can someone explain to me why i was supposed to like it?

not sure i was sold on the plotline at any point. stylistically it was neat, but can't find anything but indifference at best.

it's fucking amazing wtf. that moment when he opens up the book at the end and the pages start to turn and the "twist" starts to seep in is incredible. it's stylish and it's creative. the question is how can you watch it and have to ask what there is to like about it? :O

it didn't feel like a twist at all really

i didn't get the "oh my god" feeling i got when watching memento for example. instead, as the majority of the movie felt disconnected and meandering, i arrived to the "twist" and felt more of a "oh... i guess that's what i've been watching this whole time."

I was pretty unimpressed after all the hype myself. I still stand by Our Town/Ori Dongnae as my favorite Korean movie.

I'm not sure I remember much of the plot, since I did watch this like 3-4 years ago....

But, even though I was disappointed by the film for the same reasons, I still ended up liking it. O_O I found the aesthetic charming.

To me it wasn't really a twist at all, I pretty much expected it to be that. Just based on how awkward the characters' interaction and shit was before, it was totally obvious something was up.

I've watched most of the recommended korean/jap films and Most of them suck tbh. The only one I liked was Ip Man.

I loved it the first time I saw it, but I've lost interest when I've tried watching it again.

But the octopus scene is fucking own. Also the music is awesome.

Mainly that fight scene, the octopus scene, the music and the fact that you can hear someone playing BW at one point.

Ip Man was awesome and I also recommend the good, the bad and the weird.

it's definitely not for everyone. I absolutely loved it but I am surprised by how many people like it just because it isn't your standard popular film. I guess it's the whole foreignness to it.

I liked it, did feel that it went a bit overboard at the end, but was pretty neat the whole way through.

IMO Sympathy for Lady Vengeance is much better,

Memento? The only redeeming part of that movie was that it was done backwards. If you played it in a chronologically normal order it's fucking average.

I hate it when people say this. Why would you watch it "normal" ever? The backwards element is such an intrinsic part of the movie that I don't know why people try to judge the movie without it. It's like saying that Tarantino films are average without the dialogue.
