I didn't exactly buy into the morality of it, but then there's nothing that could interest me less about a work of art than its supposed moral nature.<br /><br />It's still easily the least of the bunch for me, though.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05364322006357208797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2856547151523423474.post-69761598791513642102014-07-22T22:43:10.035-04:002014-07-22T22:43:10.035-04:00I think LADY VENGEANCE has a kind of shitty first ...I think LADY VENGEANCE has a kind of shitty first hour, but the last 40 minutes or so, the actual vengeance part, is probably my favorite chunk of the whole trilogy.<br /><br />I had no trouble at all going along with SNOWPIERCER.

Never saw Lady Vengeance, but parts one and two of this trilogy always stayed with me to some extent; Old Boy more. I'm not sure how much of a hurry I'm in to see either again though.<br /><br />As it happens, I watched Snowpiercer last night. It's very good - <i>if</i> you can go with it. I can understand why some might balk, but I really liked it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01583869987960904570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2856547151523423474.post-5326541972565988332014-07-21T16:10:50.485-04:002014-07-21T16:10:50.485-04:00Stoker I was neither for nor against, really, but ...Stoker I was neither for nor against, really, but this movie and Old Boy (original) both really impressed me the couple of times I saw them, the latter especially. Lady Vengeance was strong, too, though I had more problems with it than with the others. Still, the sheer, enveloping artistry and aesthetic appeal of Chan-Wook's movies movies is usually strong enough to keep my attention even if the action falters.<br /><br />I have not seen Snowpiercer, on the other hand, but have heard very mixed things about it. Memories of Murder didn't do a whole lot for me, and The Host struck me as something pretty nigh indistinguishable from a pile of crap, so I think I can probably hold out a while longer before judging it for myself.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05364322006357208797noreply@blogger.com
