      Korean classic taste

      This year is actually lucky for movie fans, because two Korean "National Treasures" films - "Misfire" (1961) directed by Yoo Hyun-moo and "Lady" (1960) directed by South Korean cult director Kim Ki-young ), can be watched on the screen ("Mistakes" was released at the film festival before). The two works with very different styles both show a strong power of light and shadow, as well as a profound depiction of social phenomena. The proposition of "The Misfired Bullet" has already hit the nail on...

      Desire for Exclusivity - Drama Review of "The Next Girl"

      Exclusive Desire
      "The Next Girl" review

      "The Next Girl" is a masterpiece in Korean film history, and it was remade this year. I was lucky to have the opportunity to see the original at the Korean Film Festival.
      The film tells the story of a piano teacher who does not seem to be very wealthy. She is very determined and refuses a letter from a female factory worker, causing the girl to be suspended from work and die of hatred. As he moved into his new home, he hired a maid,...

      All kinds of horror films, pornographic films, ethics films.

      asia 356 lesson 3 movie. Very nice! The same male number one as the aimless bullet. Also a tragic man.

      At first, I thought that Xiaosan appeared. Back home, turn to the piano! Xiaosan appeared, and it turned out that the previous one was the one who took the blame. After another turn, the real mistress appeared. It turned out that it was the maid who took the opportunity to seduce the male master and succeeded in becoming a mistress. Then there is the main room fighting against the...

      Class anxiety embodied in lower-class women

      Whether it is from the social environment at the time or the content of the film itself, it focuses on the class differentiation and class anxiety in the early stage of rapid economic development, but the director only dares to visualize this anxiety on a few women, especially middle-class wives And the servants of the lower class, and even the actress who played the lower daughter was forced to disappear because of this film.

      In a patriarchal...

      The 1960 version of "Lady" uses a 1.33:1 aspect ratio (the academy standard), and the pictures focus on characters and rarely create scenes. Show class differences.

      When the male protagonist crosses the line with the next girl for the first time, the rainstorm is like a note, and the camera is shot to the tree that was hit by lightning and burnt, implying that this is a fierce and indecent relationship. And when the male protagonist and the next girl committed suicide together, there...

      In fact, I think of the sensory world a little bit, the story is a little bit strange, and the last part that jumped out of it can be regarded as a little explanation haha. The director knows how to tell a story with his images. The push-pull and lateral movement of the camera represents the seesaw effect of desire. From trying to occupy the object of the male protagonist's desire to finally becoming the subject of desire, the lower female is completely achieved by images/cameras. The death...

    Director Jin Qiyong's mid-term representative work is also the first part of his "Hanyo Trilogy". The film fully demonstrates the director's creative style, and has been passed down in subsequent works such as "Fire Girl" (1971), "Fire Girl 82 Edition" (1982), "Insect Girl" (1972), "Carnivore" (1984) and other works . Hanyo's experience of walking into a middle-class family reflects the breakdown of the family and the creepy atmosphere...
