A Ligação (2020)

O que você faria se pudesse voltar no tempo?

Esse filme é muito bom, gostei bastante! Os filmes de suspense e sobre crimes são os meus preferidos, mas ainda é raro encontra um filme coreano desse gênero, e ainda mais um que seja bom.
A premissa do filme é muito boa, por se passar ao mesmo tempo no passado e no presente, que estão sempre interligados (o que é modificado no passado determina o presente). E o elenco é muito bom, as atuações são muito convincentes, especialmente a da Jeon Jong Seo. Também gostei de ver a Park Shin Hye saindo da zona de conforto, de longe esse é o papel que ela interpretou que eu mais gostei.
Esse é aquele tipo de filme que te prende desde o início, você começa a assistir e não quer mais parar, ainda mais por que você fica curioso pra saber o que aconteceu com a So Yeon e com a Young Sook, que são duas mulheres solitárias e que parecem ter traumas, principalmente por a gente desde o início já imaginar que a Young Sook morreu de forma trágica, e que a morte dela está se aproximando.
A atmosfera o tempo todo é de apreensão e angústia, o suspense em parte é psicológico, você fica ansioso e ao mesmo tempo com receio do que vai acontecer.
Também ocorrem muitas reviravoltas ao longo do filme, algumas já esperadas mas a maioria nem passam pela nossa cabeça.
Sobre o enredo em si eu achei interessante ver a origem de uma serial killer, que é um assunto que eu me interesso muito.
Apesar de o filme ser muito bom eu não dei nota 10, exclusivamente pelo final, que foi mal feito, é confuso e não levou em consideração a linha temporal apresentada. Não fez o menor sentido a mãe da So Yeon aparecer no final se ela tinha morrido, e muito menos a Young Sook ter ressuscitado. Essa ideia do falso final feliz pra nos últimos segundos ter um plot twist não colou.
Enfim, eu super recomendo este filme, tenho certeza que você vai gostar!

Bom suspense mas não tão bom na construção passado e presente

O enredo não é original e a maneira como eles demonstram a mudança são terríveis. As memórias deveriam acontecer, quando ocorreu mudança na linha do tempo.
É semelhante ao drama Signal e ao filme Frequency (2000) ou Alta Frequência.
Não faz sentido. As cicatrizes vieram, mas as memórias não ?!
Para Thriller de gênero está ok, mas para Passado e Presente, não achei coerente.
Essa é a minha maior reclamação, acontece na mesma linha do tempo, e quando essa é alterada, quando muda o passado as memórias também deveriam, como aconteceu com as cicatrizes. Não era preciso ver o pai para saber que ele estava vivo, por exemplo.
As atuações são boas, principalmente da Jeon Jong Seo, que convence bem. Park Shin Hye faz o básico de sempre e
Lee El foi uma pena não ter mais espaço.

Mais um filme do meu surto!

E vamos de sinopse pra você entender!

SPOILERS ALERT!

Então, a Park Shin Hye interpreta a protagonista. Uma jovem que perdeu o pai quando criança e agora está próxima de perder a mãe pro câncer. Seu pai morreu devido à um acidente que acabou incendiando a casa deles, e a protagonista culpa a mãe, pois em suas memórias, ela teria esquecido uma panela no fogo, causando o incêndio. Tal memória, fez com que o relacionamento entre as duas se deteriorasse, e agora, perto de perder sua mãe, ela ainda não a perdoou pela morte do pai.

Com tudo isso acontecendo, Seo‑yeon decide passar um tempo no interior, na casa onde uma vez morou. Assim que chega no casarão, em meio aos móveis empoeirados, ela escuta um telefone antigo tocar. Ao atender, uma mulher pede por socorro e diz que mora exatamente no mesmo endereço do casarão em que Seo‑yeon está agora. Intrigada, ela pesquisa a fundo e descobre que quebrou as barreiras do tempo e espaço e está conversando com uma pessoa que está vivendo à alguns anos atrás.

Só o que ela não sabia, era que essa "nova amiga", à quem ela ajudou na inocência, era uma MALUCA DESCABELADA, ASSASSINA, PSICOPATA E POSSUÍDA que vai acabar matando todo mundo e se safando.

O filme é incrível, e o enredo é muito criativo. A atuação foi muito boa e realmente senti medo e agonia dessa doida ai. O mais interessante foi o final, que deixaram em aberto. Um final feliz ou triste? Ninguém nunca saberá ao certo... super recomendo!

