'Go-Go70': Cha Steals the Limelight

080925p10gogouv1.jpg

By Kwaak Jeyup

Korea Times Intern

Inspired by a true story, ``Go-Go70'' relies on an embellished narrative and brushes past its characters; perhaps a little too much. The actors are left on their own to develop their otherwise spotty personalities, as if the director sowed them like seeds to see who would grow the tallest. The result is mixed at best, but an unexpected gem is found in Cha Seung-woo.

Cha, a rocker, guitarist and first-time actor, shines in virtually every scene, even in split-second shots. While the camera follows experienced actors Cho Seung-woo and Shin Mina much more, they fail to give their roles any substantial character. Their awkward discomfort is in stark contrast to Cha's effortless brilliance.

``Go-Go70'' is a film that traces the band The Devils' rise to stardom in the `70s, playing soul music. Go-go refers to a style of dance that became a kind of zeitgeist for Korean youth's thirst for freedom against an era of government-imposed curfews and regulations against long hair on men and miniskirts. The group, along with dancer Mimi (played by Shin), becomes the top act in Seoul by hosting all-night go-go parties ― eschewing the curfew ― until they are banned by the President Park Chung-hee administration and arrested for promoting indecency.

At the post-preview press conference Friday, the film's director Choi Ho dubbed Cha as ``a beast from the Hongdae (indie scene) that roamed around the set …who could never repeat his scenes the same way.'' In fact, Cha admitted to have played himself for the role as Man-su the guitarist ― even in terms of parlance. However, that fails to explain how comfortable he looks in his `70s costume and hair, how genuine his annoyance seems when Cho's character, Sang-gyu, throws another of his bandleader tantrums or how his face moves with subtlety as they reconcile. In other words, he makes every scene memorable, and never taking himself too seriously allows his natural charisma to shine.

Cho, an actor with no less magnetism and armed with a solid filmography including 2005's ``Marathon,'' strangely botches most of his scenes. Looking consistently labored and forced, Cho's Sang-gyu is overwhelmingly brooding but tries too hard to be dreamy at the same time. The result is an icy, sculpted exterior incessantly modified to achieve perfection but never with a clear idea of what that may be. Even his usually solid singing falters at certain points. As he described himself in the press conference, his acting is ``filled with mannerisms.''

The director's claims of considering the whole band and dancers as a collective protagonist may have convinced toward the beginning of the film, but he ends up circling overly around Sang-gyu without ever developing his character. As shown in the freewheeling recording studio scene, simply ``having fun'' can be memorable. It refreshes the audience, feeling as if they have been invited to a private jam session. In fact, this is one of the few scenes where Cho looks comfortable. But by choosing to concentrate on the bandleader, the film is distracted from its central message of having fun.

Among other characters, Shin somehow combines her role's tame, soft-spoken charm with explosive dance moves. Lee Seong-min's influential pop music columnist is brilliant as a supporting cast member, as he also does not take himself seriously and adapts well to every scene.

In theaters Oct. 2. 118 minutes. 15 and over. Distributed by Showbox/Mediaplex.

About filming location.

‘고고70’- 광주시 남한산성

남한산성은 수도권 근교 가을 나들이 장소로 첫손에 꼽히는 곳. 취향이나 산행 난이도에 따라 5개 코스 중 하나를 선택할 수 있는 데다 주변에 먹을거리도 풍성해 가족들과 함께 가볍게 다녀오기에 알맞다. 남한산성은 단풍 명소로도 알려졌는데, 산책 코스를 따라 늘어선 단풍나무들이 이달 말쯤 붉게 물들기 시작한다. 일찌감치 행락지로 개발돼 1970∼80년대를 다룬 영화에 자주 등장한다. 조승우, 신민아 주연의 영화 ‘고고70’도 남한산성에서 촬영됐다. 가는 길=양재대로를 따라 세곡동에서 복정사거리를 지나 약진로, 남문을 지나면 산성 로터리가 나온다.

Press Conference 19 Sep 2008 (strange why they all looks so glum ? and Cho Seung Woo in different outfits)

Yes, why do they their spirits look deflated? And I wonder why Cho Seung Woo changed out of his suit? Were they not proud of the movie. I'm just happy that MinAh was allowed to sing. I'm just hoping that MinAh was not intimidated by Cho Seung Woo. I cannot wait to watch this movie on dvd. Thanks huangsy for keeping us updated.

I like the movie concept and story and plot. But I wonder why the response is not good enough. Well, I guess it's also a matter of timing.

Cha Seungwoo is the lead vocal for The Moonshiners (a rockabilly band). He's been in the indie scene for a while. I think before he was with No Brain.

If anyone's interested, here's a clip of a performance:

he rocks.
