The director already told the audience everything from the beginning. Don't be misled.
He constantly gave me all the answers in various scenes. Nevertheless, the audience continued to be misled, doubted and disbelieved. That's the beauty of this movie.
The audience was equally misled as the main character in the movie.
You showed me the bait on the hook from the beginning. That's the audience. Haha.
The woman wearing white clothes and throwing stones is a good ghost who is like a guardian spirit protecting the village.
sorry.. but the truth is exactly the opposite. That girl is the boss of evil(jap & shaman).. The essential point of this movie is the crime caused by doubt.. and that girl constantly drive dad to have a doubt about jap.. so finally kill him by his own hand.. I recommend you to focus on it..
True. When she screams after the protagonist in the finale her eyes glow. Little detail.
The woman was the guardian spirit all along.
Yes. And the deleted scene only proves this.
@@sansebastiansj If you rewatch it, it makes sense. You don't even have to watch the deleted scene.
@@sonik120 Oh, totally. I believed in the woman in white since her first scene when she was throwing rocks on the protagonist and creates like a protecting ring around him. It connects with the Bible. "Who is without sin throw the first stone." She throws them because she is like an angel withou the sin. Also. The deleted scene is just a nice bouns.
It is a rural area, and the reason it is set as Japanese is because we easily become wary and fearful of unfamiliar foreigners. Historically, Japan invaded Korea, so it reminds us of that situation and makes us feel that way even more. Just because he was a foreigner, Japanese man was constantly portrayed as being unfairly persecuted, but that was just to deceive you. The person who played the Japanese man was a famous Japanese actor in Japan. If he had regarded it as an attack on Japan and felt it was racist, he would not have appeared in the Korean film
In Korea, it was believed that every village had a guardian deity, and there were totems called jangseung that prevented bad luck.
During the ceremony, male shaman nails this jangseung and made a living sacrifice, but there is no ritual for making a living sacrifice in Korea.
I think setting an outsider as Japanese is intended setup by the directer. Because When it comes to Japanese, there's a bit of mild resentment still exist among Koreans. especially in rural areas and older generations like the father, tend to be more wary of Japanese people. That's not a secret to korean audience as well. But at the same time, to be fair to the villagers, the Japanese really does behave oddly in ways that no local does, and indeed creates a sense of unease within the village! Thus, when the villagers say "its because of that Japanese," the audience can't purely accept their words, but secretly thinking, "Maybe the villagers are just prejudiced against the Japanese. because he's Japanese!" Despite the villagers were pointing the Japanese man numerous times, the audience (due to their background knowledge)secretly hold the doubt towards the villagers. Since the audience starts with doubt, so they end up trapped like the father and unsure who to trust at the climax. Directer made the audience experience the same thing with the father at the same time by setting the outsider as Japanese.
Also, a lot of people don't know how horrific and how recent the Japanese invasion of Korea was. There are grandmothers and grandfathers alive today that went through that experience so that pain is still fresh for a lot of people.
These people are so focused on the fact that the Japanese guy is being racially discriminated (+poor dog) against that too early convince he's not a villain.
Paradoxically, they are taking the bait thrown by this movie.
개소리 그냥 픽션이지 일본인 이라 그런게 아니지 역사적으로 봐도 독일 나치 수준였어 더했ㅈㅣ 덜하지 않아? 지들이 양심 찔리니 너같은 애들이 댓 다는거야 니가 말 안하면 감춰져서 좋았겠지만 민낮을 드러내며 멍청한 댓을다냐?
Seriously. Like another comment said, movies like Get Out have a whole bunch of white people being the bad guys but that movie was praised. While this movie has one Japanese guy getting suspicion and suddenly the whole movie is "racist."
미끼를 물어 버렸어
The underwear worn by the Japanese man and the Shaman is the same -- gives away that they're working together.
Also in Korean folklore, there's a benevolent village ghost that protects its inhabitants. That’s probably why she was wearing things from the victims.
