[Discussion] 3 Iron - Korean Movie

I just saw this movie and its left me somewhat bemused. I was wondering anyone has seen this movie or has any thoughts on the subject....I must say the Arabic song played throughout the movie is beautiful & haunting. If anyone wants to know the song is called "Gafsa" and its by Natacha Atlas - from the album "Halim."

A young man named Tae-suk, whose only possession is a powerful motorcycle, spends his time riding around the city looking for empty apartments.

Its strange, eerie & offbeat.....& not what I was expecting. Im still not sure about it the main guy doesnt speak at all throughout & there is very little dialogue overall no harm in giving it a go its only a movie so not as much time investment as a drama although i have been known to drop movies hahaha I have downloaded the song & have been listening to it nonstop

I so want to watch this movie, I have heard so much about it..but I can't find it anywhere streaming...so if you know where tell me :)

YAY!! thank you :D

i almost tend to watch almost movies atleast 2 times but this movie unfortunately i forgot to watch it again but...some of the logic/supernatural thing i still not get it but find it (content) satisfying.. ps: still, i like this more than chiller romance

hmmmm...should i?! should i not?! EDIT: ok..it's a 2004 movie...i guess i will go with the "not" heh

One of the best Korean movies I have seen, ever. Do take note of the amount of dialogue from the main character!

Bin Jip/ 3 Iron is one of the best korean movies I´ve seen.

The fact that the main lead has absolutely no line is giving the movie a superb feeling.
I watched it at least 5 times and still want to rewatch it.

Of course its not a movie for everyone, but its one of those movies that is just delicate.

Its worth every minute of the watch.

Oh and the main lead is the manhwa artist from 3 dads 1 mom.
