Street stall literature, Korean genre films that are getting worse and worse

This movie has been edited for seven or eight years. I haven't watched it because of the introduction. I can tell what kind of story it is at a glance.

Revenge, revenge, revenge, the most clichéd elements in Korean genre films.

I really can't find any movies to rewatch recently, so I watched it.

I don't know if I don't see it, but at first glance, it's not what I expected, it's really disgusting.

Rape, murder, revenge, the victim becomes the murderer.

Looking at the whole film, it perfectly reproduces the street stall magazines of the 1990s. Yes, three stars, one of which is given to this, after all, there are really few directors who can make such a vulgar thing. "Pulp Fiction" also follows the path of street stall literature, but there is no way, Quentin is too strong, and he just made street stall literature poetic.

In addition to shit, the best thing to sell is sex and violence. This director is honest enough to show the raw materials in the street stall literature without any artistic transformation, and show them naked in front of the audience. He knows that this is a commercial film, no Those who knew it thought it was an art film. After all, it was a film, and no one carried private goods like that.

I didn't want to write this movie review, this movie is not worthy of a long discussion, but I just saw some people in the movie review area ranting about "the monument of Korean genre films", "the scalpel of Korean society", "the Chinese and Korean films have opened up the light" year gap".

I wonder why my butt is still crooked when I watch a movie. Certain types of Korean movies are good, but to this extent, it is really confusing. Watching movies these days is really afraid of such cultural traitors. How is the movie still? If you don't understand it, you just take the money and blow it to the sky.

When it comes to ideology, I think what this film conveys is not bad, and it is worth learning. When encountering lawbreakers, don't think about lynching or revenge, let alone take it lightly. As soon as you have a chance, catch it directly, it's time to clean up, and send it to the police immediately, don't delay. Criminals may not distinguish between objects and means.

But this is the advantage, and the others are simply unsightly.

I didn't watch the director's cut, but as far as the text is concerned, no matter how much you cut out, the movie itself is pretty bloated, and it's not going to be saved by lengthening it.