Um filme no mínimo interessante

- Problemas psicológicos não são curados com falsas crenças e exorcismo.
- Precisamos amar e cuidar enquanto ainda temos tempo.
- Não se pode mudar o passado ou mudar a mente das pessoas, só podemos mudar a forma que lidamos com o mundo.
- Não culpe o outro, faça diferente
- Não somos Deus, não podemos julgar quem merece morrer, quem é melhor que quem, não conhecemos o íntimo do outro.
- Nunca confie totalmente em alguém.

Os autores são muito bons, assim como os efeitos especiais (exceto o sangue que parecia falso), mas no geral a direção do filme fez bem, os cenários foram bem pensados, uma história cheia de reviravoltas, nenhuma ponta ficou solta e durante todo o filme ficamos ansiosos, tentando resolver a situação, o começo nos deixa confusos, na metade achamos que entendemos tudo, mas no final, é como se estivéssemos no começo 하하하

Bom,mas um pouco confuso

Eu gosto bastante do começo,acho que faz você ficar bem curioso com como a história vai andar,porém à partir do primeiro plot a história começa a se perder.

Para um trilher foi ok,mas acho que o passado e presente da história ,em um certo ponto ficam muito confusos.Ambas as personagens são claramente um pouco egoístas kkk E acho q a roteirista quis colocar muitas reviravoltas no filme.
Sobre as atuações,acho que todos estavam muito bem,tirando a Park Shin hye,a quem tenho a impressão de sempre estar fazendo o mesmo papel(ainda acho q ela combina mais com esse gênero,do que com românce).
O final foi o que mais me decepcionou,pra mim podia ter acabado com ela e a mãe indo embora normalmente,acho que todos já iriam gostar desse plot final,ou seja, achei desnecessário a "vilã" continuar viva.
Mas ainda acho que valeu a pena o tempo gasto assistindo,foi uma boa história,só acho que não tão bem aproveitada!

I'm not going to analyze the story deeply nor will I give any spoilers so maybe if you're just trying to figure out whether to watch it or not, hope this helps.
I don't think the actual concept of the story is anything original but I'm really suprised at how unpredictable they were able to make it. The time flew by and I didn't feel that there were any dull moments in the plot. Very well written overall.
Acting was great and the cinematography was amazing. I've watched some works with Park Shin Hye and I really liked Jeon Jong Seo in Burning, so I expected good acting and I wasn't disappointed.


*This might be a spoiler, maybe not.*
Even though I didn't really like the ending, that won't affect my rating because I don't think a happy or satisfying ending has to always be the goal in movies. This whole movie made me feel pretty unsettled and anxious but in a good way if that makes sense? (my english vocab isn't the best but I'm trying to think of words to describe my feelings, please understand hehe)
If you like open endings and psychological stuff, this will suit you really well.
I finished watching it maybe 15 minutes ago and I think I need a moment to do some thinking.
In short: Not for people who don't bother to think after or aren't capable of understanding "deep" stories in the first place.

We love a future without cancer

The actors did a great job! And i don't regret watching. But this ending was lazy.

If you just watched the movie and thought:
"This was so smart because after the credits scene you realize that the wicked one woke up faster than the lead's mom, so ended up killing her and kept the lead a prisoner for 20 years, mirroring the start of the movie."

This was exactly what the screenwriter tried to convey, but the timeline doesn't add up.

The movie only presents a new future, when things are set and done (for the time being). immediately after someone survives or dies the future adapts afterwards. Meanwhile on this brand new future before the credits, the lead had enough time to search for her mom at the hospital (idk why... cause this whole going back cured her cancer in every alternative future LMAO), at the police station and also had time to run to the cemetery and meet her mom there. So this new future was somehow set. Going "back" to hear that phone call that was made before the cop and the mom arrived, warning the wicked that she would die doesn't make much sense. Unless for the FIRST time in this movie, the writer suddendly makes it possible for temporary futures to be presented to the viewers. So the wicked didn't die and woke up before the mom and killed her and made the lead a prisoner (mirroring herself when she was younger). ok, that's cool, but that never happened before though. The future was always showed after the past scene was dealt with. The lead had some solid 30/45min in this new future though, since she runs everywhere she goes... doesn't make sense.

So to me this was lazy. They had a 3 star movie if they ended with a happy ending, so they created this poorly written new ending so that they can keep people talking about the possibilities of the ending credits, and end with an 4 star movie. And that's lazy. It works for the majority of people, but the truth it's the timelines don't always match.

