The film certainly hints at something better, a damn shame the studio intervened so heavily.conranphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13799505413464310212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7805792966316850332.post-37031967557291865932011-10-19T22:01:20.970+02:002011-10-19T22:01:20.970+02:00Guess what makes it quite different from usual K-h...Guess what makes it quite different from usual K-horror flicks is the visual work, it's heavily influenced by italian horror masters. The idea to create an atmosphere, to set the perfect tone through the use of colors, reflecting characters' inner troubles, also giving the impression the idol world is some kind of magical weird world (like some sort of Twilight Zone).<br /><br />Now, the film has really been butchered, so few interesting ideas are still there, but they're not properly explored, like the harsh criticism of the music industry and its high/cryptic symbolism - the Kim Bros' touch. And not sure the second part of the film was supposed to be just another uninvolving & shitty horror story.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7805792966316850332.post-38033496401691132662011-10-19T13:16:22.655+02:002011-10-19T13:16:22.655+02:00> "I would love to get my hands on that cu...> "I would love to get my hands on that cut"<br /><br />We too ! ^^Diana et Illich Dillingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08243033610550478935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7805792966316850332.post-5358922599440225902011-10-18T21:39:34.387+02:002011-10-18T21:39:34.387+02:00I had no idea!

The directors seem to have been especially focused on the colours and the design (also noticeable in Anti-gas skin)<br /><br />Did you know that the producers refused a first version of White, for an unknown reason. The directors had to shoot again the entire movie. I suppose they first set a AGS-like feature that has utterly upset the producers !Sans Congohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07719240025506198229noreply@blogger.com
