10/10..the best movie in years!! Why is this not in IMDB top 250 list??


I just finished watching the movie and just cannot think of any movie that was this captivating and mesmerizing. This is definitely the best Korean movie ever and the best movie in any language in last few years!!!!
I had seen The Host from this director ..but it was no nothing compared to this one. It will be a major upset if this does not win the Oscars this year for the best foreign film!!
Also why is this movie not in the IMDB top 250 movies list??

Also, learn what the Top 250 is. It's simply the 250 films with the highest average scores after applying the filtering algorithm designed to get rid of some purely manipulative votes. A movie is or isn't on the Top 250 simply because of how much or how little the majority of folks rating films on IMDb liked the film.

You want it to be on the Top 250? Somehow convince enough "regular voters" to rate it a 10. They have to be regular voters so that they're not filtered out by the algorithm, so it won't do for you to do something like create a thousand fake accounts where you rate this film a 10 and all the other films in the Top 250 a 1 over the course of a couple months, and then let those accounts be inactive. That would be filtered out. The algorithm is designed to detect those types of manipulations.

Movie itself is great and cinematografy is excellent.

The reason this movies is far from perfect (for me as a viewer who likes complex stories and whodunnit) is that uses cheap tricks and has that plot hole about girl having garbage man's picture on cell phone. The cheap trick is a set up for the character. You can't make a good story from a character who does not know what he does and hardly remembers anything. It opens a door to unlimited manipulations of audience. For instance, we saw character walk away after the girl throw stone on him and the skipped the killing part.

Well, at least this is far from LYING to audience, like Christopher Nolan does in his films and you all like it. (example, Dark knight, Joker waits on corner street without mask on and ppl in car don't see his make up. Or he has brown hair and no makeup on neck unitl he takes off his mask and he suddenly has greenish hair and white skin,...) I could go on, but thats a topic for something else.

Mother 8/10 for me, because is far from hollywoods movies and has great tone.

Plot hole?

I agree. This movie was perfect-- the story, the directing, the acting, the cinematography, the music. I can't forget it. Every detail was perfectly conceived and delivered. It could've gone awry in many subtle ways but the director is a genius. You are right on.

Best plot twist I have seen in years maybe decades it is comparable to Alfred Hitchcock I never saw it coming and it left me in awe.
