Yesterday I went to watching Gangnam 1970 again. ^^

Every time I went to the theater, I thought maybe this is the last time I watch Kim Jong Dae on a big screen and felt sad. Yesterday was no exception.

I sobbed when Jong Dae cried. I cried again at the scene of Jong Dae in the tunnel. And I cried at the Jong Dae's last happy(?) night with his brother Yong Gi at the epilogue until the ending credit started to roll. It was somewhat embarrassing that I cried a lot in the theater, but I realized I was not alone and felt comfortable a little bit. ^^

Do you know that Jong Dae was born on the 11th March in 1945?

Wednesday is Kim Jong Dae's 70th birthday.

In celebration, a K-Minoz organized a special screening for Minoz in Gangnam CGV on that day, and you will know what Gangnam means to him if you watch the movie. I will join them, and probably that is the last chance for me to see him on a big screen. I'm already excited and happy to see him with my fellow Minoz but also sad to say goodbye to him. It will be hard for me to let him go. I just hope that I won't cry a lot that day.

I read the earlier posts by the senior members about what can be posted, no bashing and respect are the most important points.

I have one question, there have been some earlier concerns by some members that other non-LMH fans may use any critical or negative things we say here to use it again LMH on their blogs or forums. Should we let that censor or control what we say here? Or can we say what troubles us without worrying about outsiders? I don't mean bashing LMH but just letting some of our concerns be known about his successes or failures or mentioning blogs like DB or Koala.

Thanks.

Don't cry .You will see him the 5th time.
Try to watch him on the big screen if his movie is released in your area.
According to other fans that have seen GB,it is a unique experience.You may not like gangster genre movies but all agree that is a very interesting film with a completely different Minho that the one we used to see in his drama.
Even if you find the movie a little more violent for your taste at least you can experience a Minho in the giant screen with Dolby surround.

Another insightful (IMO) review of GBFrom RAPPLER.COM 
class="no-margin" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 4px; margin-left: 0px; font-family: 'Roboto Condensed', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.0625; color: rgb(51, 51, 50); margin-top: 0px !important; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"‘Gangnam Blues’ Review: Brothers at odds
Yoo Ha’s Gangnam Blues opens with two politicians aboard a helicopter, surveying acres of farmlands, empty lots and rolling hills. Far above everybody else, they make plans to develop the land for Seoul’s expansion, oblivious to all the lives to be displaced.
Jong-dae (Lee Min-ho) and Yong-gi (Kim Rae-won), orphans who adopted each other as brothers, are scavengers whose only aspiration is to have a decent place to live in. After being violently evicted from their pitiful shack, they are immediately recruited into a gang tasked to wreak havoc during a meeting that will keep the current leadership in his position.
After the rumble, the two are separated. Jong-dae is adopted by the gang boss, who has then retired from crime to become a humble laundryman. Jong-dae however is led to return to the gang, swindling farmers of their land to help his boss win the race to own Gangnam. Yong-gi ends up on the other side of the fence, rising from the ranks to become the trusted hatchet man of Jong-dae’s rival gang.
A period piece
Gangnam Blues’ echoes Martin Scorsese’s Gangs of New York (2002), in the way that it ironically portrays a place and everything that place stands for through its dark history. In the Scorsese film, New York is shown as various districts of immigrants who are lorded over by ruthless gangs who are in perpetual war with each other.
Yoo’s film takes a similar approach, showcasing the past of Gangnam, now a district of Seoul that is famed for its upscale homes and commercial spaces, as one that is built on a marriage of high-level corruption and violence. Gangnam Blues, set in the '70s, where South Korea, cautious and suspicious of the communist North, is in the process of expansion at whatever cost.[This is the first time I came across a GB review that makes a reference to the North.  Interesting.]  
Yoo painstakingly recreates the period, utilizing sights and sounds, including a lovely montage backgrounded by Freddie Aguilar’s "Anak," to evoke a not-so-distant past that has been made close to unrecognizable because of the quick pace of development. The setting has been stylized to become the appropriate backdrop to the tale of two brothers who are forced to be at odds with each other by both history and fate.
The film’s cynicism is unwavering. It never allows itself to get waylaid by unnecessary romance and instead peppers itself with details of the social rot that paved the way for progress. Its characters are all conflicted, torn between what remains of their humanity and the ill deeds that they have contracted themselves to commit.
Also an allegory
Lee, who gained popularity for playing a lovestruck student in Boys Over Flowers, inhabits the role of frequently brooding Jong-dae with surprising consistency. Although he appears to be a little bit too easy on the eyes to be believable as a hardened gangster, his unsuspecting appearance is in good contrast to Kim’s Yong-gi, who appears to be the more devious and calculating of the brothers. 
Gangnam Blues relies on Lee and Kim’s chemistry to work. The story of brothers of differing ideologies being pitted against each other against their will is the heart of the film, which does seem to reflect the tense situation between the two Koreas, masked within the conventions of a socially relevant genre flick.[Another interesting mention of NK.  And the analogy between the 2 brothers and the 2 Koreas makes me want to read up on the history of the conflict between the 2 Koreas.]
A vital scene in the film has the two brothers confront each other inside a movie theater, where a carefully picked sequence from war film featuring violent explosions is playing.
In a brilliant masterstroke, Yoo weaves together the tragic tale of Jong-dae and Yong-gi with the story of his country, while dissecting the moral ills that are part and parcel of both ambition and progress.
Localized
Gangnam Blues has been dubbed in Tagalog to cater to local viewers. It is inevitable that a lot has been lost in translation, especially since the film is culturally specific. Fortunately, the narrative still feels coherent and a lot of the mood, which seems to be more a product of the elegant visuals, has been more or less maintained.
Gangnam Blues is hefty entertainment, with its mix of stylized violence as only the genre will require and a little bit of relevance from both a political and social perspective. Its ending does reek with more than just a tinge of despair, with humanity losing out to unhindered desire for wealth and power. However, the road to such a dreary conclusion is rife with such vivid human drama that its downer of a conclusion is earned, if not totally required. – Rappler.com

I wonder why only DISPATCH was there to cover his departure.  Word is that this is supposedly a "secret" trip---he's doing a pictorial.  Not even the "usual suspects", our ever reliable K-Minoz fan-arazzi were there :-??
C-Minoz are calling him the "industrious bee" )

@azreen_76‌ I feel you, here in Indonesia, we are also anxiously waiting for the release date of GB, WAE???? What took it so long to come to my country. I was super excited to learn that GB will be shown in Indonesia, but deep down inside, I am also a bit skeptical. Indonesian Movie Censhorship often bans R rated movies (50shades of grey, is the latest example). Hope the Same thing will not happen to GB. Fingers crossed.
