The Accidental Gangster and the Mistaken Courtesan
|
"Riot in a Gibang in 1724" finds a fresh way to tell a traditional tale of two hearts striving against adversity to find true love. One day courtesan Seol Ji (Kim Ok Bin) is delivered to work in a run-down brothel in a run-down neighborhood. Chun Doong (Lee Jung Jae), the street-fighting grandson of the brothel's owner, immediately falls head over heels in love with the beautiful courtesan. But two events are about to turn Chun Doong's grimy little world upside down. First, by landing one lucky punch he manages to send the leader of the famous Big Ear Gang into a ten-year long coma; against Chun Doong's will, the gang makes him their new leader. Second, we learn that the courtesan Seol Ji was delivered to his grandmother's brothel by mistake; she soon is fetched and redelivered to the fancy brothel to which she was originally bound, a brothel run by the powerful leader of the evil Big Gun Gang. Obviously, we are headed for a big showdown, as Chun Doong seeks the return of Seol Ji. The story is told with touches of wild humor, loads of CGI-enhanced fights, sumptuous period costuming, rock and hip hop music, and rich romanticism. These dischordant elements can create some jarring juxtapositions that may undercut the emotional power of the film's love story, but create a virtual feast for the eyes and ears. I've never seen anything quite like this film and I recommend it highly. |
