- This one kept me guessing all the way to the end. The acting, cinematography, and practical effects were great. My favorite scenes were the shaman and Japanese man having their "ritual battle," and the final reveal of the devil. Thanks everyone for the recommendation!

Korean shaman is the same team with Japanese Devil. The woman in white is a traditional Korean village ghost who protects the Korean village. I realized that The shaman was same team with Japanese devil quickly when I saw the Korean shaman's underwear. His underwear was the same with Japanese diper underwear. In old Korean villages, there is some myth that there is a guard ghost who protects the villages.
리액션 채널 중에 이분 채널이 가장 좋음. 다른 채널들은 조회수 올리려고 일부러 오버액션하는게 눈에 훤히 보임.
반면에 이분은 진짜 솔직하게 리액션하심.
🙏 thank you so much
The director is talking about doubt in our heart. He is just casting his lines in our minds.
I usually don't recommend this movie to foreigner because it contains a lot of details only Koreans would pick up. For example at 33:19 the shaman is wearing diaper looking underwear which is Japanese. Not Korean. Korean audience would see that something isn't right from that.
The movie purposely leaves you confusing just as the main character is confused about what's going on and who to trust. The girl is supposed to be guardian spirit of the town. In the old Korean shamanism, every town has totems that guards the town.
And the shaman and Japanese were not fighting each other exchanging hex. Japanese was reviving the dead truck driver (hence the photo), girl spirit was attacking the Japanese (why he collapsed), and the shaman was actually attacking and hurting the daughter.
대박
may i ask, why did the japanese revive the dead truck driver?

This is a great film. It’s complex and compelling and SO atmospheric! Extremely re-watchable as a non-Korean. I feel like I pick up something new every time.
Great reaction! 4:29 you should also watch "The Chaser (2008)", Na Hong-jin's debut.
the complexity in your head is just what the director intended
Shaman was the Devil's accomplice the whole time.
For those struggling to understand the plot of this movie, please read this comment. This film leaves room for individual interpretation through its intricate scenes, but it is fundamentally rooted in a story that should be comprehensible to all. It revolves around an event where an outsider shaman comes to the village to perform a ritual that turns the village into chaos. The reason behind this ritual is that the shaman offers something to the devil to gain supernatural powers. If the villagers were aware of this fact, they would drive the harmful shaman away. To earn the trust of the villagers, one of them pretends to show signs that they can expel the evil spirits. However, these two shamans are actually working together as a team.
Within the village, there is also a guardian deity who fights against evil spirits to help the villagers. Yet, the protagonist of this movie, a police officer, struggles to discern whose words to trust. Furthermore, the movie emphasizes the malevolence of the evil spirits by distorting the teachings of Jesus and mocking his words and actions throughout the narrative.
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.
it would be very confusing to understand because of the caption 'Doubt'.
In Korean language, 'doubt' and 'suspect' are not distinguished, but are one word, 'uisim' which is more like meaning of 'suspicion' than 'doubt'.
The movie starts with paragraphs about the 'Thomas's doubt' in the bible, so as a Korean I could easily assume this would be about suspicion because Thomas's 'UISIM' is actually used as a negative meaning of 'suspicious' in Korean, not 'doubtful'. Or it could have been the director's intention considering the two meanings of 'uisim'. All the characters who suffered in the movie suspect other people, but all they needed were to doubt their suspicions.
Here's the simplest description I can explain about this film.
'Suspicion' which means believing only what you want to believe is like taking a bait put in by evil.
If evil exists, it does not need to do anything but putting a small bait tempting human's evil nature and only waits like fishing.
In this case, being a stranger or, put him on a certain situation is just enough as a bait. Especially different races would be more effective.
the movie is the wailing for how helpless human beings are...
to be so easily seduced by such trivial bait.
Additionally, according to the director's interview, The girl represents God.
the director who grew up in a Protestant family said he felt like God sends us very confusing messages, not in clear way.
And about the shaman, we don't know exactly who he is. He collects souls like the stranger but not clear that he has same reason.
we can just assume he is on the same side as the stranger. but in some way, this kind of things are not important.
we don't know exactly if the stranger is a actual devil or not. I mean typical devil that has a certain form like a monster.
[He was just seen as a devil because of the priest's 'suspicion'.] This is the theme of the film.
Thus the priest sinned and the evil (no matter what form it is) took his soul.
One more thing.😅
When the stranger said what Jesus told Thomas, the priest shocked and spoke "Oh Lord,"
The director wanted this to be seen in two ways.
The first one is, of course, "Oh Lord, help me."
The second one is...
"In the eyes of the people in Jerusalem who killed Jesus, a stranger from nowhere like Bethlehem might have seemed like a devil." the dirctor said.
