[MOVIE REVIEW]'The Good, The Bad, The Weird' aspects of English subtitles

2008/07/21 | Source | Permalink |

"The Good, The Bad, The Weird", a $17-million oriental Western by veteran filmmaker Kim Jee-woon, topped the domestic box office in its opening weekend, selling a record 2.19 million tickets in four days since its release on Thursday.

The strong performance was widely expected, not least because the blockbuster project included Korea's three most bankable actors -- Lee Byeong-heon, Song Kang-ho and Jeong Woo-seong.

What's notable is that the movie has also signed on for a rare deal: English subtitles. Although only CGV Yongsan theater provides the Korean movie in English subtitles, it seemed a welcome change for a growing expat community in Korea.

The English subtitle for "The Good, The Bad, The Weird" is part of the program that CGV, the country's biggest multiplex chain, kicked off earlier this year with "A Man Who Was Superman", starring Jeon Ji-hyeon ("My Sassy Girl"), targeting non-Korean audiences here.

CJ/CGV will screen "The Good, the Bad, the Weird" (Joheun Nom, Nappeun Nom, Isanghan Nom) with English subtitles at its multiplex in Yongsan, Seoul. "The Good, the Bad, the Weird" is directed by renowned director KIM Ji-woon and the titular roles are played by the stars LEE Byeong-heon, SONG Kang-ho, and JEONG Woo-seong.

The western dubbed as kimchi western will premiere on Thursday and CGV Yongsan will offer the English subtitled screenings for at least two weeks. CJ/CGV, Korea's leading exhibitor, intends to increasingly offer major Korean films with English subtitles to allow foreigners in Seoul to enjoy Korean cinema.

KIM Ji-woon garnered international acclaim with "A Bittersweet Life" (Dalkomhan Insaeng), also with LEE Byeong-heon in the leading role. KIM previously worked with SONG Kang-ho on "The Foul King" (Banchik Wang), and "The Quiet Family" (Joyonghan Gajeok). JEONG Woo-seong played opposite of JEON Ji-hyeon in "Daisy".
