An Exercise In Nonsense
There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.
Marriage Is A Crazy Thing is a film that talks about how love conquers all in the most unusual situations. Society in Korea deems that marriage must be complete before age 30. Marry a man, and make love with another! Joon-young gets a blind date for being the best man at a friend's wedding. He's a charming and smart college lecturer who believes in free sex. Yon-hee is a daring and sexy lighting designer. Through a long relay of superficial questions, they get drunk. They figured it'd be cheaper to get a motel room than to get a cab.They go all the way. They both expected different things from each other. Yon-hee wanted to marry a well-to-do doctor and keep Joon-young on the side for sex. Will she be successful? The movie is about two people that met on a blind date that never want to admit that each has already fallen in love with each other after spending a one-night stand. Or in other words, it is about two people who don't want to take their relationship to the next level after being engaged in a fling. I think that a better title for this film is Love Is A Crazy Thing. The acting was great. Kam Wu-Sung,who plays an English professor, shows that he does not need to over-act to sympathize with his character. While Eum Jung-Hwa,the adulteress, never disappoints as well. The film started slow but the two lead characters were able make it interesting. This film is another reason why Koreans will always be considered as one of the most creative when it comes to world cinema.Highly recommended and it deserves an excellent rating for me.
Marriage is a Crazy Thing is a fantastic twist on the classic love story.Jun-young (Kam Woo-seong) is a man in his early thirties who has seen his friends and younger brother get married but has yet to open himself to a serious relationship. Rather he is happy floating through life with little direction or ambition.Yeon-hee (Eom Jeong-hwa) is girl approaching thirty who is desperate to find a suitable husband, but is looking for a match based on social and economic suitability rather than love.They meet on a blind date and quickly find that they are incompatible intellectually, but have an instant physical and emotional connection. Both are extremely practically minded, and as such decide to explore each other by starting a casual physical relationship, while she continues looking for more suitable husband and he avoids commitment.This is a very modern tale, which is romantic, dramatic, smart, sexy and realistic. Turning the romance genre on it's head, and showing what dating is really like for modern thirty-somethings, who have emotional baggage, preconceived ideals and expectations, and too much self-interest to open themselves up to the possibility of a deeper kind of love.Brilliantly written, excellently performed, smartly directed. If you think that Marriage really is a Crazy Thing then you will more than likely find a lot to love within this film.
When I fist read the plot, I though it was going to be one of those twisted Hollywood sexual social dramas but with an Asian touch to it. I was pleasantly surprised to find that I was indeed wrong.This movie has some wild scenes but they don't seem incongruent or raunchy. They blend in with the social circumstances and with the personalities of the characters. The plot outlines the lives of two individuals who don't relish the idea of marriage which is, for lack of a better word, imperative for social harmony according to the Korean society. They however get along very well since they share amongst other things, a desire for closure and personal comfort.The movie is very well directed with full credit going to its impeccable screenplay. The acting is fabulous with both the lead actor and actress doing a splendid job.Overall, I would give this a 9/10 Thank you
I have to comment that this movie is different from the typical asian romance. For one thing, the sex scene was very explicit but tasteful that it fit the story just right. The acting and story line are touching and true to life of the scenario of "I hate you", "I love you" relationship.
