Masterpiece. Made for $8.5million. How they made it for so little is incredible. Hollywood could spend $100million and not make a film this good.
At least Hollywood gives out many jobs for people with that $100 mil. So I guess it isn't that bad lol
@@abouttime2569Yes except the cast doesn’t even get paid minimum wage in Hollywood
@@xoluciaxo_3721 Really? Are you talking about extras?
@@abouttime2569 No the leads also. It's why there are all these SAGA strikes. There aren't any rules set about payments etc. towards actors so many many actors, even from major tv shows, get paid very badly. Only the really famous people get paid a lot. All the money and profits go to the higher-ups
@@xoluciaxo_3721 oh yea I think I remember Danny Trejo talking about it briefly. I didn't know it was that bad. Thanks for the info.
People always think this was a typical horror movie, then suddenly realize it's a tear jerking drama.
I have never seen a reaction channel not cry to this movie
The reason the older lady opened the door is because her older sister always made sacrifices to watch over others and the people in the car didn't appreciate her sacrifice. The other sister was nodding that she wasn't going to make it because if they tried to help her they wouldn't have time to close the door. 😭 The actor who plays the COO of Stallion almost didn't take the part because the character was so terrible of a person. I am glad he did because he played him so well. Everyone did such a great job in this movie. I had a great time watching you both react to this movie.
To this day I insist that the older lady who opened the door is worse than the selfish COO. The COO was only looking out for himself. But the other people in the train car were right to at least be worried that the others were infected somehow. If she wants to kill herself fine, but she killed dozens of others out of spite.
@@sebastianjoseph2828deserved,if your selfishness hurts my family i'm taking your Family down with me
@@sebastianjoseph2828I wouldn't say she was worse, but yeah, what she did is horrible.
However, if you see a very close family member die in front of you and the people she sacrificed herself for are acting in a dishonourable way, I understand that you would be angry and you wouldn't be thinking clearly.
@@sebastianjoseph2828 nah, I’m happy she got them all killed.
@@sebastianjoseph2828 I disagree that those passengers had reason to be worried that they were infected. By that point, they should have seen how fast and obvious the infection spreads. I have no sympathy for the people who just went along with someone because he was important in the business world. I think that is also what the movie was trying to say about them. The movie clearly had a point of view about class issues.
"until we meet again" THAT LYRIC WILL NEVER FAIL TO MAKE ME CRY
In Asian cultures, before a couple becomes "a couple" they have a formalized "confession" that they do. One party will say to the other "I like you" and then the person who hears that then has the choice of accepting or rejecting the confession. This doesn't have to be immediate, so in some ways it's like a mini-proposal, you could say. In this case, it appears that the girl made the confession, but the boy initially wasn't terribly interested in return. The girl's obviously cute and popular among the boys of the school, however, so all the friends are chanting "accept her!" to encourage him to formally date her anyway.
***
I'm told by Korean speakers that the little girl Su-An speaks in formal mode to Soek-Woo throughout the movie, and it's not until the very end when she's screaming for him to not leave her that she finally "goes informal" -- so essentially it's been "Hello Father" the whole movie, but at the end it's "Daddy don't go!" so it hits Koreans a bit harder to as it shows that they've finally bonded more closely as a family.
Her method of speaking to him changing is absolutely true.
Don’t make me cry harder pls 😭
So other ppl in world love each other without consent 😂
Regardless of how many times I've watched this movie, it makes me cry every time, and multiple times.
💯😭 I’m a father of a daughter it will get me every time
@@samwrought5650 my daughter is turning 1 this weekend, and my feels when watching this movie and YT reactions have intensified since having her 😭😂
i can’t watch the ending without crying, i literally fail every time
SAMEEEE. OMGGGG
shawdiee, same here. and damn that businessman. I've got good news. God is good because He gives His blessings to everyone, whether they be good or bad. but everyone has at least, told a lie, or stolen something in their life. and that makes them sinners, and God cannot stand one iota of sin in His presence, because He is holy. so God has to punish the sinners in hell, because God is just. but God is also love and He made a way for some to be saved from His wrath. here are the steps:
1. admit that you're a sinner and are lost.
2. realize that the penalty of sin is death (hell).
3. believe that Jesus (who is God in the flesh) died on the cross, was buried, then rose from the grave, to pay the penalty for man's past, present, and future sins.
