Sympathy For Lady Vengeance
No more Miss Nice "Lady" in "Jewel In The Palace", the Korean drama that took Asia by storm recently, Yeong-ae Lee will be playing the role of the title character "Lady Vengeance" in the finale of Chan-wook Park's excellent Revenge trilogy, "Chinjeolhan geumjassi" ('kind Ms. Geum-Ja' in Korean), AKA Sympathy For Lady Vengeance. "Sympathy For Mr Vengeance" was good, "Oldboy" was epic(and my movie of the year for 2004), just so that you can understand my anticipation. For starters, the plot summary from IMDB as follows: Lee Geum-Ja, at the age of 19, goes to prison for the murder and abduction of a child on behalf of her accomplice Mr. Baek, only to find out that she is betrayed. While in prison, she carefully prepares for her revenge by winning the hearts of her fellow inmates with her kindness, thus earning herself the nickname 'kind Ms. Geum-Ja'. Upon her release from prison after 13 years, she finally sets out to seek revenge on Baek, with the help of her former prison mates. Labels: Movies, Veneer Visage Of Visual Vexation |
