 <2009 Lost Memories> reflects on the trail of 'The Korean Blockbuster' and returns to basics to promise a new leap forward.
In 2001, reaching the 50% mark in the Korean film market was achieved by relying on shallow cultural trends ranging from 'Kick the Moon' and 'My Sassy Girl' to the latest 'My Wife Is a Gangster', 'Hi, Dharma', and 'My Boss, My Hero'...
It is true that the concern that laughter was the only way to go to satisfy the tastes of the younger generation's admiration for organized crime and the demands of the general public for light and funny topics is intensifying due to the comparatively weak front put up by large-scale movies costing over 5 billion. 'MUSA, the Warrior', with its massive amount of content, was ignored by the audiences while 'Last Witness' failed to live up to expectations and closed quietly. In addition, 'Volcano High', with all its computer graphics of a 'techno martial arts school' and wire action did not last very long because of its weak plot.
The success of a great piece of work is determined by how many people watch it and not by how much it contains.<2009 Lost Memories> appeals to the audience with the sensitive issue of Seoul being absorbed into Japan. Furthermore, action with firearms that goes off like fireworks will add flare to it.
<2009 Lost Memories> lays its foundation in the national spirit that appeals to the Korean public like 'Shiri' and 'JSA'. This is also the first time that a Korean movie deals with the future in a world of imagination where the Korean peninsula has been reorganized and will become an 'adventurous' challenge.
All these diverse characteristics that <2009 Lost Memories> possesses will ultimately provide visual proof of the development of Korean film.