4. trust Christ alone as your Savior, and not on your own good deeds to get you to heaven (nor a combination of faith and your self-righteous works).
5. pray to God NOW that you're following these steps because if you die before making this decision, it's too late, and you'll 🔥🔥😰
Korean movies are on another level and rival if not exceed what Hollywood puts out. Their story telling and twists and turns keeps you on the edge of your seat and the cinematography is stunning! You should definitely check out more of them. Your reaction was very genuine.
A thousand times this!!
Korean/almost all Asian always make masterpiece movie US can't come closer with their boring and repeating story they can't even make such deep meaningful story like Asian especially Korean did
The Korean movie “no mercy” 2010 f me up.
@@mev9752I will have to check it out😊
@@mev9752 That movie was a shocker...along with Old Boy. I also enjoyed Front Line, Brotherhood of War, and New World. All Korean movies.
The child actress in this deserves every award 👏
The kid couldn't sing when her dad didn't come. She sings when her dad leaves her forever (&saves both of their lives at the end). Movie I was already crying a river how much more do you want me to cry? 😂😭
Easily the greatest zombie movie of all time ❤️👏
Yeah rotten tomatoes is bae. Imdb ratings mean nothing seriously it's only great for making lists.
I've seen RT ratings swing wildly while IMDB's scale seems to be from 6 to 7 for every movie. MOVIE 1: RT 3, IMDB 6.7. MOVIE 2: RT 8, IMDB 6.9. 🤨
Alita Battle Angel (James Cameron/Robert Rodriguez director) was another (sci-fi) movie that was not rated highly critically by Rotten Tomatoes, but higher by the audicence and has a cult audience. Very good movie with a strong female protagonist with good charcter development with a star cast. A sequel to Alita Battle Angel is being discussed, now that Cameron did very well with Avatar 2.
Some things that got lost in translation:
1) The daughter speaks to her mom on the phone casually, but to her dad in honorific Korean as if he's a stranger, that reinforces that they're not close. Think about it like she's calling him Sir instead of Daddy.
2) Busan is a city on the southern tip of the Korean Peninsula.
3) When the Korean War started in June 1950, N Korea invaded and S Korean forces were overwhelmed and retreated south.
4) The SK military consolidated at Busan and they survived. So the city holds a special place in SK history as the only city that was never captured by the N Korean Army. So, Busan is historically the safest city of S Korea.
5) The NK troops were ruthless and killed everyone in their path indiscriminately, like the zombies.
One thing I'm concerned about the coming Hollywood remake: Last train to NY. I hope they are able to put a lot of thought and meaning into it and it's not just a cash grab.
I don’t even want a remake- Hollywood really does ruin most of what it touches and it will tarnish the story
I'm from Busan!
Wow I'm Korean but never ever thought about this in relation with NK invasion. Your interpretation is eye opening!
The actor who played the dad, Gong Yoo, is my favorite korean actor. His notable show is called Goblin which has probably one of the best written stories ive ever seen. He also watch his own movie Train to Busan in one of those episodes😂
Ugh seeeee, I keep putting off watching Goblin. This is convincing me...
I alsow loved him in coffee prince. This drama was very funy.
@rickking228lol he had 90 seconds in squid game
Goblin OST is GOAT too ahhhhh
@@hobiscrapbts hey another Coffee Prince fan! 👍
If you’re watching more foreign, and specifically Korean, movies due to the strike you should really check out Oldboy.
or I Saw the Devil 👌🤌
monster boy is a classic for me
@@alanchen7421i saw rhe devil is just too much for these lovely couple.
@rickking228 Nerdy is SAG-AFTRA so due to the strike they are not reacting to various things they would otherwise, so they may be watching more foreign content.
PLEASE WE NEED MORE OLDBOY REACTIONS
This isn't just a great zombie movie. This is a great movie, period.
My theory about the last minutes before people turn in this movie is that whatever was on your mind is kind of amplified in those last moments. Sang-Wha's (married dude) last thoughts are of protecting his wife and the others so he even as he's turning that's what he's doing; Stallion COO dude is scared and frightened so in those last moments he's almost like a scared little boy; Seok-Woo (main character) has only been thinking about his daughter and how to keep her safe, so his last thoughts are about her and how he loved her from the first; Seok-Woo's mother harboured hatred towards her former daughter-in-law so she verbalised it in a way she would never have otherwise.
