The King and the Clown Reviews

The perfect coordination of the actors, the visual impact of the film, the stifling pacing and the intense irony of the story.Creating a character like a masquerade artist that few people ask about shows the creativity of the film. Looking at the wonderful performance of the masquerade artist who played Yan Shanjun, it seems that the audience is also venting a kind of pressure, and Wang, who has everything, is also envious of the masquerade artist who has freedom, which also expresses our real life. yearning for freedom.
The storyline of the film is very imaginative.commented) It  broke through the realm of history and fiction, and was more suitable for the taste of modern people. In the movie, the historical characters Yan Shanjun and Lushui, who often appear in TV series, are not described as complete tyrants and temptresses, but their hidden inner loneliness and pain are vividly displayed. In addition, some of the words of Kong Ji, played by LEE JOON GI, in the play are completely based on the original words in historical documents, so the image of Kong Ji is more realistically portrayed. The film exposes the darkness behind the gorgeous court by performing masquerade artists. And behind the power struggle is only the masquerade artist who is looking for freedom and doesn't care about the affairs of the palace. A life accompanied by the desire for freedom and the obsession with rights, the conflict between nature and desire is perfectly interpreted through this film.

    Looking at it, I think the actor looks okay. But in ancient times in Korea, the troupe really couldn't get on the stage... To put it bluntly, it was a bit like the mentally handicapped version of "Farewell My Concubine" in Korea. Anyway, just want to say, no culture is no culture. It is useless to steal all kinds of Chinese culture. There is a paragraph in the middle obviously learning Chinese Peking Opera, please, please don't insult us...isn't it enough to steal the movable type printing and the Dragon Boat Festival?

The King and the Clown quotes

  • Pal-bok: [From subtitles] Isn't she the King's Consort?

    Chil-duk: Sure is. What on earth is that woman doing?

    Pal-bok: People say, she a lady now but she still shits like a horse. So then the rumors were true after all!

  • [From subtitles]

    Gong-gil: [atop a tightrope] To be up here, away from the bustle, my legs like wings would spread.

    Jang-sang: [from below] Ahoy! What is that flower in full bloom I see yonder?

    Street musician: Dost thou not recognize the one and only?

    Jang-sang: So it is! The one and only! With rose petal'd lips. O Friend, beat thee thy leather while I go pick the flower.

    Gong-gil: [watching Jang-sang ascend the tightrope] My, my, there comes a fool, rash and proud! Never knew a fool who knew his place!

    Jang-sang: Ho! A tongue most untamed! Master of this house am I, come to bait thee!

    Gong-gil: A gallows-hung scoundrel is what I see with an ill-fitting coat to hide his sores!

    Jang-sang: Oh thorny Rose, is thy iris closed for me? Open them, and see as I walk the Master's gait. Oh, really!

    [Jang-sang precariously walks across the tightrope]

    Jang-sang: [finally reaching the other side] Good heavens! Me thought it would be a mere hop and a skip but t'was longer than a runny trip to the outhouse!

    Gong-gil: [having climbed down] Master gait, master bait, either way strains the balls!

    Jang-sang: And now, a fornicating wench, running off upon being surprised. 'Tis thy own form, saucy wench.

    [Jang-sang quickly walks back across the tightrope again]

    Gong-gil: I was expecting to see thee fall and crack thy frame. But not bad!

    Jang-sang: Indeed, gifted are my two legs, but it is my third that has true genius - and thou shall see it this night!

    [Jang-sang performs acrobatics on the tightrope]

    Blackhat: Master wants to see you.

    Gong-gil: Thy twin eggs, are they cracked yet or just in the crack?

    Jang-sang: [as the crowd laughs] Safely in the crack, plugging my bunghole! But now, I must drain my bladder. I gotta pee before I continue!

    Gong-gil: Why, you dirty boor! So then, let's try it on for size!

    Jang-sang: Good idea! I shall oblige!
