인연 [in-yun], it means "providence" or "fate". It's an 인연, if two strangers even walk by each other in the street and their clothes accidentally brush. Because it means there must have been something between them, in their past lives. If two people get married, they say it's because there have been 8000 layers of 인연. Over 8000 lifetimes.

Ballerina: A Cinematic Recital of Revenge

Ballerina, an action-packed film, takes a unique approach to the revenge genre by incorporating ballet elements into its narrative. The story kicks off with Okju, who appears to be on leave from a high-end security firm, thwarting a robbery with canned vegetables. However, her life takes a dark turn when her friend Min-hee, known as "Ballerina," commits suicide and leaves a note asking for vengeance. Director Lee Chung-hyun, known for his previous work on The Call, creates Ballerina, a cinematic masterpiece (at least to me) that serves as the platform for a revenge story. Determined to convey a sense of recital or performance art, Lee successfully emphasized factors such as cinematography, production design, and music, to the point where the title tracks directed by GRAY were titled after ballet terms such as "Adagio" or "Coda" aligning with the film's theme. A standout feature is the virtual spaces designed for the main characters—Okju, Min-hee, and Choi (the antagonist). The art director Kim Min-hye utilized symbolic elements to convey emotions, such as warmth in Okju's lonely house, fragility in Min hee's space decorated with a fish tank, and humility in Choi's house adorned with antique pieces and artworks. Ballerina addresses dark themes of assault, grooming, and human trafficking, highlighting a woman's fight for justice. The film relies on striking visuals and cinematography, using fluorescent lights and vibrant colors in flashback scenes to contrast the harshness of the overall story. Okju's character development and strength lead to a satisfying ending, with the villain meeting a painful demise at her hands.

I hate people who ask if you're okay when they clearly know that you're not

If you don't know what to say, you might as well say nothing

Past Lives (2023) - Celine Song

Past Lives is a 2023 Korean movie written and directed by Celine Song. A movie that reaches for all the subtle and inexpressible feelings in a modern relationship, in the intertwined lives of Hae Sung, Nora and Arthur.

The idea of cycle is what I can connect in the movie most. Its the repetition, every 12 years, Hae Sung and Nora meet, linger and break. I have felt this with my life, there is some magic to “12 years”, same people and same things and same places comes back to me every 12 years - Its strange if you are in it!

The movie travels in to metaphysics with “In-Yan” and 8000 layers of attachment from past lives. Nora suggests some intriguing past-life possibilities that they might be say, “birds sitting on the same branch on a particular morning”, “a married couple constantly fighting” etc.. This really elevates the movie and the audience out of mundane.

The subtle and stirring musical bits placed all over the movie is pretty warm. One of the striking staging is of the scene, where childhood Sung and childhod Nora, say good bye to each other and takes different paths. Nora takes a steep slope, depicting her hunger to achieve in literature, while Sung takes a pretty flat path and he remains flat throughout the rest of his life.

There is a common belief that 21st century world is flat and world is just a huge cosmopolitan city. These are the movies which reminds us that it is not. Nora says to Arthur that she feels “more Korean than Korean” when she is with Sung.

Arthur is also trying to learn Korean. Then comes the greatest despair scene of the movie, and Arthur goes,

“You dream in a language which I can’t understand.. Its like there is this whole place inside of you, where I can’t go..”

How many times in our lives we have felt that despair, even with our dearest ones? that there are depths and dreams in the other person which cannot be scooped ever? This movie takes a scoop of that and gives it for a taste.

Arthur was my favorite, the way he subtly expressed his helplessness, the way he asks the genuine questions about fate and chance. At a point, towards the end of movie, he kind of switches to a third person perspective of the situation and he feels happy for being a part of the love story - “I never imagined that I will be part of something like this in my life” .. of course we can interpret this dialogue in both ways.

The final shot of the movie, where Sung leaves in a car to airport, he goes out of the frame and we see rapidly receding background, we feel the time passing moment by moment with all its complications in space. The time, the cycles of time, the time on which our lives are staged!

This movie will linger with me for a while…

Thanks to my friend Surendhar for recommending this movie!

Forgotten (2017) - Movie Review

If there's one movie I have watched multiple times, it's forgotten (2017), a korean psychological thriller, directed by Jang Hang-jun. Although the story is intricate, the storytelling keeps it clear and easy to follow. It's layered, but the movie explains everything well as it unfolds. There are no boring parts; each scene keeps you engaged.

The Story: Synopsis | Overview 

The movie starts with Jin Seok waking up from a bad dream in the car with his family. They're moving to a new house, and when they arrive, Jin Seok experiences a sense of déjà vu, as though he's seen it before. At dinner, Jin Seok's dad warns him and his brother Yoo Seok not to go into a certain room which belonged to a previous owner. Jin Seok hears strange noises and investigates, despite his father's warnings, but Yoo Seok intervenes and they go outside. Yoo Seok is kidnapped that night and remains missing for 19 days. When he returns, he is unable to remember anything. Jin Seok becomes suspicious and secretly follows his brother, discovering something shocking.

Personal Thoughts and Ideas:

The main actors' performances kept the mystery alive throughout the story. I couldn't tell who was more delirious. Halfway through, I was trying to figure out what Yoo Seok experienced during his 19-day disappearance. But upon encountering a plot twist (which I won't go into details so to avoid spoiling the story), I wondered the reason behind Jin Seok's trauma. The movie portrays the psychological aspect of the genre really well, unlike many other movies.

The two main characters have different personalities; Jin Seok is quiet and timid while Yoo Seok is strong and intimidating. The connection between them depicted in different timeline of the movie, feels like watching them in parallel universes.

My favorite aspect of the film is its cinematography, which helps to solidify the story. Warm tones such as yellows, greens, and maroons are used consistently throughout the film, helping to maintain the timeline of the scenes. The exception is the scene after the tragic ending, which is depicted in bright colors, giving the impression that the viewers are witnessing an unrealistic ending or a delusion. It's similar to what-if scenarios, like "What if all of those tragic events hadn't happened?" that leave viewers feeling overwhelmed.

왕의 남자

Becoming a blind man, I’ve never thought that I will ever walk again in this rope. However, this time is different. Honestly, I am a blind maestro. Listen to my tale. After I observed my first show. I am perplexed with everything. The Highness walks proudly in the stage, simultaneously criticising with a friend. I am unable to discern others. When I went to Seoul, everything was sparkling.. Money has put me into trouble. 

Then I visited the King’s palace. Because I am blind, I can’t see anything. I couldn’t see how cruel stealing is, steal the heart. That’s it, I couldn’t see anything right now beside the abyss. How noble! I wished I was blind from the very beginning. How foolish! How awesome it is to be blind! Of course! I like, really like it. Oh my.. there you are.. the fool, the reckless and the haughty! The foolish blind man who doesn’t know where he stands! Hurry! get down! Hey you the most untamed tongue! I am the King of this palace, Wretch! Right, I have always love to encounter my King. And now I have seen the Almighty King. What? Who do you want to meet? You’ve been bewildered by the powerful and the inferior. Which means you have turned the world upside down. If you are reborn, who do you want to be? A nobleman? No… Nope.. A King? Nah, it’s not a pleasurable life. I’d love to be the jester again. How foolish! Why would you like to get another trouble? So, how about you, what will be your reborn dream? Nothing else.. but a joker! All the world’s a stage. Just like the King is showing off and go out with the style! Together, we should celebrate the blessed earth with adventurous ahead. - The King and the Clown
