A TALE OF TWO SISTERS SUCKS
[quote name="Fussbett"]<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0365376/" target="tale">A TALE OF TWO SISTERS</a> From Korea, Japan's Mexico, comes this stylish horror drama shot against the floral prints of victorian-era wallpaper and decor. After I got over my love of the cinematography and set design, I was left with my same old boring criticisms of mediocre asian horror movies. I try to be original and say new things as much as possible, but how can I when these filmmakers in Asia <a href="http://www.caltrops.com/pointy.php?action=viewPost&pid=9508">don't listen to me and repeat the same mistakes</a>? The scary hair girl from Ringu, it-was-only-a-dream, multiple personalities, unexplained random ghost plot elements, and a fucking jumbled timeline; every hack element was present. A Tale of Two Sisters is a horror movie parody, but so perfectly shot, people take it seriously. "Masterpiece" is mentioned FIVE TIMES on the first page alone of the <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0365376/usercomments" target="wer">IMDB user reviews</a>. Like CSI, this movie helps stupid people feel smart, because they can decipher the purposely tangled plot. [quote]But do remember.. if you don't understand the plot after the first viewing, a repeat viewing is more than advised.. I personally didn't have time for this since it was late so I flicked through scenes on the DVD, some numerous times until I had a good synopsis in my head and after looking on the net, seemed Ihad pretty much nailed it on the widely agreed interpretation. And the satisfaction from solving a puzzle like that is wonderful.[/quote]FUCK, THEN WHAT HAPPENED? DID YOU GET HUNGRY AND EAT SOME TOAST? Great review. So basically this movie is like a Rubik's Cube, if Rubik was Korean and instead of inventing a puzzle, he ripped off Ringu and Kairo and Memento and other movies. So enjoy that.[/quote]
