Sympathy for Lady Vengeance (Watched and Written on November 18, 2012)
Typing before I’m done with the whole movie. AND I LOVE IT!
All Korean movies I’ve seen so far (Mostly Horror and K-Dramas) have been really good. Everything is well thought up and really believable.
Sympathy for Lady Vengeance is about a woman, who recently got out of jail after being imprisoned for kidnapping and killing a little boy. After leaving the prison, she meets back with her former cell mates, and calls upon favours from them. It seems she is planning something. After awhile, you realize she didn’t commit the murder, but confessed to it willingly. The movie hops back and forth, from the past to the present. It shows Lee Geum-ja’s life and some bits about her cell mates.
Guam-ja’s life and her story is actually very sad. What happened to her and in her life is actually heartwrenching.
It’s hard to talk about it without giving away too much.
*Finished movie*
Afterthoughts:
The ending is confusing and I’m trying to figure out what happened after (which is what I always do) then I realized, I felt fine with this ending. Any more or any less would have been too much. I looked around on Google, and no-one really knows about those parts. I, for once, added the OST to my Youtube playlist.
I also just learned it is part of a trilogy directed by the same person. Guess what I’m watching?
Anyway, my Usagi Hikari’s Official Rating for Sympathy for Lady Vengeance is a B+. A South Korean film about revenge a woman is taking after serving a sentence for a crime she did not commit. It’s is part of a trilogy which I have yet to watch. Apparently though, you don’t need to watch the other movies in order. SfLV is the last movie in the trilogy.
*Sorry that I haven't been updating this blog lately. I'm doing a lot of Homework until the month is up/break starts. I have posts that I've been working on, but I haven't been working on them at home. If you want more info on the break I've been taking, please look at my post on Erased Out. I'll link it on here. http://hiddenwriterspoets.blogspot.com/2012/12/erased-out-on-hiatus-until-further.html
Thank you for all the support in the past, and hope that support will continue in the future! Once break starts, more posts and updates will be done to make up for everything!*
Ciao for now, and Usagi hopes to see all of you soon!
