good movies in other countries are the exception and not the norm just like in the united states. theres less vacous screen wasting shit only because they are making less movies in total.


i am speaking specifically about asian cinema, and i acknowledged that about japan; i don't know enough about china's cinema to make a statement, but as for korea, every korean movie i've seen that seems to be aimed at the mass-market has impressed me to some degree. i mentioned my sassy girl, shiri, and attack on the gas station, but there are others, such as kick the moon, resurrection of the little match girl, and musa. i can't claim to be any sort of expert on korean cinema, but as a consumer, i know what i like and korea's film industry has a far better ratio with me than hollywood does. part of the effect of korean cinema, and similarly, any kind of foreign or independent cinema (from european fare like goodbye lenin to independent fare like coffee and cigarettes to kitano's zatoichi), is that it is a refreshing change. hollywood has its finer points too, even in the mainstream, with films like spider-man 2 fully deserving their box office draws in my opinion.

expanding one's boundaries, exploring other cultures via their cultural product, and having a good time watching a new movie are all worthwhile activities. asian cinema is providing that.

Memories of Murder has got to be one of the best movies I've seen in the past while. The ending just blew me away.

i also recommend one fine spring day. it is very sentimental, but not overly so, and beautifully shot.

The close up scene of the ex-detective? Yeah it was really good. I felt like he was staring the real criminal sitting in the theater who still hasn't been captured.

taegukgi was very popular in Korea.

Over 10 millions people had seen taegukgi.(Korea's population is about 48 millions.)

Oldboy was really pretty good. Reminds me of any solid well done independant foriegn film. I highly suggest seeing it.

Save the green planet is a really nice movie, but the nice ones (which don't have violence,sex, and that stuff) never seem to gain popularity.

And also Volcano High School is miserable. It sucked so much that even today Korean people make fun of it. Did some of you really enjoy that? There are much more better Korean movies!

ANd as you guys mentioned, Shilmido and Chingu are also awesome movies.
Shilmido is another true story and I'll explain a little about the background that doesn't appear in the movie or in reviews.

Back when North and South Korea had very bad feelings toward each other, North Korea sent some special troops to kill the South Korean president. The amazing thing is that this guy traveling on foot with a 20~30kilo bag travles 60~70 km in one day. The normal rate a person walks on a flat ground is 4 kilometers and hour but this guy with a 20kilo bag and 10kilo gun ran an average of 12 kilometers an hour. This North Korean agent almost got to the blue house where the Korean president lives and this incident of the North Korean special troops shocked everyone in Korea. So what SOuth Korea did was create its on special troops which had only one mission: To kill the leader of North Korea at the time. Since this would be a extremely dangerous mission nobody would want to volunteer. So what they did was get all the prisoners who were scheduled for execution in the near future or sentenced for life and told them that if they complete the mission they will not only be freed but will become heros and rewarded a great deal. So the movie starts with these prisoners going to an island called Shil-Mi-Do, where no one lives and fierce army men are waiting to train them to life-threatening warriors.
Hexatron Bba!!
