Mother OR I saw the devil?

Both are Korean Masterpieces, I prefer Mother just a little though, which one did you thought was better?

[–] sabialek 14 years ago

Both deal with entirely different symbols and themes. I find them incomparable for the most part...but when it comes to preference, I would probably agree with you on Mother.

Another brilliant Korean Revenge film is The Chaser, which is very similar to I Saw The Devil. I like The Chaser more because I think the development of the main character is largely more significant and the serial killer is more haunting in theory (I say in theory because Choi Min Sik is an incredible actor in I Saw The Devil and he occupies my nightmares).

Are you a Park fan out of wonder?

Mother of course.

Tough choice but I think I enjoyed I Saw The Devil just a little bit more.

Mothers a great film but I enjoyed I saw the devil a little more.

I didn't like I Saw The Devil very much while Mother was totally amazing.

Easily Mother. Devil is a visceral gut-punch of a movie but doesn't have a single brain cell in its gorgeous blood-soaked body. Mai Yamane! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-sYFirfywY&feature=related

I Saw The Devil, but just barely.

I saw the devil is better.

I Saw the Devil, because I liked the cinematography and the vengeance theme.

Although I loved Mother...I think I saw the Devil is better...mainly because of the bad guy in ISTD. Really hard to compare the two...Mother was kind of a mystery movie while ISTD was pretty much non-stop action.

I really liked Mother, but I couldn't watch more than 10 minutes of "I Saw the Devil". Way, way too violent for me.

So violent to where you couldn't even watch it? Hmm I guess everyone has their own tastes.

Personally I much prefer 'I Saw The Devil'. I rated 'ISTD' 9/10.

I rated 'Mother' 7/10. Decent movie but in my opinion, does not compare.

I saw the Devil is a good film, this isn't.
