesting.
What I found scary is that I can't tell why her family said she shouldn't get the surgery. I don't know if their intention is good or bad, because they don't have any facial expressions and I don't know how they feel.
I like how the film describes plastic surgery in an exaggerated way, as it pictures the people’s distorted face which looks like wearing a mask and with no emotional expression at all. The film uses dark but striking lighting, to make the faces clearly sighted, prompting me to think “Do I like this face?”. The silent background seems to reflect life becoming less lively with these “uniform fake faces”. I think it hints this could be a “new norm” in future if we embrace this “skin-deep” beauty so much. It is alarming that people not just attempted to this modern popular culture, but have to adapt it in order to fit into society.
Yes, I agree with you. The film puts me in the shoes of the protagonist. The environment educates her to gain “beauty” through plastic surgery and she is psychologically distressed when unable to comply with it, especially under peer pressure. She has to fit into the environment. In the last scene, the dining with only the diegetic sound and the open endings makes people sink in thinking. It creates a greater awareness when people start to think.
It was great, OMG. It makes me to think of real life, and how nowadays people are going to be just like each other. THANK YOU FOR REMINDING US HOW IMPORTANT OUR NATURAL BEAUTY IS, ALTEEER❤

It’s sad with all the pressures of society growing up, all you see is a certain body type growing up and it makes you as an individual think there is something wrong with who you are. Eventually building up a high standard you can’t achieve which causes emotional damage .. it’s a sad world
I agree with you Kandi. The first thing I thought about was the episode from the twilight zone. That said, I love Alter’s shorts. Most are better than big budget feature films. I look forward to the alerts of the next film.
What a bold and clever social commentary for SK's 'perfect image' society. Applaud the Director/Writer(s)/Producer(s)/Film crew/etc. for this piece of art. 👍 There is always a price to pay for perfectionism. 💔 Change can't happen overnight but this film served as a nudge to SK that hopefully one day their society embraces individuality in the near future to eliminate the many psychological/financial/mental/physical/emotional lifelong anguish and consequences of trying to 'fit in'.
Honestly when I started the film from the drawings I thought maybe this is about some alien human mixing in a futuristic world. Turns out is about current day vanity. Strong message.
This is awesome! I love analysing films, and this is one I’m going to think about for quite a while. I also love the design of the end result of the popular plastic surgery; the team member(s) who designed this look did an incredible job at making something so pretty it becomes uncanny! The ending is so spooky and sad. Great film, 10/10
I think that This short film is showing that beauty is what we made of it, we’re constantly searching for perfection not knowing we already are perfect on our own
I love this film! The love the topic which, according to me, tells us that we don't have to be like others when we have our own unique and rare personality, whether it is mentally, emotional or physically.
Great short film it shows how social norms influence a person's self esteem and perception on beauty; and what lengths a person would go through to be like everyone else

Surgery ruins a person's natural looks. Never mess with nature. Come on now that's too far fetched. They don't look lile that after surgery.

For non-Korean viewers, South Korean society greatly values homogeneity more than individuality. Trends from media send powerful if brief shockwaves through casual fashion even moreso than in western countries. South Korea is also arguably the cosmetic surgery capital of the world. Double-eyelid surgery is extremely common among all ages. Just look at most of the K-pop idols and compare their often similar faces to actual Korean faces on the streets. This film demonstrates the immense pressure to conform to the unnatural "beauty standards."
An example of an actress who has not had the eyelid surgery would be So-dam Park in the award-winning movie Parasite. Compare her to most of the other women in the cast or K-pop female idols in general.
I'd also add that the title in Hangul (Korean language) at 1:01 and the main protagonist's name are "in-hyung" which means "doll" in Korean, although the title says "human form," which may be a more nuanced meaning, I guess. I just remember one of my favorite songs by K-pop group BabyVOX was "Inhyung" (doll).
Edit: Another amazing detail of this film is that the artificial faces are shaped similar to traditional Korean Hahoe masks used in folklore theater.
Wow! Thank you for the explanation, that sure is interesting. I wasn´t sure why would she gave away her beauty for this pitiful parody of the mask... well I knew she wants to look like them but, I wasnt sure WHY THEY look like that.
Thanks I was wondering about that.
Thank you for the explanation. That is kinda sad.
They don't look similar at all. It's an exaggeration. Take away the hair, makeup and styling, all their faces are different with or without PS.
Scotoma Video Thank you for providing insight.
The reason they don’t show her face in the end is to focus your attention as to WHY you need to see it. People get so preoccupied with wanting to see the result of a plastic surgery so they have something to compare.
Curiosity is healthy and perfectly natural.
That's deep. I honestly just wanted to know if the protagonist is happy or not with the new face. I mean... I want a feedback you know, I want to know the reaction. I hate questioning things like this :')))
What people wouldn’t do in the *face of desperation.
1. (pun intended)
More like he botched her face.
Imagine a health system ran by the government with tax papers dollars, Or going to some hack job because her/his prices are rock bottom.
If you notice the friends face looked more “natural look.”
This tells me money goes a long way- for a more natural look.
The family seems ashamed of thier dysphoria.
Honestly it wouldn’t matter how great things turn out After the bandage is removed. Why? Because your plastic surgeon job: is to pick out your pseudo- flaws, low key judge you, overdose you with gaslighting ⛽️tactics. Plus everyone will be sooooo jealous of you!
Why is that?
Because you look sooo much better then they do. You can wear your money on your face and various body parts.
Not to mention: good bad or ugly, plastic surgery is a social status.

