WELL THIS WAS CHILLING

Spoilers ahead !!!
I just finished watching it and omg wowwww
What a literal rollocoaster of emotions.
The movie starts off pretty chill and then gets more and more intense.
Nothing felt rushed. I think the movie was well paced.
The story does a good job showing how even an innocent looking boy could be a serial killer which no one could ever know from a norm perspective.
The fact that now in modern days we as people really live on our phones 24/7 and save all our private information that can actually be hacked with software. This does happen alot irl. Honestly watching the show gave me the chills throughout. It was so creepy how nami was being stalked especially thru her phone cameras etc. Ot makes me feel weirs using my phone right now after watching the show ? I will never install any sus apps after this.
The acting of nami was a 10/10. You could really feel her emotions especially at the ending with her dad.
The plot twist was crazy, I was a lol confused but after reading some explanations now I really understand the who the stalker really is
Some parts are a bit plain like the role of the detectives but ig this movie was soley based on the predator and preys pov.
Nevertheless it was a good watch.

Funny in its own way

I started this because of some clips that went viral on TikTok. Tendo was so cute and funny that i just NEEDED to watch this.

It had good humor and good action scenes, the scene with a zombie shark surprised me but it was such a good fighting scene. I’m really happy they didn’t unnecessarily kill important characters like Kencho for example.

Throughout the movie I thought they would sacrifice him for shock value like they usually do in zombie movies but i’m really happy none of that happened.

I’m also really happy that they remained as a trio together. Such a cute friendship between each of them!!! And i’m glad Tendo got to have his dream job in the end hehe

Great storyline and mesmerizing acting with a NOTE. Laogong!

Stumbled this bcs I got hooked with the trailer and how the stories goes. Heres what I get.

(Pro) : -This has to be the best storyplot in taiwanese bromance/bl genre. The story is well cooked.
- Wu Minghan(Greg) really carried the from the beginning into the end with his acting
- The comedy is really well done :))))))))
- Did I cry ? Yes !

(Cons) : - Great Story line but I wish execution was better. Bcs theres so many stories in here that make you bawl your eyes out.
- Missed opportunity in some scene, theres a scene that actually can make you cried but they keep changing and jumping in the other words it actully has fast-deliver story execution. I just wish it was slower so I can enjoy some part like the part under the bridge it was missed opportunity and also the bar scene it was a good opportunity but again they ruined it !
-The Unnecesary Nudity, theres a lot of nudity in this movie that really seems often appeared. They dont really have to show it anyway since they have a strong storyline tho.
-CGI, Its not bad it just I dont really care bcs i came for the story not for anything else so yeah :)))))))))))))))

It's pretty much Gonjiam. The only likeable character was Jaemin (I think that was his name. The actual ghost hunter with brains)
I still don't understand why they all came together? They seemed to not actually know each other but did? It's all a bit weird and up in the air for me.

While I did like the movie, them fighting at at each other's throats CONSTANTLY took so much away from the movie for me.. I would under if that happened out of fear but even from the beginning the main dude was a asshole and annoying as hell.

I don't understand the reasoning behind letting him outside to see the headstone and show no bars on the door either. That confused me..

I felt more sympathy towards all the trapped ghost. I really wonder if it would have made a difference if they attempted to unlock doors/cages. Cuz can you imagine having ghosts back you up against the main thing keeping you all there? Lol but I get it. It's just a movie and I'm looking waaayyyy to much into it. But still.

With Halloween coming up, this would be a great movie to add to your list.

"We know it's wrong, but preaching won't help"

Women of the Night was a brutal look at women without a support system who were left to fend for themselves on the streets during post WWII Japan. Sisters Fusako and Natsuko took different roads, but both ended up at the same destination—prostituting themselves to survive. Once again, Mizoguchi showed the devastating affects of war and poverty on women, this time taking on topics that were often taboo.

