슈퍼스타 감사용 / Superstar Gam Sa-Yong (2004)(Korean)

“Superstar Gam Sa-yong (Superstar Mr. Gam)’’ is part of a wave of films this sweet and modest story set in the early days of Korean baseball has all the ingredients necessary to be a hit with the whole family. Much like the taekwondo tale “Tollyochagi (Spinkick)’’ that came out earlier this summer, “Superstar’’ tells of underdogs in sports and in life trying to overcome their limitations. The film is based on the true story of Gam Sa-yong (Lee Beom-su), whose five-year record as a professional baseball pitcher was one win and 15 losses. A regular company man with aspirations to be a professional baseball player, Gam’s dreams come true when the Korean Baseball League is founded in 1982 and a team _ the Sammi Superstars, sponsored by Gam’s company, Sammi Steel _ is set up in his hometown of Incheon. Gam takes part in an open tryout held by the Superstars, and contrary to all expectations, ends up making the team. It turns out, however, that Gam was only brought onto the team because they had to have a left-handed pitcher in their lineup, and he ends up spending most of his time on the bench, watching as his hapless team _ the worst in the league by a mile _ chocks up loss after loss. In fact, the only time Gam gets on the mound was in the final innings of a losing game, when the team wanted to rest their “real’’ pitchers and when most of the crowd were already heading towards the exit. Embarrassed to tell his family of the reality of his baseball career, Gam waits for a chance to play in a big game and watches longingly as famous pitchers like OB Bears’ Park Chol-sun (Gong Yu) race towards league records. Despite all the losses faced by the main character,

“Superstar’’ is actually a film full of optimism and hope. The film presents the right combination of sentiment and humor to tell the story of Gam as he fights through the odds to keep his dream alive.

시간 / Time (Shi gan) [2006] (Korean Movie)

To save her relationship, a woman puts herself through extensive plastic surgery.

Prolific author and enfant terrible of Korean cinema Kim Ki-duk plumbs the depths of obsessive love in Time. Kim plays with the craze for plastic surgery that has invaded our lives, as magazines and television shows such as “Extreme Makeover” have streamed together into a nightmare of eternal youth and beauty. Kim’s unpredictable genius takes a fashionable issue to extremes in order to probe the dark, jealous core of a relationship gone wrong.

Attractive Seh-hee (Park Ji-yun) is having problems with her boyfriend, Ji-woo (Ha Jung-woo). After two years, their love has entered a period of weariness. Though faithful to his fiance, Ji-woo eyes other women and, in bed, seems to get excited only at the thought of making love to other partners. Seh-hee can’t cope with the mounting jealousy tainting her life and decides to dramatically change her look - to become a new woman, with whom her boyfriend can again fall in love.

She enters a plastic-surgery clinic and then vanishes for six months - long enough for the scars to heal - leaving Ji-woo hurt and confused by her disappearance. Resurfacing as the new waitress at the coffee shop Ji-woo frequents, Seh-hee - now calling herself See-hee (Sung Hyun-ah) - tries to seduce him. But between them stands the spectre of Ji-woo’s lost girlfriend, with whom he is still very much in love. Jealousy once again creeps into the shaky existence Seh-hee has artificially crafted.

A clean style guides the circular syntax of this extreme tale of love. Set mostly in coffee shops and bars, where the intimacy of a lovers’ discourse is shared by curious clients, Time is steeped in a quiet, disturbing violence that censors feelings and mutilates the soul through body surgery. As if trapped within a meandering, irrational mind, the script follows a complex rhythm that mirrors the obsessive tone of the film and displays once again Kim’s talent for transforming high-concept ideas into incandescent cinema.
