you've damned us all

me but thats kmovie thread

The Japanese were right

this for

fuck off

>muh slow motion
>muh caucasian make-up
>muh on the nose dialogue
>muh cartoon character archetypes
>muh evil Japs

The absolute worst "cinematic" wave. Watch some anime if you can't be trusted to interpret your media and need things spelled out for you. At least there the directors and producers have some faith in their audience. Korean flicks are in the fucking 1950's.

Something for newcomers

I forewarned you OP that starting a new thread would make them both shit and now the other one is dead and this one is full of shitposting

Who loves the Thirst here.

...

>Memories of Murder
>The Host
>Snowpiercer
>Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance
>Oldboy
>Sympathy for Lady Vengeance
>Thirst
>A Tale of Two Sisters
>I Saw the Devil

Can someone rec Korean films other than these? Obviously I only know the "Big Three" directors.

Pretty much anything is fine but I do like the thrillers. My fave of all of these was Tale of Two Sisters.

it reminded me the Death becomes her. Good but not as good

A Bittersweet Life and New World are both pretty good

Korean cinema is basically Hollywood 2. it's all edgy fedora dog shit. It gives plebs the ability to say they've seen foreign films and allows them to keep the same type of enjoyment they get from blockbusters. Get some taste or go back to Sup Forums or imdb

>Snowpiercer
why ppl consider it korean? i know about the production but beside that

hory shit

Previous thread here Lots of recommendations in that one.

if you like war movies watch silmido and assassination. The second one much better.

How many times are you gonna copy & paste your shitty edgy comment? You sound like a 14 year old tryhard. Just fucking ignore threads for things you don't like.

it's the weakest of the big 3 asian movie industries but you're fooling yourself if you think any industry is mostly good stuff

...

It's both English and Korean.

Once you get some fucking taste or leave it will stop you child of IMDB

Just production is usually enough. A lot of people consider Refn's English films to still be Danish for example.

>korean cinema is shit
>watch anime instead

LOL

Because it's full of horrible korean tropes and directing.

Hideo on the right looks pretty enthused

we Sup Forums now

yeah but whats korean about it? anyway i watched it without subtitles and i still dont know that that korean guy said.
i wouldnt say its korean. more like european

I know I would be

The last 30 minutes of the movie are two people explaining the whole 1st grade level ethical "dilemma" of the film. It doesn't get much more korean than that bullshit

I haven't seen it so I can't say anything about specifics, but I guess it's just prior association with the director. His only film I've seen is memories of murder.

yup, but still love it.

Well how many are you at?

>Korean flicks are in the fucking 1950's.
A flick that came out in the 30s(crossroads of youth) is better than nearly all the korean movies that have come out in the last 20 or so years

any link?

>watched it without subs
>got to that scene where he's talking for like 5 minutes in Korean
>"this can't be right..."

How did you get past that part without realising you're supposed to understand them?

Going by Wiki:
>Snowpiercer is a 2013 English-language South Korean science fiction thriller

Also the Story was made by a Korean, it was Directed, Produced and Distributed by Koreans.

It's Korean man, live with it.

Japan is better
Japan is better

It's letterboxd, c'mon bro.

Mother needs to be in there. the Host does not.

The korean boy is in a movie called Death bell. He is very cute there. i want to fug him. No homo

it's letterboxd

...

>How did you get past that part without realising you're supposed to understand them?
well just assumed that it wasnt significant.
>Also the Story was made by a Korean, it was Directed, Produced and Distributed by Koreans.
ok calm the fuck down. i dont want to steal it.

Korean movies in 21st>Japanese movies in 21st century
kpop>jpop
Korean variety>Japanese variety
Korean technological advancements>Japanese technological advancements
Korean genes>Japanese genes

How exactly are they better? It's not the 70-90's anymore.

Veteran, The Chaser, The Divine Move, The Terror Live, Pietà, A Hard Day, The Unjust

>Korean movies in 21st
Post your top 10

>Korean technological advancements
*crickets chirping*

>well just assumed that it wasnt significant
I can understand that for a lot of the film since they just make odd remarks and don't talk much, but that whole scene when they are sitting smoking was fucking ages long man.

The Terror Live is such a hidden underrated gem.

this.

