Fuga da Meia-Noite (2021)

Vengo con otra película de suspense este viernes (para que no se noten mis gustos jajajaja).
La historia me pareció muy impactante y me gustó mucho que no es de las películas que tienes que esperar a que vayan por la mitad para que comience la acción ya que la acción comienza en el minuto uno. Es una película que te va a tener en alerta todo el tiempo sin saber qué va a pasar a continuación. Otra cosa que me gustó mucho y que también te ayuda a entender a los personajes y a meterte más en la película es que en muchas escenas te anulan el sonido ambiente dado que los personajes principales son sordos. Al anularte el sonido ambiente, eres capaz de entender mejor cómo los personajes principales de la mujer y la hija se están enfrentando a la persecución del asesino.
En cuanto a los personajes, la madre y la hija me gustaron mucho pero la capacidad de manipulación del asesino en serie me dejó alucinada y era algo que no me podía creer.
Sin embargo, esta serie me ha dejado una profunda reflexión sobre las personas sordomudas. Las protagonistas tienen que luchar constantemente durante la persecución con la comunicación con las demás personas que las rodean pero el resto de personas no saben entender el lenguaje de señas, lo único que ayuda a complicar la situación. Por lo tanto, me dejó reflexionando la necesidad que hay de que los sistemas educativos incluyan lengua de signos desde que somos pequeños para poder conseguir una inclusión total.

PSYCHO

Effectively a crazy movie, ending with a smile on your face. The film reflects reality in its entirety and shows you that you should not judge people by their looks or their problems. The ending was excellent, wonderful, everything you want. Now I understand much better people with hearing problems and what they go through or could go through. Although he was killed, I would have liked to have another ending, but this is a very good one, which I did not expect at all. (An example of an ending would be one where he is in prison, to start a treatment, and years later she would see him again, him apologizing for what he had done, begging for her forgiveness, and her hearing him, because she had an operation to be able to hear. She forgives him, but says that they could not remain friends, not even more than that, but only to greet each other when they meet again. Let him agree, and the film ends with her walking out the door. ) In short, the film is worth seeing, but not in the late hours, especially if you get scared quickly, and not in the dark, if you want to sleep that night. The film, in addition to showing you a story of a girl and her mother, gives you a life lesson, from which you have a lot to learn.

Incrível

Um filme que me deixou com o coração na garganta e prendeu a minha atenção tão bem que quando percebi já estava terminando.

Pensa num vilão que você dá vontade de entrar no filme e acabar com ele . Pensou? Pois é, em Midnight é assim.

A polícia sinceramente viu, mais burra impossível, assim como uns civis que sinceramente achei insensíveis demais.

Achei a atuação nota mil, a Jin Ki Joon no papel da vítima surda entregou TUDO e, o Wi Ha Joon que desempenhou o papel de psicopata tão bem... o que só prova sua versatilidade (um bom moço em Squid Game) agora um baita vilão manipulador.

Foi desesperador ver a vítima tentando fugir de um assassino sem poder ouvir nem um mínimo som e ainda se passar de louca quando tenta pedir ajuda.

Quanto a trilha sonora, tiveram momentos que o filme ficava mudo o que deixou ainda mais intenso e momentos em a música me deixava com sensação de estar sendo perseguida também kkk

Pra quem é fã de Thriller, se joga que esse é sucesso

Thrillride

It was my first Korean movie and I'm so happy I watched it!
I only gave 5 ⭐ for Music because there wasn't like any music and 7.5 ⭐ for Rewatching Value, cuz you know what will happen and it's not as thrilling as watching it for the first time. Still rewatchable!
To the story:
The start of the movie throws you right into cold water with the first murder.
The female main character being deaf and mute makes it kinda easier for the murderer, which is pretty frustrating, but since she's pretty smart and knows how to deal with it, she always manages to get away from him.
The ending is cute with the brother and sister, the main lead and her mother at the sea, but I wished for the "villain" to get a more punishing ending than just dying.
Ending: I wasn't expending her stabbing herself to get back at him but she was giving off baddy vibes😅
I recommend this one for people who like thrillers and want to watch and exciting movie with frustrating scenes and plots.

