Thirst

Welcome my friends, today is time to talk about one of the best Asian directors, Chan Wook Park.

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0661791/

He becomes really famous in U,S,A, and Europe in 2003, directing Old Boy, the second part of a trilogy, based on one central theme: vengeance. Chan Wook Park explains the revenge through different eyes, since 2002 to 2005. He told extreme stories to recount the character's views but also the director's thought about it. During the trilogy you can feel the changing in Park's mind while the time past. You have to see these 3 unbelievable movies.

An introduction that leads to my real purpose, I'm going to talk about the last work of this visionary director, Thirst.

The movie began slowly and quiet, to became thrilling and dramatic minute after minute. Starting from the faith of Sang-hyun (the priest) and his desire to help the others, to a cruel end passing through a vampire's love.

This movie changes subjects quickly but holding the main one... the love: love as religious love, then as male and female love and in the end as vampire's thirst.

Physical and psychological changes in the characters gives to the film a surreal atmosphere, full of switches of environments and colors. The drama increase slowly, you can't almost feel it, but the nature of the vampire comes up from the inside.

This is not a movie only for vampires fans, in fact probably most of them will not like this film, cause it's not the same old story about a ravenous bloodthirsty creature, there are many aspects of human psychology, of the daily human life, problems that everybody has to face in his life.

As usual I am not giving you a lot of clues on the story, cause I don't want to ruin your premiere, but I ensure you that if you spend this 2 hours you won't regret it.

I have only another suggestion for you all, Three... Extremes, 3 directors (Chan wook park, Fruit Chan, Takashi Miike), 3 stories.

Have a nice view. Let me know. See you.