What I still remember after watching this firm was that I was very perplexed and disturbed. I was perplexed because I didn't know who to believe and I was disturbed because I could've made the same mistake/wrong choice which results in a fatal consequence although he did everything he could at his best. Yeah I still remember my heart was pounding as he had to make the final call at the end, fearing what if his choice was wrong. Anyhow I looked up what the hell the director wanted to show and when I found out his intent I was blown away. You guys should look it up too. I don't want to spoil the joy of it.
이영화의 시작점에 일본인 외지인이 낚시바늘에 미끼를 끼우는게 영화 전반을 관통하는 핵심 장면입니다. 심지어 관객에게 미끼를 던지는 은유의 표현입니다. 좀비, 전염병, 외지인에대한 경계, 한일감정, 심지어 무속신앙에 대한 반감까지 지속적인 주인공의 심리적 불안과 불신을 관객도 동일하게 경험하게 하면서 결말부 결국 관객은 본인이 위의 여러 이유로 단순히 일본인 외지인을 의심한게 아닌가 하는 양심적 후회를 가지면서도 여전히 의심하는 젊은 목사와 동일한 마음을 가지며 혼란스러워하면서 결국은 미끼를 물었다는 결론으로 이어진다고 봅니다.
Korea is a country where 70 percent of its land is mountainous.
In the olden days, Koreans believed that each village had a guardian deity who protected it. They called it a "정령(spirit)" Spirits are difficult to translate into English, but they combine fairy + ghost. The identity of the woman in the white outfit in the work is a "spirit."
So the being that she referred to as "Grandma" would be "대정령(Great Spirit)" the mother of spirits
The reason she picked up the items that the villagers dropped was to protect them from the devil and its spy. The "spirit" is a sacred being that protects the mountains and villages
한국뿐만 아니라 왠만한 다른 나라도 다 이러한 비슷한것들이 있었다. 한국만의 특별한것이 아니다.
@@maverick3399 So? What's your point?
Is Get Out a racist movie, too?
Race in this film was only used as a tool to confuse the audience, not maliciously used by the director to denigrate Japan. I hope there's no strange misunderstanding.
ㅋㅋ 설정이지 일본인 들은 그렇게 생각 할수도 폄화? 일본인은 그럴수도 역사적 으로 봐도 나쁜짓 많이해서 양심 찔려 댓글 까지 남기시나? 안하면 나도 이런 댓글 안쓴다 굳이 부들 부들 부들 차별이 아닌데 영화는 영화로 봐라 일본 그배우도 고맙다고 인터뷰 하던데 이런 댓다는게 난 ㅂㅅ이야 하는거지 😂😂
race and nationality are two different things and so are the movie synopsis's I don't get the correlation here?
인종차별은 흑인백인 있는 나라들이 하는거지 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
단일민족에 인종차별이 어딨냐 지들이 인종차별하니까 단일민족국가도 인종차별 하는줄아노
와 곡성을 보다니 great choice
Finally some high quality horror movie!
One thing I noticed about Korean cinema or at least the movies that interest me - they're not a fan of clean, happy endings where everything is neatly resolved, the protagonist walks away with a clear and bright future ahead of him.
I agree with you. Korean cinema knows to touch the viewer's heart but also knows to give disturbing feelings in the end. 😅 This movie was one of the movies that disturbed me even after the movie ended
Nah, only those universally well-known ones are disturbing.
The Crazy woman is kind of 'Guardian Deity of Village' called 'Sungjoo-sin (God who protect residences)' in Korean Ritual way.
The reason that The crazy woman worn/use dead people's stuff is The crazy woman lead dead people soul to Heaven by using their stuff as a kind of payment(Tribution).
Japanese Guy and Shaman work together for hunting people from village to village.
Father ignored Guardian Deity's advise, so it lead to bad Ending.
The Sharman ran away from village, bcs Guardian Deity(Crazy woman) send a Warning by Nose Bleeding.