Character development in such short time was incredible. I didn't even know I cared about the homeless guy until he sacrificed himself.
The actor who plays the pregnant woman's husband is Ma Dong Seok a.k.a Don Lee. A former MMA Trainer and he has been in several big movies. He most recently played Gilgamesh in The Eternals
Until I watched this, when it was released , Shawn of the dead was my favourite Zombie movie. Train to Busan blew me away, and took the first place spot. Absolutely masterful.
Edgar Wright might agree...he called it "the best zombie movie I've seen in forever."
Yeah it booted both Shaun of the Dead and 28 Days Later for me.
That little girl is one of the best actors I've ever seen. Male or female, child or adult. Her acting in this movie absolutely broke my fucking heart.
This reaction was so good, you edited it perfectly. Didnt cut out to much but kept the main beats....This movie is deff in my 15 all time...Well done!
I particularly enjoyed 8:30 , where they are both mellow and decide to talk to make a reaction to the movie’s lack of background music. When the attack happened outside the window, they both went bug-eyed and silent for a second, as their brains were processing what just happened.
"i thought this movie was ending."
Oh no, they haven't finished twisting the knife.
If you liked Train to Busan, I recommend any of these as well, they are all made in Korea, consists of an all-star cast, great special effects, are zombie moves and are all still on Netflix atm. 1. Sweet Home series, set in urban modern setting, 2. All of us are Dead series, urban setting, based around a high school, and surrounding city, 3. Kingdom series set in 15th century, 4. Kingdom Ashin of the North, a 2 hr movie, made after Kingdom, but in storyline it precedes the events in Kingdom, explaining how the events in Kingdom started.
There is also 2 show's titled Kingdom, and Kingdom 2 with are moves made in Japan, and are not the correct ones, that are on Netflix atm as well, so don`t get them confused with the ones I listed.
I would also add Happiness to the list of good Korean zombie shows, though it's certainly less action than All of Us Are Dead. But yes, every show you listed is excellent.
YEEEESSSS these were also my recommendations!!!😂😂😂
Kingdom is SOOOOOO freaking good oh my God
WE NEED SEASON 3 FOR KINGDOM I GET IT IT HAS A MOVIE BUT WE NEED A CONTINUATION😭ITS BEEN SO LONG😭
It's a crime the little girl wasnt given an Oscar for this performance!
When "Parasite" was in the theaters, RUclips recommended "Train To Busan." I HATE most Zombie movies, but I was hooked when The Deer got back up. The roller coaster ride through Fear, Dread, Anger and Sorrow left me drained. Kudos to the writer(s), director(s), actors, and, especially, the stunt performers for creating a Modern Classic.
Train to Busan became my favorite zombie film when I watched it when it came out, and every time I see whether it’s thru reactions or the whole film, it makes me sob. Suan’s actress is stellar, the way this little kid made me cry my heart out! I can’t remember where I read or what exactly it said but to be able to get such a heart-wrenching performance from her the director lied to her, I think he never told her that Gong Yoo’s character was gonna die until they were meant to film the scene, or something like that. Ma Dongseok (Sanghwa, barbarian dnd character) always plays this type of roles, strong father that isn’t completely law abiding, or is tough as hell, but has a heart of gold, he killed it here, if you saw Marvel’s Eternals then that’s where you saw him.
What makes this film great imo is the fact that it’s not really about zombies, these monsters are just a storytelling tool used to narrate the human condition and how we act in moments of extreme duress, while most of us will always turn into fearful and hateful creatures, some of us will rise to the occasion and act through kindness, courage, and sacrifice. The story is about sacrifice, and the things we do for those we love and those who love us. It’s about how COO dude sacrificed everyone else for himself and still didn’t guarantee his survival, but Ma Dongseok’s and Gong Yoo’s character ensured the survival of those they loved the most through their own deaths, sacrifices they made unflinchingly.
It’s a masterpiece of a film, truly.
I was sobbing like a sad baby at the end. 😭
Perfect pacing, great acting, intense shock, action and suspense throughout, set pieces unlike any I've seen before. 10/10
Train to Busan the GOAT of zombie movies.
If you guys enjoyed that, you should definately check out another korean gem: a show called Kingdom. It's been nicknamed Carriage to Busan, and is well worth a watch.
