Great plot , weak progress

Rating: 8/10 (22 April 2006)

Woo-jin Lee's sister killed herself because she is pregnant by Dae-su Oh. So Woo-jin Lee put Dae-su Oh in a room for 15 years, and revenged to Dae-su Oh by setting up Dae-su, Oh to have intercourse with his daughter who is born by his sister. however, after Dae-su find out what is going on, he beg for not to tell the truth to her daughter and cuts his tongue and Woo-jin Lee not killed (or forgive) Dae-su, Oh and end up to kill himself in the elevator. It is awesome plot, whole story fits the one sentence "even though I am worse than a beast, don't I have right to live?" and dramatic ending that Dae-su and his daughter hug each other. But the progress was awfully boring and the fact this Woo-jin Lee basis of his revenge is hypothesis wasn't really fit the theme; like there was no indication that Woo-jin Lee deeply believed in hypothesis and suddenly, very end of the movie, viewers will find out that whole plot is based on hypothesis. I felt the movie was just rambling about Dae-su's life story, however, each act have its own reason for it, but for most of the viewers it will be seen as "nasty". It failed to grasp all the viewers and I personally think the progress didn't build up, it stays in one spot, also, it is hard to see the change of Dae-su, Oh. I can't say this movie is a trash, it is really well-made movie but I felt bad after this movie. makes me wonder why did director made this movie. Personally I don't like this movie.