Guardian Deity can't harm Real Person Directly. so She uses 'purifying unholy thing inside stomach'-way toward Sharman.
and also She can't Force to stop Father. and at that moment, She didn't wear Daughter's hair pin and left it on ground bcs she don't wanna lead Daughter to heaven.
up
I love this explanation
“Truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “this very night, before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times.” Like Peter, Jong-gu couldn't wait until the rooster crows.
39:50 You don't need to be uncomfortable because it's intended. People suspect the stranger with no rational reason. the only reason is just because he is a stranger, especially Japanese. Considering the theme(?) of this movie, 'appearing as a different race' is a bate for hooking human's evil nature (racism).
Anyway, you chose very difficult movie.😅
Overall, the movie shows how helpless human beings are against being sinned. In this film, suspecting other people is the sin. So, The passage in the bible about Thomas's doubt appears at the beginning of the movie. I have tons of things to talk about this film because it's one of my favorite. But let me say a few things for your reference.
Based on the director's interview.
1. the stranger is inspired by Jesus (who was a stranger in Jerusalem)
2. The ghost woman represents god who always(?) sends us incomplete and confusing signals.😂(the director told he felt that way)
3. Taking picture stands for taking over soul whatever its purpose. that's why people who commit the sin are photographed.
4. It doesn't matter whether the stranger is a real devil or not. He just said "myself". The priest terrified because he just realized his sin. The director said "I don't know what exactly the stranger was doing there. I thought he was trying to save something or someone. What he is seen as a form of devil Inspired by the story in which some apostles did not recognize the resurrected Jesus. I wanted to leave it to the audience about what to believe."
What do you want to believe?
what you see or what you want to see?
And are you sure that you can make a right decision?
Oh...so many things to talk about that I can't finish all night long. 😅😅
Wow thanks
Who was the evil one in this movie.
mu myeong is a mountain god who protects the village, and Ilgwang worships outsiders
a servant who holds a memorial service for the villagers to accept the devil

The film is about misdirection and confusion, which represents Good vs Evil.
Main message of the movei in my opinion is, never take information as it is given and do not be judge people or events when you lack enough informations. The movie starts with fishing and have some important conv about fishing early in the game as fishing is Korea can also mean fooling someone.
i think it's scarier than that: No amount of information can ensure good judgement if the forces of good and evil are playing with you.
이 영화는 분석과 해석을 정리해놓은 영상들을 보면 작품성을 이해할수있습니다.
단순한 전염병이라는것을 간과하고 시청한 사람들의 마음대로 범인을 지목하고 답을 정해놓고 보고 있는 관객들이 미끼를 물어버렸다는것.
그것이 이영화의 엄청난 작품성이죠.
여자가 착한귀신
Finally!!! I feel like you’re listening to my recommendations 😫
Thank you so much for the reaction.❤️
The director trusts the audience
Thanks again for great choice!
That girl who first shows up in 7:52 I've seen her is soooo many movies. Chun Woo-hee, she's been in 26 films and more recently has been staring in TV series. She's won multiple best actress awards. She's in a new fantasy series starting next month.
Always excited to see my favorite duo react to Korean cinema! Emotional and critical intelligence are off the charts. 최고의 팀!
OMG OMG OMG MY FAVORITE MOVIE ALL THE TIME
Highly recommending the Chaser by the same director Na Hong Jin and the revenge trilogy by director Chan Wook Park
It took me twice watching the movie to fully understand who's good & whos evil , and the message the movie was trying to convey . The first time went by so fast all i remembered was me being lost with all the twists & turns paired with gruelsome scenes 😂
Woman in white was good. The shaman was working with the evil Japanese guy, but at one point (the ritual) the evil spirt has left the Japanese guy, that's why he was scared, and running. When the protagonist entered the house he destroyed the protection that Woman in white planted, because he was stained with sin (the murder on the road).
The Wailing, especially its ending, will definitely sit with you for a while and is considered by many (including myself) to be one of the best SK horror movies of all time. Another one is A Tale of Two Sisters, which is haunting, scary, and beautiful.
