Great Movie, Better Ending

I've yet to see a South Korean movie I did not like.This movie might be a bit slow, or a bit sentimental for some people but if you like a balance of understatement and simplicity, mixed with great characters, you're going to love Righeous Ties.The ending, while not unique was not really predictable either. There are only so many ways you go go with an ending to a loyalty/brotherhood/ revenge movie. I guess it really boils down to how are the last 20 minutes of the movie played out.Wow, 10 lines of text. How frustrating. This is/was a minimalist movie and therein lies the beauty. Oh, not a lot of outdoor scenes but South Korea really looks to be a beautiful country. I give it a 7/10 but that only means that 9/10 and 10/10 are reserved for the best work of people like Bergman, Kubrick or Malick.

Competition for Tae Guk Gi

Excellent movie, loved every bit of it. Great fight scenes, love the usage of comic relief, and it still keeps it's seriousness. All around a superb movie that I can watch over and over and over. Some parts are a little confusing at times, however it picks back up and you get a good understanding of what's going on, it does have an interesting but sad ending, had a friend watch it with me and she spoke no Korean at all, and without subtitles she still understood it, though the DVD does have the option for English Subtitles. This movie is one of the better Korean films I've watched and that's saying a lot if you've seen Tae Guk Gi:Brotherhood of War. before.... Really glad my GF sent it back from Korea.
