Stateless Things (2012)

This movie just confused me. I really find it funny how the one who's watching doesn't even get to know the characters' names for the first hour. But no wonder, when they are talking that barely.
So, I didn't really get the story or the ending. And I also think, the only time background music played was when the one guy was dancing....
The acting/cast got 8.5/10 because I liked the acting and also because the only reason my friend and I watched this was because of the one good looking prostitute, lol.
All in all was the only scene I enjoyed the one where this guy and his Sugardaddy were making out.

I warned you!:D

I watched this on AsianCrush and maybe the version on there is just badly edited but I genuinely had no idea what was happening the whole time. For more than half the movie I thought the guy paying for the apartment was the kid's dad. At one point the girl just kind of disappears and I never got a good ending for her. It seemed like the North Korean boy had gone to the apartment to clean it or something and the other guy was there then they just like made the decision to live together. I didn't see any of the like talking online or whatever. Why did they decide to commit suicide together and then one choked the other out but at the end they both leave the smoke filled room alive. Like I thought they wanted to commit suicide? I'm so so so confused. If someone could clarify this for me that would be awesome.

Very strange movie

Even now I can't recover from it ... the film raises so many questions and the viewer has many feelings and thinks about it ... The film is definitely not for everyone (many will definitely condemn it, on the contrary, I appreciate almost every film that touches of our otherness), but even though he is Asian, this time he is neither naive nor affected as an actor... STORY: in the first third of the plight of a boy who escaped from the dictatorial north and a girl originally from China, but of Korean origin, who are afraid return deportations, the second third completely different with no connection to the first - a young boy and a rich businessman and the third third - the fates of both boys intersect and ... ACTING PERFORMANCE: excellent, especially for all three male roles (I evaluate from an Asian point of view) SOUND: average , there is less musical component of undertones, apparently on purpose PROCESSING: refined, irritating, may even annoy many viewers (sometimes lengthy, out of focus, sometimes grainy, hand-held camera) OVERALL IMPRESSION: I am torn (disappointed by the end of the story, moved by the fate of the North Korean - after all, Jun could to defend at the end, but apparently he already gave up, I am surprised by the "beauty" of the rich businessman - in the love scene it is often hard to tell who is "young" and who is "old", he looks physically good), but overall a positive impression prevails, but at the same time and thoughts about the fate of thousands of such people in the south of the Korean peninsula.