Some recs:
The Handmaiden is the film I always refer to as the best film of 2016 that didn't win Best Picture before Parasite broke down barriers in 2019. An easy recommendation and a true masterpiece.
Some heavier stuff in the genre that SK does best; Thrillers:
Burning (one of the best slow-burn thrillers in the past decade starring Steven Yeun. Think, Gone Girl vibes)
Memories of Murder (one of Bong Joon Ho's earliest and best films about the first ever serial killer case in SK)
I Saw the Devil (intense, disturbing, gory, badass. Warning: May leave you feeling empty inside)
Thirst (a wholly unique vampire romance from the brilliantly twisted Park Chan Wook)
A Bittersweet Life (simply one of my favorite SK gangster films starring Lee Byun Hun)
Some underrated FUN gems that I think you all will enjoy:
The Beauty Inside (sweet romance with a fun twist)
Castaway (quirky indie-style romance about a man who is marooned on an island in the Han river in the heart of Seoul)
Masquerade (highly entertaining period piece based on a true story royalty switcheroo. One of Lee Byun Hun's best films, imo)
Enjoy!
HI!! do u have a letterbox because i am so intrigued with ur recommendations i definitely can see u have a REALLY GREAT taste when it comes to film! i would love to watch all the films you would recommend!!

One of the best movies i ever seen . Mystery a d master piece.
ah finally somebody watch this
정말 특이한 설정과 결코 예상할 수 없는 전개와 결말.
그런데 몰입할 수 밖에 없는....
엔딩후 못참고 이 영화에 대한 분석글을 찾아보고 나니 훨씬 더 흥미로워졌죠.
Often times we question how whimsical the God (or the nature) can be, "he works in a mysterious manner", while the evil seems to be overly present in our life. I think the movie is asking questions about this ambiguity of the religions and the notion of belief. Loved following you guys :) looking forward to see more Korean movie reviews!!
드디어
But they were startled and frightened and thought they saw a spirit. And he said to them, “Why are you troubled, and why do doubts arise in your hearts? See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself. Touch me, and see. For a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have.” Luke 24:37-39
A Japanese man experimented with some mushrooms. A male shaman is in the same team with a Japanese man.
Female ghosts are Korean ghosts called Samsin Grandmothers. Samsin Grandmothers protect children.
Thank you for this movie reaction❤😂
The quality of the subtitles is not good. It seems that the subtitles only play a role of about 20 percent in expressing the movie
oh...actually, maybe less than 10 percent
This movie completely turned me into a pessimist...lol....😁😁😁
Villains' perfect victory.
곡성은 대한민국을 대표하는 호러 영화입니다.
I have seen many horror movies being a movie nerd.But,there are only 2 movies ever which have scared the living crap out of me.The Shining and this one.I was not able to sleep after watching this one.An amazing experience.
I know this movie is confusing but it is suppose to feel confused. It is all about baiting like that devil. We all get baited in life. That's what movie is saying.
Finally 🙂
9:52 Wooyoungwoo's father appears

I know Jaby & Achara already reacted to the trailer for "I SAW THE DEVIL".. But I hope someday they/anyone will react to that movie soon..pls like & comment this so they will eventually HAD TO watch that movie 😅 no matter what..😂😂😂
You guys should watch Bedevilled.
Watch Happiness or The worst of evil next
one of the greatest cinematic achievements out of South Korea imo on par with the exorcist
지렁이(미끼) = 악마의 속삭임 = 영화를 보고 있는 너는 미끼를 물것인가 물지 않을것인가? 아니면 이미 미끼를 문것이가? ㅎ
The Japanese man was the evil spirit/devil and the woman in white was a good spirit. The Shaman was working with the Japanese man/devil and the rituals he was performing was to get rid of the woman’s protection spells/rituals on the village. All of the pictures of the people were all of the ones who wavered in their faith in her and ultimately caused their families death. Another fun fact is, the devil and the woman both took items from people in order to perform their rituals.
12.12 the day......
