Escape (2024)

The Bastard that I loved

The Bastard that I loved, u otras cosas que no me esperaba para nada. O sea , está subtrama gay no me la esperaba para nada y encima con Song Kang y Kyo Hwan, necesito saber más.

La película es bastante meh y hay muchas cosas en el guión que no tienen sentido. ¿Cómo es que pisas una mina y no te mueres ? Aparte de la infinidad de veces que puede matarlo y no lo hace . No tiene sentido alguno. Aparte esa frontera que no está para nada protegida, ya te digo yo que en la realidad no pasa eso ni de coña. Y como entran los soldados surcoreanos a recoger al desertor como pedro por su casa y encima arguyendo derecho internacional como si a Norcorea le importase.

Me fastidia porque tiene un pedazo de elenco de actores como Lee Je Hoo, Kyo Hwan , Esom , Hyun Woo entre otros y siento que la historia flaquea mucho. Y eso que no he comparado con un Kdrama que explotó y supo sacar juego a toda la temática, D.P.

Mira que no me gusta encasillar a los actores prefiero que me sorprendan y verles actuar en distintos roles para ver si de verdad saben actuar, pero no te lo voy a negar a veces una chica necesito ver a Lee Je Hoo pegar tortas a diestro y siniestro para sentir que el mundo está bien.

that sub plot is most definitely gay

I know that there is a lot of controversy when it comes to North Korean stories being told by South Koreans, but as someone who isn't Korean at all I can't comment on it. With every twist and turn I was able to stay surprised (as long as I was able to hold up my suspension of belief). Like any movie that involves guns there are scenes where people don't shoot when they could've brought someone down, but once you get to the end you sort of understand why. I didn't look at the casting beyond the two leads so I was very surprised with how many well know actors there were. With such a great cast of course the acting was good and I have no complaints. I really enjoyed the soundtrack especially the inclusion of zionT's song. I had not heard it before watching but it was a very impactful addition. I can see myself watching this again once it goes to streaming, but I highly recommend seeing it in theaters if you have the chance. I would recommend seeing this.

When it comes to the *potentially* queer subplot, I don't care what the director says. "The Bastard I Loved" says it all. My thoughts were summed up really well by an article on the IndieWire by David Opie and I recommend giving that a read if you are interested.