Mizoguchi spared no one in this melodramatic look at the plight of women in the chaotic years after the war. A husband died, two children died, parents died, dying of malnutrition was a real fear, two sisters slept with the same man, opium was on the scene, STDs were dealt with, two characters were raped, gangs preyed on the weak, abortion was discussed, and pregnancy affected a main character. While life on the streets could be rough and deadly, Mizoguchi veered from informative into an area that felt exploitive.

Aside from desperation, the film was filled with anger, deep seething anger. Rage-filled Fusako hoped to infect as many men as she could. Natsuko only saw men as a way to make money, even willing to betray her sister to find a patron. The prostitution gangs fiercely guarded their territory, viciously attacking any woman who wandered their way or sought to turn straight. Men patrolled the streets looking for easy marks to rob and rape, further exasperating the predicament of young women on their own. Once "defiled" the girls often felt they had nowhere to turn but to prostitution.

Fusako had resisted turning to prostitution until the betrayal, which felt like an insincere reason for abandoning hope, and immediately diving into the world of street walking. By the end of the film, she made a 180 in the shadow of the Madonna in a bombed-out church that looked like a cemetery. It brought to mind the old Madonna (virgin) or whore definitions for women. She decided that she would work on behalf of all women for a world where their virtue could be protected. After being shown the dire straits women without family or fortune faced it felt insincere and an excuse for a hopeful ending. When the Purity Association had preached chastity at a women's clinic, the prostitutes jeered that they weren't turning tricks for fun and who would feed them if they quit? Would jobs suddenly be available and polite society accept them? Would men no longer take advantage of them? At one point there were 70,000 officially recognized prostitutes, not counting those who worked the streets. Mizoguchi repeatedly heaped humiliating trials and tribulations upon the female characters in this film and seemed to leave them with the false hope that simply walking away would provide them with food and shelter and a society that might come to accept them and be a safe place for women. After all the fury, degradation, and sorrow, the film's ending felt trite and unearned.

Ending Spoiler!!

This was an amazing movie. It had a great story, wonderful acting, and the production was amazing.

I had heard alot about this movie being great but never took the time to watch it. I finally had to search for it when this movie was brought up in a tv show I was watching. I’m disappointed I hadn’t watched it sooner! It was a fantastic movie! Definitely something you don’t want to miss if you enjoy this genre.

Although I did highly enjoy watching this movie I am just a little bit disappointed with the ending. The ending of this movie was much more sad than I expected. Out of all of the characters that you are introduced to throughout the movie only two survive the whole thing. There’s a moment towards the very end where it seems as if those last two may also be killed off and in my opinion it would have made a better movie if they had been. Although it would have been heart breaking to see them go, it would have made for a much more interesting ending because I’ve never seen a movie where no one survived in the end.


Despite this, as I had stated in the beginning, this is an amazing movie. Great actors, great story, and great production. It’s definitely on my rewatch list

Realistic and heart wrenching in a way

Although the movie is of a shorter length, it manages to deliver its message clearly.

All the actors did such a great job. Sometimes it was a bit hard figuring out whether their facial expressions were a part of the sign language or the acting/emotion itself (mainly during the scene where the FL was coming out to her parents) but overall it was beatiful to see all of the cast using the sign language to communicate.

My absolute favourite thing about the movie would be the past when Ayumi drew the gender, sex/body, and sexual orientation graph for Hana, and then Hana scribbled the sexual orientation one and just wrote Ayumi's name there. That was such a nice message, showing that you don't need to label yourself to be valid too.

The second half was focused on the supporting characters which took me a bit by surprise by how much screentime their flashbacks and stories got but at the end I was happy for it, their stories deserved to be told too. The best thing is that they all got their happy endings yet it still felt realistic.

Overall I rate this movie 9/10.

Speechless

I knew what this movie was about and yet still I chose to watch it because of my favourite actor Gong Yoo.

Although I knew what this movie was going to be about, I wasn’t aware of what the ending would be.

Throughout the movie I had to take several pauses especially once they started showing scenes of the kids being sexually assaulted.

I think at some point I had trouble with breathing, it was disgusting and frustrating and heart wrenching.

