Tencologia

Acho que eu poderia falar horas sobre Wonderland e analisar minusiosamente esse filme. Pra falar num geral eu goste mas senti falta de uma explicação sobre o sung joon por exemplo, acho que ficou algumas pontas soltas (pelo menos pra mim)
Mas assim, fantástico essa realidade humana e virtual, queria dizer logo que sou totalmente contra, acho que ela avançar dessa forma pra manter uma pessoa "viva" ultrapassa o que seria aceitável, acho que nós humanos não estamos prontos para isso agora e nem num futuro próximo, temos que deixar ir para crescermos como pessoas e saber lidar com a dor, é a natureza da vida. Lembro bem de algo que vi ou escutei, a IA hoje somos nós que controlamos mas em algum momento ela vai nos controlar, ela vai ter tantas informações que não vai precisar que os humanos alimente ela mais, vai ter uma consciência própria e acho isso loucura de pensar né? Com certeza um dos filmes mais tristes pra mim, a Jung in mantendo o namorado dela ali e depois ele voltando, acredito que ela não conseguiu lidar com o fato de ter ele de volta e ao mesmo tempo tão diferente, acho que poderia ter deixado mais explícito como ele "mudou" pra gente entender melhor a situação dela nesse caso. Pra mim o filme deixou a desejar um pouco, mas é uma ótima crítica.

Felt like a couple of people made a challenge on who can write a movie in a day and then filmed it.

I enjoyed it and it kept me engaged but it felt like a troll, meme movie. Like at the end when broddy said "you really did blow things out of proportion" I laughed so hard cause she really was going to torch his hoe ass. And when the boss died so quickly it made it feel even more meme-ish and i laughed. Felt like one of those "when the villian is explaining all their plan but you can just shoot them while their talking". Bc everyone died so fast, didnt feel like anyone had any plot armour or aura like they gave off at the start. And how Choi pro just shoots the guy in the back just like that, like they just rushed the ending "TLDR ANYWAY BASICLALY EVERYONE DIES THE END" yh thats how it felt. Maybe this is the vibe they were going for. "Badass female lead nothing else" Id give it a 7.5.

Na década de 90, a família da protagonista imigra para o Canadá deixando para trás o amigo de infância/primeiro amor e a vida que ela conhecia na Coréia. Vinte anos depois, Nora se muda do Canadá para Nova Iorque para estudar e nesse período ela e seu amigo de infância se reencontram através das redes sociais e vivem um relacionamento platônico à distância até que Nora decide "terminar" a relação para se dedicar ao seu sonho de ser uma escritora renomada. Eventualmente ela acaba conhecendo um outro cara e rapidamente se casa.

Alguns anos depois Hae Sung decide ir à Nova Iorque para encontrar Nora. Apesar de saber que ela está casada, ele finalmente decide ir vê-la pessoalmente depois de tantos anos. O encontro dos dois é um grande "e se". A tensão é palpável, há muito a ser dito, mas eles não conseguem dizer, embora conversem bastante. Acho que cada vez que eles se olham, pensam na possibilidade do que poderia ter sido a relação deles se as coisas tivessem sido um pouco diferente. Então é um olhar pesado.

Nora fala sobre a palavra coreana "In-yeon" que significa um relacionamento cármico. Não necessariamente romântico, mas que trata de uma ligação entre essas duas almas através de vidas passadas. Obviamente o filme fala sobre o "In-yeon" como essa relação de outras vidas, mas também é uma metáfora para essas outras vidas nesta vida presente de Nora e Hae Sung, dessas outras vezes que eles se encontraram em diferentes momentos da vida e de alguma forma compartilharam um destino juntos.

Por mais que no fundo eu desejasse que os protagonistas ficassem juntos, não era tão simples. Para a Nora voltar a Coréia, abrir mão dos projetos pessoais, se reconectar aos valores coreanos com os quais ela não se identificava mais, tudo isso entrava em conflito com a vida que ela almejou pra si. Do mesmo modo para o Hae Sung, imigrar para um país que ele não fala a língua, o choque cultural, também não era uma possibilidade. O choro dolorido e pesado da Nora no final quando o Hae Sung foi embora é um pouco pela constatação de que por mais que eles se amassem não conseguiriam ficar juntos. É um filme, poético, bonito e ao mesmo tempo realista.

Doesn't hold a candle to the first two

Jackie's belated third entry into his Armour of God series, Chinese Zodiac unfortunately lumbers like a cheap DVD knock-off of one of his old classics. It's decent if unsophisticated family entertainment that demonstrates that Jackie can still put together creative and unique action set pieces. The problem stems from the fact that it lacks so many of Jackie's creative staples and goes way overboard in terms of preaching to the choir with characters practically stopping dead in their tracks to put on their moralising hat and deliver some earnest statement about national pride; there is certainly a feeling of toeing the party line found here that won't be found in his earlier films. Dealing with the film is like dealing with Jackie himself: you have to tune out the crappy stuff to appreciate the unique entertainer that lies within. That being said, Jackie doesn't phone it in as would be so easy with a legacy sequel like this, he still has some charisma to burn and despite the ugly and glossy digital sheen that coats the movie, it's very well shot and directed. Outside of Jackie the only other member of the cast I enjoyed was Kwon Sang-woo, he certainly made a good impression here and I hope I get to see more of him in future. Lacklustre, slow and overly long, Chinese Zodiac only hints at Jackie's winning combo of kineticism, martial arts and comedy despite being occasionally strikingly shot and having its share of populist fun, it just really doesn't do justice to Jackie's film heritage.