Also can't someone just call 911. ffs.

"Let me tell you the story about the call that changed my destiny..."

The plot of "The Call" as a thriller hinges on the protagonist doing profoundly stupid things to initiate and prolong the conflict between herself and the victim-turned-antagonist. So much that suspension of disbelief fractures the closer the film gets to the end. The lack of rules established for its time travel do what most time travel films do: Throw ideas, like feeling past-tense pain, at the wall.

What started out as a cut-and-dry time travel narrative about two women connecting across time, and one of them dealing with an abusive and superstitious mother (whose abuses end up being justified by the story, ffs!), quickly devolves into run of the mill thriller with lot of shrieking and yelling women.

On top of that, the ending invokes a kid kicking a monopoly board and screaming, "You didn't win! You didn't win!" when they're caught cheating. By all means, end on a bad note. But make sure you've actually built a narrative that justifies that sour note, otherwise you risk exposing weak storytelling (which this ultimately is full of).

Performances are decent, and its entertaining enough that it kept me engaged. Overall? Nothing remarkable (especially in terms of time travel movies).

When the trailer first came out people were comparing it to Signal and for that reason, I chose not to watch signal even though it was on my list on Netflix at the time because I didn’t want any comparison.

The leads gave their all to the movie and there was no dull moment, every one acted so well I felt I was watching a real life event.

The story is great, not new but unique, the cinematography is outstanding and time flew by, I didn’t even know I was already at the end of the movie until the credits rolled in.

I’m a fan of Park Shin hye but I’ll just say that this is the best acting of her career, her range of emotions in this movie is unmatched and I’m grateful to the director for recognizing her talent and giving her the role.

Jun Jong-Seo is wonderful she nailed her role and she will definitely go far in her career, she has all it takes to be great and I’ll be rooting for her.

Lee El’s appearance was short but my God, did she own her role? I loved her since I first saw her in goblin and she has never disappointed me in any role I’ve seen her, her performance is always memorable.

Kim Sung ryoung also acted her role so well, she was a great mother that didn’t mind sacrificing herself for her child.

I hope we get more female centric movies from Korea, this one was great.

Stupid Movie But Nice Cinamatopgrahy

I mean, I suppose people who don't care for a strong plot and things that make sense would like it. It just seems like a movie for the villain. They have all the power and the protagonist is struggling to breathe. You can make this a metaphor for shit but I don't buy it. We also have another case of DUMBASS COPS. Convenient moments in the plot that gives power to the villain such as the Dad arriving right at the moment the protagonist rejects the villain's instructions to tell her how she gets caught.

The whole timeline and time travel made no sense. Our protagonist is stupid as FUCK. And our villain is able to overpower three men but stood no chance against one mother who was strong and determined because of her love for her child. She was stabbed multiple times yet the villain didn't get one vital point on her???

Then we have the real stupidity. Our protagonist GETS NO MEMORY of past events as they have changed only the scars and consequence which makes no sense. If she had the memories she could at the very least have a fair chance to outwit the villain. BUT NO, the villain is OP.

What is even worse is that ALL the protagonist had to do WAS SHUT HER FUCKING MOUTH UP once she knew this bitch murdered two people and not tell her she got caught. LIKE WHY? You have proof she KILLED TWO PEOPLE. WHY WOULD YOU EVEN TRY TO CONFRONT HER. Like WHO THE FUCK TELL A KNOWN MURDER THAT THEY WILL GET CAUGHT KNOWING THEY CAN CHANGE THE PAST.

Anyway, that is the review.

acting,plot

well this is my first review, so I hope I have put my views in a proper way
I decided to watch this movie because of park shin hye , as i expected she did not disappoint me and what came as bonus is the rest of the cast especially Jeon Jong Seo
As the plot says the story unfolds with a call but the call is not just all. The connection of the past, the present and the future reminds you of the butterfly effect.
The movie will always take u by surprise which is very needed in a thriller.
Their is dialogue where in Lee El tells her daughter that she is going to die many deaths in her life, u will not understand it in the starting but later u realize why said so and also u will understand why she did what she did. She is great mother and the actress did justice by her amazing acting
The background music when she (park shin hye) realizes that something happened is just awesome.
The ending is kind off a cliffhanger but its not a problem. If not anything it only gives hope for a second season
All in all its a decent movie to watch
