The Asian Film Thread

A few months ago I saw this cracked out Korean movie called Save the Green Planet. It was one of the strangest movies I've ever seen, and it left an impression on me. Finally, I was able to find it on DVD this week at an import store. The movie I guess would be classified as a dark comedy, with a lot of suspense and horror thrown in.

"Hopped up on consiracy theories and sci-fi films, Lee, a blue-collar sad sack is on a mission to save the world. Andromedian aliens have infiltrated human society and are planning to destroy the planet at the next lunar eclipse. The one alien possessing the Royal Genetic Code needed to stop this plan just happens to be his old boss."

Basically the main character, Lee, kidnaps his old boss under the excuse that he's an alien, and starts torturing him. Since Lee also takes lots of halucinogenic drugs, you aren't sure whether he really believes that these aliens exist, or whether it's just an excuse to get revenge on the boss who fired him.

It's all very cleverly done, and the movie will make you laugh, cringe, and freak you out a bit all at once. Definitely worth seeing if you want to see something a little different.
