How did Koreans get so good at making movies?
>>219795778You mean that one time?
They don't have a bunch of jewish faggots infecting woke into everything.
>>219795778Highly competent and studious people.
western influence, like Hong Kong
there is literally not one good Korean movie
>>219796459train to busan was really good and it's more recent
>>219796505But enough about the honorable Chinese.
>>219796553Chinese only make historical epics about their glorious country that are not marketable anywhere except China.
>>219796528Didn't one win best picture at the academy awards a few years back? Something that literally no foreign film ever did before?
>>219796583God bless them!
>>219796602>won an Oscarwhoopdie fucking doolike that means anything
>>219796628Nothing means anything. That includes your god, and whatever else you might wrongly believe in.
Lee Chang Dong is one of the great living filmmakers. Park Chan Wook has his moments. Hong Sang Soo is a low-key talent. Bong Joon Ho is an overrated hack.
>>219795778Oldboy has a great first half, but a powerful amnesiac effect comes over me when it clicks over to the forgettable second half.Anyone else experience this?
>>219797947spends way too much time in the flashback at the school
>>219796546you guys keep hyping up Tain to Busan so I watched it thinking it would be good, but it wasn'tit was Korean good maybe, it wasn't going good
>>219798043*good good
>>219796733Dong has not made a good movie in 16 years. Wook is also now terrible and insufferable. Ho appeals the most to westerners which is why he's the most recognized.
>>219796459>>219796546i hate zoomers so fucking much
>>219798043>>219798069I don't even know what "good good" means. Mandalorian and Grogu is an American film, and it doesn't even approach "good good" (whatever that means). Trains to Busan is a GOOD movie.
>>219798282>has to compare his masterpiece to assembly line Disney shitsays it all
>>219798319No one called it a masterpiece. It's slop that's better than American slop. Full stop.
>>219796528
>>219795778They're not. Fuck off chaebol bots
wtf
Why would you watch Korean movies when Japanese movies exist?
>>219799272Nobody cares about samurai costume slop, grow up.
>>219799272Because Japanese movies fell off a cliff. They were great in the days of Ozu and Kurosawa, but the film industry there has languished with nothing but the worst slop that you can imagine. The Koreans have completely taken over in terms of film skill. There's still some good stuff here and there, but people there work like Takashi Miike and churn out slop yearly instead of honing their craft and taking their time
>>219796733>be gook director that baguette hipsters love to suck off>named Le Chang DongCeramics
Im Kwon-taek solved Korean cinema, Bong Joon Ho is a hack.
>>219799376Japanese movies were great up until the late 70s/early 80s. There was some decent stuff in the 90s too, but everything beyond that has been kind of shit.
>>219795778No jews
>>219796733Kim-Ki Duk was the master of them all
>>219795778>>219796483sigh. anon, making movies about" fathers having sex with their daughters, and its okay because - its just is, okay" is jewish. south korea is literally run by a cult.
>>219795778for me?its...memories of murder 2003a bittersweet lifethe man from nowhere
>>219796459>>219796546>>219798043Memories of murderOld boyThe handmaidenMotherThe wailingSympathy for mr vengeanceParasiteThere are quite a lot more but I cant remember their names.South korea has some real kino
>>219802461>>219803330Always with the thrillers and violenceslop, watch a melodrama for once in your miserable lives.
>>219803431>melodramaI am not gay you fucking faggot.If a movie has "romance" as a sub genre I dont watch it.
>>219795778The Kino That /tv/ Missed
>>219798030Movie would be about 20x better if Desu-kun interrupted his flashback by jumping him in the elevator and beating the shit out of him
They aren't. Korean cinema(and now television) is basically Hollywood 2. It's all edgy fedora dog shit. It gives plebs the ability to say they've seen foreign media and allows them to keep the same type of enjoyment they get from Hollywood blockbusters.
>>219804638Korean cinema is far more than the handful of violent thrillers you've heard of.
>>219799945Is this the joy luck club?
>>219804863No
>>219795778Oldboy is an adaptation of a manga.Koreas film renaissance which happened in the late 90s lasted til the end of the 2000's.It consisted mostly of gritty crime dramas heavily influenced by american cinema of the 70s, 80s and 90.Once they finished copying all those movies, they completely ran out of ideas and out of steam.Their film industry is pretty rubbish these days, and their TV is as bad as modern anime.>>219803330>Sympathy for mr vengeanceAtrocious movie.Oldboy is ok but Lady Vengeance is the best of the trilogy hands down.>>219797947Yep. That's typical of anime/manga. High concept premises that fall off a cliff due to poor writing.
>>219805449>Oldboy is an adaptation of a manga.I didn't even know.desu I was just listing the ones I remembered.MoM is one of my fav movies, top 5 but the rest are just movies I remembered that were korean.A few years ago I went on a korean movie mission. Asked here for all the good korean movies too and found loads and lots were really good.i would have only watched them after seeing trailers and reading synopsis to see if the movies were types I would watch so there is probably a lot that are great that I would not watch.Like here>>219803504Generally I only remember movies I found great.I watched both mr and lady vengeance but cant remember either.I watched the witch movies, pt1 and 2, cant remember them other that I did watch them.Handmaiden is great, though its got lots of lesbo shit in it so if you are not a coomer it might not be good.Still its subversive as it looks like a period drama but is actually a caper movie.
>>219803431its not slop you fucking faggotsure ill check this out thoughever
I enjoy Suck My Dong actionslop. All of, every Outlaws/Roundup movie, Unstoppable, The Cop Gangster Devil, not the eternals though that shit sucked. Sue me.
Koreans were interesting 20 years ago. They are gayer than Americans today.
TV too
>>219799376There isn't a single korean director on the level of Kitano
>>219795778Oldboy is a stupid fucking movie lol. But I like the director's other movies.
>>219807606Kitano is wildly inconsistent.He was good in the 1990s, and mainly because joe hisaishi was propping him up.
>>219795778slurping ameripig cum until they have no culture of their own left
