Revenge and Red Eyeshadow

Sympathy for Lady Vengeance, an interesting film indeed. Lee Young-ae plays the character named Lee Geum-ja I think?? (can't remember anyways..) and her performance was excellent!

Geez.. she kinda made red eye-shadow a trendy fashion statement. But then again, that make-up gave me the creeps. She returns in this film to get her revenge on the man who caused her to be jailed for a crime she did not commit. I would call this erm.. "divine" retribution. Well at least in this case it wasn't via "divine" intervention but rather by her tenacity in hunting the poor bastard down. I don't pity him rather. The folks had a good reason to slice/smash/stab and bleed him to death.

The last instalment in a trilogy of films by director Park Chan Wook, this one is a superb piece of film-making.. at least in my view that is.

Anyway, its still showing locally in SG. Go catch it if you haven't. Check out http://www.geum-ja.co.kr for the official website.















Now you know why I said her make-up gave me the creeps? She looks damn nasty in this image.. but hey.. I'd love to shag her. Hahah!!
