      Ok, this is not only a great idea for a video (to compare Korea and Hollywood), but this is SO WELL DONE that I need to say THANKS to the people who put this together! I have trouble finishing an email! To edit, do plot summaries, and give info as to where to watch....great, great job!
      I've seen about half of these movies, and there's no question that South Korea has a fantastic film industry.
      With the world mostly under quarantine, movies like these can be good distraction. Better days are coming everybody, someday we'll have a stroll along the Han river and look for the monster from "The Host". Stay safe.

      Montage starring Uhm Jung Hwa. It has to be one of the best I've ever seen. It's available on Amazon. Free if you have a Prime account. Plot: A kidnapping from 7 years earlier. The statute of limitations runs out in less than 2 weeks when a clue is found. Then another kidnapping with the same MO (modus operandi). A plot twist you don't see coming and an ending that rinds your heart.

      Not only that. Hollywood movies emotional touch tends to be way to cliche. Like in every zombie movie for example, there are always those lovebirds with the typical salvation in the last moment that leads to one death or a happy ever after. Its so boring at this point, i would rather be impressed that they would remove the lovebirds idea rather than improving it

    • @moribundmurdoch
      @moribundmurdoch 3 ปีที่แล้ว +39

      ​@@baphithi Don't you think watching films in different languages give them distinct personalities. Some movies I cannot imagine becoming made in another language [See: OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies] that movie has to be french in my mind. For Korean stuffs I couldn't imagine "Welcome to Waikiki" being made in another language besides Korean. I suppose action stuffs would be good if they made in them in English like the kdrama "Healer". The movie Peninsula tried to splash in some English maladroitly. I definitely see an effectiveness when English is used in action films though. Methinks Cantonese, Russian, and German -- also make great languages for action films. P.S. I'm totally talking through my hat -- I hope you get the gist of this message though -- I hope I'm making a smidgen of sense here.

      Agree....I've been into Hallyu wave since 2001 and I always find something new in Korean movies each year. They are developed to be better and better, but one thing hasn't changed at all...the way they tell the stories and there are always messages under messages. Koreans are recognized for their unique and amazing storytelling styles.

      Of course Hollywood is not the only movie industry in the world, but it's probably the one that gets exported the most. I'd like to watch Bollywood movies or movies from other countries, but they're hard to come by :( This is also because there are very few people who translate them.
      I did watch Chinese, Japanese, Thai movies that had English translations. But I doubt that movies from those countries will make it on the big movie screen where I live. Hollywood movies on the other hand, they are 100% sure to be shown (of course, I refer mostly to the pre-virus times, as I don't know how things will evolve. Right now, theatres/cinemas are closed here). Not even movies from the neighboring countries were shown.

    “Parasite” is the last movie I saw in a theater. Absolutely loved it. Bong is a great director. It’s a movie so rich in detail it’s worth viewing several times. The characters and setting are specific, but the story is universal. It’s awards and acclaim are well deserved. “Train to Busan” is the only zombie movie I have enjoyed in years. I have been Korean drama fans for years, since accidentally stumbling upon the sci-fi series “My Love from the Star”. I was gob smacked, nothing on American TV prepared me for it. I continued my journey in Korean drama and found another favorite “The Scholar Who Walks at Night”. It opens with a high dolly shot than pans down to a close up to the face of the vampire villain of the series. That sequence and lightning was golden age Hollywood technique at its best! No American TV is created with those production values. I tell my friends reading the English subtitles is a very small price to pay for excellent entertainment.

    I've been watching Korean movies and dramas for almost 20 years now. FANTASTIC story telling and entertainment. I often cry at the end of a drama because I feel so attached to the characters. Aside from the Marvel series of movies, nothing has held a candle to Korean cinema for a LONG time! The Abyss Special Edition is probably the last western movie that was as good as Korean movies.
