Hamyeondoinda (2000)
An excellent comedy, with a moral message
This movie was excellent.
The movie tells the story of a family with economic problems, and how they find an "easy" way to solve their problems. It's a comedy, but not like those awful comedies from Hollywood.
The movie deals with human greedy from a comic perspective, but also contains a moral message. As the great Molière said, "castigat ridendo mores" (criticise customs through humour), this movie is a critic of the hunger for money in modern Korean society, and, in fact, in the whole world.
This is the kind of movie that makes you laugh, and also keeps you thinking about it for a long time.
This is one of the best comedies I've ever seen.
Bichunmoo (2000)
Good photography, good costumes, but...
I hate almost all martial arts movies, but this... was not the exception.
I can see some similarities with Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet in that they both die, but god!! you can't compare it!! The story is very predictable sometimes, and it looks like stolen scenes from other movies. It becomes more boring when you realizes that the hero will not die, because after being shot, after falling from 30 meters, being poisoned, tortured etc, he's still alive!!! (he dies because he kills himself). Some times looks like if the Director and Writer had smoked weed...
I don't agree with people that say this movie is entirely bad, at least some (very few) scenes are romantic, it have good costumes, the photography is good, the females are gorgeous, and I could see a little of history, but that's all.
I wouldn't recommend this movie, unless you like senseless (and I would say stupid) love stories.
