In this episode, we do a test run of our podcast where we discuss film. Juxtaposing 2 films each episode, we plan to compare the academy award winner with the biggest box office film of the same year. For this trial run, we went in a little bit of a different direction reviewing an American film against a foreign film.
Mother, directed by Bong Joon Ho and starring Hye-ja Kim and Yoon Do-Joon, is about a mother searching for the killer who framed her son and the lengths she'll go to, to protect him. We both enjoyed this film and found the various plot twists really explored what these characters meant to each other.
The Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind, directed by Michel Gondry and starring Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet, explores Joel Barrish's mind as he tries to erase heartbreak and love from his memory. This movie is beloved by both of us, using a tapestry of special effects and an honest portrayal of romance to examine the depths of a relationship.
So what film won over our hearts more? The edgy foreign crime thriller or the artistic honest love story. . Tune in and listen to find out. Or don't, cause this was just a test.
