Watch Bad Guy For Free

Waste of time

Sick Product of a Sick System

Good start, but then it gets ruined

Admirable film.

Kim Ki-duk's "Bad Guy" brings the viewer to a world of violence, jealousy, unfulfilled desires and silly mistakes that gets undone under repetition, tonal shifts and a running time that goes a little bit for too long.Sun-hwa is waiting for her boyfriend when she attracts the attention of Han-ki. Han-ki, who doesn't seem to care too much for others' opinions, decides to kiss her in front of everyone, including the boyfriend. Some soldiers that are passing by reward him with a beating. But the story of Sun-hwa and Han-ki is not over, and when she makes a mistake, Sun-hwa falls into the hands of Han-ki and his group, which will force her into a life of prostitution.If you have seen any of Kim Ki-duk's movies you will already know his love for silences, the problems of communication, the gender relationships (including the more carnal side) in South Korea and other stuff. And "Bad Guy" has a little bit of everything. Sadly, all these interesting observations fall into a plot which suffers from bad pace, little originality and two characters who are little developed (you can see their arc development from moment one). Which is a pity, because the acting is good (even if Han-ki's constant mutism is overdone). As a look into the darkness we all have within ourselves, it is interesting enough. But it cannot overcome its shortcomings, Kim Ki- duk overplaying his cards this time.

There's very little form of representation I'd like more than movies. I saw 'Bad Guy' by chance a few years ago. I had never heard of Kim Ki-Duk before,but just by watching few seconds into the film I started to think to myself – this film is real magic – And it is a real incantation every time I see it now. I enjoy movies, because they are a personal vision of a life through the eyes of an oneself, as in a mirror, which is a kind of an image of the one looking. If you are concerned with knowing, thinking and intend to know yourself, you look into this 'mirror' and it gives you an insight in how to measure yourself; dipped in dark, in an imminent move out, ready for take-off, like on a plane, for somewhere. Thank you Kim Ki-Duk.

This film started off fantastic. It explained in full detail how this poor art student, had her life stripped away from her. Every demoralising act that the girl suffered, the watcher suffered too. Very few films strike this kind of emotional response. I feel that this was partly due to the complete lack of humorous moments to lighten the mood, that you find in so many movies (to make sure that the audience remembers its a movie and to not get too upset).However it is in this viewers opinion, that the film finished as if they had no idea on how they could end it differently. It was as if they took this idea to a financier and he/she gave them the money, but not enough time.I understand that the girl found her capture to be the last remaining tie to her previous existence. Though it was completely overplayed.The fight with the brick, the stabbing with the glass, the prison sequence, her freedom.In short, brilliant concept - with an ending like a glass of week old coke.

Due to boredom one night and the encouragement of having watched a string of quite interesting though often unusual Korean films i found myself a fan of Korean entertainment. Until i came across this, Lets start with the plot Basically you have a perhaps bright college student with a potential future, a "Bad boy" in all sense of the word...literally, and a brothel. The young girl unfortunately for her steals some money from a man (Which turns out to be a setup by the main character" and is forced to pay it off, Not by getting a loan from the bank, family, friends like a normal woman, but by prostitution.Hence beginning a "tale of life at the brothel". Basically, the skeleton of the film from here on end is this, She gets raped, over and over, and over, tries to escape the brothel, The "Main Character" catches her, brings her back to the brothel so she can get raped some more by random horny guys, while he watches from the other side of a glass, Why? heres the twist - He's in love with her, and telling her simply wouldn't have done.As the film literally drags on, with the constant pounding of the girls miseries it gets to the point where when he gets into a fight, or gets stabbed, which as it turns out he does, you smile and think to yourself "Finally it ends! he got what he deserved in the end, Go Karma", sadly yet humorously He stands up, and shrugs it off, literally just walking away with no medical assistance what so ever.He's fairytale reality does not end there, he somehow as a crown to all he's crimes, and violent nature ends up getting the girl whose life he inherently destroys throughout the length of the movie to reprocate he's love, and so concluding this "Reality of how life in the directors underworld is like" they walk of into the sunset.From this fiasco of an imitation of life in an "Underworld society" we learn that If you want a woman to love you, fellows flowers and candy simply won't do.I had to watch Daisy, to get the bad taste of this film out of my mind. It's sad to see a film like this get rated higher than a 3.1, for the only truth; If the Male leads character depicted in the movie was in fact brought before the public in a real life scenario, we'd gather our pitch forks, and throw him to the jury yelling the sweet sounds of life imprisonment. Yet he's portrayed behind the lens of a camera and suddenly,...He's simply misunderstood.
