Recalled (2021)


 


Recalled is a 2021 South Korean  mystery thriller directed by seo yoo-min starring Seo yea-ji, Kim kang-woo and Yeom Hye-ran in lead roles. 


The film tells us the story of Soo-jin(seo yea-ji) who met with an accident during a hitchhiking and loses her memory. After that she begans to experience disturbing visions about deadly murders and accidents which happens in the future. 

I am always being fascinated by Korean cinema and how they come up with these unique plots and scripts and this film is one of the best and highly recommended Korean films released this year.



The story was quite predictable at the beginning and was a bit slow but as the movie progresses it became engaging and suspenseful and ended with an incredible twist. The emotional scenes were really touching.


The major pros are:

Acting : The performances of main characters were really good especially seo yea-ji, her performance was so amazing. And Kim kang-woo did a great job. Their combination scenes were all really good



Direction:

Kudos to the director Seo yoo min for her directorial debut. She did a great job delivering a thrilling experience from start to end.



Climax was really good..


The only Con I felt was Cinematography, it should have been better and I felt like some missing in story somewhere(personal opinion)


Overall.

Recalled is a good thriller with a good twist and some great performances..


FINAL VERDICT: GOOD

Oppenheimer (2023)

  Oppenheimer is a rich narrative that blends physics, politics, history and morality. The film focuses entirely about the moral dilemma faced by Dr Robert Oppenheimer because of his greatest invention. The biographical war drama film written and directed by Christopher Nolan narrates the life story of the father of the atomic bomb J Robert Oppenheimer. But unlike his previous films, this isn't about something epic. It's a documentary style movie told in the most grandeur and epic way. The narrative captures the audience attention right from the beginning.  "Prometheus stole fire from the gods and gave it to man, For this He was chained to at rock and tortured for eternity" This quote at the beginning of the movie encapsulates the entire tale of one of the most controversial figures of the century. The film takes us through physics, history, politics, morality and human emotions.  As I said earlier, this isn't like any of Nolan's previous ventures but somethi...

Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021)

 "Finally the bells have rung  The forces of darkness have heard it" The God died on earth. The light of hope that had set the day apart from the night is bound There is no other way. The war had begun" The much-anticipated #zacksnydersjusticeleague has finally arrived. I approached the film in two ways:  As a DC Fan and, As a film by my favourite director Zack Snyder Either way, this was one hundred percent satisfying. The story of the movie is in many ways better than the Josh Whedon version released in 2017.  The film revolves around the death of Superman,a symbol of hope. and the consequent arrival of the evil spirits who have been afraid to set foot on earth for so long and then the formation of Justice League. "Zack Snyder's Justice League is a success in whatever way the 2017 film failed"   Deep Character portrayals The Characterization of the villain Steppenwolf deserves special mention. In Snyder cut, he is not a waste like the one which released ...

Mother(2009)

  “You and me are one, we’ve got each other!” Mother( madeo ) is a 2009 South Korean thriller film directed by Bong Joon-ho , starring Kim Hye- ja and Won Bin . The plot follows a mother who, after her intellectually disabled son is accused of the murder of a young girl, attempts to find the true killer to get her son freed.  Last year when i finished watching Darren Aronofsky’s film “Mother(2017)” which was one of the best films I watched that year, I came to know about this particular film of the same name from South Korea. When I checked it out I was surprised because it was a film directed by Bong Joon Ho who is one of my favorite directors around the world. Ever since I watched his “Memories of the murder” and “Parasite” I am so excited to see his films, so this 2009 south Korean film entered into my watchlist but unfortunately, i completely forgot about it until i saw a high praising review of this film on the internet last week starting with “Bong Joon ho is God”, I w...
