Review of Natural City (2003) by Suzanne C — 23 May 2009

So the story is a bit like blade runner, but personally I believe most korean movies have more in commmon with manga than with western movies. For a non korean, it's sometimes hard to keep track in the movie...them korean men all look the same to me and when you have to read the subtitles on top of that it can sometimes get confusing during fast paced fighting sequences. Do love the sound of the language, it's something between chinese and japenese if you know what I mean.

The movie is more complex and emotionally deeper than blade runner. The look of the movie is great, some really nice scenes in there. It ends like many asian movies in a overly heroic self offering. The music is good, I loved the music with the end titles...to bad they don't give any subtitles with that :s.

Definitely gonna watch this one again, think I might enjoy it a bit more second time around.
