Why are Koreans so based when it comes to modern crime/thriller movies?
>The Yellow Sea
>The Chaser
>Memories of Murder
>Breathless
>The Man from Nowhere
>Oldboy and the Vengeance trilogy
So brutal and unforgiving. I absolutely love how you never know whether the stories will end on a good or bad note.
>wanting to watch a bunch of fat headed koreans
'no'

Stick to your capeshit, kid. This thread isn't for you.

>Chaser 9/10
saved me the effort of going through this shitlist

The Chaser should be 8/10
not as good as Memories of murder

What are some good Korean romance movies?

One of the main differences between Hollywood and South korean cinema is what you already listed.
The fact that it can end on a good or bad note.
Ddongpari (breathless) ending was brutal.
>inb4 capeshit kids come shitup the thread
>>63383611
This desu and I think it applies to all asian cinema. I watched The Eye and then read about the murrican version on wikipedia and apparentlyjessica alba successfully saves a kid at the end because >hurr we can't kill babby on tv

Hollywood could learn a thing or two from South Korean cinema.

You're a beatiful human being
Is there a chart for China?

Yep, Not a white mans chance in harlem Hollywood would ever show a baby dying or evne injured in the slightest in one of their movies.
Are people too sensitive in the west or what? drastically reducing the quality of their movies with happy endings every fucking time.
No wonder all they are making nowadays is capeshit.
Old Boy was boring. I liked I Saw The Devil more.
One of the very few perks of shame-based societies like Korea and/or Japan is that they don't have to cowtow to every fucking whiner whos feelings might be somewhat offenden by artistic expression, that's why their dramas feel so brutal in comparison to homogenized playing-it-safe Holywood twaddle.

From what I last remembered, they've been doing a lot of historical ones, a la Red Cliff.
It's hard to top Old Boy and the such.
>>63383842
No sorry.
>>63384121
I never thought about it that way
holy shit it makes so much sene
>>63384121