Edit: Also, Happy Birthday Clarus
YES KINGDOM IM STILL WAITING FOR SEASON 3 and its been ages😭😭😭they say S3 will release on 2021 but its already 2023😭anyways the movie i havent watched it i didnt understand a thing😭
Hands down one of the best zombie movies ever. The Korean film industry is awesome!
A lot of things most people don't consider when watching this:
-Train employees do not check their passengers, they're just their to signal when to start the train
-first zombie girl was probably walking through a car full of sleeping people because it's still early in the morning
-panic makes people run first think later
-shock makes people freeze
-the infection spreads faster if it's closer to the brain
-the dad used his hand as a muzzle on purpose so the girls wouldn't get bit
I'm glad you guys did not make most of the complaints and expectations I hear most other people make.
It's helpful, I think, to know that South Korea is a peninsula and Busan is right at the southern tip surrounded by water, so they are traveling from Seoul up north down along the whole country to the very end where everything is still save because of how it's spreading. Busan also has a strong military presence, especially the Navy, so again, it's good for quickly creating a safe barrier. South Korea's only bordering country on land is North Korea, which it already has a militarily secure boarder with, so it's even less likely the virus would spread globally. The peninsula is also very mountainous, thus all the tunnels. I think that makes the concept work especially well. Also, they hired dancers, including some bone-breakers to play some of the featured zombies. Always hire dancers to play zombies!
This is why I love foreign films and shows, they tell such compelling stories that doesn’t rely on sex, or guns or stuff like that.
Off topic I guess, but YES. I love watching foreign films like of war. For example Russians , they don’t force romance or always include it as Hollywood does in every single film . And if there’s a fight it’s mostly words not over dramatic punching whatnot. Also foreign films , how they speak is just so smooth, lmao idk if that’s weird not sure how else to say it, but much better than hearing English that’s for sure. It sounds nicer.
Baseball Boy is Choi Woo-shik, who played Kevin in Oscar’s Best Picture-winning Parasite by Bong Joon-ho.
2016 same year that Train To Busan was released, there is another South Korean horror called The Wailing, which is a must-watch. It is similar to Parasite where; it’s a mix of genre and then goes very dark, but it's a great film.
Ma Dong-seok, also known as Don Lee, is one of Korea's best badasses
start with "The Outlaws" (2017) Beomjoidosi (original title)
Can I just say, FINALLY we have some genuine reaction for this movie! I’ve seen too many fake reactions because the movie is trending on RUclips, but hands down this movie was Epic in all scales! The little killed the final act, gets me everytime! Great reaction 😎
This movie blew me away when I saw it and got me hooked on Korean cinema. I love they stories they tell.
this movie made me happy, sad, angry, really really angry, devastated, all cried out, drained thinking im all out of tears, cry again 😭
I always avoided zombie movies cause i thought they were dumb, but Train to Busan got such good reviews i had to try it. Now its one of my favorite movies.
I was surprised to see her cry. Him, I expected. Usually, she's super strong through these scenes. I ordinarily do NOT like zombie movies (I have kids, and the last time before this I saw one, it was Dawn of the Dead, and I was pregnant with my first, soooo...), but this one made me cry, too. Every time, even watching reactions, I get misty eyed, still.
At the end when they're in the tunnel you think the worst is going to happen. When they survive you think thank God it's not like the ending of The Mist. 😅
Mannn the mist ending is so damn depressing
@@kiyawilliams1811 Impactful though, isn't it
I get the same thing with the zombie apocalypse dreams! Yeah, not exactly nightmares, more just "okay this is what I have to do now"
A lot of Korean movies and shows are top tier, definitely a lot better than some, many Hollywood productions
Just subscribed. Great reaction! Three movies have made me cry like a baby, " Birdy ( 1984 ) , " Empire of the Sun ( 1987) and this one. That little girl broke me.
every actor in this film is amazing, it’s been one of my favourites since seeing it in 2017.
Just so you know, this movie has a sequel called Peninsula and an anime prequel called Seoul Station. I haven’t actually seen them, so I can’t say if they are good, just letting you know in case you wanna check them out. Also there was supposed to be an American remake called Last Train to New York this last April, I don’t know if that’s still happening.
Peninsula, I heard, is horrible. A cash grab and just set in the same world. Just a generic disaster movie. Seoul Station was pretty good as it takes place alongside this movie.
