Genre : Crime, Drama, Mystery, Thriller

Conclusion
The whole story of the movie is not special and it's a usual movie about people who find some mysteries. I find it could be a good ending of the film, eventhough I haven't read the novel, if it had been cut in the twisted scene, but it wasn't. The director keeps it continued until it became a happy ending movie that personally I don't like. Overall, I'll give it 7.5/10

Conclusion
This movie was so amazing, and it's the best movie about crime I've ever seen. The story was so thrilling from the beginning of the movie until the end and I think it's what a crime-genre movie must have. The Cinematography was also amazing too and it's a Korean movie characteristic. I mean it's common to see a Korean movie has an amazing Cinematography. It could also become a critic to Korean police and so their government for their troublesome work. Last but not least, I think I would give this movie 10/10 rating.

Writing a movie review or even only daily activities and my thoughts about life in English would be very hard but if I'm not tried it from now, then when? But I think it would become easier day by day If i keep practicing it.

So please understand if I have so many grammatically mistake because my English is not good hehehehe........

Overview
Rating IMDb : 7.0/10
Sutradara : Takashi Miike
Genre : Comedy, Drama, Horror, Thriller
Awards : 3 Wins

Kesimpulan
Film ini adalah the most disturbing movie I've ever watched, karena di dalamnya mengandung berbagai unsur-unsur yang tidak biasa dan dianggap sangat menjijikkan oleh orang normal, contohnya adalah tindakan Necrofilia, Incest, Lactation, dan kekerasan membuat film ini terasa sangat suram. Hal tersebut benar-benar sangat mengganggu selama menonton film ini, tetapi itulah hal yang membuat film ini berbeda dari film-film lainnya, karena sutradara film ini, Takashi Miike (One Missed Call, Audition, Ichi The Killer) tidaklah membuat film ini sebagai film dengan tujuan komersil (b-side movie), namun lebih mengarah ke seni dari film itu. Film ini pasti membuat orang bertanya-tanya apa maksud sebenarnya yang ingin disampaikan dari sutradara, sehingga maksud film ini dapat diterjemahkan ke berbagai dugaan yang berbeda. Sinematografi yang ada di film ini jugalah tergolong biasa-biasa saja bahkan menjurus ke jelek. Unsur yang sangat kuat di film ini dan bahkan satu-satunya unsur yang baik dari film ini adalah maksud yang ingin disampaikan. Menurutku film ini pantas mendapat rating 6.8/10 karena walaupun memiliki maksud yang baik, tetapi cara penyampaian yang terlalu distrubing menurutku malah menjadikan film ini sebagai trauma tersendiri.
