A-m-a-z-i-n-g, 17 March 2007

This movie is great, I've just seen it in the 22nd Mar del Plata Film Festival (Argentina).
It's slow, VERY slow --and now you are warned. But it has to be slow. This feeling of unpleasantness that the spectator can't avoid is what the movie tries to achieve by hyper-exaggerating every aspect of the consumist, individualist society in which we live.
The way how the "plot" develops is great: it's circular, it goes over and over the same thing, there's nothing beyond, it's not possible to go anywhere, it just seems like a magnificent disgusting photograph of what we choose to neglect everyday. It's a decadent vision of mankind: there seems to be no way out, just a bottomless (w)hole through which we inevitably fall.
Do not expect to have fun, not even to enjoy it. You will begin to enjoy what you've just seen when you are out of the theater thinking of it.

Gyeong-tae Roh's work will grow on you., 3 February 2007
Author: stpfan44 from United States
The reason why people don't like "Majimak babsang" is because their mind is so used to the standard Hollywood formula of film-making as to they can't comprehend what Gyeong- tae Roh was trying to express, and aside from the obscured scenes that was revealed in the movie, only a hand-full of people on this planet has the patience to sit through something like this.
I admit i felt like walking out, but i didn't. Its been a few months now since i saw it, and I can't get it out of my mind.
Gyeong-tae Roh is different and talented!

1/2 the theater walked out at Sundance, 29 January 2007
Author: EmjayKay from Los Angeles
This was probably the worst thing I've ever paid for in my life. Saw it at Sundance Film Festival this weekend and 1/2 the theater walked out - it was revolting, repulsive, and punishment. There was no story, no point to this film whatsoever. There was maybe a sentence or 2 every ten minutes or so, otherwise it was a lot of unpleasant images one after another with the most painfully slow pace imaginable.
I would only recommend this film to prisoners who are in prison - because that's what it felt like. It felt like I'd committed a crime and having to watch this film was the result.
For the sake of art, I kept trying to think - oh let me just give it a chance, maybe it will get better, when in fact it continued to get worse.
