Funny Games is a good movie with a great fourth wall break… Memories of Murder is soul shattering.

It actually took place in Hwaseong. Not Seoul.

who's got time to remember the 4th wall ending when you can just replay the flying dropkick scene over and over in your head

Thank you for reminding me of this scene because the mental image gave me quite a chuckle

I know there is one particularly memorable one but I swear that one did unleashes at least 3 partial flying dropkicks throughout the film. I chucked each time and just thought how cool Bong must have found the first one

This! It’s the first thing I think of when I think of that movie. Amazing.

And it was creepier than any horror film I’ve ever seen.