@@tkim2320 if you go to watch Peninsula with no expection, then it's a tolerable movie, but with a lot of plotholes
SK films have a lot to offer. Some suggestions to consider: Thirst, The Host, Mother, I Saw The Devil, Divine Fury, The Chaser, Howling, the Good the Bad the Weird.
I saw the devil is one of the best revenge movies I have seen. Oldboy is amazing, the American remake was decent but nothing like the original.
No mercy (2010) that one is so good
두 사람 한국인들이 엄청 좋아할 스타일이라 드라마 무빙이나 오징어게임같은 한국 콘텐츠 리뷰하면 엄청 많이 볼 듯
2 South Koreans movie that you would need to check out that's under the radar of the western audiences:
1) along with the Gods: the 2 worlds.
This is a supernatural story about life after death. Koreans believed the dead needs to go through levels of hell to atoned for their sins. The ending will break your heart.
2) The Witch part 2 : the subversion.
You will get your mind blown on the 3rd act. What an amazing movie. Action Packed!
There's a lot more to reccomend you but these 2 should be plenty for now.
Would love to see both of your reactions and take on these 2 wonderful movies. 😅
I thoroughly enjoyed watching your reation, you two are great. You both seem really sharp and insightful, not fake like a lot of other reactors, and with a deep love for good movies. I usually skip the after-reactions on videos like this, but you both have a lot of great stuff to add. Fantasic job on editing too, you hit all the right beats that made for a good rewatch. This movie has all the things, and I never expected to weep during a zombie movie either. Clarus' support through the brutal ending was so sweet. I'm not a dad, but that final flash of memories just tears the ol' heart out.
Definitely check out Korean dramas! Check out The Glory, It’s ok to not be Ok, Extraordinarily Attorney Woo, or Missing: The Other Side. There are many more but these are good starters
normally viewers who watch this movie are expected to be crying especially in the ending. teary eyes are probably the minimal other than crying. so it is not abnormal if the ending makes you cry.
Ma dong-seok aka MVP daddy was in Eternals. Should watch him in The ganster, the cop, the devil & Unstoppable!
Yeah I tend to cry when I watch this one😂
Gong Yoo and Ma Dong-seok are two of my favourite male leads.
If your looking for a series and want to see more of them, Gong Yoo in Goblin and Ma Dong-seok in Bad Guys are totally worth a watch🥰
I 100% also thought Clarus meant Edward from FMA and fully even accepted it as a good reference xD
There are some shots where you have to ask "how did they do that?". The trainyard in this with the burning locomotive is one of them. Miniatures? CGI? Full scale on location?? It's just a fantastic set piece.
It doesn't matter how many times I see this movie. I always cry. Always.
The big man is Ma Dong-seok and also played in Eternals as Gilgamesh
My favorite zombie media comes from South Korea, it's this movie and the netflix series Kingdom for me.
I love this film
Its my favorite korean zombie film. Then its kingdom which is a zombie k drama series set in medieval korea.
Theres also an upcoming american remake called Last Train to New York which will be produced by John Woo and will be directed by an indonesian director who made a horror film on netflix, i believe.
The only way it will work is without studio interference and lack of guns..lol.
I usually dont have confidence in american remakes of korean stuff since they usually butcher it like they did for Oldboy.
If you wanna check out more korean films, heres my personal list
Oldboy (please avoid the american remake)
#Alive
Burning
The Wailing
The Host
The handmaiden
The Admiral: Roaring Currents
The Call
Unlocked
Rampant
Age of Shadows
Assassination
Kill Boksoon
Exit
Extreme Job
Along with the Gods: Two Worlds
The Gangster, the Cop, the Devil
The Witch part 1: Subversion and part 2: The Other One
I Saw the Devil
Space Sweepers
I have more on my list but i think these are all worth checking out at the moment.
These are also in no particular ranking or order. :)
When this came out 2016. I was looking how American audience would react to it. I found only 1 or 2 trailer reaction then I thought maybe Americans don't like this version. Here in Asia it was pretty big so many parody from different Asian countries it was hilarious. Then during lock down I'm seeing more more Western and Euopeans reacting and liking this movie.. It was awesome.
I also love your reaction. I saw almost all types of reaction from you guys but the crying is the most endearing.
Can I request a film also a popular one in Asia, this is from Thailand called PeeMak.
The ball player with the bat waited so long to swing because they were his friends. It was hard for him to beat them even though he knew they had changed. Nice display of emotional connection.
