Yongseoneun eupda (2010)
quite interesting, very persuasive acting, unpredictable but incompatible...
what I mean by incompatible:
why would brothers dedicate all their life, knowledge and creativity to direct the most horrible vengeance to a person, who has not raped their sister, who has not caused her suicide, who only brought a shame to the victim's family by giving the inconclusive evidence about the rape charges, which made possible to release the accused rich teenagers.
maybe it is a bigger deal to cope with a shame than with death in Korean culture, which is quite understandable, but I doubt that it is the case here.
3 main parties that deserved vengeance: youngsters - whose rape resulted in suicide. next come their wealthy parents, who bribed the autopsy specialist/doctor in exchange of his dying daughter's complex treatment abroad. and finally the dad (autopsy specialist) who took the bribe and did not report full results to the court....
my question is, why the vengeance was not directed to those youngsters as severely as it was towards the autopsy specialist? also, why the people involved in bribe and parents did get away....?
It seems that it was more conveniently fitting the script for the director to make the vengeance more dramatic and shocking.
I think the autopsy specialist should have been made somehow involved either in rape or suicide in order to justify such a violent vengeance towards him who only brought a shame to the family afterwards by stating that it did not seem as rape; she might have had sex with several people willingly due to no damage signs on her sexual organs.
but most importantly, they made a tool out of an innocent child just to make her dad, autopsy specialist, to suffer, to understand the pain... incompatible
Coherence (2013)
questions
interesting and entertaining for me. have to admit that did not understand certain things, however, I had no desire to watch it again to find the answers.
please see the movie first, as I doubt that comments would make sense....
1. I think there was no enough motivation to resort to violence.
2. also, if the characters found out that interfering with another reality would destabilise the balance why would they carry on interfering, why they think that it would solve the problem, besides there is no real problem or threat, everything is based on theoretical propositions. In other words, I did not see enough evidence or necessity (even in their proposed theories) for them to think about threat or violence.
In the end one of the characters tries to knock/pass out herself from another reality, which was at the initial phase, so I thought she wanted to guide others not to interfere or give some clues but later she resorts to even more violence, which does not make sense to me, as they did not have any realistic theory, which would imply that somehow the other selves from another realities would cause trouble. anyway how hurting/harming themselves would solve the "problem", not demonstrated.
3. probably most of us would freak out in these kind of conditions but at least one of them should have been interested just to make a contact with him/herself - non of them was holding a gun or knife and non of them seemed a violent person, normal intelligent people, who I am sure would have acted differently in reality as there was no immediate or visible threat to their lives.
4. maybe there were all hallucinated by that drug, also I am sure there are more clues in the film than I noticed, especially about that drug near the end but as mentioned earlier could not watch second time. furthermore, there was a strange call right at the end, which suggests that it was not a hallucination.
it is good that the story is open to interpretations but for me the actions pursued by the characters require more motivation and reasoning than shown in the movie....
