은밀하게 위대하게

Did you watch the webtoon '은밀하게 위대하게'?

Movie ' 은밀하게 위대하게' is based on the Webtoon of the same name by Kang Pool, who had a series of hit Webtoons adapted into films. Many people love this webtoon, so movie is also popular now.

 

 

It attracted about 500,000 moviegoers on the day of its release Wednesday, setting a new record for Korean movies. The previous record holder was "The Theives", which sold roughly 430,000 tickets on its first day last year. 

It is expected to continue its good run.

The time taken for the movie to have one million fans was shorter than for "Transformer: Dark of the Moon"!

 

Three spies from the North are dispatched to a small town in South Korea.

One of the group, Won Ryu-han, an elite spy who has survived a brutal competition, takes on his first mission, which is playing an idiot in disguise.

They grow anxious with no news from the North for a long time. Amid escalating tension on the peninsula as well as their concerns of being forgotten and abandoned, they come to mingle with the locals, gradually assimilating into the neighborhood.

But one day, all of sudden, they are ordered to complete an unexpected but significant mission.

What I like in this movie is that it begins with comedy and drama and magically weaves its way cautiously to a full on spy action drama.
Whats so magical about it is its ability to bring you classic Korean slapstick comedy mixed with some clever lines as it lays out a platform to introduce you to all the major players, sucking you into building a relationship with each character.
It seamlessly brings in the drama piece by piece and as the comedy begins to weave out, its replaced by spy drama and brilliant action scenes.

 

Although the plot is centered on the Korean conflict, the film will give a view of heartwarming humanity to you.

So, I love this movie.

I didn't watch the webtoon. After I watche the movie, I decided to watch the webtoon, too!

Actor - Johnny Depp

I believe that everyone know an actor, Johnny Depp. He is one of my favorite acotor, so I will introduce him and his movies to you!

 

Johnny Depp is an American actor, film producer, and musician.

He is considered one of the most unique and versatile actors in Hollywood.
Over the years he has demonstrated an interest in tackling some of the toughest and most controversial characters in cinema.
He has also demonstrated an ability to do this successfully, displaying different sides of himself and attracting the attention of a wide fan base.
You probably know his most famous movies but have you seen all of the best ones?

He has collaborated with director and close friend Tim Burton prolifically in films such as Edward Scissorhands, Ed Wood, Sleepy Hollow, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Corpse Bride, and Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.
Depp has also garnered acclaim for his portrayals of real life figures such as Edward Wood Jr., Joseph Pistone and George Jung.

Depp is widely known for his avoidance of the Hollywood celebrity scene despite his high profile A-list status and chooses to live in France with his partner, French singer and actress Vanessa Paradis when not filming.

From now on, I will introduce several his movies that I want to recommend~

 

- The Pirates of the Caribbean Movies

Johnny Depp plays Jack Sparrow in these films and there is no doubt that these popular movies would not have been the same if someone else had played this role.
This is the peak of his career in the sense that he’s able to bring all of the experience he gained in the past to the character and to create someone who is entertaining and interesting and unique for viewers to watch across an entire series of movies.

 

- Sleepy Hollow

It’s one of the most interesting ones.
And it did win an Oscar so it definitely got some attention at the time that it was releaed.
Depp is really great at paying unusual characters who have something of a dark side to them which makes him a really great Ichabod Crane in this classic story.
Interestingly, this is another Depp film in which he plays a crime investigator.

 

 - Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

It is really difficult to conceive of a remake of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory that could do the original movie justice.
The characters in that film were just too unique.
However, if anyone could pull off playing a new Willy Wonka it was Johnny Depp.
He is the kind of strong actor who is able to really bring his own voice and persona to any part even one that is so well-known as being played by another character.
The film didn’t quite stand up to the quality of the original but Depp did a good job with his role in it.

 

- Edward Scissorhands

Everyone that I know has this movie on their list of favorite movies because it’s such a unique and interesting twist on the traditional love story.
Johnny Depp plays the monstrous character in love and what we see throughout the movie is his struggle to fit into society despite his differences from the people there.

 

- Blow

This is one of the greatest movies that Depp was ever a part of and this time he plays a role on the other side of crime.
What’s interesting is that we get to see the entire background of what made him who he is and how he struggles with that in spite of his motivation to continue on in this line of business.
Depp portrays this well and the movie succeeds as a result.

 

On August, The lone rager is set to release. It is an upcoming 2013 American action adventure western comedy film. It is based on the American ole west character. Star Armie Hammer in the title role and Johnny Depp as Tonto. I am looking forward to watching this movie~

Johnny Depp is great at playing these really wild characters in different films. That’s what his forte is.

For that reason, I really like his acting. 

스타트렉 다크니스 (Star Trek Into Darkness)

  

 

Do you like science fiction acton flims?

It is one of my favavorite genre!

Star Trek Into Darkness is a American science fiction action film.

It is twelfth movie in the Star Trek series.

 

 

 

When the crew of the Enterprise return back to home, they find an unstoppable force of terror from within their own organizaion, leaving our world in a state of crisis. With a personal score to settle, Captain Kirk leads a manhunt to a war-zone world to capture a one man weapon of mass destruction.

 

 

 

 

I think Star Trek Into Darkness isn't just a great movie, but also a great addition to the Star Trek franchise. Very well done I thought! Fun to watch and keeps you excited for what is next.
Especially, I recommend 3D. Along with stunning visuals and somewhat suitable 3D, I experienced brilliant acting from all the cast and a brilliant performance.

Whether you are a new Star Trek fan or an original fan, there is plenty for everyone in this film. Great action and interaction between the characters and plenty of references to the original series and original Khan movie. Since I don't remember much of the first film, so I cannot really compare. But I am sure that this sequel is certainly up there with all the other great films in the franchise.
 

I want to say one more time : Watch 3D or 4D!
It is very very nice!

위대한 개츠비 (The Great Gatsby)

Have you ever read 'The Great Gatsby' ?

I remember that I read it when I was high school student.

If you like the book, you'll like the movie. It encompasses everything that makes the novel great.

This movie was absolutely great, mainly for its screenplay and it staying true to the Gatsby storyline.

It is a very beautiful story and well told through miraculous cinematography, some visuals and fantastic acting.

Leonardo DiCaprio is the heart and soul of the movie. I think he's just such a tremendous actor. There are also other great actors such as Joel Edgerton, Carey Mulligan and even Tobey Maguire.

The cinematography is definitely one of the things that impressed me the most. I think cinematographer really knows how to not only get great shots, but take you through the world of Jay Gatsby himself. The music though was stunning and fit the mood 

I think it's a beautifully crafted story of drama and romance

Overall, if you have read, or not read the book, you should absolutely see this ^^~
