The last film that I saw


The last film that I saw, was "Kwal" (The bow) by the Korean director Kim Ki Duk. It's a film from 2005 and like others movies of the same director, it's really a work of art. The film takes place on a ship, in the middle of the ocean, where an old man lives with a 16 year old girl, and he plans to marry her, when she turns 17. The old men has a bow, with which he makes an musical instrument and at the same time uses it like a weapon to protect the girl of the harassments of other men. One characteristic of this director is the use of gestures, more than of dialogues, and the special election of the background music, that in this one film, is traditional Korean music. The end of this film, is very surprising but I prefer not to say it, for not kill the magic. I recommend it!