>Korean movies in 21st>Japanese movies in 21st century
fair
>kpop>jpop
wrong
>Korean technological advancements>Japanese technological advancements
lol
>Korean genes>Japanese genes
hahaahaha

I was shocked how good it was. Just kind of watched it on a whim and found myself riveted

Poetry
Crossroads of Youth
Tale of Cinema / Night and Day
Timeless Bottomless Bad Movie
Address Unknown
Peppermint Candy
3-Iron
Strokes of Fire
Oasis
Secret Sunshine
Why Has Bodhi-Dharma Left for the East?
Breathless (Yang Ik-Joon)
Take Care of My Cat
Bedevilled

Unless you're looking for pleb rash like Oldboy/ I saw the devil then I recommend you go to Sup Forums.

I'm not spending my time doing that, because you have zero interest in what my picks would be. You are a child.

3-Iron is a good one, good taste friend

...

I had no idea he was in Lucy. Does anyone know how big of a role he had in it? I also just discovered a new movie to watch. Happy End. Choi Min-Sik & Jeon Do-yeon are both great.

I can already tell your picks are garbage. Never try to step up on a board where people know more about cinema and art than you are residing, Sup Forums.

>Nobody remembers or recommends pre-Oldboy Korean movies anymore

watched The Wailing (dude that did The Chaser) and it was pretty damn good. A little too "well it's open for interpretation" for my taste, but good horror movie nonetheless, tense as shit at times.

main villain. this movie was shit thou

He was like barely in it so I wouldn't watch it if you're expecting a Choi fest

Their kinos are often really cringeworthy

Northern limit line for example was an utterly predictable piece of shit snoozefest with horrible pacing that tried way too hard

I do like the blatantly nationalist overtones in their kinos though. But what i find cringe also is when they have a white character as a sidekick and they sorta present their views of europeans in these movies which they know will be imported to the US/Yurop later on

No shit, why would big dumb foreign blockbusters be any better than big dumb American blockbusters.

The Tower was fun though.

Which films contain white characters? Asking so I know to avoid them

>Lucy
dont remind me that shit. Luc Besson should die after the Fifth element

You sound offended

>The Tower was fun though.
I watched it last weekend. I was really disappointed

What a pleb. Lucy was very good conceptually and how it was executed. Pure Besson crazyness.

Also the first thread was fucking embrassing 'just post korean garbage thrillers' like

Not great, but it was a comfy decent Christmas blockbuster.

>Serious Korean movie about a national tragedy
>Dopey fat guy comic relief character who only talks about food
>Later he dies and the audience is supposed to care

Just sent out the avistaz invites to the ones who (You)'d me in the previous thread

enjoy your korean soft porn

>Not great, but it was a comfy decent Christmas blockbuster.
maybe, but i expected something more from korean movie, especially if it gets listed on those Sup Forums kmovie lists. It felt like north korean propaganda movie directed by Micheal Bay

Why are you still in this thread if you don't like Korean movies? How sad is your life..

I expected nothing and ended up liking it. Maybe you have to have seen Towering Inferno and Poseidon Adventure 100 times like me.

I like them, but I get good laughs of pleb retardation like people spamming garbage thrillers and pretending to be patrician.

>MUH KOREAN DRAMA

kys

>What a pleb.
are you trolling mate. it was pure plebian fest. Oh look 'muh 10% of brain'. Jesus really?

legit? I see nothing in my box :(

Are you a 'MUH SCIENCE' retard instead of gauging how well that was used as a narrative tool within the segments and as a whole?

Kill yourself.

post top 10

Legit. Sent out 4 invites (one had already been invited/already had an account it said), maybe that was you? macho something

>he scene when the drug kicks in and she starts rolling over the room
just fucking die

korean?

People also only recommend edgy violent movies. No one really recommends movie like pic related.

mine was [email protected], never had an account as far as i know

Confirmed plebeian that cannot gauge cinema as intended, but keeps on pushing other irrelevant things like MUH SCIENCE.

What do you expect of this pleb garbage cum dumpster board

why would you watch korean movies if not for the edge. Also if you want non edgy good romantic kmovie - Architecture 101.

You should get it soon, says I sent it 11 minutes ago. I don't have great confidence in their efficiency, judging by the layout of their site since they changed name.

I wonder why. Shin Hyun-joon was quite funny with Ho-Dong on Cool Kiz btw.

alright safe G. you are appreciated

Is that your work email?

Do I need to see the first one to watch this

>he doesnt work in a fun place

Speaking of comedies, one of my favourite korean comedies is pic related. The absurdity hit me from nowhere and the dramatic parts were well made too.

Yeah, but Korean comedic light drama looks kind of bad though. Is there really a reason to watch them if you don't have a Korean girlfriend?

Pic unrelated.