@@equinxplayer8395 she died
I'm going to be honest, this was more sad than scary. to me the girl wants to look like everyone else, but she should love how she looks like. In general in the world, everyone should take pride in what they look like instead of shaping themselves be accepted by those around up. don't change yourself for other peoples perspective, love urself.
I think the reason why her parents and her sister didn’t give her permission to doing plastic surgery because they’re know she’s real, beautiful and too late to them, back to their normal form, she’s a the human form
That sounds reasonable. Maybe. Either way, very good point. 🕸️
Bt the thg is even her frnd
Or it could point out the hypocrisy of a society that's so fixated on looking "effortlessly beautiful" with "no makeup makeup" when underneath people are taking knives to their faces to achieve that insane beauty standard.
Furthermore, her mother could have been taught to love her daughter no matter what she looks like, but she never sounds convinced, never really tries to tell her daughter what she finds beautiful on her daughter's face. She even says "you're just a kid" which implies that she doesn't oppose to the surgery, she just thinks it can wait like how your parents don't let you get a car at 15 because "you're just a kid," and she even permits it eventually but refuses to take responsibility for it because she doesn't want to be the mother who doesn't love her daughter unconditionally.
The placement of the commas 😵💫.
No lol literally every person in this world has it. Everyone.
This is what social standard is...... When everyone around us tell something is beautiful which is really not...we are pushed to accept it.... and loose the real beauty.... Never do something because everyone else doing that!!!

@@gmasha_qtr wtf how you know
@@skyline2344 It's not my interpretation. I watched the movie before, and this was one of the viewers explanation.
This is a very light case considering what the video is about, but I'm 29 years old, and I have a huge nose. I have always considered plastic surgery. One day, I was talking with a friend from Korea who had double eyelid surgery when she was younger. She told me that she deeply regrets it. Nothing was wrong with her eyelids the way they were. They were doing their job, and they were naturally hers. It made me look at my nose differently. It's my nose, and yes, it is quite bigger than what is considered desireable...but it is my nose. And it is doing it's job. It didn't ask to be big; that's just how it grew. It's not causing any medical problems, so there is no need to fix it. Now I have grown to accept my nose for what it is. 😊
We need more diversity in noses on women. Everyone has the same boring button nse6
I’m 19, I have a different nose too, I was called names like "pinnochio" when I was younger at school, it made me hate it, even though my nose did nothing. I still feel a little insecure and always think about surgery but the fact that I am a masterpiece made by God is bringing me satisfaction. At least my family never complained about it, I feel like I am perfect just the way I am.
You’re beautiful, and your nose is beautiful, and it doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks, keep loving yourself.
@@kyrak.4143more like looking lord Voldemort, nose disappearing
@@Misscandleswhen i was in grade school i was made fun of the shape of my nose. They said the tip looked like a bird's beak. I used to hate my nose. But as years went by, people complimented it, they said it looked nice. I didn't have surgery and glad i never did.

