I saw the Wailing last week and it was great! We stayed out for like another hour trying to piece together the plot though. I like how instead of seeing all the horror, instead it mostly focused on the main character and his increasing helplessness to the situation. I'm pretty sure no matter what the Japanese and shaman were definitely evil, but my group couldn't reach a consensus on whether the woman was evil or not. I argued she was good because of the wilting flower imagery and when the shaman did the ritual the daughter was the one that was mostly attacked, not the Jap, which led me to believe that the woman had possessed her to help her out. But then she also stole stuff...but when the main character went home the flowers wiltedAAAAARGH

Secx posted:This video cleared up a lot of things for me and made me notice some details I missed. It also goes in the Korean ghost folklore that the movie is based on. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxjp2YIk798 Thanks, that's a choice link and helped out a lot! I decided to track down and catch the director's previous film, The Chaser and it was great and  i felt so bad for Mijin like so bad She is forced to do sex work at a time she was feeling unwell, had to leave her daughter at home, was almost murdered, wakes up to find two dead bodies, frees herself, goes home to find her house has been broken into and her daughter is missing, calls her pimp, pimp doesn't reply, seeks refuge in nearby shop, murderer coincidentally buys stuff there and finds out she's there too, murders shopkeeper and Mijin and sigh Great film but that sequence made me feel super down.
