The silly side of suicide
| "Moodori" is a richly enjoyable, wildly funny and ultimately poignant movie about the aged residents of an obscure mountain town who seek to cash in on a group of people who have chosen it as the place to come to end their lives. Seo Hee Seung is featured as Bang Yun, an inept young reporter who wants to advance her career by getting the inside scoop on this growing suicide trend. However, her undercover efforts go awry when the suicide pact crowd ropes her in to their deadly endeavor. Will the whacky oldsters succeed in turning others' deaths into a profitable venture? Will poor Bang Yun's nose for news cost her her life? Apart from some unfortunate bathroom humor, this terrific film hits all the right notes. Highly recommended. |

Okay, right, so this film is about..well, like the theaters code of conduct with the word "Macbeth" (don't read this in a theater if you are an actor) to utter it may bring bad luck, I wont enunciate the key word that this film pivots on here, but mention what this great film is like. To cut to the chase, this is one entertaining film which I enjoyed very minute of. Its a gem, and you won't regret buying this! T-r-u-s-t- M-e! A mild black comedy of quirky humor and tragic sadness that moves along at a brisk and fun pace, its all a very lively movie. You can't take it all too seriously, either. Story Bits? Well...a female reporter in Seoul who after being conned over a news story by a farcical levitating mystic then gets booted out of her job (her boss is an irritating realist, ya see) and is then told (by her irritating boss) as she pleads with him to keep her job, to, ahem, consider her mortality. After drowning all her sorrows at a local video on-line gaming baang (getting 'drunk' on over pondering Linage 2 or Starcraft, maybe) finds on one of the computer terminals a web site advertisement for the Moodori village and of its 'main attraction' to get-on-down! For a reporter this 'getting on down' could be a good story! Moving on to this Moodori in Kangwoon Province we then find a group of three old locals constantly accommodating city dwellers visiting their humble village to appreciate the air, climate and, for some reason, a large mountain side with a lovely wide screen panoramic view point to consider their futures by - often leaving their shoes behind as a memento of their visit. I won't say what the city dwellers actually do (that word - bad karma) but will mention that these influx of sight seers would certainly want to avoid the local Korean Parachute Group or the Oversized Trampoline Circus act at the bottom of said mountain, as that would surely spoil their top agenda visiting Moodori experience. So, with the Seoul reporter visiting Moodori (for her to bag a good news story and get over the dodgy floating mystic and for her to kiss..ugggh..and make up with her annoying boss..who always seems to be on the toilet) and of the three excellent elder ex-Vietnam Moodori locals (believe me these are young at heart - they could even hip hop, I'm sure!), you get a rural based comedy that deals with a sensitive subject matter (mum's the word) that is delivered here with style, wit and consideration. Interestingly, I found Yeong Hee Seo (who plays the reporter) a wee bit like "My Girl" actress Da Hae Lee (in fact I though that when I saw Yeong Hee's picture on the DVD cover) and as a comedy actress she really preformed well here and is quite addictive to watch. All the three main male leads were absolute troopers, too, and their camaraderie together is the main good reason to see this film. They are brilliant and make this movie a positive hit! The group of visitors to Moodori are likewise a very good set of players, also, making it overall a very fine cast. And, yes, the boss is funny really, too! Also, subject matter (hush) never becomes tasteless either, trust me, and by the carefully balanced script that tackles mirth and somber seriousness, it never really can offend anyone or belittle the key subject matter at all - its not tasteless and with the film's final message, it all turns out okay in the wash. After all, its better to tackle a difficult area than side step away from it - and its poignantly delivered. I did find that there could have been a hint reference to Eun Joo Lee by [key subject omitted] regarding the bungee jump at the end, but I'm not sure. Oh, for the sake of my grandmother's over sized birthday pullovers, go on....give this film a try! You'll love it! The cast are excellent and Young Hee looks to be another comedy actress to keep your peelers on. If you liked "A Quiet Family" definitely get it! |