I feel like a world like this is on the verge of becoming reality, if it hasn't already...I like the small little "flaws" on people's faces...it gives them character. (Edit) I think that the people who have gone through serious trauma, like being burned or cut, they can choose whether they want to accept their new face or try to get back their old one (everyone can choose if they want to or not, but these people in particular). But society is pushing onto us what the word "ugly" means, not ourselves, and that is what is prompting people to look at themselves and want to change.
Stephanie Allen agreed!

Amazing makeup effects. The movement of the mouth and eyes are awesome.
The theme was spot on for society's obsession with what is considered ideal beauty.
Moral of the story:
nobody is equal to nobody, nobody is perfect
everyone has to be the way they are
Yes. The film is not just about facial surgery lol
Those altered faces are truly the stuff of nightmares. Imagine wanting to surgically alter your beautiful face to look like some kind of anxiety inducing creature just because everyone else is doing it. A terrifying thought indeed.
This is by far one of the most artful short horror film I have ever watched. So culturally insightful, not on the surface level, but as to how the grip it has on human lives and our emotions affects us deeply on so many multiple layers.
*I think she died and visited her house as a ghost, but nobody (at least not her own family) could acknowledge that it was a tragedy, or that they've killed her.
I would love to learn how horror movie creators make the atmosphere look/feel unsettling. The intro. and her bedroom- everything is perfectly fine, and would almost be sweet, but the angle of the camera and the empty wall, and the design of her bed all make it really feel eerie. It’s sorcery! 💜
for those wondering why her face isn’t shown at the end - you don’t need to see what it looks like, just look at the faces of her family members. they all look the same, and so does she.
no, she got botched.
love this one. one of the few horror shorts I have watched more than once.
at the same time, it is both disturbing and emotional. you feel for the main character but fear for her as well. the ending is ambiguous, and it leaves something to be discussed, which is a huge plus in my book.
very well done.
Im a Filipina and Im happy that my country is starting to accept natural complexions.. surgeries are there, and are considered as a part of self care, and the person's choice. But in general, women where I live never felt the pressure to change.. or we just dont give a fuck to everyone else's beauty standards.
Nope, Filipino's in general aren't open minded at all. They love to judge those people done surgeries and comment a lot of bible verse. Pretty hypocrites I can say
i'm a filipina and i dont think this is true.. maybe in sides of social media where ph is more open minded yes, but just ph in general,,, i dont think so... dont even get me started with the amount of skin whitening products shown in eveyday television
yup that's what happens when you live in an atheist society. I hope phillipines can get rid of their disgusting pagan shamanic tribal culture and come to Christ

Reminds me of Twilight Zone’s “Number 12 Looks Just Like You” and “Eye of the Beholder”.
The fact that TZ still still inspires new shows and filmmakers to this day prove that a lot of themes explored by TZ are still as relevant. Twilight Zone truly is way ahead of its time.
Yes. Rod Serling and the writers of the episodes were ahead of their time, for sure. I wish they could’ve been wrong about some themes but with human nature nothing is new under the sun.
Reminds me of Eyes Without a Face too

Wonderfully eerie, tragic, and different, I do love the diversity of this channel. In spite of the frustration factor, I think hiding her face at the end was a good move, playing into the "too horrible to show" sort of resolution, and defying expectations - I love how long the direction waits in this before revealing the bizarre, uncanny valley faces of the supporting characters, and we anticipate the same with hers, only for it to cut to black and leave our imaginations racing.
I somewhere watched this story in a short and they interpreted it as the girl died in the surgery and a replacement was sent to her home. Just like this, everyone who ever had surgery before her were also dead and their replacements were sent back. The members knew the truth and hence weren't shocked at the end but also were not pleased. This interpretation leaves us with a thought that some community is slowing replacing us normal people....maybe all the people in her community know the truth and want everyone normal to get dead....well there are endless conclusions for the story