Plz Achara watch Queen of Tears PPLLLLZZZZ. u guys surely gonna enjoy it
👍
have you all watch gonjiam: haunted asylum
Watch Clash landing on you and Devil Judge please
최민식 주연의 “파묘” 꼭 보시길
Jesus said, “I say to you, Peter, before the rooster crows today, you will deny three times that you know Me.” We take sides with what we think will benefit us, out of greed, jealousy, or resentment, instead of choosing what we know to be the right thing to do. This is how the evil prevails. However, if you are willing to make a stand for the good despite of your lost, it is God you will find suffering next to you.
Y’all should react to The Medium! One of the best Asian horror movies out there!
Have you guys reacts to "I saw the devil" (2010) korean film?
저도 이 영화를 이해하지 못합니다. 그러나 장마철의 그 어둡고 축축한 분위기를 즐겨서 만족했습니다.

여러분들과 리액션 하시는 분들은 미끼를 제대로 물었습니다.
정답이라는 것은 없겠지만 주위의 섣부른 언행과 판단들이 한사람에게는 판단에 있어 크게 좌지우지 될수있는 문제이며 큰피해로 다가올수있을 듯 합니다. 여러분들은 아직도 누가 잘못인지를 찾고 있습니다. 결국 선택은 본인 몫입니다
This one is a pretty wild horror because you (we, as a viewer) will never learn what ACTUALLY happened. there are many theories but we'll truly never know.
Watch exhuma

This is a spoiler.
I think the subject of this film is Jesus Christ from the perspective of a Jewish people in Jerusalem. The Japanese (Jun Kunimura) correspond to Jesus Christ, and the Korean residents correspond to the Jewish people. In the first scene, Jun Kunimura's fishing corresponds to Jesus telling his disciples, "You will become fishers of men." Indeed, Jun Kunimura is using his identity as bait to lure Korean residents and moviegoers.
In the New Testament, Jesus performs miracles by curing people's illnesses. However, in the movie, Jun Kunimura is pointed out as the cause of the disease. This means that from the perspective of the Jewish people who hated Jesus and crucified him, Jesus would have been seen as the cause of the disease.
The male shaman (Il Gwang) in the movie corresponds to the Apostle Paul. In the New Testament, the Apostle Paul is recorded as a Jew who severely oppressed Christian believers, but later converted to Christianity and spread it widely. However, from a Jewish perspective, Apostle Paul would have been seen as a spy who was in league with Jesus from the beginning.
In the final scene, Jun Kunimura's transformation into demon form after showing the nail holes in his palms is a demonstration of the Jews' perception when they heard that Jesus had been resurrected. The Jews would have thought this was not a holy miracle but a devil's black magic.
In the movie, several ambiguous scenes were inserted to prevent Jun Kunimura from being seen as a devil. For example, the scene where Jun Kunimura performs a ritual after seeing the dead body of a Korean (Park Chun-bae) in a truck, or the scene where Jun Kunimura sheds tears while running away. This reflects the story of Jesus resurrecting Lazarus from the dead and the story of Jesus crying in the Garden of Gethsemane. Through these scenes, people have difficulty guessing the identity of Jun Kunimura.
People who have seen this movie generally think that Jun Kunimura is the devil, which is the same phenomenon that happened 2000 years ago when the Jews in Jerusalem saw Jesus as the devil and executed him. This means that even if we go back 2,000 years ago, there is a high possibility that we would have thrown stones at Jesus. This means that it was difficult to determine the identity of Jesus.
Na Hong-jin, the director of this film, is a Christian and said in an interview:
“Seeing a world where people who had no reason to be harmed were being harmed, I began to question God. That’s why I started this movie.”
So, I think Na Hong-jin created the story of Jesus from the perspective of the Jews of Jerusalem. In other words, this movie is a decalcomania version of the New Testament. This film unfolds the New Testament from a 180-degree flipped perspective.
Nevertheless, most Korean audiences do not realize this, which may be due to Koreans' anti-Japanese sentiment. This corresponds to the antipathy of the Jews of Jerusalem toward pagans.
