Expect and You Shall Receive
"Bluebeard" is a folktale about a rich noble who tests the obedience of his wife. When he sees her do something unfit of his commands, he kills her. The folklore follows his current wife, trying to avoid the faith of those that came before her. This movie is about a doctor, who mainly does colonoscopy. It is said early in the film that patients under anesthesia say the most random things due to being sedated, in one such case, an elderly patient went and said some gruesome things, leaving the doctor baffled and scared.
I had huge expectations and man did it deliver.
Jinwoong was able to deliver such a feeling of uneasiness and mania, making us believe all of the lies he made up in his head but also a sense of realness where not everything is made up. NoIl did kill and Seunghoon helped him, Miyeon did steal drugs, there was some truths but the lies and evidences were to strong for it to ride in his favour.
Kim DaeMyeung's character, Jung Seunghoon was a great counterpart/mirror to Seunggeun. The way Daemyeung was able to portray a sense of dread into Seunggeun and the audience with his calm ass voice and made you think that he was behind the killings when in fact, he never wanted to. He was only making sure that his father was not behind bars by continuously getting rid of the evidence his father left behind. The way that he wasn't fully innocent but only part guilty was shown once the audience was out of Seunggeun's perspective, but when we look through the eyes of Seunggeun, he seemed to be the person 100% at fault.
The music really made it for me. The way that they portrayed Seunggeun's uneasiness and made the audience jump was thanks to the incredible score. Although a bit slow at times, the pacing was definitely fit for the movie as a thriller. The way they wrote the story blended with the cinematography to deliver such jam-packed scenes was astonishing. But there were some shots that I felt to be pointless (those shots that make the camera swoosh from one end to the other behind a person's back when they're talking to someone).
And that plot twist.. MAN THAT PLOT TWIST. I really did not expect that, I also felt like I was his with two (or three technically) right after the other. Who knew that a mentally unstable person could still tell the truth despite their actions? Not when there's evidence that says otherwise.
Finally, *ahem* *ahem* UY *clap* *clap* PELEPENS *clap* PHILIPPINES... UYYYYYYY!