The ultimate shoutout to global society. Everyone's so afraid of their flaws that we feel it'd be safer to look just like everyone else, not realizing that our "flaws" are what make us unique.
Yes plus a terrifying obsession to appearance...as if us Humans were not so much wanting in other corners of biological facts.
But I guess conformism is a thing, and usually gets satisfied with appearances...
I love this! It’s basically explaining how it feels to be considered ‘different’ by others
직접적으로 무서운주제를 다룬 영화는 아닌데 보면 기괴하고 꿈에 나올것 같음..
오 한쿡어다
I really like the concept of the film.
It shows how strict are korea's beauty standard's and how everyone get's plastic surgery to fit into those beauty standard's, making half of the population look same ( no offence ) And how it effect's Youngsters for them to have low self-esteem then other's and urging to have plastic surgery, in order to fit in the beauty standards. Its not only korea but many other countries, not saying that plastic surgery is not good or something, ofc we all have the right to do what we want but forcing and commenting on peoples looks is not healthy for them.
My interpretation is that her face is beyond botched and notice how the whole family stops when she sits at the dinner table and looks at her maybe because to remind her what she has done to her face and they have to tolerate her "ugly" face cuz it's not upto their standards of beauty. She did free surgery and signed a contract so now she cannot even sue the doctors or anything.
I think USER 1126 pegged it perfectly, but your interpretation is a possibility as well.
@@neverthesame7887 Yeah I agree with all of her explanation but I don't think the girl died. When she was in the operation table with her face covered in bloody bandages notice that the machine was still beeping so I think she survived but lost her face forever. Also if they had sent someone else with the standard "beautiful" face they wouldn't have stopped and stared at her at the dinning table cuz she would have been normal according to them. When they stared that means her face is maybe horrendous may I say or botched beyond repair.
@@rosascarlet5833 I agree. The surgery was botched, and she looked disfigured by their standards. Be careful what you wish for!

7:54 - Her beauty is such perfection that she already looks like a doll.
A good argument for accepting one natural beauty. Being who we are and not trying to fit in is best. Those who accept you for who you are are your real friends and family. As long as you don't go overboard with it. Nicely done.
The movie has beautifully portrayed how people keep trying to change their perfectly unique looking pretty faces to one single beauty standard face that makes everyone make look the same
The fact that they don't show her face is just genius, I love it
I can't even imagine having to live in a world full of people like " the other mother" ..
V for Vendetta mode switched to ON 😂
Glad it wasn't just me, who thought so.
Shit is creepy af
Whoever made this story did an excellent job of making this film
Thought that it was an actual movie. This is so well done! Love every single piece of your work.
I am so glad that in my country plastic surgery is not so famous in common peoples. I would have pissed if everyone around me had these plastic faces.
I think the fact that we really want to see the face at the end is also a commentary on our own fixation with her appearance.
A great plot. Adults often do not let teens do things that they themselves do openly, saying that "there's no need to rush". But obviously children do not understand it, so they do it before realizing it might not be that good for them
Well, except foreskin. It's amputation is always rushed somehow.
The suspense at the end....whew! Well done! I love that there's no gasp or shock when she's finally noticed at the dinner table. That has me wondering!
My theory is that she went through with the surgery and survived. She goes back home after the surgery and sits down at the table. After some time her family looks at her. If you look closely at 9:29-9:30, you can see her chest moving meaning that she is alive. I think that the surgery went wrong because if you go back to 9:16, the doctor says, "Damn, I'm in trouble." She goes back home, and like I said earlier, after some time, her family looks at her. I thought that maybe her face was severely botched and that she had looked different from her family. We also don't know how her family reacted because their face is basically their only emotion.
NOTE: Sorry if my explanation was terrible. My theory is probably stupid, but I hope you can see why it kinda makes sense 😖. This is just my opinion on what I've seen and read in the comments to come up with my theory. Keep up the great work Alter.
This is literally so good I just love it the stillness of the camera to the way noice is unnatural and odd and the pure anxiety of it overall and at the end when they all stop and turn together and just look they don’t do anything other than look and I think it’s great!👀💖👏
I think the saddest part of the film for me was when they mentioned dogs getting surgeries too. Like, barking surgeries!? I bet the dogs were in so much pain and the alterations made them so uncomfortable. Imagine someone taking away your voice because they hated hearing you speak. That's so cruel. I bet they give the dogs face and body alterations too. I hope our world never comes to that. Its so inhumane.
Well people already do amputate dogs tails for cosmetic reasons
This is like something taken straight from Black Mirror, and I love it. What makes it truly terrifying is that it could become a reality, and already is in a sense. Nowadays people are so focused on their fake lives and appearances and “fitting in” that no one shows their true, authentic self anymore. Imagine a world in which fake is the new norm… we’re already living in it.
In Korea plastic surgery is very popular and it has become a common practice for parents to pay for their children's double eyelid surgery as a graduation gift.
Although one can see the inspiration in this from The Twilight Zone's Eye of the Beholder, it was still very cool and well done. I thought the faces looked great in an eerie way. Fantastic make-up effects. I am curious not only to see her finished face, but really want to know what the heck was done to the Dog mentioned that had plastic surgery? "That dog is so handsome". Hmmm
Love to see an hour long version of this story and really create a full more in-depth story. Good stuff!
This is very good. And whoever did the faces did an amazing job!
In my opinion, As a 9 yr old viewer, Its scarier when the topic is more realistic! Not just the normal, ghost jumpscare types. Love ur stuff!

