Korea, frankly, has a majorly messed up mindset when it comes to ideas of physical beauty and self worth. Hence a film revolving around the use of plastic surgery as the means to happiness as the top earning Korean comedy of all time. Frankly I find it troubling, but the Koreans lapped it up at a pace that landed it firmly in the Top 10 Korean box office of all time and it's coming to DVD. It's 200 Pound Beauty and it releases April 20th, with English subtitles included.
Oh boy did this movie ever suck. I really don't understand what constitutes an enjoyable flick for the people down here.
This movie does really suck !!! We can see how important is the plastic surgery in Korea. The director doesn't even believe in the moral he gives...
it really did suck, the whole time i kept thinking, just how many korean women actually have a weight problem like the main character... isn't this just another flick making fun of those who don't live up to the model standard??
TOP TEN????? Holy it was good, but not that good. Reading the responses here, I'm cleary the only one who really digged that movie heh :S
I thougt about biting and going for a pre-order a few nights ago. But it looks really fucking stupid.
I liked it, sure it was all a bit silly. But it wasn't shouting, hey young women, get plastic surgery.
People, it's a comedy, that's all.
I liked it too.. I think you guys are missing the "bigger" picture of this movie... Undelying theme. Anyone?
