In medias res

Since i suck at beginnings, and know full well that introductions are boring, i will start my first post sharing a great movie i saw a week ago. Not really a review, more of a geeky, enthusiastic recommendation.

Save the Green Planet! An amazing movie i wish i had seen years ago, since it ticks all my boxes.

Here is a description straight from wikipedia. Yes, I'm that lazy ;)

Save the Green Planet! (Korean title: 지구를 지켜라!, Jigureul Jikyeora!) is a South Korean film, written and directed by Jang Jun-hwan, released on 4 April 2003 . The movie mixes elements of multiple genres, including comedy, science fiction, horror and thriller. The basic story begins when the main character, Lee Byeong-gu, kidnaps another man, convinced that the latter is an alien.

I won't spoil the plot* and instead give a you a few toughts and impressions that went trough my head while watching it.

This movie is exactly the the kind of movie i love!
 Ever seen a goofy, horrifying, tragicomedy?

A movie that makes you laugh and cry, sometimes at the same time!
A movie that gets yo thinking, that scares the crap out of you, all the while filling you with wonder?

Well if you haven't. Rent or buy Save the Green Planet!

Don't listen to a random guy on the Internet and go check it out by yourselves.

It is totally worth your time.