I can’t seem to find a comment about this but when the dad came back, he took his daughter’s water and just started eating off the plate with his hands. But then the second time at the table, he had the plate, chopsticks, and water already. Also the lighting is much warmer and the room feels actually comfortable and live-able. It’s probably not anything to do with the plot or serve as a subliminal message, but I thought it was really interesting.
What I found scary is that I can't tell why her family said she shouldn't get the surgery. I don't know if their intention is good or bad, because they don't have any facial expressions and I don't know how they feel.
She didn't really need the surgery tho. She was already very pretty!😍
I like how the film describes plastic surgery in an exaggerated way, as it pictures the people’s distorted face which looks like wearing a mask and with no emotional expression at all. The film uses dark but striking lighting, to make the faces clearly sighted, prompting me to think “Do I like this face?”. The silent background seems to reflect life becoming less lively with these “uniform fake faces”. I think it hints this could be a “new norm” in future if we embrace this “skin-deep” beauty so much. It is alarming that people not just attempted to this modern popular culture, but have to adapt it in order to fit into society.
Yes, I agree with you. The film puts me in the shoes of the protagonist. The environment educates her to gain “beauty” through plastic surgery and she is psychologically distressed when unable to comply with it, especially under peer pressure. She has to fit into the environment. In the last scene, the dining with only the diegetic sound and the open endings makes people sink in thinking. It creates a greater awareness when people start to think.
Better than recent Netflix movie "Uglies".
That’s why I came here
It was great, OMG. It makes me to think of real life, and how nowadays people are going to be just like each other. THANK YOU FOR REMINDING US HOW IMPORTANT OUR NATURAL BEAUTY IS, ALTEEER❤

It’s sad with all the pressures of society growing up, all you see is a certain body type growing up and it makes you as an individual think there is something wrong with who you are. Eventually building up a high standard you can’t achieve which causes emotional damage .. it’s a sad world
This is why you should always be happy with yourself so stuff like this doesn't happen
I agree with you Kandi. The first thing I thought about was the episode from the twilight zone. That said, I love Alter’s shorts. Most are better than big budget feature films. I look forward to the alerts of the next film.
Yay! another one from South Korea. Good job on the make-up; lovely lady protagonist, gripping plot :-)
What a bold and clever social commentary for SK's 'perfect image' society. Applaud the Director/Writer(s)/Producer(s)/Film crew/etc. for this piece of art. 👍 There is always a price to pay for perfectionism. 💔 Change can't happen overnight but this film served as a nudge to SK that hopefully one day their society embraces individuality in the near future to eliminate the many psychological/financial/mental/physical/emotional lifelong anguish and consequences of trying to 'fit in'.
AMEN!
Honestly when I started the film from the drawings I thought maybe this is about some alien human mixing in a futuristic world. Turns out is about current day vanity. Strong message.
This is awesome! I love analysing films, and this is one I’m going to think about for quite a while. I also love the design of the end result of the popular plastic surgery; the team member(s) who designed this look did an incredible job at making something so pretty it becomes uncanny! The ending is so spooky and sad. Great film, 10/10
I saw this along time ago glad it's getting more Recognition because it's a big issue in society mostly korea about looking the part.
I think that This short film is showing that beauty is what we made of it, we’re constantly searching for perfection not knowing we already are perfect on our own
I love this film! The love the topic which, according to me, tells us that we don't have to be like others when we have our own unique and rare personality, whether it is mentally, emotional or physically.
3 years later & still great.
Great short film it shows how social norms influence a person's self esteem and perception on beauty; and what lengths a person would go through to be like everyone else
