Movie #103: The King and The Clown

Took a long break from watching movies didn't I? So, I decided to start things up again by watching The King and The Clown, since it's such a hit and all. Anyways, here goes...(I've decided to abandon my old way of formatting entries since it was such a pain in the ass)

The Story: Two clowns living in the Chosun Dynasty get arrested for staging a play that satirizes the king. They are dragged to the palace and threatened with execution, but are given a chance to save their lives if they can make the king laugh.

What I thought:

• overall, it was really good
• very interesting; two thumbs up for plot and subplots
• multifaceted, but not confusing
• love the characters; well rounded, had depth
• gorgeous costumes
• entertaining thoughout
• not draggy at all
• very nice choice of music
• very good acting

Note of Criticism:

• didn't quite reach my expecations; I thought it was going to blow me away
• I really didn't like crying-Junki
• Plus, he was too feminine at times; it kind of creeped me out
