This movie is so famous. I heard a lot of praise about it from my friend and watched it a few weeks ago.

The story is thoroughly cliche but I did like the beginning. Compared to the parents' story, I would have preferred to know more about the present day love story. They focused too much on the 70s era and too less on the present day. I understood the love from the 70s but the present one hardly had any basis to fall in love.

Although the cinematography looks good, the screenplay is boring. Also I was not happy with the editing and the direction was clumsy in parts. I expected better from this movie and had to skip a few parts.

I would not watch it again, but anyone looking for a pure and innocent kind of love story- here it is for you.

This movie is at first quite a typical ghost horror movie. Some may get bored, but the excitement starts when you get deeper in the story. The actors pulled this off really great, because you can see very long scenes, without any cuts and it's somehow very real. We can see Mirai's and Haruna's true selves. At least it looks like it.
The story is maybe a bit shallow and not too interesting, but the climax is really great and I think this part makes this film an unique one. I won't say more, just watch this movie to the end. To the VERY end.

About rating the music...how can I rate when there wasn't any music? XD

First of all, do not be frightened by the *low* score.. I am trying to stay objective about everything I watch nowadays, no random 10's...
So, I adored the story line.. It had real character building (even though it's a movie) and all the small stories that were featured were heartbreakingly moving in a beautiful way. This is a bit of a cry movie, but in a sweet way (and you actually feel happy about crying).

The acting was good, nothing to be amazed about. She did a great job, he did it a bit less (but that was due to the very tiny character building on the male lead side) but the lovely thing in this movie were all the suporting role, they made the movie sweet and fun to watch.

However, for Running Man fans... get ready to grin your face off... Lee Kwang Soo has a super fun suporting role (and there are cameo's of his RM colleagues)

Well, because of the important role of music in the movie (she's a radio DJ and ex-idol and all) you would expect an outstanding Original Soundtrack... That was not really the case, but if you watch the movie you'll get why I gave a 10 for music.

All in all, the movie gives a good vibe and message about how people sacrifice themselves to help others and the importance of loved-ones

Definitely a rewatch

p.s. can be watched in any mood. Really, any mood.

I watched this movie more than 2 years ago.
The reason why I suddenly feel the need to write a review is because I believe it has been wronged in more than one respect. First, the badly written synopsis which focuses on irrelevant details and gives the impression this were a depraved movie of some sort - which is not.
Second, because I have a very hard time understanding why anyone should watch a movie well knowing it deals with incest and then complain about the fact that it portrays such a delicate and offending issue. It's like eating at a sushi bar and then refusing to pay because one doesn't like raw fish.

The main theme of this movie is two biological siblings loving each other. This is not a spoiler, as it is clearly stated in the synopsis. If you think you can't face the issue and are disgusted by the idea, I suggest you simply don't watch it.
On the other hand, if you can confront the matter of an adolescent being obsessed with his sister, this movie deals with it in a delicate, far from vulgar way. It is very well acted and stresses upon the internal - we may call it infernal too - struggle of the male lead to overcome his obsession.
It's a slow film which doesn't play on events as much as it tries to depict the battle between reason and passion. It is not a romantic movie by any means either, and yet there's a sweetness surrounding some of the scenes which goes beyond the mere issue of this being a wrong sort of love.

I can't remember the music, hence the non-committal mark.

Among all the movies I like to rewatch, this is certainly not on the top of my list. However, it is a brave movie which I believe deserves at least some fair mentioning.

This is a very good movie. A very, very good movie.

The story is flawless- or am I just saying that because it's so well known? No, I'm pretty sure it's flawless. If you've seen both of the Disney movie, you'll notice certain aspects that join together in this movie, only with a much more serious tone added to it. The story was paced incredibly well considering the span of time with movie goes through, and still packed that emotional punch.

The casting got a less than perfect score for just one reason, which I shall get to after I rave about the main actors. The actress that played Mulan fit the role incredibly well in my opinion, although I have seen some that disagree. She's feminine, yet can pull of being a man. And Wentai? Not only is he a brilliant actor, but his looks grow on you so that by the end he's the hunkiest man alive. There were no significantly amazing or terrible actors elsewhere in the movie, but my problem with the casting lies in the actor person cast, not their acting abilities.
The white guy. If you've seen the movie, you know who I'm talking about. He's just SO out of place! I think his existence is justified in the movie, but I don't think he really belongs there- he didn't really contribute much tot he story.

The music is wonderful. It fits the mood, it's nice to listen to, and is not overly cheesy. What more can you ask for? I recommend sticking around for the credits, like I did, just to listen to the music.

I'd rewatch this right now, and I just finished it- so YES. Definitely worth rewatching.
I highly, highly recommend this movie.

This is now one of my all time favorite films that deals with horror. I thought the story was really good and the characters were really cool too. The story and music really sent chills down my spine, and i don't usually get scared easily, but i have to admit, seeing that lady's face totally made me want to jump an inch.

I rated all of it a 10 because the story was so scary and the cast and acting was so real, it would make you want to think twice about wandering the streets alone, especially if your a child, as you don't want to be by yourself, especially if a strange women in a coat with scissors pops up and asks you if she was pretty. Most especially if she wears a mask around her face.

and in the end it did leave a message, especially if your a young single mother: always treat your kids with kindness,love, and respect, and never take your anger and emotions out on your kids. Otherwise they might end up missing, or might end up like the male protagonist's siblings. And that could be a scary and grim situation.

i recommend watching this film if you want a film that would literally send chills down your spine (even if you don't get scared easily) or one based on Japanese folklore as this movie is based on the Japanese legend (pretty similiar to Candyman and Bloody Mary).
You should definitely watch it. You won't be disappointed ^_^

Story: It’s a beautiful tragic romance. There are some cliche parts, such as Makoto liking another girl while she looks on, but it is so beautifully done that I don’t even care. It’s unique in a way. She lacks a growth hormone, making her look very young when in reality it’s deeper than just that. The two of them are perfect together, as friends and lovers. The ending will definitely make you cry, it made me ball my eyes out.

Music: The music set the mood for everything and the ending theme is so beautifully sung I put it on my ipod right away. It’s one of those songs (for me at least) that whenever you’ll hear it, your heart will jerk because it will remind you of that tragic relationship between the two mains.

Cast/Acting: The leads were all I cared about, honestly. I was too absorbed in their odd relationship to even care about the rest of the cast, who only held a certain amount of air time anyway. They did great getting into their characters and playing the parts. It all seemed very sincere to me. They seemed to

Movie is divided into 3 totally different stories. So...we have tree ways to end our world: zombie attack, robots becoming more spiritual then humans and of course giant 8-ball that will destroy the earth. I have to say the last story was most bizarre and most enjoying to watch. This movie is crazy! Really! Story is unique there is no doubt! I actually enjoyed watching it a lot. Even the zombie version, although I don't usually prefer this kind of movies, but the way zombie virus hit the population was interesting. I can only say that recycling is scary... The robot story reminded me of Japanese anime, and the whole soul in the shell concept. And of course mine favorite 8-ball attack.
This movie is not for anybody, some will hate it some will love it, I'm in between, and I will give this movie strong 7.
