The Isle (Korean movie)... Whaaaa?

The wife and I watched The Isle last night. Apparently this movie created quite the stir at film festivals when it was released, and I recall my students telling me that I should see it back when I was in Korea. So we watched it last night, and came away extremely puzzled…

Has anyone else seen this movie? Anyone have any idea what it was about, or what the message was supposed to be? If so, please explain it to me and Astrogirl.

Wow. No one, eh?

I’ll give it one subtle bump before letting this thread die. :wink:

I caught it on cable last year.

I will never watch a Korean movie again. Never.
I still have nightmares about sashimi and fishhooks.

Don’t write them all off based on just that one… there are some really good Korean movies out. See Shi’ri and JSA, for example.
