    That is an amazing movie. The scene is heart wrenching and song kang-ho does an amazing job bring up all those frustrations, anguish and inability to capture the prep within a few second of time screen. Also, the long take when they find the first victim is amazing; the chaos and matched with the beautiful cinematography is one of the best moments in cinema. Other than that, my name is Larry and I'm a new to this forum and Idle thumbs podcast. I'm an aspiring librarian and archivist (would love to work with comics and film) and I write about comics with my friends: http://the9thblog.blogspot.com/
