Is the whole mistrust-thing also tied to how the police in south korean movies are almost always portrayed as incompetent in one way or another?

e: Like, it might just be me overreaching a simple plot to keep it intereseting or whatever, but it just seems like too big of a trend.

South Korea was a military dictatorship as recently as the 80's, so you could imagine some artists chafing at the idea of powerful authority figures.

I need to see Pieta but I don't know if I'm ready for a Kim Ki-Duk movie right now.

I noticed just now that one of Ki-duk Kim's newer films Moebius is up there, anyone seen that? He can be difficult to get into from what I've seen of his movies.

Yeah! I saw it and liked it a lot. Very dark and very funny. After a while, you don't notice that there is no spoken dialog at all in the film.

I've always wondered what the deal was there and why South Koreans are absolutely obsessed with plastic surgery.

Yo this was cute but it's hella sad too.

I need to watch more Kim Ki-Duk though, really liked Time and 3-Iron.

Pieta and Moebius are really awesome.

Yeah, I really need to go back and watch all of Kim Ki-Duk's films. He's the one SK director I feel the most affinity for.
