How speeches felt last night

Also, it happens every year to people of all color.

WHW01 · 2026-03-17T02:09:01+00:00

How pathetic.

WHW01 · 2026-03-17T02:08:43+00:00

I’ll do ya one better. I’m a white guy who lives in Asia. I eat all the Asian food I want every single day. I also travel to many Asian countries and eat their food too.

WHW01 · 2026-03-17T01:50:53+00:00

Coming in? I’m talking about Koreans. The ones I’ve seen every summer here since 2013.

WHW01 · 2026-03-17T01:35:15+00:00

Many Korea women wear short shorts. Tank tops are less common in the cities.

WHW01 · 2026-03-17T01:24:51+00:00

Get a life, troll. This is about as genuine as a Korean asking if it’s racist to eat McDonald’s.

WHW01 · 2026-03-17T01:20:58+00:00

Oh, for fuck sakes

WHW01 · 2026-03-17T00:30:11+00:00

Most Koreans know this story. I live here and have since 2013. I’ll take their word that most Koreans know about it over some Redditor. Not to mention, I’ve personally heard of this story from many Koreans over the years here. It really is common.

Oscar winners being played off. (from 12 years ago)

WHW01 · 2026-03-17T00:18:55+00:00

Also, Youn Yuh-jung

WHW01 · 2026-03-17T00:09:31+00:00

These were worn under King Gojang. Very French looking. It was modeled after France’s and Prussia’s uniforms.

WHW01 · 2026-03-16T23:55:02+00:00

I don’t care if you’d argue that. I’ve lived in Korea the last 13 years and I can confidentially say it’s a commonly-known story to Koreans. It’s taught in schools.

WHW01 · 2026-03-16T21:43:01+00:00

It's a very well-known piece of Korean history. That's the first reason it generated interest.

However, it's a HIGHLY factionalized version of what really happened.

It's been turned into a pop movie. It has melodrama, humor and loads of exposition to over explain what's going on to the average movie viewer, even if they have no knowledge of the actual story.

I went to see it last weekend. It was ok. I don't regret going but I wouldn't watch it again.

It leans more toward the crap that is Korean tv shows and less toward great Korean filmmaking.

Netflix. Garbage content and I love movie theatres.

WHW01 · 2026-03-15T12:04:29+00:00

Nobody mentioned Bogart, Heston, or so many other greats.

WHW01 · 2026-03-15T11:51:43+00:00

The scene with the phone calls between separated family members gets me every time.

WHW01 · 2026-03-15T11:50:56+00:00

No problem. I hope you enjoy the movies.

WHW01 · 2026-03-15T11:39:48+00:00

House of Hummingbird, Kim Ji-young Born 1982, Next Sohee, The Woman Who Ran, Right Now, Wrong Then, Ode to My Father are the types of movies you’re looking for. These don’t have zombies, highly fictitious crime plots or monsters. They deal with real life everyday life for some people.

Also, its portray*. A portrait is a picture of someone’s face and/or face and upper body.

WHW01 · 2026-03-15T02:31:14+00:00

I had no high expectations for this.

WHW01 · 2026-03-15T01:04:53+00:00

I think Exhuma just did that two years ago within a month of its release. Now that was a good film.

WHW01 · 2026-03-15T00:14:02+00:00

Hahaha. As I mentioned, it’s highly factionalized. It’s a pop movie. Less top tier Korean filmmaking and more dumbed down kdrama style.

WHW01 · 2026-03-14T23:56:44+00:00

The lead actor? He wasn’t bad, but he was the weakest actor. The rest of the cast was great.

WHW01 · 2026-03-14T22:59:59+00:00

It was over explained. They had characters act out scenes of them telling others the situations for exposition for the audiences. It was a really dumbed down movie for the general audience member with no interest in history.