There is a lot of subcontext in regard to Korean culture as a whole, from people more or less ignoring the initial signs of the infection to the views of the homeless and the importance of money. Things that other audiences don't exactly pick up on but in no way detract from the film as a whole. The fact that people ignore the girl attacking the train staff at the beginning is a commentary on just how insular people in the country tend to be regarding others and their problems.
All that said though, I am angered that Hollywood feels they need to "remake" this movie for a Western audience. This movie is so good, and it is art in and of itself with how well done it was made. I remember when it was released, it was almost an immediate turnaround announcement that it was going to be remade as a US. film. To think, you put your love and effort into making a superb film that has even the most jaded of zombie movie fans giving it praise, on top of being well-executed cinema as it is, and not even being able to bask in the initial glory of your achievement before somebody is talking about remaking all of it because it's not good enough for some audiences to enjoy. I say no, fuck that. If the remake ever gets done, I refuse to watch it on principle alone. This movie is great. Lightning in a bottle, and if somebody thinks there will ever be anything done in the same vein that is worthy of its praise as a derivative work, they're stupid.
You look kinda like Anya Taylor Joy when she was in the film The Menu with Ralph Fiennes lol
The pregnant woman's husband was Gilgamesh in MCU Eternals. He's the one who take care of Angelina Jolie's Thena.
Somebody needs a shirtless Armstrong hug.
I believe the setting of this movie is like if you got bitten on your neck you turn immediately, if you got bitten on your hands or other parts of your limbs it will take longer to turn
This and 28 Days later are the only two scary zombie films I actually enjoy. I usually need a full on comedy or action film to engage with a zombie film.
Not to make anyone cry again but Aloha O'e was written by the last monarch of Hawai'i and though it was originally written as a love song it became representative of a farwell to the last queen and to the independence of Hawai'i as a nation itself.
(Also theres a sequel to this called Penninsula. I havent really heard much about it but it follows a different cast)
The blue collar actor is the martial arts instructor for -- and an offscreen friend of-- our lead actor.
The acting is fantastic. Great movie
13:09 you've seen him before may because he was on Eternals, an MCU movie.
So if you’ve seen Night of the Living Dead the end of this movie is meant to evoke the ending of that movie. Which if you know that ending makes this one even more anxiety inducing.
I did and even 30 years later this ending still tromatise me.
This film is my favourite zombie film of all time. It's heartwrenching.
It takes different rates of time to turn depending on where you are bitten coupled with your own will power. Neck and head almost instant. Leg / foot takes some time. The girl in the beginning tied up her leg to slow the flow. She took the longest to turn based on bite alone. The barbarian dad was the best because he had the most will followed by the COO who was bitten in the lower extremities.
If you like the little girl, she's been in several good films - I love her in "A little princess" (nothing like the title sounds....) - it is a lttle more low key than this but a great film. Good reaction!
I was watching this movie with my mom and oh gosh she couldn’t stop crying in the end. Like she was so ecstatic in the beginning, but in the end she was heartbroken and crying non-stop, I felt like I had to pay her a therapy session
48:16 "Did she find her mom??"
I'm pretty certain the pregnant lady is now her mom 😭👍
48:55 "There's always some fucker holding a stupid ball" is legendary quot!!!!
I freaking love this film. I hope you enjoy it. Also, I hope Seven Samurai comes back around
Me watching the shadow fall from the train at the end, through tears: What a great shot 😭
That is completely true about your brain switch the apocalypse survival mode when you watch enough zombie series regularly. I told my mother how i would survive an apocalypse step by step and she stared at me for a minute and thinking and just says "you really thought everything through". Yes mom yes i did, and all because ive seen all bad and good out comes on my shows and movies 😂
The way you two mirror each other exactly is amazing. 😂 Like the moment you realized the zombies couldn't see in the dark, and when that CEO guy threw the teenage girl to save himself.
I absolutely LOVED LOVED LOVED y'all's reaction to this. It was like watching it all over again!
33:54 his name is “Ma Dong Seok” he is a fantastic actor! Please check his works! I would recommend a movie called “The Gangster, the Cop, the Devil”
Plus if want to watch a Korean show, start with “Squid Game”!, “The Glory” Or “Mask Girl”
Have you seen Moving?? This is the best drama of 2023.
Episodes 1 to 7 are normal, but it explodes starting from episode 8.
