Recalled Mediocre but a lot of fun 6.5/10 As someone who lives for the amnesia plot, this one did well with the mystery and suspense elements that kept me engaged but at the same time so bored, the character introduction was weak and at the end I realized that I kept going because the girl has a very pretty face. Camera work is horrendous at some scenes and the twists were good but their insert into the follow of the frame didnât give me the feeling of âOH THATS THE TWISTâ. They were just there.
Anyone born as a human will witness or experience some inhuman parts of being human.
A brighter summer day 8.8/10 But... there's too much suffering... too much injustice. Such an ironic title since there is no bright summer days for this gang of misfits.. âMillions of Mainland Chinese fled to Taiwan with the National Government after its civil war defeat by the Chinese Communists in 1949. Their children were brought up in an uneasy atmosphere created by the parents' own uncertainty about the future. Many formed street gangs to search for identity and to strengthen their sense of security.â With that plotline youâd think why would this movie need 4 hours. Well it does, for you to sense that the Taiwanese identity is one of exile and stranger-hood, how when you corner someone out of their identity and they freedom of expression theyâll forcefully take back. A cast of no actors, with stolen identities trying to make it feel like home.
Street of Shame 9/10 A story about a group of prostitutes in the red light district in Tokyo before she illegal. Their back stories are the basic melodramas but that doesnât take away from their heartbreaking effect. Donât get me wrong, The women are all strong but there's that weakness that is brought on by society's double-standards, where the strongest is still weak by default. The movie contains tons of misery and unfairness so if you canât handle it donât watch, but so does real life.
âWhatâs your name?â âMickeyâ âLike the mouse....â
What can I say, the cast won me over. First off youâll feel like the mafia boy is larger than life but when met with real evil corporate it turns into the David versus Goliath situation and you canât help but root for the dysfunctional mafia family with their fun stupid antiques and comradery youâll just end up in love with most of the cast and the total run time being close to 30 hours it really makes you get attached to the cast.
The chemistry between the cast was there whether romantic or friendship or villainess, the cast seemed like a group of friends that decided to work on the project, it felt close to the regular family drama relationships which feel genuine.
A good analysis of the necessary evil was sprinkled around. Is it okay to kill if you think you are on the right side? Necessary violence and retributional justice coming from one side while the other side does the same with their vision of whatâs right was fun to analyze but never fully expanded upon.
The espressos and tailored suits and pastas, copying Italians, was my favorite part, because I love espressos, good food and suits and I feel like having the main lead go in this route may seem tacky for some but for me it was amazing, in the slower pace of the story, the team behind the drama either gives you amazing cinematography or excellent suits and food, itâs a Korean lead in Korea acting Italian and for me it was good because I got to experience both of my favorite cultures.
