Neung wan (2023)
A tense , intriguing , mysterious and well performed thriller with some plot holes
The story is well paced after it's first 10-15 minute of slow burn, suffering from some disturbing incidents of varying quality, packing nice as well as mental scary moments . There are some really creepy scenes with soul reaching chills, ghastly surprises and outstanding the pleasantly visual look too. Beautiful Art Direction, especially the details on Chinese wedding scene which was just stunning.
There's a demon likes to get inside your mind, if he enters he can be a bit unkind, takes you down a winding path, a quite determined sociopath, doesn't care what trauma that he leaves behind. It's the kind of shade that's often passed along, the recipient may feel they don't belong, an imposter in their world, wearing a mask fully unfurled, all life's treasures we take for granted, simply gone.
Some stellar performances in a film that will get you thinking about the effects life's challenges present and how you deal with them, albeit through the eyes of those possessed by demonic urges they can't control.
Clinic (2023)
Bitter Truth that is so obvious
According to the film, cosmetic operations are more than just a draw for women who are concerned about their appearance. These treatments are the product of societal pressures and girls who, for the most part, lack self-esteem. Lisa, the protagonist, becomes a victim of BBL surgery as a result of her colleagues' pressure to make more money from her dance career. Her companion, however, persuaded her not to go because of low social norms and phony social media. Throughout her childhood, her persistent dread of being ridiculed attacked her passion for her physique. Certain ladies were sucked into the pot of bogus beauty dreams even when she went to the clinic involved in illicit cosmetic surgery.
The film sends a strong message to women who adhere to false beauty standards by repeatedly harming their bodies in order to survive in a fictitious world. These cosmetic operations not only mutilate their bodies, but society also suppresses the virtue of individual self-love. Lisa was survived by a friend who was opposed to these operations, but what about the other women in our culture who have entirely succumbed to this ridiculous standard by losing sight of the value of their bodies.
