Choi Min-Sik is phenomenal


What an amazing actor he is! I really liked his portrayal of the tortured artist Jang Seung-up in this movie. He made me laugh a couple of times too. Especially the scene where he tries to do a handstand against the wall.

Just after seeing Oldboy, Failan and Chihwaseon i'm already becoming a huge fan. I can't wait to get my "Happy End" and "Shiri" dvds in the mail.

I know i'm not the only fan. :)

I totally agree with you!

Indeed.

Crying Fist is another good movie of his if you like boxing.

reply

Try spotting him in Brotherhood of War. Short but compelling performance.

reply

Oh my!

Where was he in Brotherhood of War? I watched the movie but I didn't even know...

reply

He was the North Korean officer who put up a fight against Jang Dong-gun`s character.

Hi

Totally agree, what an amazing talent.

Regarding the handstand, I expect that was his improv, if you watch the DVD of Oldboy there is more of him in the police station at the start, and all of it is improv (and bloody funny).

His role and performance in Shiri are very good as well, haven't seen Happy End yet.

He was great as usual and The film is superb, there are some Tarkovsky's Andrei Rubylev brillance in it ! Great work ! And it's good to see Min Sik and Son-ye in the same movie !

reply

Get Quiet Family and Crying Fist. He's awesome in both. Quiet Family is important as it's an early part before his later fame. Same for the director at the time.

reply

Yes, he was absolutely amazing in this role. But just one of the many reasons I love and admire this film so much!

Gorgeous piece of art!
