Oldboy

Those damn gooks copied a Spike Lee joint.

>>80758282
Damn nigga that movie was made back in like 1946. Get with it.

>>80758311
Yeah I just realized their was a US adaptation. It looks too much like taken and looks no where as good

Dickshit.

>>80758282
Overhyped.

it was meh at best

>>80758282
Didn't really think it was good anymore when I rewatched it in my 20s.
When I was 16 or whatever it blew my mind and I thought it was awesome.

>implying it isn't just thriving on sensationalism
>implying it doesn't have melodramatic acting and weak direction with a few good shots
>implying the violence wasn't just shock value for its korean crowd
>implying the silly one-take hallway scene isn't actually mediocre and poorly executed
>implying even josh brolin wasn't much better as oh dae‑su than the choi min sik

The korean is trash tier for the average movie /b/uff

>>80758282
I wasn't really impressed by it.

Wait until OP discovers Battle Royale

Did you get the thing about the ants?

>>80758593
Battle Royale is shit, only good things about it are Kitano and the crazy chick

TRIPS DON'T LIE

OP, watch Thirst. Nobody liked it, but I thought it was almost as good as this one. The others in the trilogy weren't that good

>>80758282
That twist hit hard, and I really liked this film. The American one is just tremendous garbage.

>>80758311
Nice try mongrel Americuck

>>80758282
Watch the other two in the trilogy, both great films

mr vengeance is the best one

>>80758975
Mr Vengeance is almost a normal movie. It's good, but it's nothing really special. Mrs Vengeance is too much, I didn't ike it.

Thirst is almost as good as Old Boy.

What about the Handmaiden? they never released it in my country

It is however a great movie. I suppose Amelie is next?

>>80759257
So far I've seen Ong bak, 13 Assassins, and Fearless to name a few, the Mexican and French Ones I've watched I can never remember the names of. Amelie is on my list through

Killers also tickled my fancy alot thematically. Plus it had the added novelty of being a Japanese/Indonesian crossover joint

Fucking stop, that movie was horrible.

my guilty pleasure movie for a while

Literally the best zombie movie since Dawn of the Dead (2004)

>>80760309
You cry?

>>80760554
Did you mean to type I am a hero?

>>80760603
never seen it, is it actually good? Or is it just weird? Does it have good pacing and camerawork?

>>80760680
Are you implying TtB has any of that?

>>80759448
Alright. Be sure to see the old classics by the likes of Bergman and Kurosawa as well. If you're looking something more modern, check out Wong Kar-wai.

>>80758282
Reddit likes it so I hate it

>>80760852
Kinda yeah, only the ending was the weak part for me. It also had a very hateable villain.

Train to Busan was a good movie. It's better than 99% of Zombie movies and that's a fact.

Name 3 better ones... go!

>>80761109
I was bothered every time they stopped giant hordes by pushing at doors.

>no dirty carnival

>>80761227
Why?

>>80761361
Mythbusters tried it out and a big horde of zombies, pushing against each other, would be able to break through a barn door reinforced with steel with very little effort.

>>80758282
This movie was pretty shocking when it came out, at least for western audiences. Nowadays people have 'seen some shit' already so the shock factor is much less. Still a good movie though.

>>80760532
Anyone who eats dogs and has slanted eyes is a gook

>>80759718
I Saw the Devil was fucking rubbish dude

>>80758282
I didn't understand the movie.

Why didn't he and his daughter stay a couple if they fell in love?

>>80758447
you sure are implying alot

>>80758593
Garbage, literally any other Kitano movie is superior.

>>80763009
We got a Lannister in here folks

>>80760554
zombies automatically make a movie shit, yes even night of the living dead is garbo frommagio

>>80763009
he didn't want to be fucking his own daughter, so he got his memory erased so he did not know it was his own daughter anymore, so he could keep on fucking her (this is how I remember the movie ending, but i was really super high, m-maybe need to rewatch it)

>>80762977
Says anonymous no-taste internet dude.

Literally nobody else ITT thought so.

>>80763193
is that a Games of Throne reference haha ?

>>80758593

Battle Royale is one of the worst Fukasaku films beside that Green Slime sci-fi shit movie.

And oh hell the sequel is fucking garbage

Why did he get so upset about finding out the person he fucked was his daughter though? I mean, i can understand being affected by it, but didn't he kind of overreact?

>>80763357
Wait, WHAT THE FUCK? I completely misread that scene. I though "erase the monster" meant forgetting all the bad things he did, like being a drunk. Holy shit, its even more fucked than I thought it was.

>>80763347
Your're baiting, right?

Obviously, the right thing to do in that situation is kill yourself or vanish forever. Personally, I'd have kill myself.

Korean kino is best kino.

>>80758282
Its a great movie and indicator that Korean cinema surpassed Japanese (I'm talking about live action) and made small revolution in that part of Asia (as a source of flicks watchable by Westerners ed. Malaysian etc), but I honestly feel like posting pic of slowpoke

Agree OP. I was shocked at how much of the hype it lived up to. The hubdred man brawl was a little out of place in what was otherwise a slow and methodical neo-noir but that fucking ending.

Probably the #3 greatest twist of all time

>>80763515
Don't tell me the twists but what movies take #1 and #2

>>80763608
Pretty standard ones you already know but

1. Sixth sense
2. Fight Club

Before you cry pleb just take a minute to think of the cultural impact they had

>>80763608
Memories of Murder is everyones best K-movie.

#3 is, pick one from this list.. >>80759718

There are dozens of great korean/jap/chink films. It's impossible to argue which is top 3.

>>80763448
Maybe the movie leaves open your interpretation for people who can't handle the real truth.

>>80763608

Twist wise... No.1 is A Tale of Two Sisters. People literally don't get the final twist until about a week after they've watched it. I'm not even joking.

No.2 for me is The Game with Michael Douglas.

/tv/ really has the worst board culture

>cry about /pol/
>cant admit a film is good because its popular
>condescending about literally everything unless its some bullshit french arthouse from 1925 no one has seen or heard of

>>80763510
I thought it was interesting how a person can take things to that extreme.

>>80763854
Do you know the movie about a hotel that was haunted? I know that one had a confusing ending?

>>80763510
I know I'm behind. I still have a ways to go. Especially since I'm a film graduate and just saw Fight Club last year. And I've never seen the Shining from the beginning. But I'm trying to change that this year

>>80764052
but french arthouse from 1925 no one has seen or heard of is fucking terrible, m8

>>80760039

28 days,28 weeks,day z,Fido, tuthancamon....
Busan is just too long, brings nothing new to this tiresome subgenre, actors are NOT charismatic (be realistic), it doesn't even work on some B-flix level, its literally like some Korean f2p mmo turned to film
