JWS and LJJ are at their peak of physical beauty here. Though performed as comedy, LJJ's solo mirror dance at the gym is fire. Wow. :P
Sadly, their characters can't see that the answer to everything is to stop pretending and go gay for each other. They are beyond in love. :)
The film's chief weakness is the FL's lack of affect. Beauty only goes so far on screen, and here it doesn't go nearly far enough. Besides that problem are several plot weaknesses I didn't catch the first time I saw this.
Damn. I wish you'd have left up your comments to this self-righteous blowhard. People like him need push-back. They drive folks away from JC and all he taught and lived. This dude's arrogant hatefulness is the opposite of Christ-like.
Remember, Jesus was "rude" on occasion to people who had it coming. Pharisees, Saducees, random false prophets, money-changers, etc.; all were lashed by his words. I think JC would rudely take issue with someone preaching prejudice, ostracism, and ignorance, using His name as cover.
not you comparing being trans with zoophilia or pedophilia DUDE go take a look in the mirror and think about what…
Your twisted interpretation of what Jesus Christ taught and the example he set by living his life is what's really hateful and ignorant. People like you, who spew imbecilic bigotry (see what I did there?), which inspires and elicits hate in others toward those you target, are about as evil as it gets.
F**k off with your juvenile fantasies of what an afterlife would look like, and your pathetic belief in things like "Armageddon." I grew up having all this nonsense pounded into me, but unlike you, I learned to use my God-given intellect to distinguish among the known, the unknown, and the cannot be known. In short, I'm comfortable with not knowing things that cannot be known by my tiny human mind. Instead of pretending you know everything, you should try some humility on for size and admit your human limits.
If there is an afterlife, its conditions are light-years beyond our meager human ability to comprehend them. I pray to God it's not a bunch of self-righteous know-it-alls like you standing around in white robes singing hymns. I would prefer Hell to that, thank you.
Please keep Jesus' name out of your mouth. Your condescending, Bible-beating act doesn't save souls; it drives them away.
The Wailing is magnificent, but also confusing af, seemingly deliberately so. I'm not impressed by directors who intentionally contradict themselves and/or misdirect the audience with MacGuffins and red herrings that circle back around on themselves and among each other, clanging and banging and causing wild spectacles, but which are never resolved.
"Ah," you say, "but the director has freed you to interpret the film's many unanswered questions to your own satisfaction...or not at all." To which I reply, "Nah...the director is just too damn lazy to make their story make sense, so they're pawning the job off on me. I call BS."
I don't mind being confused and mystified, misdirected and tossed a red herring now and then or many times during a movie's run time; hell, I enjoy that. Nor do I object to open endings that leave me to ponder what might or might not come next. But I do object to wild incoherence dressed up as a "masterpiece" (The MDL commentariat's most hilariously overused word) of multi-layered storytelling.
The absurdly juvenile Halloween bit in the cave at the end is a surprising and spectacular example of stupid.
hii don't know if you know or saw but it's the story of haruna ai and she was actually there during the filming…
Just because the person whose story a movie/book/play is based on is there during filming does not automatically make the final product representative of their experience, of high quality, or of anything else, I don't care how many interviews they do.
It's entirely possible that her involvement hampered the storytelling rather than enhancing it.
That haruna ai was on-set during the production of this turkey and approved it, makes the final product MORE insulting to her trans audience, not less.

Though you made it clear several replies ago, I want to state for the record that U R A moron.
Now, isn't there a Bible somewhere you should be jerking off to?

I'll revise down from 9.5/10 to 9/10.
You're unworthy of illegal immigrant trans women.

I stand by everything I wrote above.
Have you ever heard of special effects and the magic of make-believe?
For me, this is a boring cringe-fest, except for T.O.P., whose character is so over-the-top he at least makes me laugh a few times.
