Haunters - Korean Movie

lim peh ka li kong

My movie grading:

5 4 star rating = Great show, sibeh nice, no horse run, sure must watch.
4 4 star rating = A good show worth paying to watch.
3 4 star rating = Watchable
2 4 star rating = Free ticket and have spare time then watch;
1 4 star rating = Don't waste your time;

Read from the papers that a Korean film "Haunters" is coming to town in June 2011.

Somehow, rather strange that lim peh is able to chance upon the DVD months before the show is actually going to be released here.

Haunters
The movie "Haunters aka Psychic aka Hunters" tells a story of 1 man, the villain (Kang Dong-Won), who is able to control the minds of others. He uses his power to get money from pawnshops and private loans companies.

During 1 of his actions, he meets the good guy (Go Soo) who is immune to his mind controlling supernatural power thus the 2 men clash and the story unfolds.

Haunters is a Sci-Fi thriller but it's not scary, not shockingly horror and not much blood shown (unlike the common Korean Thrillers).

lim peh sat through the movie (almost 2 hours) and enjoyed it very much except the last 10 minutes - an ending too absurd and affected my high view on it, but again this is a Sci-Fi so I guess it's really ok.

There are 2 scenes in the movie which I really get the "Wow" feelings.

Once when the 2 of them confronts each other in the Sub-way station and once when they face each other in a flat. Both situations involve many innocent bystanders and the tensions of the scenes are really superb.

I give "Haunters" (44 star rating) (A good show worth paying to watch).

近来发现自己越来越喜欢色彩缤纷。

是因为这世界太多黑白不分,所以选择悦目的五彩缤纷?

难道年纪越来越大,就越喜欢色彩?
 
还是令伯老来娇?

Then cha-bo-lang told me to read the Chinese characters instead.

Wah piangz!!! CHILD CARE not CHIL CAR!

“Source Code”

lim peh ka li kong

My movie grading:

5 4 star rating = Great show, sibeh nice, no horse run, sure must watch.
4 4 star rating = A good show worth paying to watch.
3 4 star rating = Watchable
2 4 star rating = Free ticket and have spare time then watch;
1 4 star rating = Don't waste your time;

Before watching the show, lim peh already knew that this is a Sci-fi thriller and I am one who like Sci-fi movies.

A brief storyline:
An army helicopter pilot wakes up in a train to find himself in another man's body with only 8 minutes to search for a bomb and the bomber who planted it. He has no memory with him and the waking up repeats itself over and over again until he finds the bomber...

Am not going to talk about the story as I do not wish to spoil your fun watching it.

The Director of this film is Duncan Zowie Jones, who is the son of the Rock star David Bowie and "Source Code" is his 2nd film. His first Movie is "Moon", a very good movie as well. (Definitely 1 of the top 10 Sci-fi movies in my list)


Ok, so much about the Director, back to "Source Code"

When I first realised the plot of the movie is going to be repeating itself after the bomb explodes, I was not very keen and felt that such a way of telling a story has been done in many other movies BUT this movie is different and every repetition of the actor going back to the 8 minutes search brings out a new and different result.

The main lead is not travelling back in time but something different. As the main lead keeps going back to the same scene in the train with only 8 minutes, the people he meets, the situation unfolds bits by bits and the audiences watching the show knew that the actor will die in the end.

Reaching the end, everything stops and the scene freezes with the actor holding the actress, showing affection to each other and the whole train of passengers smiling, laughing with the camera pulling out the freezes scene.... Happiness in eternity!

To me, if the movie were to end here, it will be a almost perfect one but the Director continue to roll the camera and the story continues for another 10 minutes, with a happy ending of course.

It's just like 金庸的神雕侠侣,杨过与小龙女的结局 --- 十六年后的重逢。不重逢,神雕侠侣可以算完美结束吗?当然可以,只是谁又会狠心不让他们重逢呢?

With "Source Code" additional happy ending, I minus 1 star from my liking of this movie.

I give "Source Code " (4 4 star rating) (A good show worth paying to watch).
