a5c7b9f00b Set years ago in the era of the Joseon Dynasty, the story follows a young police officer named Namsoon (Ha Ji-won) who, along with her fellow officers, discovers a counterfeit ring operating out of the area they&#39;ve been assigned to protect. However,the criminals aren&#39;t just printing up their own money, they also plan to use it to topple the economy and take down the government. As her investigative work continues, Namsoon soon makes the acquaintance of a young man known onlySad Eyes (Gang Dong-won), for the way that he looks out at you from underneath his hair - he doesn&#39;t say much, but he&#39;s got that look and that&#39;s all it takes to pique Namsoon&#39;s interest in him, even if she shouldn&#39;t be thinking those thoughts about someone she might have to toss in jail. Of course, Namsoon can&#39;t deny her feelings even if the object of her affection belongs behind bars, and it&#39;s not long before she&#39;s starting to act on her emotions. 3 axioms:<br/><br/>1. Cinema in its history has a special moment during the &#39;past 5 plus next 5 years&#39; decade. Genre-art film and feature-documentary film categorization confuses and brings us hybrid products. In these circumstances experimental way may give best results. 2. Korea is a passage between China and Japan. Far East Asia Metaphysics culturally followed the same way. Today there is a new moment. War choreographed and kitsch accepted movies of Japan and China is recomposed by Korea. This is an experimental way. 3. Directors (genre or auteur) may not have historical consciousness (Hegelian indifference), ie may not know what they do.<br/><br/>3 interpretations:<br/><br/>1. Tango is firstly used in a kung-fu film, but not in butoh (Japanese modern dance). Tango is a novum elementmusic,action, andthought. It strangely conjugates with Far East Asia Metaphysics of body (ie war, sex, cure, pray, and dance together). An experimental step, but strictly match in this film. 2. To watch the war of a man and a woman may bring orgasm to a man or a woman. This is natural and normal. But this war may not will end till even after post-humanism. This film shows it. 3. Form and concept may not be synthesized or praxisized, but may still give us a novum film. This is such an example. But the director may not know it or wants to do it. This movie was unique I&#39;ll give it that much. For me however it wasn&#39;t in a good way. For the first 20 minutes I was left scratching my head about what was happening and when I finally did catch on to the plot I was already too far gone to really care.<br/><br/>As I said the movie was unique, mainly to do with the way things were shot howeverI said, I wasn&#39;t really a big fan of it. In the end the movie was a big miss for me.
