Munho and Hyeon-gon are two friends who meet up years later. They go out to lunch and begin to reminisce. One is now a filmmaker and the other an art teacher, both share Seon-hwa in common. The story unfolds that Munho and Seon-hwa dated and Munhoo left her to study in America. While she waited, she began an affair with his friend Hyeon-gon. All these years later Munho has no idea and the two decide to go visit Seon-hwa together. Hyeon-gon expresses in the beginning that he is married and no longer sees his wife as a woman or wife anymore and instead as "human" therefore she can do as she likes. When the two meet up with Seon-hwa, Munho is obviously upset over the past and wants to rectify things with her, however, the triangle persists and then unravels into yet another entangle that made me a tad puzzled. What exactly this film meant and a tie in with the title, I'm not sure if I fully grasped. I liked many elements about the film, but felt that the lack of close ups was strange and distant, and the story felt almost open-ended. I would like to know more about it but I'd say it was still interesting.

I wasn't aware of this film until I was lured into watching it tonight. I expected a very chorus verse chorus attempt at recognition for our much overlooked Coast Gaurds. To put it truthfully, I expected a Top Gun in water. However, this ended up surprising me. Considering I'm not a fan of Ashton, this type of film, or Kevin Costner's usual cocky flair and love of showing off his ass ... I would say I was unusually swept in. It was a very intense movie from start to finish. It was also extremely long yet never really had a moment of down time. I think it was obvious to put it together from various clues through out the movie what exactly would happen but, that didn't change the over all effect. I think it was a well acted role for Kevin Costner, Ashton wasn't that bad although he's a total dork, and I think a 6.5 is being pretty harsh. I expected at least an 7.5 or higher. I would recommend this to anyone. In fact, I have a few people I intend to recommend to see it. It was one of the first films in a very long time that actually had me engaged and I didn't feel that cliché vibe to it.

Some things might be better left a mystery. I would completely disagree as a rule ... until I saw the prequel of Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I was more excited then a hooker on Friday when I heard about it's upcoming release. I clapped like a little girl when I put in the DVD. My enormous smile began to fade when the opening credits rolled. To avoid spoilers I'll just say summing up Leatherface's boyhood in a open credit's montage was a tad of a ripoff. Since I didn't want to ruin the surprise and I hate spoilers, I read nothing about this film before I watched it. I imagined it would contain the story of Leatherface from seed to monster in glorious detail. Sadly mistaken, the movie focused on the sheriff played by Ermey. I'm not complaining; I can't sing high enough praise for Ermey since I saw him in the remake and always enjoyed his acting. Although stuck in a one type role, Ermey was brilliant in films like "Full Metal Jacket". The story begins with typical foursome horny teens on the road and destined for gory demise. Leatherface was incredibly huge compared to his former selves in all versions, which I was amused by since he looked vaguely threatening instead of overweight and burnt out. Anyone who knows psychology in a basic fashion will realize within two seconds the story doesn't exactly hold much water. Lovers of a good story will complain that there are plot holes, missing explanations, weak versions, and half - ass attempts at shock value. I have many specific details I'd like to cover but I can't because I can't and don't want to "ruin" the fun. Final impressions were ... Leatherface is a pu&sy and brawn gimp, the sheriff was funny and entertaining, the story was a goulash of every other version including the most horrible of ones (yes, Mathew and Renee, I mean you), details were sketchy and rough in some place (namely what ever happened to Leather's mom), and sometimes silent chainsaws are hard to fathom. I heard a lot about the great gore of this film. Even though I thought the gore wasn't impressive I guess it wasn't completely disappointing. I was angry that with all the given resources that the story couldn't be more satisfying and well written. I know that Grandpa was oddly missing and that the characters were so stupid they deserved to die. There were some classic moments. The fat lady from the remake in the kitchen (a little humor) and the way in which a biker chick dies. Some other little moments were comical but overall I was let down. I still recommend watching to any person, not just fan. It's not an exact waste. I'm already bored of talking about this ...
