The movie was decent I felt. I agree the movie is probably too long - could have been half an hour shorter. But I liked the tone of the film and it moved at a pace which was alright for me. A lot of Korean films build up their plots and this one did a good job at it - I don't know if you've seen a lot of Asian films (I certainly have) and often the slow build ups and styles of their films is what makes me more attracted to their cinema compared to Hollywood nowadays.
The movie lives up to the hype. It's a masterpiece. If you think this movie was slow than korean films aren't for you. I'm assuming you're into fast pace mainstream movies like twilight. A comparison would be Twilight = Lil Wayne and Thirst = Mozart. Thirst is more like classical music and some people just doesn't like classical music.
well i respect your opinion, but i gotta say thirst is pretty good according to me. the sheer internal conflict of the pastor character is just awesome. on the outside he's a priest, revered by many, but inside he's a vampire, tormented by his own guilt. it's really hard to say who's right and who's wrong, but i just love how the movie sum it up that vampire are not immortal, sooner or later they will die of either loneliness or guilt. that's much more realistic than vampires in twilight.
Hype can be a killer. Also, if you're new to or unfamiliar w/ pace of Asian cinema, then that doesn't help either because they...can be...long winded. Go watch these faster paced Korean films "The Host" "Violent City" "Attack the Gas Station pts. 1 & 2" "The Foul King" .
I'm sorry you guys didn't enjoy the movie. I'm Korean, and you have to know Korean culture to really understand the movie. You guys should watch Memories of Murder or Oldboy. They are Faptastic :)
oh god this is the only park chan wook's movie that ui didnt like, all the movie that he made was awesomeeeeee joint security area, mr vengeance, lady vengeance, and oldboy
At first I hated you guys because I loved Thirst. But you guys are pretty funny. And i'll have to agree, it was a long ass movie with a lot of unnecessary Mahjong scenes. But that's how a lot of Eastern movie are. Sorry. I hope you guys will see Old Boy, maybe you'll like that instead, it's by the same director.
I found the film great and i dont belive it was slow because it has a music backround which made the film more interestic. It's really good film, great direction and i suggest you to rewatch the film on DVD.
I couldn't agree more. I heard so much praise for this movie, and then when It was over I honestly thought something was wrong with me. Like I was the only person on the planet who "didn't get it" or something. Fuck this movie. Oldboy is still good in my book.
o God! there are people who apparently liked the movie! needed to support u cause i see ppl pick on your age! i'm not a adolescent and i didn't like it eather! it's boring as hell!
ha! you guys are complete idiot savants, i saw the review on paranormal activity, and I can clearly see, you have no idea what a good movie is. FUCKING MORONS! you two douche bags have no taste, AND need some much needed education on films. Ya'll probably don't even know who Bella Lugosi is.....stupid kids give stupid opinions and very bad advise.
I've only just heard about this movie (like two days ago) and I love the director and his other films (the Revenge Trilogy?!?!?) so much I ordered it off HMV without hesitation.
I don't mind movies that have a slow build up. Many Asian horror films are like that. I am hoping I won't be let down by you guys, but I am also guessing neither of you are fans of Asian horror, like I am.
I quite enjoyed the movie. I do have to say however that it was not my favorite movie by this director. I enjoyed Old Boy much more, but this movie was great none the less.
meh i only saw the trailer and didnt think it was good feel free to flame me but i agree with these 2 dont even bother crying about an opinion im not into romance movies
I thought that this movie was not the best. I will agree with you Eric, because it would have been better if it was made into a short film. The plot was just dragging. The vampire stuff was good though, very original. 2 1/2 out of 5.
but if i say that i cant eat vegetable because im not excel in understanding the taste of it = i think its an acceptable reasoning compare to everybody has his own opinion
i hear many negative comments b4 seeing this movie....but im prepared to be bored if that so,, im just curious in this movie coz....i like the directors other movies...............but when i've watch it together w/ my mom.......................in the begining...it was decently entertains me but later......it blows my MIND........x10 better than i expected
maybe these 2 likes only underworld thing (beating up stuff sort of things
normally i'd write something insulting to an idiotic review like this, but if Thirst was your first Park Chan-Wook experience then it makes sense that you'd have this reaction.
I recommend you see Oldboy if your looking for something a little more quickly paced, or maybe Lady Vengeance or Joint Security Area if you can't sit through the slowly paced story build-ups. (Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance is also very compelling but would be too 'slow' for people who actually thought that Thirst was slow)
