Member monkeygift Posted July 17, 2010 Member Share Posted July 17, 2010 That movie had a mild success in Korea, however the director's previous film was highly popular (The King And The Clown). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member daisho2004 Posted July 17, 2010 Member Share Posted July 17, 2010 David: I already had a thread on this movie but its under a different name: The Moon That Escaped the Cloud (Korean Zatoichi) I don't know why it was changed but if you scroll down you'll see the thread.

He's made several films inbetween including Sunny and Happy Life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member HAZ Posted August 4, 2010 Member Share Posted August 4, 2010 I saw this. There's a lot of potential in the production, but the film is not that great. Some nice fights, no plot development, the subs are unreadable in parts because of white subs on white backround. The Zatoichi clone is an acupuncturist, not a masseur. He's the best part of the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member VenomsFan Posted August 4, 2010 Member Share Posted August 4, 2010 Great characters. This is a nice samurai flick. Acting is solid. What I like best about the Korean movies is they stay away from flying and strings, leaning towards more realistic fights, especially the samurai battles. This is no exception. Trying to remember the last time we've seen a good Samurai flick. This is definitely one of them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member daisho2004 Posted August 31, 2010 Member Share Posted August 31, 2010 OK I got to watch this movie last night and I loved it, great movie. Hwang who played the Blind Zatoichi type was great he made the movie, without giving away any plots, I just wish he had some more fight scenes instead of the one big one in the movie. Definitely a must own movie. Great storyline and Great action scenes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Poelie Posted September 20, 2010 Member Share Posted September 20, 2010 Agreed, except for the last act where the drama gets a bit too heavy for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Space Posted December 13, 2010 Member Share Posted December 13, 2010 Finally watched this (on Youtube) and I liked it more than I thought. The lighthearted music early on was a bit cheesy and there was some melodrama but otherwise it was pretty good. I liked the metaphor relating to the mind of the cloud or the moon. I've yet to be disappointed by any Korean movies I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