"Let go so you will be happy"

Down the River told the melancholic story of first love through the eyes of Krit, an openly gay high school student. This film was Director Nuchy Anucha Boonyawatana’s graduate school effort so I was lenient in my rating and criticism of it. The story was heavy with Buddhist and natural symbolism interwoven with the boys’ decisions about their futures and whether they would be together or apart.

Krit is convinced that if he gives offerings and prayers at nine different temples that his wish to be with Win forever will be granted. The two have bonded since childhood and their friendship has crossed over into something more intimate. Win is going to the academy in order to join the military which would end any type of relationship they might have. Win also refuses to believe he is gay despite their friendship blurring lines with being lovers. He has a girlfriend and knows the military and society will not be accepting of him as a gay man. Krit presses flowers and his memories of Win into a book that he keeps with him that becomes a symbol of his love. On the trip to the temple and hike to the Elephant Waterfall, the seventh of the falls, Krit hopes to convince Win to stay, but to his dismay Win invites two girls to go with them. Further dimming Krit’s hopes are the monk at the temple telling him at the beginning of the trip that in order to be happy he has to let go.

Nuchy filmed numerous scenes of water and the woods set to a score that perfectly matched the mood and natural background. Sadly, several scenes were too dark to see much of anything. I don’t know if that was by design, age, or poor equipment. The film was held back between the dark scenes and rudimentary acting. While Krit came across as more fully developed, Win was a bit of an enigma. Despite the more amateur issues, I enjoyed the film especially as the meaning of the title became clear.

Krit reminisced about his relationship with Win in an almost spiritually poetic manner. While the film had a universal theme of first love, it also showed how first love between members of the same sex faced even more hurdles in a time and place where their love wouldn’t be accepted. Sometimes a person can hold onto their first love and other times they have to let it go to the river of time.

Boy friends that don’t know they seem like boyfriends

I have never watched a movie that was a BL before, but this is one of the best movies I’ve seen in my lifetime it felt like a series, but was longer than a normal show which was perfect for the whole storyline. I have to say that I’ve seen many food BLs, but the food that was shown on this movie looked so good that if I watch it for a second time I may need to be eating at the same time or else I’ll be hungry. Also I have to say that this movies plot was better than normal show plots. I will warn that there may be spoilers ahead.
The storyline was a nice and warm storyline with just a tiny bit of sadness just like a tiny one. At the start we see that Aki is at a home with no one around him until we see Haru at school and trying to make it home so that Aki and Him can unpack into their new home. We see that Aki loves to cook because he has a whole box just for cooking supplies and Haru likes photography because he has his own professional camera and editing apps on his computer. While Aki is trying to find his headband turns out it was on Haru and that’s when the roommates decided that Aki will cook for the both of them and Haru will clean up the house and Aki’s mess. After that we see Aki whipping up the most delicious looking meal on earth and if Haru said it was bussin then it must be bussin. We also get to meet their friends which consists of 4 other people which is two men two girls and one of the girls supposedly had a crush on Haru back in high school put it ended because Aki and Haru were super duper close. I swear they have the most precious and sweetest relationship/friendship in the whole world because it showed that they need each other from when Haru’s sister came and made Aki scared that he had a girlfriend to Haru making food for Aki when Aki was so busy doing a report he forgot about and almost died from boredom from studying which is so real because I literally act like that and made Aki so happy that Haru made him food. Until they had their conflict which was Haru getting an offer to study in England for photography because his photos of Aki were so good, but didn’t tell Aki until he found out from his friend at their Halloween party. That did make Aki sad because he doesn’t really know what he wants to do in life, but is afraid that his journey with Haru is ending. Until at the very end Haru said that he won’t be going to England because he can’t see his future without Aki in it. I have five things to add which is Aki looks so cute with the devil headband, Haru is so cute when he was crying in his dream when chief penguin wasn’t their, Aki buying Haru another giant version of his chief penguin, when Aki got drunk and fell asleep onto Haru and cuddled him, and the ending credits scene were they both said that some people may not see this scene because some people just click off when the movie ends, but I didn’t. I literally recommend this movie it was the cutest thing on Earth!

Leave everything in your hands and head straight to watch this absolutely amazing movie

On an ordinary day, the Incheon Airport Bridge turns into a terrifying battlefield when heavy fog hits, leading to a series of devastating accidents. As the survivors try to understand what is happening, a pack of mutated military dogs is released and begins hunting humans mercilessly. In the midst of this chaos stands Cha Jung-won, a government official who finds himself having to fight for his life and the life of his young daughter, Cha Kyung-min.
Tensions quickly escalate as the attacks escalate, as father and daughter face not only the brutality of military dogs, but also the collapse of the bridge infrastructure. Every passing moment becomes a test of their resilience, as they discover that the fog is not the only threat, but that there are greater and more dangerous forces behind this disaster.

With outstanding direction and stunning cinematography, “Project Silence” takes you on a journey of tension and fear. The nightmarish atmosphere that the film creates makes you feel as if you are trapped on that cursed bridge, trying to survive at any cost.
The film combines high-tension action scenes with emotional relationships between father and daughter, adding human depth to the story. It also addresses themes such as sacrifice and resilience in the face of great risks. Cha Kyung-min appears as a brave and determined girl, and she plays a crucial role in the group's survival, making her character one of the bright spots in this exciting film.
