There is no easy way to talk about this movie. Especially because of all the strong elements in it. One of them being rape. Another, dieting, anorexia, overeating, abuse....and so on.
This movie was very distressing even though it did have an important message behind it. You become breathless after watching all these terrible things happen to Eun Young.
Although, the possibility of having all of those incidents happen to her after being a victim of rape is highly unlikely.That part took some realism out of the story.
The reactions of the friends and Police made South Korea look like there a country full of psychopath's. I think the writing may have been a problem with that matter...
Other then that I could see what they were getting at. In the end, it wasn't about beauty hurting people but people hurting people.
The cast was amazing but you barely remember them because the concept is so captivating.
The music fit the movie very well. From beginning to end, you had a bittersweet feeling.
Just from the music alone...you can sense a tragedy in the making.
Overall, I recommend watching this movie if you want something with a very strong message about beauty or if you are in the mood for a tragedy. Also...double check....no triple check if you feel up for this because this movie certainly isn't for everyone.
