Body: i saw real fiction by Kim-Ki Duk and i was not impressed compared to his other works;I guess its because the camerawork onthe movie seemed low budget;Anyway i just did not get the same feel for this movie compared to bad guy,samaritan girl(disturbingly great), the bow(visually great with minimal dialogand lots of symbolism), and 3-iron(quietly original and concientious trespasser that finds romance in a most unusual way)Just saw The Host this evening and i thought it was JUST decently ok.There was some funny parts on the movie that i did not expect;It is interesting though how the family of the girl that was taken by the monster pretty much bonds together to rescue the girl:The family bonds together even with the odds against them;Odds against the govt. that does not believe them or lies to them ,and people that decieve them for reward money;The bravest of the family is the father that would do the craziest, and sometimes the dumbest thing against all odds to rescue his daughter.It is also pretty ironic that the govt.could not kill the mutant monster or did not really try hard enough or was very disorganized in their effort to kill the mutant.I do not think that the orange gas killed the mutant,probably just sedated it or harmed it a bit;It is the familys(with an unexpected help from a vagrant) old fashioned techniques(gas,arrow and fire) that have killed the mutant monsterI saw parts of R-Point on tv ;I have to see it again completely to have a better perspective on the movieSympathy for Lady Vengeance is on my rental queue, i will let you know what i think after i have seen it ;Another Park-chan Wook film /short i have seen is "cut" from the three extremes.In the closing or conclusion part of the cut,was the piano woman her mistress or wife.Who was the woman calling to the director (at the end)wife or mistress? Was the woman calling to the director (at the end ) real or just the directors imagination?The last short film from the three extremes flick is "Box ".Whats your interpretation of "box"I will be on the lookout(keep looking) for A bittersweet life,BY luck i might find it showing on tv(ifc, sundance, etc.)Have you ever seen a movie called H (2002) directed by Jong-hyuk Lee? I am curious about this flick;Let me know your insight about this flick if you have seen it;THanks