"Since the priest realized his sin, he might have thought the stranger as god."
This is my favorite horror movie, and maybe even my favorite movie period. So glad to see your reaction. I wish more channels would watch this gem.
I've watched all the old and new classics, even not being a real fan of the genre... This is right on the top!
By the way, the Japanese actor who played the devil in this movie also played some small role in the famous American movie "Kill Bill vol.1" by the director Quentin Tarantino. He was one of the Japanese gang members at the bar with Lucy Lui. And his head was cut off by Lucy Lui with her sword - very soon after he said something rude to her at the bar, haha.
Man, I love this film. I just randomly watched it one time knowing nothing about it and was absolutely blown away.
The one part that confused me is why the Japanese man (the demon) was scared and crying when he was running through the wood. I think when the exorcism was happening, the ghost lady (the guardian of the village) actually did exorcise the demon. So I think when they chased him through the forest, that was actually just a Japanese man and not the demon. And of course they run him to his eventual death which is the sin the guardian was talking about. And what allows the demon to again possess the body.
Thanks to your reaction. You have absolutely a great taste in picking movie, in particular given halloween season is closing in. This one is quite hard to catch because in-depth knowledge on the asian shamanism, especially korean one is needed to fully understand. Just acting and vibe make it worth watching though. Director Na made a couple of more movies based off the asian shamanism. There's one, as far as I remember, based on thai out there. BTW, my personal taste tells 'the yellow sea' is his best work so far. Its magnitude and depth of storyline competes with the godfather series in my opinion. And of course, don't miss out 'the chaser' if you are determined to fully enjoy halloween. This horror master knows how to chill viewers to the bone.
Maybe the truth doesn't exist in this movie. When you start to doubt someone, you believe that suspicion. And that belief becomes true. So I think the second half of this movie is closer to an illusion presented by the characters' doubts and beliefs rather than the truth itself.
I would definitely put goksung and midsommar as top 5 horror movies of all time on my own list. The difference is I am willing to watch goksung again, partly because I couldn't utterly understand, but I don't wanna watch midsommar again maybe because it has a higher level of atrocity than goksung. They both makes me hate psychics anyway. 😅
young lady = local god, genius
japanese = devil
shaman = devil's servant
thank you Kase West🥰
this is definitely a movie you need to rewatch to get it
The director just hooked the audience
There's still a lot of people on the bait😢
I need more of your reactions, Kase!
interesting analysis and reasoning at 38:00
at 39:50 when you said "what if she is the ghost?"
I thought myself that It was the intention of the director that keep confusing the audiences
even on the poster of this movie, there is a catchphrase like "do not get deceived" or something
although I had watched this movie, I could still enjoy the movie following your reactions
thank you
Thank you for your reaction. This movie is very difficult. The movie is about the drug substance of mushrooms. Japanese Man and Korean male shaman are the cause. This film has many interpretations😂
Thank you for the video. I want to see the reaction video of the Korean movie "SVAHA: THE SIXTH FINGER". Please.
Love your taste in picking movies 이분이 보시는 영화 전부 제 취향 크으
주인공 : 나한테 왜이래?
악마 : 미끼를 물었으니까 (아무런 이유가 없음. 그냥 절대악)
Great film. Thanks for this video man
It’s definitely a movie that needs to see several times as well as search for theory to understand. The scene where the shaman and the japanese are doing rituals is actually using montage expressions to mislead the audience. It seems like the japanese is actually fighting the girl spirits there, not the shaman. The girl spirits appear to be the guardian of the village, so she’s got power as well, so when the shaman meet her, she uses her power to force him to leave the village, but after that the shaman get pulled over by the japanese. That’s why he call the police dad and saying the girl is evil to help the japanese.
remember watching this, the first 30min~1hr was like ???!!! then by the time it ended i was like wow!! wow!! great movie!
결국 주인공 경찰처럼 우리도 영화 속에서 누가 진짜 신인지 모른다는 점이 핵심인 거 같아요.
그게 믿음의 본질인 거 같아요. 모든 것이 혼란스럽고 인간의 지혜로는 결코 있는 그대로의 진리를 알 수 없다는 것.
그래서 결국 믿음은 이해를 뛰어넘는 것일 수 밖에 없다는 것. 진지한 리액션과 함께 이 영화를 다시 보니 새로운 감상이 생겼어요. 감사합니다.
Woman in white = spirit. In Korean legend, a spirit exists in each village. The spirit is a sacred being that protects the village and protects the village people. My guess is that the old woman she is talking about is the Great Spirit: the mother of spirits. The reason she possesses people's things (hairpins, clothes) is to protect them.
