I tak to někdy končí v životě. Pro mě poutavý korejský krátký film, zahraný sympatickými herci. Takový konec jsem si sice nepředstavoval, ale je to tak. Kdo je více na vině, jeden nebo druhý? A nebo ten třetí? Každopádně si cením, že je naprosto uvěřitelný a celkově hodnotím nadprůměrně.

Tento kraťas dokazuje, že být "jiný" v této zemi stále není jednoduché, ač produkuje tolik BL seriálů a filmů. Nadprůměrný snímek, u kterého mi trošku vadilo to neustálé šero až tma, i když to bylo součástí filmu.

Láska, oddanost, žárlivost. Tento film volně navazuje na Ai No Kotodama, ale jen námětem, nejedná se o druhý díl. Dle mého názoru je ještě povedenější, než první. Kdo se může přepnout na japonský "styl", vyloupne se na něj dílko velmi roztomilé, podpořené nesmírně dobře (a japonsky strojeně) zahranou mírně potrhlou postavou Hiromufi-ho. Vlastně to, co některé jedince vytáčí do nepříčetnosti, zaslouží obdiv, jak to bylo nádherně a stylově natočeno. I druhá postava nebyla špatná (Tamura Shinji) a kouzelně to dokreslila "ušatá" Sawako. Hudba výborná, především ke konci. Krásný zážitek podpořily sk titulky od ZuzanQy.

Tak trošku "jiný" film oproti tunám ostatních. Lehký, jemný i dojemný, smutný ... Popisující lidské osudy, tíhu žití, touhu. Hudba příjemná, mnohdy dokonale ladící s filmovými obrazy, zpracování mě rovněž zaujalo, rovněž tak pohnutý příběh bratrance - postavu hrál Austin (Po Hung) Lin, který jako jeden ze dvou hlavních herců není v Podrobnostech uveden. Snímek, i když není zcela nový, stále může mnohé diváky oslovit.

Trošku mě vadilo, že to Thajci přepískli s tím, jak moc se ti dva zezačátku nenáviděli a neustále se mlátili. Láska a nenávist to sice mají k sobě blízko, ale ty bitky ... Ale jinak jeden z těch nejlepších kratších seriálů. Obě hlavní postavy naprosto dokonalé fyzickým vzhledem a ztvárnili své role moc dobře, i to, že věkově už ve skutečnosti měli oba dva pár let po vysoké škole. Vůbec Thajci s tím věkem dokáží hodně pracovat. Když June sděloval Petovi a Kaovi, že Sun, majitel kavárny, je už k nim postarší, tak ve skutečnosti Sun byl ze všech čtyř nejmladší (Sun = Pod a nejvíce jej znám jako Tonhon ze seriálu Tonhon Chonlatee). Další devizou miniseriálu bylo i to, že se už dál neštěpil na další zdržovačky. Výborné zpracování.

Very strange movie
Even now I can't recover from it ... the film raises so many questions and the viewer has many feelings and thinks about it ... The film is definitely not for everyone (many will definitely condemn it, on the contrary, I appreciate almost every film that touches of our otherness), but even though he is Asian, this time he is neither naive nor affected as an actor... STORY: in the first third of the plight of a boy who escaped from the dictatorial north and a girl originally from China, but of Korean origin, who are afraid return deportations, the second third completely different with no connection to the first - a young boy and a rich businessman and the third third - the fates of both boys intersect and ... ACTING PERFORMANCE: excellent, especially for all three male roles (I evaluate from an Asian point of view) SOUND: average , there is less musical component of undertones, apparently on purpose PROCESSING: refined, irritating, may even annoy many viewers (sometimes lengthy, out of focus, sometimes grainy, hand-held camera) OVERALL IMPRESSION: I am torn (disappointed by the end of the story, moved by the fate of the North Korean - after all, Jun could to defend at the end, but apparently he already gave up, I am surprised by the "beauty" of the rich businessman - in the love scene it is often hard to tell who is "young" and who is "old", he looks physically good), but overall a positive impression prevails, but at the same time and thoughts about the fate of thousands of such people in the south of the Korean peninsula.Was this review helpful to you?
Complex excellent film
I didn't read the reviews and played the movie and after a while I wanted to delete it because I thought it was like snot dragging crap. I haven't done it yet!!! A difficult film and not for everyone... to perceive, to watch, but once you get on the ropes, you already know for sure that this is a completely extraordinary film. I'm still thinking about it, and the more and with the distance (I saw it two days ago), the higher I want to give it, and I gradually realize how much the creators of this film actually conveyed through the slow shell of processing. Relatively boring, dragging plot, impersonal and cold relationships, recurring pacific monsoons... and a high rating from me and you can judge me all you want.Was this review helpful to you?
Repulsion and attraction
Repulsion and attraction ... that's how I would characterize this "long" short film. However, forcing favor in such a way was too much for me, and I did not celebrate the very end in my mind as much as the other viewers. But it was played very solidly, above all I appreciated the character of the teacher, who found herself in a rather unsolvable situation. The second cheeky character of the student was also portrayed very well, but I didn't trust the "minor" so much when in reality he was ten years older. An above-average film for its time.Was this review helpful to you?
WONDERFUL SERIES
This very special, visceral series, elaborated in detail, caught my attention right from the beginning. Processing one or two levels higher than other series from this area, especially the fights seemed more than precise, truly. Sky and Sun, two young men, so different in origin, in addition to the side couple Bank - Pitch and neither the two girls who did not act like bushes in the series - even though they actually played the poor girls (and with Toktaeng, almost no one would have guessed her real age , partly also at Pitch-e 😛, that's the "secret" of the Thais...). I evaluate comprehensively how the entire series affected me, I overlook the little things compared to the whole (the "bad" mobster, the final completely unnecessary separation of several years) which are unimportant, I don't need to prove my smallness by constant criticism. On the other hand, Sky, who is controversial as an actor for some viewers, also attracted me, in an original way, in a different way, with his strange facial expressions, the fact that he actually looks completely ordinary, I believed him. Absolutely great experience for me.Was this review helpful to you?

Málokdy se stane, že dvojka je stejně dobrá, jako jednička. Tady se to podařilo. A hlavně, že už tam ubylo těch drastických scén, i když se v časových vratkách připomínaly a i když je to erotický film, bylo mě vlastně hlavní postavy, která měla dvě jména, pořád líto ...

This film is banned in Vietnam
I didn't watch this strange film from a poor mining area the first time. I didn't have enough self-discipline and attention for a style that reminded me of Taiwanese director Ming-liang Tsai-e (whose films I've seen). And yet I won't immediately condemn the film in my review because of that, let others do that. It was only on the second viewing, when I got into the dream-hypnotic pace, that I began to perceive it more attentively, and it is necessary for this story told in this style to first "mature" in me and for the past to connect with the present and future. In addition to the director, I would also appreciate both actors in the lead roles from my point of view. This film is banned in VietnamWas this review helpful to you?
A film that has something in it...
A film that has something in it that I can't exactly define from my inner perspective, gentle, light and essentially simple, about the beauty of life and individual moments, fragments of life that are not always completely clear. I perceive it not as a short film, it is exactly on the border (40 min), but as a feature film, which was also awarded at the Seoul International PRIDE Film Festival in 2021. I also appreciate that the guys were chosen realistically, they are not handsome guys from a poster and I don't mind the slightly open ending at all, on the contrary, I like the film and its mood ...Was this review helpful to you?
