“The Handmaiden (2016)"

“The daughter of a legendary thief, who sewed winter coats out of stolen purses. Herself a thief, pickpocket, swindler. The saviour who came to tear my life apart. My Tamako. My Sook-hee.”

There is a certain satisfaction you get when you hold off on seeing an all-timer, waiting until you’re fully prepared for its greatness, and then you finally see it, and it is an absolute banger.

Like, just wow! I am in total awe of just how beautiful this movie was. Told in three parts, from different perspectives that initially seemed warped, but eventually connected in the most amazing way.

There is a reason why I continue to insist on and bother with Park Chan-wook’[/i]s filmography. In an industry as conservative as the Korean movie industry, he is audacious and always dares to put the unthinkable on screen and somehow, it comes out beautiful every single time.

[i]He is a sick, sick man!, but I hope he doesn’t get help, because the way he used stunning cinematography to portray a taboo love between the two leads was next level. Like, there was an intense 69 scene between them that looked like it could go on forever, and I just sat at the edge of my seat, applauding the beauty I had just witnessed. 😩

Exceptional. Exceptional film. ✨👍🏿

8/10

Yesterday, someone I am seeing asked me about my political spectrum. I told her I don't like to share my political opinions because people are crazy.

She understood my point of view.

Nigerians worship whites? You're delusional!!! A country that was one of the FIRST in the continent to CHASE the colonizers? You couldn't even chase them away, Nigeria had to come to your help. Imagine apartheid in Nigeria... Chai!! Nigerians that challenge whites back-to-back? Even in Nigeria anywhere you see whites THEY ARE WELL BEHAVED because Nigerians go give dem wotowoto AND YOU KNOW THIS TRUTH. Nigerians are very much accommodating of other black nations. A woman selling provisions close to me is a Ghanian. And NOBODY cares. Unless a Nigerian will benefit from the white (a xter typical to every human). Come to Nigeria and see the way Pakistanis are trekking on the road, marketing kitchen equipment and NOBODY send their papa (because of their skin colour). Im not racist BTW. All humans are same to me. I repeat, SAns are not psychologically matured for the takeover they are agitating for

Not all Nigerians in THAT South Africa are drug dealers AND YOU KNOW IT

Rayjay45:
Well-represented?

We ain't even up to 5% of the population

Gerrard59:
The UK is good for Nigerians, especially our women. We forget that that's the number one country in the whole of Europe where Blacks are well represented in all spheres of life endeavours.

Watch the trailer for CARRIE.

From master of horror Mike Flanagan, and based on the Stephen King novel, all episodes premiere October 7 on Prime Video.pic.twitter.com/Q4qwxADJlu

Shanks you mean?

franchasng:
No, they followed Western countries to over empower women in marriage which is now scaring their men away from getting married.


In Korea, women are over empowered over men. Women own marriages in Korea, and I am sure same applies to Japan, and reason most young Koreans and probably Japanese are running away from getting married and having children. Japanese government needs to revisit their national laws on marriage and immigration to overcome their low productivity challenge resulting from declining population

Schindler's List (1993)..........9.5/10


This is one of the best films ever told about the Jewish massacre or Holocaust as its more popularly known, if not The Best.
It was one of the harshest depictions of war and what war turns men into. The enslavement of jews, persecution and the institutional genocide orchestrated by the German Nazi Party with its Austrian Leader.

The story was set mainly in Poland and the Krakow Concentration Camp/ district. Chronicles the atrocities by the Germans against Polish Jews.
Watching this film and remembering an episode that focused on the Jews in the German concentration camps in Band of Brothers and films depicting Japanese atrocities against mainland Chinese, I'm beginning to have a headscratcher who was more evil between the two; Nazi Germany or Imperialist Japan. Or perhaps they were literally cut from the same clothe but in different continents.

Still on my musings: I'm also left with. a bigger head scratcher as to how Liam Neeson delivered an all-timer performance as industrialist Oskar Schindler, and now mostly known for his overly beaten TAKEN franchise trope of the action star with the motto- I'll find you and I'm going to kill you.

A memorable performance from Ralph Fiennes to play the infamous War Criminal Amon Goeth.

Amon was a ruthless Nazi commander who had a peculiar pleasure for killing needlessly without reason and grew a feared reputation amongst Jews. Dude could shoot you just for being fat or slim. Killed a Jewish civil engineer for being right. And still followed her recommendation after killing her. You never knew your fate with Amon Goeth as a Jew.


Oskar Schindler became a wealthy man who profiteered from the slave labour the Jews provided but at least he was a man with a soul and conscience. Truly cared for his staff and the plight of the Jews and did everything within his power to help them as much as he could. Man showed incredible grit and sense of purpose trying to save thousands of Jews by smuggling in as many Jews as can be into his workers' list-- the Schindler's List, to go work in his Czechslovakia hometown factory under vastly favourable conditions.

After the War and the Germans was defeated, Oskar Schindler became a national hero for the Jewish community that he was recognised by the Jewish state and was buried in Israel upon his death.

One scene that pretty much struck me and stuck to me was Amon Goeth trying to be more merciful after Schindler cajoled and persuaded him into the idea of being a powerful man just by showing mercy to his to his subjects--making his subjects know fully well he wielded the power over their life or death.

Amon struggled with this notion of appealing to his good side-- being a Merciful dictator. But ultimately returned back to default settings in a few days. Which debunks the notion that Wars makes men into beasts and do despicable acts just to one up the enemy.

Its just like the maxim that money doesnt change a man. It only brings out the true character. Same can be said of War and Power.

Easily one of the Best black and white films I've ever watched alongside MANK. The cinematography was top tier and i hardly felt any different or felt missing out from coloured films.

It was a beautiful watch asides the very hard, brutal and dark themes portrayed in the movie. It is one of those hard war movies to watch, almost leaving you miserable especially towards the end. Maybe not as entirely miserable and depressed like the likes of Grave of the Fireflies or Barefoot Gen.

Steven Spielberg na baba no be today. He's cemented himself as one of the most influential Directors of all time. A litle sad man hasn't been able to command the crowd as he used to during his heydeys.

Honest surprise to also see the name of Stephen Zallian. He wrote and produced the beautiful tv show RIPLEY......and in black and white too and I can see the correlation.

While the credits rolled for this film, i was quite surprised to have seen the name Kathleen Kennedy attached to this project. A name that has been associated with the malaise that has affected the Star Wars franchise. I'm quite surprised one could go from a Masterpiece such as this to consistently regurgitating slop two decades later.

3 hours of masterpiece storytelling that i could barely take note of the lengthy screentime. An easy recommend and a reminder of how peak storytelling and pacing was in the 90s.

One of the films you should watch at least once in your lifetime no matter how short life is as a Cinephile.
