![]() Specially the last scene with him on the beach. The film got better at the end and when the bad guy changed it was really moving and believable. However, the film was still very interesting to watch and all this historical Korean world was beautifully shot. ![]() And the whole lot of other characters, both men and women, looked and acted in such a similar way that it took me some time to distinct them from each other. Overall, the Korean protagonists were no match to John Malkovich and Glenn Close. As to the others they slightly lacked detail and depth. This was an incredibly strong performance and I liked it more then Pfeffer's approach. The only acting work that stood out stronger then Frears'is characters, was the lady who played the virtous Madam Sook (Michelle Pfeiffer's character in Frears'is version). Still, I think that Frears'is film is way stronger. I think it was a good and intense film and the historical Korean scenery added a lot. Korean films that I have seen that far are very interesting, they have quite a different approach then Western movie makers. I absolutely adore the version directed by Stephen Frears (starring Malkovich and Glose) so i was very interested what Koreans had made out of it.
