      A Tale of Two Sisters--A horror Film with a Tragedy

      Koreans seem to have a talent for horror movies, and Rose Flower Red Lotus is not just a pure horror movie, but has a surprisingly tragic force. In the elegant and dignified wooden villa, the elder sister always lives in the shadow of self-blame and fear. What she fantasizes about is her younger sister, who is still by her side. She splits and acts as the tormenting stepmother. Is the stepmother's endless pain for life, her...

      The red lotus of the rose, the rose of the red lotus

      I have always liked the fine and deserted shots of Korean movies, as clean as a cold scalpel. "Rose, Red Lotus" is the pinnacle of horror aesthetics. It turned out to be a horror movie, which made me regain a long-lost touch, and tears fell like rain.

      Rose is the elder sister, and Red Lotus is the younger sister. The beginning of the film is beyond beautiful. Rose is wearing a blue cotton skirt, a red sweater with embroidered edges, and a beautiful face. She took Gulian's hand and ran...

      initially charming

      I won't talk about the horror scenes that are confusing and a little bloody and a little disgusting. After all, a certain kind of numbness has been tested by such films.
            A was watching this movie with a sister who had just been inspired by a bit of timidity. Usually, they were alone on the sofa, with the lights turned off and the quilt watching with relish. One more person came out this night. . So the reading is not so careful and specific, but the story is still clear....

      Classical Sorrow "Rose and Red Lotus"

      Good, very good, very good, the masterpiece of Asian horror and suspense movies.

      After watching "Roses and Red Lotus", the rhythm was so slow that I fell asleep on the first day of watching it, mainly because I was too sleepy, and I was born with extreme poverty.

      I originally thought of this as a horror movie, and I didn't find it scary after watching it for a long time, but it was a very elegant movie. There are only some conflicts and strange colors in the elegance,...

      "Rose, Red Lotus" chews the chill and tastes poignant

      The first time I saw this movie, it reminded me of the style of "Cry on the Island", but I have to admire director Kim Ji-woon for handling every detail so flawlessly. When the answer is revealed, you will cry inexplicably.
          The gorgeous and poignant music is a highlight of the film, and every time there is a fiddle, there is a scene that makes you feel bad. And the superb acting skills of the three heroines also added a heavy weight to this movie. The whole picture feels like an oil...

      It is worthy of being the first horror film in South Korea. After watching it, it is not scary but rather poignant and beautiful. The plot is set very cleverly and does not fall into a...

      I mean, how does it feel exactly the same as the uninvited setting, so it's a remake. Guessing the ending of this film based on the plot of that film doesn't feel so suspenseful. The plot of this film is...

      This is seriously overrated! There is nothing new about the split personality, the narrative is really not too offline, and it is just as messy as...

      md I will never watch schizophrenic films again, schizophrenia plus ghosts and ghosts is not better, plus a lot of cause and effect behind it is not better! I saw half of the ending and guessed whether I should continue or stop! The rhythm is slow, the details are too...

      Korean things always give people a feeling that they can't make effects. Maybe it's because the foundation is not solid. It's no wonder that Koreans are rated as extremely petty, full of nouveau riche mentality, both inferiority and arrogance. One point, their neighbor Japan will do much better, and the reason is that it has a deep foundation and has accumulated for a long time, and become the object of their imitation, intentionally or unintentionally, but painting a tiger is not an anti-dog....

    Kim Jee-woon, who has directed " Memories of the Three Watches", used the same narrative method of repeated fragments and stripped cocoons in the plot arrangement of "A Tale Of Two Sisters", staggering the assaults of nightmares, images, and memories. The "scare" technique creates a terrifying atmosphere in the film. But different from the gloomy and cold picture of "Memories of Three Watches", "A Tale Of Two Sisters" features two...