This movie only made me think about how there are actual children in the world going through this, and despite the help- we fail them.

I can’t stop crying over this movie. I can’t stop this ugly feeling inside of my heart from the wronging I feel.

How could an adult watch a video of a child being raped and do nothing about it? How could you be so fucking disgusting? I really can’t wrap my head around it.

This whole movie changed me a lot. I cannot believe how adults lose morality when it comes to children. CHILDREN.

I hope every person who has inflicted any sort of pain on a child, burns in hell for all eternity.

Sorry for ranting so much, my comment on the movie is that the actors did very well, especially the child actors. So very well done and performed. I couldn’t stop crying through the court scenes and when the boy died. Amazing acting. I would never watch this movie again but it is still great nonetheless.

An Emotional Roller-coaster!! Be sure to shed some tears

First and foremost, the movie was absolutely hilarious in the first half and an absolute tear-jerker in the second half. The comedy scenes will truly make you laugh, while the family scenes will truly make you cry.

The story itself as well as the acting is on point in conveying the underlying tones.. Since it's a remake, therefore there are some changes but overall it did not impact the story in any negative way. Both ML and FL did a fantastic job. Still, there was a lack of romance that felt missing because the chemistry between ML and FL was great and it would have been nice to have some more heart-fluttering moments between them.

Overall! A fine Gem indeed.

Seven year itch

Secret Love is an early bl or rather LGBT movie (2014) by GMMTV's house prolific director Jojo Tichakorn. That guy is seriously talented. Like seriously!!!

Even this short movie in spite of bad cinematography and looking amateurish, is better than a big number of currently airing bls. Apparently it is based on a true story. But the synopsys is misleading, to say the least.

Wan and Tar have been in a happy relationship for years. when Wan got a new job. In the office his immediate superior, Ohm, is kind, attractive and very touchy feely so much so that Wan falls completely for him. Tar realizes something has changed and when he confronts his boyfriend , Wan prefers to break up instead of trying to figure out what went wrong. Tar even contacts Ohm hoping to get his boyfriend back. They start talking and a connection is created between Tar and Ohm as well. Ohm actually falls for both of them!

The short film touches on important issues: adultery and sexual harassment at work. Nothing is sorted out and they eventually all go their separate ways. But the movie shows how easy it is to succumb to temptation and that there is a thin line between being friendly and harassment. The tension and the chemistry between the characters are palpable, so much so that I wanted them to finish all three of them together. No such result but still....

The actors are a mixed lot: Gun is just awful! I hated him in 2gether and here he is just as bad: he cannot help grimacing while trying to be cute: it does not work, it is just annoying! The other two , Ten and Pop as Tar and Ohm respectively, are excellent showing a range of emotions with restraint. By the way, where are those actors now? Why aren't they acting anymore? What a waste!

The movie is an early project and it shows: it is a bit all over the place (low budget +lack of experience probably) but the story is gripping and it is an excellent watch if you overlook the low production values (and a very bad quality video of it on youtube! ).

A satisfying ending to their story

Not going to lie, I was super nervous about this movie because I didn't know what to expect. I really wanted to see their relationship mature and I'm happy to say that I got just that. Even though Hira still isn't the most confident person, this movie showed us that he has potential and that he can become a King too! I thought that was such an important moment and I loved that Noguchi played such a big role in that. There were a lot of cute and hot moments which is always a nice addition but for me, the other interesting part was that they don't fight with each other like they did in previous seasons. It shows a lot of growth and I fully believe that they can only get better at communication at this point. There was still angst between them but that's to be expected, in my opinion. We can't have a movie without angst, right?
And lastly, I want to mention how incredibly wonderful the cinematography was! They just can't miss. They said we are going to make the most aesthetically pleasing movie and they did it like it's nothing to them. I was once again impressed by the beauty of the scenery. When they started looking for new places, I was SO SAD because I didn't want them to leave that house... I'm emotionally attached to it... so I was very happy that in the end, they ended up not moving out. That's their home and I want them to live there for the rest of their lives<3
