What makes it different from others?
Beautiful, moving film.
It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.
To be honest I first found about this movie at my local video store. I immediately bought this amazing movie and watched throughout the whole day. To be honest this is an excellent and compelling movie. This movie is so good. I love the motorcycle scenes and how its shot very well. The fight scenes a very stylish and very well done also. I love the motorcycle scenes in piticular because its shows one shot of our main character feeling sad or angry. The story is spot on too and I like how this movie is very unique in its own way. The leads in this movie played by actor Jung woo sung and actress ko so young do their performances very good and I like who Jung woo sung brings out the emotion to his character and you feel for him also. The scene where he runs away from home and rides his motorcycle is very compelling and very sad too. All in all I would highly recommend this movie to anyone at the fullest. I love this one shot where he just sits on his motorcycle and starts feeling sad because of what he's going through. Also this actor Jung woo sung looks very much like Tom cruise and is basically the Korean Tom cruise of Korea. Enjoy the movie.
I found this movie engaging. It's one of those movies I could watch a few timesIt's the story of Min and his friends Tae Soo, Whan and Romy. Min and Tae Soo are best friends and their world consists of fun and violence. Min's mother decides she wants Min to further his education and decides to have Min transferred to another school. In the new school Min meets Whan and in an unexpected way they become friends.Romy is introduced to Min in another unexpected way and she becomes the love interest.The movie follows their relationships and consequences of their choices. I myself believe it is a story that is plausible and shows the pressures upon, and avenues available to, young people. Beat has a message and should be seen.
I enjoyed this movie. Everything in this movie was good. The cinematography, which seems influenced by Wong Kar Wai, was beautiful and action scenes were very cool. Woo-Sung Jung performs a charismatic but naive loner very well. I'm sure girls went crazy while seeing this movie. Chang-Jung Lim's funny and realistic performance makes this film less dark and more delightful. This film is based on a famous comic book in Korea with a different ending. To me, the film seems more cartoonish, doesn't mean the film is bad.
Sung-su Kim did an awesome job directing one of Young-man Huh's comic books. Wu-sung Jung did a great job as a disadvantaged rebel. the photography was really similar to Kar-wai Wong's 1995 DUOLUO TIANSHI. if you're a fan of Young-man Huh's comic books, you'll really enjoy this movie. I wish more directors would adapt screenplay from Young-man Huh.
