now that i have see it and it be not what i be expect and at least not until the very end . i read some of the other review before pick up a used copy of this from amazon and be glad i do . have be first introduce to park work via oldboy and i be curious to how he would treat the genre and be rather pleased at the clever manner in which he execute it . i think park have mature in term of presentation because while oldboy and some of his other work have very nice and deliberate camera work and he have some nice innovation in bakjwi that i have not see in other vamp movie . for example the scene where father hyeon be realize the beast grow within him a he give his shoe to the always barefoot tae ju and he be able to see the blood pump through tae ju skin and his eye widen in blood lust for it . that be a nice effect . i be also happy that park do not cg the crap out of the movie and the be in fact very little cg at all . i come away from bakjwi be totally set up to think one thing be go to happen and get take for a ride in true park fashion . additionally and i like that park play with a little symbolism and reversal whereas we do not usually get this be asia cinema . during the beginning of the movie we see the plot develop slowly and get to know the character and you feel like an invisible observer to the thing that be transpire . park treat you a little like ghost of christmas future come to show you and albeit a bit boringly and what life be like outside your world . ah and but then we start to feel a little kinship with the befallen father and his burgeoning lust for tae ju and conflict with duty a a priest . we almost start to root for them even until park not so nicely slap u back into reality and we really see that in the end bakjwi be a movie about moral dilemma and right and wrong . it would not spoil it if i tell you to watch bakjwi from the mindset of a priest and i think you will come away from it with what park want you to come away with . don not expect oldboy and stylization because that not what you will get here . a very interesting take on the genre indeed . those who miss the many literary element and religious allusion watch some other movie and not bakjwi . after bakjwi and watch let the right one in and it also not what you will expect either .
