REC (2011)

This is my first review and I'm giving it to this movie!

So at first, you're presented to a homemade film of two homosexual lovers spending their day at a motel for their fifth anniversary. Honestly, I didn't expect it to be much or make me feel as emotional as I felt by the end of the video. It got me smiling and laughing with them then crying with them.

The acting was great. I was really impressed. The way the movie was filmed and the actors' acting skills made it look so authentic and realistic it just makes you easily sucked into the story and the emotions that are conveyed through the script. It felt as if someone took a camera and filmed one day in their lives, not a movie.

There were some a bit of graphic scenes but it wasn't overdone -- overall it was balanced without showing too much sexual content which I found more suiting to the film than anything else. Nothing major though, didn't bother the movie.

Finally, I recommend everyone who doesn't mind homosexual romance to watch this. You'll absolutely enjoy it!

So I finally get to see this movie. I saw this movie trailer like 4-5 years ago but couldn't find it but thank god that I finally get to see this. I might have not wrote a review but the low rating and lack of reviews pushed me to do so. It's gonna be a long review. So first reason I cud think of on why it has low rating is bcoz not really many people watched it and it's really hard to find this movie. Second is, the movie is pretty short and the story is not that great compared to other gay movies and all. But what I'd like to point out is this movie came in 2011 and not the forget it's a Korean movie. Korea a place where people still think being gay is a disease even in 2020. Also korea is really not good with the idea of gay relationship even though they love shipping 2 guys from same group together. Talk about weird. Anyway this story might not have a happy ending n all but whats potrayed is the reality many gay relationship suffers in korea and many other countries including mine ( I'm gay and living in india). What I liked about the movie was the plot. It's unique considering it was made in 2011 and it directly pin pointed the reality. What we see is what's happening in real. Also both the male leads were great actors in showing the emotions the character were feeling. It was sad. Made me cry too a bit but I'm just an emotional fool so who knows

Story/Plot: The plot the concept of the movie is what I liked. What I didn't like is that its only an hour long and it ended pretty quickly. Just wen u r getting immersed into the character n get to know them, it ends. You don't get too much details and depths. But again as I said its 2011 movie so I don't blame them. The plot is still great for me and I love it

Acting/Cast: Both the actors potray the emotions pretty good. I won't say I haven't seen better acting or cast but they did well enough. Probably must b very awkward for them to work in a gay role. Still their sweet romantic scenes as well as wen the older one cries it hits my heart. U can see in his eyes the sadness even wen he smiles on camera. Its some good shit

Music: It music is more or less blehhh. Its ok nothing great though. But I wud recommend you to hear the song in the trailer of it. It's called 'Swan Song' by Robin Gray. Its really good. Suits the movie

Verdict: If you take into account that its a 2011 Korean movie and not compare it to recent movies then I think you might quite like it. Its sweet at first then sad and just pure heartbreaking in the end and I love a emotional rollercoaster. Watch it seriously
