It may be an error of translation, but in the version I watched, Maria speculates that it was people who owed <i>Petur</i> money. I agree it was quite mysterious, but it's not a film that ties up everything neatly.
I completely understand, since it is also fading from my memory, but I seem to recall that the cop had victimised the fellow who broke into his house years ago, when the interloper was just a lad.
It might be a challenge for the one who walked down the road to find alternative transportation: it looked like they were in the middle of nowhere. Perhaps not a compelling reason when weighed against all the trouble they got into, but it might have carried some weight in the heat of the moment.
No way to know in advance, but it wouldn't have to be through the press. It would be enough for their spouses to get wind that they are wanted for questioning about an accident far from their homes and even farther from Paris.
I thought their concern wasn't prosecution, but the harm it would do to their respective marriages if it became known that they were having an affair.
Even if you have, that's only grounds for an educated guess; not everyone responds the same way to the same stressors.
I'm with Renovatio: I think her andrenaline kicked in and helped her flee.
You're sure he would have identified Alec after seeing his face? How recently had he last seen him?
The question is whether they could have been better off in another line of work.
I would have expected the hacker to get into hot water for that deception.
I thought the pace became quite fast after the protagonist left the police station.
I donno if you would call it "killed" but I thought he fell off a ledge.
People responding to this seem to converge on a few titles which I think are okay but hardly the best of Korean cinema. I don't have anything like a definitive list but I'll mention a few that I think are better than most of those listed.
- The Evil Twin
- The King and the Clown
- Sea Fog
- Whispering Corridors
- My Heart
- Cello
- Eungyo
- I Saw the Devil
In particular, I'm surprised to see only a couple of Kim Ki-Duk titles mentioned... and not necessarily his best. I would add definitely add Pietá and The Bow.
Why do you group JSA with Oldboy and Lady Vengeance?
That's just what one of the lead actors described the film as being about.
Thanks. I'd never heard Atlanta mentioned as a hotbed of cinematography. Is it common for films to premiere there?
I don't think those are mutually exclusive: she apparently was lying about some major details but could still have have been a crime victim. Tom could very well have been lying when he told Jean he was "an asshole but not a kidnapper." From what I could make out, Allison was lying bound in the back seat of his vehicle.
You're right, there was more than one party with an unethical agenda willing to ride roughshod over Jewell.
I don't know if aborigines were a minority in Australia at the time but of course you're right about the not very subtle message.
I wonder what would happen if somebody made a film about a saintly Caucasian martyred by evil blacks?
The ambitious press? I thought it was on the danger and motivations of the government to scapegoat somebody. The press was just riding on their coattails.
Thank you. I had no idea mustard would be so caustic!
