Even the the two principal characters of Bow, despite sharing the near tranquil relationship for most part of the movie, are in essence fiercely lonely. Most might find this cynical or nihilistic, but I feel human loneliness is a universal theme.Shubhajithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02040495040897333606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2017832040275963428.post-9351139894687445032008-12-27T21:58:00.000+05:302008-12-27T21:58:00.000+05:30This film isn't the most immediately likable one t...This film isn't the most immediately likable one that we've taken a fondness to. If you're not the kind of person who is socially introverted or know of people like that, it is hard to immerse yourself into Kim's world.<BR/><BR/>Most of his characters live like ghosts in a world that does not need their existence. They are not the type who own Facebook accounts. WE don't have Facebook accounts and maybe in some weird way that and our many other antisocial behavioral patterns made us understand this extreme alienation.1minutefilmreviewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05809587879409604427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2017832040275963428.post-4378805231921131172008-12-25T05:06:00.000+05:302008-12-25T05:06:00.000+05:30It was a happy ending for me! ;)Not to beat a dead...It was a happy ending for me! ;)<BR/><BR/>Not to beat a dead horse, but hatred is worse than indifference for me. There were times during this film and SSFW...S that I wanted to turn them off and give up, I found them that unpleasant (or banal). ;)<BR/><BR/>"Dream" held my interest, I enjoyed the characters, and I wanted to see where they would go. In the end it didn't take me anywhere too special but I didn't get mad at it, or regret watching it. Even when Kim made fuzzy use of fuzzy dream logic or filmicatical pain for mere button pushing, I hung around. It was OK.sitenoisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14026224029440247436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2017832040275963428.post-34912159000006393182008-12-24T22:10:00.000+05:302008-12-24T22:10:00.000+05:30Yes, I agree, the movie did in a way redeem itself...Yes, I agree, the movie did in a way redeem itself with the ending. However there still was a surprise factor in that, and it really can't be called a happy ending.<BR/><BR/>Yeah, its hatred is better than indifference :)Shubhajithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02040495040897333606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2017832040275963428.post-72064581414255057192008-12-24T11:06:00.000+05:302008-12-24T11:06:00.000+05:30As I think you know, I did not like this Kim film....As I think you know, I did not like this Kim film. Strangely, I thought it almost redeemed itself with the ending, as it was. <BR/><BR/>I saw His new one, Dream, last night. It was interesting but ultimately I'm indifferent to it. It didn't get my britches all in an uproar like this or SSFW...S did.sitenoisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14026224029440247436noreply@blogger.com
