Trap by Seo In Guk (2023)

Worth Considering

I think it's very cool. There are layers, it's like being trapped inside your own head and beating yourself up... trying on different faces, different identities, different modes of artistic expression... but it's not a linear progression. Sometimes we beat ourselves up even while others congratulate us. But in the end, finding the confidence to embrace our self(s) lets us walk free, and continue on.

Perhaps I missed the mark, but that's how I felt about it. It's an incisive psychological exploration.

Anyway, I enjoyed it. It's not the type of artsy thing I would usually watch, but anyone who has struggled with self-doubt, self-hate, self-esteem understands the battle of trying to get outside that... I think they might relate? I'm not artist, but I can't imagine having to create and put a very personal side of me out for the whole world to judge.

How do I rate this? It feels unfair, because it seems to fall outside the normal boundaries. It's not super polished or anything, but I think achives what it wants to be.

Trap by Seo In Guk

It is short movie, I believe that you can find it on youtube but I can be wrong.
It is specific project, this movie has three (or more) parts - if I remember correctly mixed together. It is very artistic. Not the easiest to watch or maybe understand but acting was perfect.
Seo In Guk - amazing as always and he is even a director!!
So why only 6/10? Especially when it was good. Probably just fell into category I just rate this way (documentaries, special or reality shows) and to be honest it is something hard to rate, cause you can treat it as a short movie or teaser or more story to the future music releases, I do not know, you just need to check it out.
