Summary: A girl who thinks she is a combat cyborg checks into a mental hospital, where she encounters other psychotics. Eventually, she falls for a man who thinks he can steal people's souls. (imdb)
Do not be fooled: Cyborg is a natural, albeit unexpected, continuation of the filmmaker's meditations on grief and revenge. Just as his characters bandage each other to go on, Chan-Wook masks the film's gloom with surreal spectacle and guilty laughs at the expense of the mentally disabled (though not without sympathy). Lacking the dehumanizing violence of its vengeful antecedents, it offers a subtler treatment of the subject, but not as well paced. Still, what a dream from which to awaken!
The rare movie that can use mental illness as a backdrop to comedy without being cruel or exploitative. I'm a Cyborg But That's OK challenges us on our ideas regarding mental illness, asks questions about whether we have a right to our own reality -- even when that reality is a harmful delusion -- and shows that love sometimes comes in extraordinary forms.
Chan-wook Park switches gears and succeeds with the quirky romantic comedy. The strangeness might be a little off-putting at first but it really adds to the wonderful atmosphere. Breezy and hilarious.
Nobody gets their achilles' tendon slit, or their teeth forcibly extracted with a claw hammer. My first non-vengeance Park film, and I have to say I was at least a little impressed. Just a beautiful, clever film. Not especially deep, but it's not like every movie has to be a brutal analysis of man's seeming addiction to cruelty, degradation, shame and suffering.
19 Mayis 08 & Amelie ile birlikte izledigim en sirin film.Ask hic bu kadar surreal ve degisik bicimde anlatilmamisti.Efektler cok yerinde, muzikler ve kurgu cok iyi.Goruntu yonetmeninin filme cok cok buyuk etkisi var.
There's a lot of humour at the expense of mental illness, which I found distasteful, but if you stick with it a sweet little love story eventually emerges.
There's nothing that's ever completely straightforward about a Park film, even this absurd comedy (or off-kilter tragedy if you prefer) isn't as simple as it seems at first. A young woman being institutionalized for thinking that she's a cyborg sets the stage for Park's usual quirkiness, but surprisingly enough there are moments that are appropriately heavy, tender, perhaps even somewhat romantic. The main criticism that I have with all of Park's work is that the editing could be tighter.