its so sad that 99percent of teenagers(especially americans) think hollywood is the only source of great films. yes they have done some great films in the past but most of their movies(especially recent ones) have bad plots, dull, needs to have sex and violence in every movie, the main guy always needs to survive (often with his girlfriend) and copy many good foreign films (they are recently doing a remake of oldboy..). there are so many good foreign films out there other than hollywood movies
if you guys saw the old boy directed by Chan-wook park, you guys should have known that that director is not aiming for normal, action, typical movies
you need to think deep for his movies
it was not about korean porn, korean talking and korean playing mahjong
it was really about human desire which can lead to extreme
i got something out of this movie, i hopeed you guys did too =[
I respect your opinions... but that doesn't change the fact that you two can go fuck yourselves! Thirst is one of the best vampire movies ever made! Go back to watching the Twilight crap you're used to, assholes!
well. we should get a point of what the movie wanna say!! that's the priest's complication between as a part of the priest who want helps needy and as a vampire who are thirsty of the human blood including needy!! first time he tried drinking only blood transfusion but, because of the girl friend he couldn't drink only it. she wanted living people who would be more fresh. then he chose a death! poor guy!! it could be longer than you thought but i think we can see how the priest is complicating!
Saw it yesterday. One of the better movies I've seen in a while and by no means boring or too long.
It's not a typical vampire movie by any means. I felt that the whole "being a vampire thing" took a backseat through most of the film to the love story and character depiction/development. (basicly what you call sitting around/porn)
Most of the movies plot points could have worked without any vampirism involved and that I feel makes the whole experience more believable.The movie is also very appealing visually.
In short I highly recomend it for everyone to see.
"Korean porn" is no where in hell even close to describing this film. I thought this film was great! Maybe you were expecting some kind of action because it was a vampire movie, but you need to see more of Park Chan Wook's films. Just because there was a lot of talking doesn't mean that the film was bad. He makes some of the most amazingly twisted films that may take a few times watching to understand. But hey, that's just my opinion.
Wow, you guys are retarded, Thirst was excpetionally good. Go back to loving American films then, they only target one chakra, and it's the lower one.
This movie gave me a boner, you guys need to grow up. It was hot.
It gave me a brain boner, or erection if you want to be more grown up about it. Sunny boy. Hey, I totally agreed with your comments about the movie Moon, I loved that movie. But Korean cinema is just so much better than American. John Wook Park is just amazing. He did Thirst..by the way.
I laughed when you said the movie mainly consisted of "Korean people talking" and "Korean porn". If you felt something porn about this movie, I feel so sorry for you.
Considering you'd love Saw 6, (and I watched it today evening and it was F---ING terrible). You're probably the worst movie reviewer I've ever witnessed in internet
he is the worst reviewer on youtube he loves films like hancock,step brothers,final destination 4 and the saw films yet he dislikes thirst he is a fucking idiot
This is so pathetic and narrow-minded ... The fact that you mostly talk about people falling asleep in the theater to prove your point is even worse ... Go watch some easily understandable Hollywood trash, if you don't understand this uniquely brilliant masterpiece.
thirst is a great movie. i dont think you guys liked it because you guys dont understand "art". it was very good = the ironic plot, acting, cinematography etc. another great film by parkchanwoo. not as good as oldboy but this would be 2nd in my list of his films. even though i think vampire movies are lame, this one was great.
whoawhoa so many comments in one hour.. yes you heard me. you guys dont understand art of film at all(the irony, the cinematography, the tragedy.. its a great film). pretty obvious from people who watches g.i.joe and twilight.. just like the general crowd. watch commercial movies, listen to commercial music etc (like a flock of sheep). you are one of them from my point of view. you hate me with a passion? i could say the same thing kid
i just got back from the cinema, didnt like it but not for the same reason as you two. I really enjoyed the dialogues, cinematography and the acting in the film, i thought they were really good but the film didnt make me think. It's not gonna stay in my head afterward, pretty easy to forget i reckon. It was surprisingly un-awkward though since i went to see it with my mum (though she kept saying she was going to throw up, literally) we both agreed that it wasn't a very good film.
I just watched it last night. I agree with your review. It did play quite slowly with some long scenes. I went in expecting another Old boy, which was a bad idea. Oldboy is nearly impossible to top.
i like how you both moan about "korean porn, Korean sitting around talking, Korean standing around talking...", when these films go down as the greatest. Just cause you don't have your bum thrill action scenes throughout doesn't make it a bollocks film.
if you're gonna review films, look at them from a different aspect
This film will NOT go down as the greatest anything, it was pretty damn bad. But hey, keep telling yourself OUR PERSONAL OPINION is wrong if it makes you feel better.
