Must watch Korean movies
Scribbled on Saturday, May 24th, 2008Here is a list of some chosen ones from Korean cinema, a must watch for a movie admirer. Memories of Murder (one of the best of breed real serial killer movie, 10 women were the prey of felony and brutal murder. There is a sarcasm too, to the callous government officials at that time, and a very sad ending)
A Bittersweet Life (a poetic cinematography revenge action masterpiece that beats the hollow in most of the hollywood action movies. Remember action is not all about kungu fu and useless fight)
A Tale of Two Sister (you thought Tylar was the only legend, nope there is more to that. Tts not even horror but the very thought is scary and the ending leaves u speechless)
My Sassy Girl (was my first Korean movie and its a healthy romantic funny movie, a must watch for everyone. Once in a life you dream about a girlfriend like her. Though the girl is crazy but what seem to be is not actually what it is)
The Classic (All I can say is that Titanic was crap, feel the innocence and beauty in this movie. The love that reborn from ashes to take the second chance to meet )
Bungee Jumping of Their Own (Unforgettable masterpiece, love transit from one realm to another. I wont spoil the plot here, you gotta watch this one)
Sad Movie (4 parallel unrelated stories but they intersect beautifully at the end, and as the name suggets the ending is sad. Amusingly the same tune is played at various moments and it suit them nicely. Added bonus of great OST)
A Moment to Remember (compare it to Notebook and u fail, its certainly better and more engrossing)
Marathon (TZP looks cheap after watching this. It is based on real person who created a marathon record despite his disability)
…ing (A mother wants to see her daughter happy for the last days of her life)
Lover’s Concerto (Love is more than love at first sight. Sometime you can be very wrong, but then it gets too late to return the time. Sad ending but a joyous ride throughout the movie)
Once in A Summer (I love this movie to the core)
Lump of Sugar (A movie about a gal and her horse, beautifully crafted sequences. Don’t be fooled by thinking if this happened for real)
Windstruck (prequel to My Sassy Girl, certainly I don’t recommend this movie. Its not a worthy prequel but if u do want to try this out then watch it when u have nothing else to watch)
Wedding Campaign (The guy is a farmer(35) and still not married. He plans to go Uzbekistan with his friend to get some chick to marry. there someone runs an agency to get people married )
Samaritan Girl (Kim Ki Duk masterpiece, almost all movies by the director are worth watching. Though don’t expect the movie to be realistic. The characters are just a mere caricature of the society and they represent the problems in society, not a particular person)
The Beast and The Beauty (lol..this one is a comedy. What if you are not good looking(and everybody thinks u r a loser) and you made a girlfriend (by letting her imagine u as a prince) who is blind but later she gets her eyes after operation. What do u gonna do now ?? )
My Little Bride (a grandpa likes to see her daughter to be married before he dies. So the girl, who is a high school student gets married to a graduate boy. Now what could be more funny to see the rest of the story)

Nope, thats partially true. I have enlisted the general movies and not the extreme ones (bizarre, disturbing and horror elements).
I don’t like to be owned though, a feeling of ownership is really crippling to my thoughts and dreams. Though at sometime someone will surely come and hold my hand along the rumors of wates, into the palace of wind, where there will be no boundaries.
Something I dislike is excessive loquacious people. Expressions are meant to be understood without even speaking a word. The moment should be meant to be enjoyed and not spent over garrulous talking. Language is a barrier for emotions.

Windstruck is not the prequel of My Sassy Girl. But the former did bank on the latter’s famous and unforgettable scenes.
