Time MovieFew directors have caused as much controversy in Korea as Kim Ki Duk in his decade of filmmaking. Despite much acclaim overseas with wins at Venice and Berlin Film Festivals, of the maverick filmmaker’s twelve films, only 2001’s Bad Guy was able to register a blip at the domestic box office, in part due to Jo Jae Hyun’s (Piano) popularity. His latest controversial work, Time, risked an even worse fate in Korea. Kim only acquiesced to a limited release in late August 2006, after an online petition signed by over 10,000 netizens showed there were Koreans out there interested in Kim’s latest film.

Plastic surgery has become a hot topic in Korea, covered in films ranging from horrors like Cinderella to romantic comedies like 200 Pounds Beauty. Kim addresses this controversial theme in a slightly different way. Se Hee (Sung Hyun Ah) and Ji Woo (Ha Jung Woo - The Unforgiven) have been together for years, but their relationship is slowly dying down, their love changing into a mere mildly pleasing familiarity. To solve her problems, Se Hee makes a drastic decision: change her facial appearances completely through plastic surgery and start a new life. Weeks later, Ji Woo meets a strange waitress at a cafe.

    To me the ending was about how no matter how much we try to reinvent ourselves physically, people will always take away the same sentiment about our core personality and persona.

    The movie didn’t have an ending! The director did not know where else to go so he just quit.

    the ending is about how the individual character we’ve been following becomes a faceless drone in the masses (who are all indistinguishable from one another and partake in needless cosmetic surgery). Her decision/fate is the same as the many millions of others we do not know or are aware of. It is an excellent ending that de-personalizes the story to comment on the larger implications at a societal level.