Okay, and that was my personal opinion of your personal opinion. Although, it's safe to say that the majority of comments on here are slating your review. I would've given up defending my opinion if i were you - face it, your review is lame.
you say mind numbing length, pffft i found Twilight to be absolutely mind numbing, 2 hours of nothing fucking happening in that film. Thirst things do happen and characters are explored.
Korean porn, pfft its called erotica, far and away not porn, i didn't see any penetration shots in that film, not porn.
You heard such great things from people who have respect for film and realize the dredge that is Twilight and GI Joe.
you openly admitted in your twilight review that you went to a midnight screening
You basically loose all credibility there, stick to mainstream crappy fake as hell meyerpire love stories cause you know jack all. You admitting to being a twilight fan basically says that to me.
This isn't your typical American action thriller. And you guys don't know wtf you're talking about. Chan-wook park is an amazing director and you just spit on his face? you guys are simple minded people who just go see movies for action.
Ask a film major what they liked about the film, You guys will be surprised. Personally i think you might need some asian culture backgroud to get the most out of the film. What I think you two don't get is that ur lack of insight into other culture is in a strange way very insulting.
There are a lot of reason why u should care, but i'm not saying u should or should not care. I'm saying you will be surprised. AS for your "opinion", this is a common one these days, you are entitled to you own opinion, that does't mean your opinion is worth a dime. I'm saying your opinion is not worth a dime. "good job"?
while some people commenting need to get their panties out of a bunch, i thought this review was the funniest thing i have ever seen. its an opinion! people are so mean. much love <3
considering these are the idiots that found "The Collector" good and somehow found good things to say about "GI Joe" Why dont you fucking idiots stick you your american blockbusters and leave the real talent alone.
What did you expect to see from a fucking Korean director? A bunch of suburbian american highschool kids talking about how amazing Megan Fox is?
Last time I check winning an award at Cannes was a pretty big deal, and Park Chan Wook has done it more than once.
if you guys went to a park chan wook film expecting something short and full of action then you're obviously not familiar with the director. the guy does make long movies yes; but every scene is required in aid of the story and character development. you guys owe it to yourselves to watch all of his films; do your best to listen to the dialogue, look at the shot compositions and appreciate the effort taken to set up and execute them. chan wook is an outstanding director & ur both missing out.
Yeah, douche bags!!! Chan Wook Park is amazing and the movie killed. "Koreans standing around, Korean porn, and Koreans talking" ITS A KOREAN FUCKIN MOVIE!!! What did u expect, then speaking spanish?!
haven't seen the film but yet i'm really looking forward to watching it this week.
I liked Twilight but it was too teenybopper-ish. On the contrary, the trailer of Bakjwi was great. On top of that, this is a Park Chan Wook film! The man is a god! This film even made it to Cannes FF! Chan Wook ssi aja!
I can say right now, that Thirst > Twilight. Asian films are way better than American flicks.
These kids should just stick to the American flicks, films full of action but not much of a plot.
movies review is not MOVIE experience. anyways, Where you two expecting an action(vampire) film? than it wasn't the right film for you guys, try maybe..underworld?
This film like other Park films packs a lot, needs a certain maturity in taste.
OMG! you guys are fucking retarded. You are familiar with those weak ass emotion from American movies, like Twilight, no wonder you don't like Thirst. And btw your movie review sucks huge balls because i don' t see you say anything much about the movie. The only thing i see is that you talk about your opinion about the movie that you can't understand and some stupid shit that not even fucking related to a movie review.
There is no porn in this film, there are sex scenes, filmed to evoke a reaction and progress the story, it's not the point of the story. In addition, these are real actors portraying these characters, their job is not to have sex on film. The way these two idiots put it is what seems like a display of ignorance on their part. It seems they missed half the movie by gazing at members of the audience so who knows how much they understood this film.
I thought it was a wonderful film myself. It certainly didn't seem slow to me, and the ending especially was both deeply touching and darkly funny at the same time, in the inimitable Park ChanWook style. As for these two 'reviewers', it's a couple of teenage boys going to see a vampire movie - what do you expect? They were probably expecting another 'Underworld' type gorefest with goth chicks with fangs making snarling noises.
Its called a plot douchbags. There is such a thing as a horror/drama. Like "let the right one in." Go watch Transformers 2 and fuck your fat friend in the ass. Thirst was a brilliant movie
i went to see Thirst and i thought it last for 3 hours too....there came a point were i was just bored and wanted to walk out of the movie theater.....but it was ok..not a movie i would see again or buy..
