vuthao Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Wow, I've finished reading Fingersmith summary in wikipedia and it's such a multi-layer criminal novel, adding to a leshbian love.If SHK is offered a role in this movie, no dout this will be her most challenging project ever, even villain would be a weak word :-wNot a secret, starring in a director Park's movie would be very competitive, let's time reveal what it needs to In the mean time, just moving around this thread, be cheered by cheer leaders and enjoy the MPL booking results ><p/s: actually the idea that SHK joins Park Chan Wook's movie can not get out of my head, isn't it her way to real International movie career (I'm thinking of Hollywood) ?

freshspring Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Thanks for all updates, especially ones from new members :xToday is Sep 2nd, Independence Day of Vietnam. all over the country are the flags, I would like to express my pride for my country :xIt's so meaning in order to be with family in this day ------------------ class="title_sec" style="line-height:34px;"[Herald Review] Taking heart amid heartbreak ‘My Brilliant Life’ deals with family, love and hope amid tragic circumstancesPublished : 2014-09-02 20:07 Updated : 2014-09-02 20:08“My Brilliant Life” walks an ironically palpitating line as suggested by the Korean title, which literally means “My Palpitating Life.” As the drama film centers on a 16-year-old boy named Ah-reum who has progeria ― a rare genetic disorder that causes premature aging in children ― viewers would expect an emotionally overwhelming and downright tragic plot, like those of other Korean films tackling terminal illness. As expected, the film does put tears in viewers’ eyes. But it does more than that. The film is serious enough to be realistic but light enough to be humorous, drawing a gentle smile out of the tragic situation, which proves that there is only a thin line between laughter and pain. Several factors contribute to this result, including the well-matched cast of heartthrob Kang Dong-won, A-list actress Song Hye-kyo and Jo Sung-mok, who had to undergo five hours of makeup application to become the prematurely aged Ah-reum. The artful and subtle direction of filmmaker E J-yong also adds to the film.A scene from “My Brilliant Life.” (CJ Entertainment)But most of all, the storyline ― faithfully adapted from Korean novelist Kim Ae-ran’s 2011 best-selling novel of the same name ― is an ode to life at its brightest, a celebration of love, hope and family, with good balances between humor and seriousness and between youth and adulthood. That said, the plot is quite simple. At age 16, Ah-reum’s body is already 80 years old, with age spots on his hands, deep wrinkles on his face and creepy skin textures. His parents, Dae-soo (Kang Dong-won) and Mi-ra (Song Hye-kyo), who had Ah-reum at the tender age of 17, work diligently each day to provide for their son. Amid Ah-reum’s grim condition, his family of three live a simple and happy life. The simple story is flavored with charming characters who transcend their ages. The precocious child Ah-reum is wise beyond his years ― writes and talks like an adult and understands the agony of his parents ― in contrast to his father Dae-soo, who has a childlike and naive character. Dae-soo takes multiple jobs ranging from restaurant server to construction worker to support his family, but he still gets extremely excited about K-pop girl groups and sees nothing weird about eating fried chicken in front of his sick child. The 33-year-old father Dae-soo may not be the most experienced father, yet his love for his son is genuine, and he communicates with Ah-reum like a friend throughout the film. When Dae-soo asks his son, “What do you want to be when you grow older?” Ah-reum says he wants to become a father. “Why me, out of all good things to be?” says Dae-soo. Ah-reum quietly replies, “So I can understand what it is like to be a father.” As both the father-son relationship and Ah-reum’s sickness deepen, the film gracefully draws casual humor out of the relationship between Ah-reum and Dae-soo, which elicit heartfelt tears. During an interview with The Korea Herald last week, actress Song commented that “the characters are bright and cheerful, quite the contrary to traditional films about illness. “The happier the family gets, the more the sadness escalates.” Some parts of this heartwarming family tale fall flat, though. The film runs for two hours, yet fails to to fully capture the details of the original story and unique style of Kim Ae-ran, once labeled by a literary critic as funny but warm, unpredictable yet friendly. The film’s loosely connected plot and story development is a bit disappointing, but the rosiest possible picture is painted out of a tragic yet special story about an old son and his young parents, as the director intended. The heartwarming film opens in theaters Wednesday.

ticktockjuly Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Just a day off the thread, there are so many things to say after reading your comments. @vuthao, for a director as Park Chan Wook, his movies always contain some shocking content or traits, he is quite a unique director. Therefore, "Lady" is no exception, for me lesbian factor is classified in this case. I never image Kyo is involved in this kind of movie (of course if our Kyo should have a chance to take part in his movie). something risky will probably have high chance of success.@Jolie, =)) Oh, our Kyo, that short...!! Do you think Kyo loves that style so much that she bought a series of shorts for future use?!@freshspring, from the vip after MPL VIP premiere, all I see from their face and gestures is content, emotional and happy. You could see this one quite moved (if Im not wrong, this is the actress portraying Hee Joo, Oh Soo's ex-girlfriend) We have one day to go, specifically, some more hours to go. So excited.... :-* :-* :-* 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest msbae77 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 @"Christin Leo Japar" wow, that's amazing! Is it going to be shown on the big screen in your country? If not, that's worth noting that the popularity of the movie has spread beyond South Korea for a writer in another country to notice and write an article about it. And I think Hye Kyo's popularity all over Asia plays a big part of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
