Park Chan Wook’s revenge trilogy is the most highly rated one. After watching it, it was given five stars.
I like the black tone, the architecture of the commercial film + the theme of the art film, this is to complete another artistic creation, rather than simply complete the realization of a commercial profit.
The play is great! A wants revenge for B, and B wants revenge for A. The link to revenge is incest. Some people choose death, while others choose to forget. The empty ending is complicated human nature.
The film is very childlike, special effects, very styling set/styling, all in all good

    I like the sad postmodern ant sitting in the subway.

    Is this movie really good? It’s a bit scary but more sharp. In this regard, Korean movies are still more profound than Chinese movies.