It's apparent to me why you guys didn't like the movie. You stupid teenagers with no attention span. I'll bet you can't wait for the next twilight movie.
All the people that just blindly agree with this so called review I'm sure have no concept of what a good film is. Go and watch your Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen to treat your need for a movie that is nothing but mindless destruction. I'll stick to films that are actually able to create characters and situations that mean something.
I'm interested on what other films EricWithNoK you have seen that are not North American. Maybe Asian cinema is just not for you.
but if you hadnt read the book first i think the meadow scene would have been really really confusing, cause one second they seem pissed at each other, the next they are declaring their love for each other... like i know it a movie and they had to cram a lot but shit, they could have had a little more build up to the love like the book did. I personally think they should not have made a movie, but instead i think they should have made a twilight tv series, and every chapter could be an episode.
Out of all the foreign horror films I've watched, anything coming out of Asia is usually pretty good. Sure the plotline is somewhat obscure and things are indeed dragged out, but there are some intense moments. I personally think Japanese horror films tend to be a lot more "scary" than Korean ones, but mainly if you're looking for that whole "WTF WAS THAT?!" factor.
& to the one talkinq about the twiliqht movie . the only thinq that didnt make the movie like absolutely perfect is b/c the director didnt really do many thinqs from the book. but in new mooon i see already they takinq alot of thinqs from the book & puttinq it into the movie.
i never seen the movie ,,,, never even heard of it . but i went to see the trailer ... it looks weird . i was watchinq it like wtf is this ?! soo yeah i quess nobody talked about it b/c it was truly borinq
Most Asian horror movies are composed of long drawn out bouts of talking , with short but intense scenes of actual horror . If you want some good Asian horror try " tale of two sisters ", "silk ",or " visible secrets " . But my friends and I are fanatics for Asian stuff so we might be a bit biased about these . But they are the few memorable ones I can think off the top of my head. They're all psycho/ghost horror flicks , so I dunno if thats your thing . But I liked them
The movie is 133 minutes. Yes, it's long compared to the average film but it is very well paced. I guess you just have be familiar with the work of Park Chan-wook and realize that his films are not action blockbusters. He is simply one of the most creative directors in the world.
I would be interested in what a review of Lust, Caution would sound like. It's even longer and contains sex that was more graphic than in this film.
anyone who liked the twilight film has terrible taste in movies, anyone who liked the Twilight books is awesome. Hopefully New Moon movie wont make me wanna claw my own eyes out.
the twilight movie was good if you were able to keep an open mind. so i loved it. BUT IT SUCKED! ugh ugh ugh. new moon looks WAYYYYYYYY better. i guarantee that it will be good.
i really did try to keep and open mind honest, i came into the movie hopping for the best, really excited actually, cause the book was so fucken crazy good, but my dear sweet jesus, it was so awful, like i promise i wasn't nit picking, i was trying not to compare it to the book and just watch it like any other movie, but even then it was bad, it was just so f'ing corney, i found it hard to sit through, i think they were relying a bit to much on the fact that most ppl would have read the book.
Have you guys ever seen any other Korean or Asian films? Just curious, because really asian cinema is quite different from Hollywood cinema. I think Thirst is amazing, along with Park Chan Wook's other works. I reccomend if you guys havne't watched anything else by him you check out the Vengeance Trilogy. I think they're better than Thirst but come on. It's kinda hard to beat Old Boy huh?
I totally agree with you, Park Chan Wook is amazing, I do understand that korean movies can be more slow than hollywood ones, but really Thirst deserves more credit than this.
"IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MOVIE!!!" Your friend sounds like a mixture of Seth Rogan, and Ray Romano. I agree with all of your movie reviews except for REPO. - REPO is definately the most amazing film, i have ever seen.
I'm not sure that this reviewer watch the same movie as I did. I thought it was excellent and one of the best movies of the year so far. It was not so much about vampires as it was the relationship and dynamics between Tae-joo and Sang-hyun. This movie was possibly not marketed correctly because it's more of a romance/dark comedy than a horror or drama film. And since when did sex scenes become porn?
The movie was decent I felt. I agree the movie is probably too long - could have been half an hour shorter. But I liked the tone of the film and it moved at a pace which was alright for me. A lot of Korean films build up their plots and this one did a good job at it - I don't know if you've seen a lot of Asian films (I certainly have) and often the slow build ups and styles of their films is what makes me more attracted to their cinema compared to Hollywood nowadays.

