I genuinely love film. I'm always looking
forward to the next film, regardless of its reputation - good or bad.
Reading this blog, you've probably realized I'm really into South Korean
films, yet I enjoy watching films across the spectrum. The gore-fests,
the tearjerkers, the knee-slappers, the breath-takers... everything is
worth watching. And, I'm always excited to watch
I love a great
story. It can be a deep, meaningful story with an important message or a
whodunit, edge-of-your-seat mystery thriller - it can even be a
combination. Welcome to Dongmakgol is a notable example of a meaningful
and entertaining film; a war film that shows the similarities of people,
regardless of region, through clean humor. Gone, Baby Gone is another
film with a great story; the blend of a thought-provoking story
(particularly the ending) and edge-of-your-seat suspense creates a truly
immersive film.
I love a
film with a fantastic soundtrack. The soundtrack really sets the mood
for a film; kinda like a guide attempting to lead your emotions. The
Black Rain soundtrack is phenomenal, and a very understated Hans Zimmer
soundtrack; this soundtrack matched the mood and the setting of the film
perfectly as it blends domestic and international sounds. The Cloud Atlas soundtrack is also mesmerizing and, again,
very understated. A fantastic soundtrack blends seamlessly with the
film, and can be listened to without the film.
I love a film
with beautiful cinematography. Whether it's a film that's easy on the
eyes or a film that can leave the audience in awe, cinematography is
very important. Black Rain (yes, again!) is a beautifully-shot film, as
are most of Ridley Scott's movies; on that note, Prometheus creates an
amazing atmosphere through its beautiful visual presentation -
definitely an example of awe-inspiring cinematography. The use of color
is very important in film to create a beautiful experience and to evoke
the proper emotions; the upcoming Only God Forgives is looking very
promising from its trailer alone.
These are only a few notable
examples, and only a few elements, of why I love film. Honestly, the
story, the music, the cinematography, and the acting all blend together
to create immersive film experiences - film experiences that sweep you
away into unforgettable worlds. I'm genuinely looking forward to
everything film has to offer; what are you looking forward to?
