the good, the bad, the weird

and a very accurate comment: “barely deeper than a footprint, but so much fun you’ll forget you care”

that is, should you consider funny:

– a Korean film with the appearance of a western directed by John Woo and Quentin Tarantino, restless and full of blood, anachronisms and spectacular shots,

– a character who has in possession a treasure map everyone is looking for and dreams to buy some cows and a dog once the map is sold,

– a set similar to a ranch, with the gate adorned with wind-bells instead of massive horns…

well, the choreography and camera work in the Ghost Market chase scene certainly caught my eye, the three title characters converge on the den of thieves and engage in a gunfight both on the ground and in the air.  one of them navigates the bamboo maze below, another fights from the rooftops and swings through the air on a complicated series of ropes and pulleys, which is highly improbable but incredibly entertaining.  the entire scene is kinetic, fluid and immediate, you are in the fight and in the sky…