Thirst isn't terrible. Its one of the best vampire films around, but its definitely not one of Park Chan-Wook's best films.
Having said that, its hard to live up to the amazing Oldboy which is like no other movie, its in a league of its own.
But yeah, its not terrible and its made well, it is just a bit dull and the sex scene DRAGGED on!

You are so wrong! This movie was one of the best vampire movies I've ever seen. The girlfriend rules.
pineapplecircus 2 years ago 5
well. we should get a point of what the movie wanna say!! that's the priest's complication between as a part of the priest who want helps needy and as a vampire who are thirsty of the human blood including needy!! first time he tried drinking only blood transfusion but, because of the girl friend he couldn't drink only it. she wanted living people who would be more fresh. then he chose a death! poor guy!! it could be longer than you thought but i think we can see how the priest is complicating!

Really? I felt that the only problem with the movie was that it was a bit rushed at parts. Anyway I thought it was the best movie of the year.
martyrofevil 2 years ago 3
Saw it yesterday. One of the better movies I've seen in a while and by no means boring or too long.
It's not a typical vampire movie by any means. I felt that the whole "being a vampire thing" took a backseat through most of the film to the love story and character depiction/development. (basicly what you call sitting around/porn)
DiabloDF85 2 years ago 4
Most of the movies plot points could have worked without any vampirism involved and that I feel makes the whole experience more believable.The movie is also very appealing visually.
In short I highly recomend it for everyone to see.

