The Sword with No Name


So, I watched this film yesterday and I think it was okay. The usual love story formula and some CGI fight scenes. Since the film was set in a time where Westerners were finally coming in Korea, it was interesting to see some of the reactions of people regarding foreigners and how the politics work with other countries especially with Japan and Russia trying to influence national policies.
The fight scenes were okay most specially the last one where the Japanese stabs the Queen and blood was squirting out of her body. Gory but good. I can't stop myself from blurting out expletive words. Haha. But that was not the most disturbing scene for me, it was actually the last scene which were flashbacks. It was supposed to be all sweet remembering their happy time together but then the guy-licking-the-girl's eyeball happened. I'm still having goosebumps whenever I remember that scene. *shivers.