37:02 that lady was disgusted by those people and thought they didn't deserve to live and killed them all
Girl should have been a Oscar winner she is damm good ❤❤❤ she took the promise that he'll be be with him for the song so he might be there
SK has taken the Zombie genre and elevated it to a whole other level...
Kingdom, All of Us Are Dead are series but damn they're brilliant!!
Her face when the CEO tripped on the tracks totally said, "I'm not going to say it out loud, because I have manners, but that's what you get you piece of shit!"
Nobody went into watching this film expecting the Hidden Onion Village ninjas to sneak into the theater to wreck their afternoons. I love this film, and I'm so glad they pulled their punch at the very end, so it wasn't completely bleak (I couldn't handle another Martyrs or Grave of the Fireflies at that point in time).
Someone else mentioned "Goblin" as another Gong Yoo series to watch (and it's well worth it), but I'd like to toss out another that (IMO) failed to hit the bar set by both Goblin and Train to Busan, but I still think is a solid _attempt_ at a sci-fi/thriller: The Silent Sea (IIRC, it should still be on Netflix). It failed to stick the landing through no fault of the cast and crew (Gong Yoo and Bae Doona reliably crushed it, as did the rest of the cast, and the crew obviously worked damned hard on it), but rather the script itself kind of jumped the shark a bit towards the end. It definitely won't set the YT algo on fire, but it could potentially make for a fun "Here are some changes I think could've made for a better version of this tale" summary/review video.
And if you're in the mood for an older Japanese movie, Ryuhei Kitamura's Versus (1999) has a special place in my tier list of "fun bad" movies that I love showing to people in the lead up to Halloween. If you decide to watch it (even on your own time), I'll warn you now that the first 20 or so minutes are an absolute _slog_ to get through, thanks to the "serious yakuza movie is serious" tone, but the instant [redacted] happens, the film goes completely off the rails in all the best possible ways, and becomes a laugh riot for the rest of the runtime.
The old woman didn’t totally lose her humanity at the end. She knew that had the COO and the majority allowed the others in without delay, her sister would have likely made it.
If you look at their dynamic, they were always together. Something the younger sister probably didn’t like all the time, but lived with as it was their way of living. If you recall, the older sister peeled an egg to give to her sister to eat. She was always caring and protecting in the most non intrusive way, yet her younger sister would question or find a bit of overreach in her actions. The younger sister was a bit more about self, but her older sister kept her balanced through her care, wisdom and guidance. You can see her influence on display when the younger sister failed to join in on keeping the doors shut against the others. However she didn’t protest either. She just sidelined.
The moments before opening that door were pinnacle for her. No more sidelining. No more leaning on her sister for decision making, for protection, for help to guide her moral compass. She had to make a decision on her own and she made it. If you also look closely you will see that the love her older sister had within her also showed up in her behavior as a zombie. She was somewhat docile. There wasn’t any chomping and banging on the doors.
Just another display of the amazing thoughts brought into this film and the character development. 👏🏽 Bravo!!!!
Snowpiercer (with Chris Evans) is another movie that had amazing train cinematography. Korean director as well.
The most heartbreaking thing of this movie is the screaming of the kid. It’s stick in my mind
You should give the series 'Kingdom' a shot.
Now to watch you meet one of the most hated characters in media. Right up there with Umbridge xD At some point of the movie I don't even care about the zombie apocalypse or any of the people anymore, I just want that one dude to get put down lol
Train to Busan is incredible!
Parasite is a masterpiece!
And Oldboy is the OG!
❤❤❤
39:22 when Edward stop the car with his hands to protect Bella 😂
You guys missed the cue.
The little girl was sad at recital because everyone's parents are there but not her dad.
And then there's the zombilanches. There's more than one here. The train yard. The station with the soldiers. And a small one in the train car near the beginning.
I liked how it was apparent that where you were bitten played a part in how quickly you turned. The girl bitten in the leg took a while to turn because the virus needed to travel through the blood stream to the brain. She tied cloth around her leg that also slowed down the blood flow. Neck, shoulder or head bite is quick. Nicely done and kept those nuances consistent throughout the film.
ALONG with the Gods: Two worlds & Along with the gods: the last 49 days = SSS Tier!!!
You should check them out... Also the witch: part 1 subverstion!!!
Another must watch Korean Movie is "Along With The Gods: The Two Worlds". Trust me it's a must watch.
