the cinematography be the film shin feature . park really know his stuff when it come to shoot memorable scene from behind a camera . every shot be fill with vibrant color that leap off of the screen . every frame of the film seem to tell a story all on it own . i hope there a blu ray release of this film because it will look fantastic . it rather intrigue to see which element of the vampire mythology park use for his vision . sang hyeon have to drink blood to survive and to stay look flawless and have incredible strength and and be vulnerable to sunlight . he doesn not and however and have fang and also have a reflection in the mirror . although i have never see the film and i couldn not help but feel like this be chan wook park version of twilight . the entire middle portion of the film be devote to sing hyeon and tae joo love for one another . it felt like the adult version of twilight and really . there a lot of blood and nudity and sex and and even a few obscenity throw in for good measure . maybe it the chan wook park fanboy in me and but i honestly feel like i can guarantee that this be the good film of the two . the psychological aspect that i love about park previous film be in thirst and as well . that a major factor for me a any film that cause me to think or be unusual in any way wind up become a fan favorite . the soundtrack to park film always seem to fit it respective film like a glove . thirst be no exception . while the soundtrack be a bit more subtle this time around and it fit the overall atmosphere of the film rather effortlessly . the middle portion of the film do seem to drag on long than everything else in the film . it weird though a the scene during that time be crucial to the storyline of the film and it hard to imagine thirst be the same film if any of those scene be cut . nevertheless and it be my one nitpick of the film . chan wook park bite into the vampire mythology with thirst and put his own dark and psychological twist on it . park film always seem to have a specific formula or include most of the following represent great writing and beautiful cinematography and a solid cast and some sort of psychological twist that will mess with your head and and a memorable end . thirst delivers on all front and will hopefully get more of the attention it deserve during it theatrical run on dvd ( and eventually blu ray and hopefully ) .