this was really good(!!!) but talk about a crazy ride - from start to finish, i was on the edge of my seat, screaming at the screen and biting my nails Aish my heart - kinda knew it would be frustrating, cause in normal times most people don't have the patience or humanity to try and understand, let alone help people who r handicapped - so was sure i would go out of my mind cause of the "normies" insensitivity and lack of compassion or comprehension - wasn't wrong on either account. that's more or less why the cops in the first scene kept glossing over the hearing impaired females and always turned first to the "normal" male - maybe there was a tad of sexsisim also involved, but as the main issue was a deaf persons worse nightmare - guess i focused on that bit.

great acting by all - even the by the psychopath (seen my fair share of psycho's on screen) and this is the first one, that u could literally see that he was enjoying the hunt - is was fascinating and scary to watch.
loved the mother daughter bond/relationship - touched my heart how the mother didn't care about anything but her child, and same with the daughter (and yeah its logical) and yet seeing it in action was really heartwarming. it emphasized the evil in Do Shik, as the lack of humanity in him emphasized the warmth in Kyung Mi and her mother.

Jong Tak was an ironic character cause of his profession and the choice he had to make - it was understandable and yet it didn't paint him in a great light - cause Kyung Mi had the same choice not once but twice, and she always chose to help. that's also what i loved about this movie, cause u saw how flawed we all r - just cause every body part is in working order doesn't mean we r perfect as seen in the scene where Kyung Mi in the midst of a crowd could get help.... sad reality but great movie for sure a rewatch!

It was good

The movie, frankly, is very wonderful. I loved the heroine’s approach very much. The best thing is that there are no bad feelings. I recommend it. It is useful for teenagers from 14 years old and above. +I recommend it ✨

heart stopping thriller

This South Korean thriller's twists and turns is an outstanding and promising debut for writer-director Kwon Oh-Seung; it's gripping as a genre exercise and tense. But it also provides a (perhaps unintended) critique of a society that frequently views women and people with disabilities as less valuable than males who are physically fit.

Unlucky Do Shik was about to attack another young woman, So Jung (Kim Hye-Yoon), when Kyung Mi just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. So Jung's incredibly controlling brother Tak So (Park Hoon) had warned her not to stay out too late. Uncomfortably, it appears that he was somewhat correct

if you love a good edge of your seat thriller from start to end this is the film for you, definitely one of my favourites.

This was a roller coaster

Okay so this is probably going to be my first and only review. . Umm I'm not sure if these count as a little bit of spoilers but I'll keep the tag up in case.



This movie was AMAZING. The acting was spot on and holy crap Wi Hajoons acting was scarily impressive.
It had me look away sometimes and gasp because of the jump-scares and surprising scenes.
By the end of the movie I was so so relieved. Still, all of the things the psychopath did was scarily smart and a little predictable at times. Not to mention what MC did near the end, I was super impressed. If I had to put one thing I didn't like, it would be the police or civilians not seeing what was wrong. I'm pretty sure it was obvious something was off about the guy but yep.
And yeah that's about it!

Wrote this after a rewatch and though I already knew, my feelings were the same in two watches

Seeing the concept (and Wi Hajoon) was what made me interested, and it didn't disappoint me. I absolutely love Hajoon's (and everyone's!) performance in this movie. I first watched Hajoon's soft side in 18 Again, then saw his cooler side in Squid Game, and this is (I'm pretty sure!) the third Hajoon project that I've watched and he did amazing in every single project of his I watched so far, and Midnight is definitely one of my favorites.

The chase scenes were honestly so scary and definitely made me just want to focus on it (tbh the whole movie is), like, I felt like if I just tear my attention away for a second, she would get caught or something. There were times when there was absolutely no sound at all, kind of putting it in the girl's point of view and at those times it was the scariest. Even for those few seconds of silence it felt terrifying for me, I really can't imagine how terrifying it must be for her. Running from a serial killer that you have to look back on to check if he's close or not, and though she was on the run herself, she still felt the need to help out the girl she just met. But it was the most frustrating thing ever. She was the nicest girl but when she was the one in need of help, no one did. When she approached some people and they just kinda walked away, it REALLY frustrated me. And I guess the killer is a pretty dang good actor himself for people to believe him over his victims. Or are they not able to sense ABSOLUTE FEAR FROM THE GIRL???? LIKE?????? YALL SERIOUS???????? Maybe if they bothered to actually pay attention to the girl and what she's TRYING HER BEST to convey............ But yknow what, I'm not even surprised about that because that's what these genres do. But it's overall pretty good. Honestly, I don't watch movies a lot but after watching this movie, I suddenly got in the mood to watch some other movies too.