"Korean porn" is no where in hell even close to describing this film. I thought this film was great! Maybe you were expecting some kind of action because it was a vampire movie, but you need to see more of Park Chan Wook's films. Just because there was a lot of talking doesn't mean that the film was bad. He makes some of the most amazingly twisted films that may take a few times watching to understand. But hey, that's just my opinion.

thirst is a great movie. i dont think you guys liked it because you guys dont understand "art". it was very good = the ironic plot, acting, cinematography etc. another great film by parkchanwoo. not as good as oldboy but this would be 2nd in my list of his films. even though i think vampire movies are lame, this one was great.

i just got back from the cinema, didnt like it but not for the same reason as you two. I really enjoyed the dialogues, cinematography and the acting in the film, i thought they were really good but the film didnt make me think. It's not gonna stay in my head afterward, pretty easy to forget i reckon. It was surprisingly un-awkward though since i went to see it with my mum (though she kept saying she was going to throw up, literally) we both agreed that it wasn't a very good film.

i like how you both moan about "korean porn, Korean sitting around talking, Korean standing around talking...", when these films go down as the greatest. Just cause you don't have your bum thrill action scenes throughout doesn't make it a bollocks film.

StealthSneak28 2 years ago
Lets go over this review
you say mind numbing length, pffft i found Twilight to be absolutely mind numbing, 2 hours of nothing fucking happening in that film. Thirst things do happen and characters are explored.
Korean porn, pfft its called erotica, far and away not porn, i didn't see any penetration shots in that film, not porn.
You heard such great things from people who have respect for film and realize the dredge that is Twilight and GI Joe.
In short stick to Hot Topic douches
danmann861 2 years ago 4
So wait a minute you openly liked twilight
you openly admitted in your twilight review that you went to a midnight screening
You basically loose all credibility there, stick to mainstream crappy fake as hell meyerpire love stories cause you know jack all. You admitting to being a twilight fan basically says that to me.

Ask a film major what they liked about the film, You guys will be surprised. Personally i think you might need some asian culture backgroud to get the most out of the film. What I think you two don't get is that ur lack of insight into other culture is in a strange way very insulting.

if you guys went to a park chan wook film expecting something short and full of action then you're obviously not familiar with the director. the guy does make long movies yes; but every scene is required in aid of the story and character development. you guys owe it to yourselves to watch all of his films; do your best to listen to the dialogue, look at the shot compositions and appreciate the effort taken to set up and execute them. chan wook is an outstanding director & ur both missing out.

I liked Twilight but it was too teenybopper-ish. On the contrary, the trailer of Bakjwi was great. On top of that, this is a Park Chan Wook film! The man is a god! This film even made it to Cannes FF! Chan Wook ssi aja!
I can say right now, that Thirst > Twilight. Asian films are way better than American flicks.
These kids should just stick to the American flicks, films full of action but not much of a plot.

There is no porn in this film, there are sex scenes, filmed to evoke a reaction and progress the story, it's not the point of the story. In addition, these are real actors portraying these characters, their job is not to have sex on film. The way these two idiots put it is what seems like a display of ignorance on their part. It seems they missed half the movie by gazing at members of the audience so who knows how much they understood this film.
GarbageMan191 2 years ago 8
I thought it was a wonderful film myself. It certainly didn't seem slow to me, and the ending especially was both deeply touching and darkly funny at the same time, in the inimitable Park ChanWook style. As for these two 'reviewers', it's a couple of teenage boys going to see a vampire movie - what do you expect? They were probably expecting another 'Underworld' type gorefest with goth chicks with fangs making snarling noises.

but if you hadnt read the book first i think the meadow scene would have been really really confusing, cause one second they seem pissed at each other, the next they are declaring their love for each other... like i know it a movie and they had to cram a lot but shit, they could have had a little more build up to the love like the book did. I personally think they should not have made a movie, but instead i think they should have made a twilight tv series, and every chapter could be an episode.

Out of all the foreign horror films I've watched, anything coming out of Asia is usually pretty good. Sure the plotline is somewhat obscure and things are indeed dragged out, but there are some intense moments. I personally think Japanese horror films tend to be a lot more "scary" than Korean ones, but mainly if you're looking for that whole "WTF WAS THAT?!" factor.

Most Asian horror movies are composed of long drawn out bouts of talking , with short but intense scenes of actual horror . If you want some good Asian horror try " tale of two sisters ", "silk ",or " visible secrets " . But my friends and I are fanatics for Asian stuff so we might be a bit biased about these . But they are the few memorable ones I can think off the top of my head. They're all psycho/ghost horror flicks , so I dunno if thats your thing . But I liked them

The movie is 133 minutes. Yes, it's long compared to the average film but it is very well paced. I guess you just have be familiar with the work of Park Chan-wook and realize that his films are not action blockbusters. He is simply one of the most creative directors in the world.
I would be interested in what a review of Lust, Caution would sound like. It's even longer and contains sex that was more graphic than in this film.

Have you guys ever seen any other Korean or Asian films? Just curious, because really asian cinema is quite different from Hollywood cinema.

I think they're better than Thirst but come on. It's kinda hard to beat Old Boy huh?

I'm not sure that this reviewer watch the same movie as I did. I thought it was excellent and one of the best movies of the year so far. It was not so much about vampires as it was the relationship and dynamics between Tae-joo and Sang-hyun. This movie was possibly not marketed correctly because it's more of a romance/dark comedy than a horror or drama film. And since when did sex scenes become porn?