Mushroom problem maybe is the reality, Doubt and punishment maybe the theme for film, and other one is the director throw the bait to audience to make that doubt?that women is a ghost or not, I really no have idea. Just is personal little thaughts here. Good to see ur reacts Sir, have a good one. w/ peace! -.-*
Recommend: Forgotten (Korean Movie)
이거는 한국사람도 관람하고 계속 검색하게 하고 추측하게 하고 해석하게 했습니다. 당신의 반응과 같았어요.
좀 어려울수 있는 영화
This is peak psychological horror! This is one of the films that made me take a break from Korean cinema. Just mentally taxing
Have you watched Sabaha? 사바하 I highly recommend this movie.
More Park Chan Wook movies pls.
Why my subscribe button turn back to unsubed? I don't know why! When new korean movie come out sir,I'm waiting for it! Hayaya :)
14:44
let he who is without sin cast the first stone.
😱😱😱😱😱😱👍👍👍👍👍👍
To me, this film is one of greatest movie ever among all korean flims although I am not a big fan of any of those.. Occultism. Also, it feels like very-well-made hollywood movie with Koreans speaking Korean directed by... like I dunno, Ari aster or David Fincher (+David Linch)?
Actually this movie is so great but for foreigners it might hard yo digest Because it talk about shaman and all the devil and how korean handle it i can said it like korean culture and there Japanese person too. only korean will understand it well this movie
You've watched The Wailing, Mother and The host but never done "Oldboy"?
How do you watch this movie in the dark? 😅
리뷰 잘봤습니다. 그런데 아직 누구도
Kase West 님에게 'hello ghost'를 추천 안했나요 ?
아직 시청하지 않은 영화면 추천합니다
같이 보는거 같았어요
Please react to The Chaser 2008 or I saw the Devil. Best thriller ever made
I highly recommend you to check out the Korean horror film, Exhuma 😊
What’s your top 3 psychological ological horror movies ?
I don’t think I could name a top 3, but I know the movie that scared me the most was The Mothman Prophecies.
@@KaseWest will be checking that out !
It’s a scary movie in itself, but one of the main reasons it really stuck with me, is because it’s partly based on true events. Look up the history of the Mothman sightings when you get time.

It’s on the list 👍
Watch a hard day 2014 korean
All of Na Hong-jin's movies are great.
This movie is fuc*ed up! Took me years to rewatch it! But, damn, it's fucking amazing! Right on the top of my horror films! And I don't even like the genre that much, but this is much more than horror!

Agreed
Whait... What??? This is TH-cam! 🤣
Nothing is good move in this movie.
Joker 2019 next ?
I’ve already seen it. Loved it.
@@KaseWest you react to it link ?
Oh no, sorry I watched it before I had my channel.
I'd like to recommend you a korean horror film 'bedevilled'. You would like it.
나홍진은 이 영화를 코메디 라고 정의했죠. 수많은 관객이 이 영화의 의미에 매달리고 무수한 해석을 쏟아냈죠. 여자아이는 성폭행을 당한걸까요? 누구힌테? 일본인? 아니면 친아버지? 암시들은 매우 미묘하고 복선들은 이중적입니다. 그들은 왼전히 이 영화에 미쳤던거죠. 저도 그랬고요. 하지만 이 영화의 맨 처음을 환기해보세요. 미끼 그리고 미끼로 낚겠다. 예, 우리는 모두 나홍진의 미끼에 홀딱 낚여서 파닥파닥거렸던 겁니다. 거대한 코메디. 좀비씬이 그걸 확실하게 알려주죠
내 기준에 봉준호나 박찬욱도 훌륭한 감독이지만, 그 정도로 잘난 감독은 사실 찾아보면 많아요. 그러마 나홍진처럼 순수하게 미친놈 감독은 좀 보기 드물어요. 그는 진정한 천재이지만 매우 악마적인 천재입니다. 내가 진정으로 우러러보는 악마 감독이기도 하죠
난 여전히 나홍진의 신작을 기다립니다. 그의 신작은 개봉 첫날 꼭 봐야해요
나홍진의ㅡ데뷰작 추격자, 두번째 작품 황해도 보세요. 나홍진이 로맨스영화라고 정의한 황해를 보시면 나홍진의 컬러를 조금은 이해하실겁니다
나중에 반응 갈리니까 의도한 것처럼 개소리 하는건데 무슨 ㅋㅋ
좀비씬은 빙의된 것을 표현하려고 배우가 움직임 연구까지 하고 촬영 오래한건데 찍어놓고 보니 좀비처럼 보였다고 ....하는 슬픈 사연이..
이거보다는 추격자를 보시지..ㅎ
