Another Sympathy for Lady Cyborg "Granny Tell Me What Is The Purpose of Existing.."
"I am a machine, but... I didn't come with an instruction manual or a label on me anywhere. I still don't know what my purpose of existing is. What was I made & born in this world for?"
"The vending machine says hi!" & "It's a life time warranty."
Ilsoon Sets The Bar The Way Too High & Worth for Younggoon. Younggoon Must Be Proud Having Him. Man Doesn't Make You Rice Megatron & 2 Static Gloves, Is Him Even Worth It?
Tips nonton : turn off your braincells, pakai sudut pandang ODGJ, menjadi 'tidak waras' untuk menonton ini, harus nggak waras, dulu. Ini film anehhh. Udah..nggak usah susah2 melogiskan film ini. Kita harus sama kayak mereka biar paham film ini mau dibawa kemana. Dan film ini menceritakan tentang apa tentunya harus jadi 'ga waras/insane' dulu seperti mereka.
Tips to watch : Turn off your braincells until the movie ends, Apply/use mentally ill person's pov as mentally deranged as them to understand, to comprehend, to get what this movie tells about. We have to turn off our braincells & we have to be mentally ill-ed, deranged, mentally sick, insane like them. Very unlikely psychological movie in general which mostly be serious. Throw your logic away!

As someone who is a devoted romcom series/drama/movie-s. I am sold into it! I love how the perfect Mr. Director Park Chanwook told a story from mentally deranged people's perspective without misinterpreting, misrepresenteing the characters. Anyway the pschyaters, psychologists here were really lovely & endearing hearing their patients, served them as their most beloved bestfriends. It really crossed the thresholds by delivering deliriously unique absurd surrealistic daft romantic comedy movie story that definitely eccentrically very unusual. I think, it seems that Mr. Director Park Chanwook's take on the romantic movie couldn't stray away more from the norms of the genre, as he managed applicating, implementing his style even in this category. Mr. Director creates unusual & very brand new stereotype of the genre by using, applicating, using humour & exhibiting his subject with his peculiar sense of irony. Best of him, he could managing balancing all the elements, basic essential foundations between the serious-ness of the subject, object & humour is truly elaborated & veeeeryyy synchronized! The film's twee comedy mixed with the occassional burst of sci-fi, or violence a highlight. As ever, it looks enchanting! it looks endearing! Quite high quality from film which came 16 years ago, as ever it looks pretty, enchanting, pastel looks as expected from the direction from Mr. Director Park Chanwook & regular DOP, Mr. DOP Jung Junghoon.
Post 'Vengeance' Trilogy, Mr. Director Park Chanwook released, presented this movie tells about 2 mentally deranged people whom they were institusionalized into psychiatric ward, movie tells about extremely surrealistic & absurd mentally ill-ed people with their unique character + behaviour their each. Younggoon's grandmother suffered, got a schizophrenic illness, imagined herself as a mouse, that rubber waistband xD! Younggoon herself as the filial granddaughter, heired, inherited the schizophrenic illness, suffered the delusional illness as imagining herself as a cyborg, which led into her refusing to eat with usual human's foods then licked the battery to produce the electrical, electricity energy as her imagining herself as a cyborg.
"I have my reasons for stealing. I am afraid I will be vanished. I am anti-vanishing."
Then in psychiatric ward then Younggoon met Kleptomaniac Ilsoon who used to brushed his teeth, as he could be vanished such a dot, such a dust. Ilsoon here were written to help & encourage Younggoon to make her eat normal human's food again as usual as it should, as it should properly be human's food. Non cohesive plot, not cohesive story, messed arranged plot, with unique premise, nevertheless the excecution is immaculately fabulous as expected Mr. Director's master-craft hands. Comedic, whimsical, goofy, & quirky. I was funny without purposely in fun purpose of the characters & slipping into problematic notions especially because of the topic. The movie tells us that all our feelings are valid & it's always right to feel & acknowledge them. Ilsoon & Younggoon's love journey, love story depicts cute, not forced, natural, naturally funny quirky goofy petite cute & very adorable relationship. From what all I had learned from the movie, what I had learned from them is despite all of the circumstances, you just need one great support system which, who, that will always believe, believes you & believe what you can, believe what you believe, can respect, can understand you walk forward every step the way ahead.
Mr. Director Park Chanwook crafted a lovely little piece about mental illness awareness, mental illness, introducing mentally deranged-ill-ed people's perspective to the audience, taboos, grief, trauma, delusion, schizophrenic delusion. It had its moment of delightful humour, sweetness. The movies is absurd & abstract in terms of premise & presentation. a bit sci-fi genre whether the sci-fi genre, sci-fi elements were literal. The comedic, zany scenes bordered the absurd-ness were quite awesome. The unexpected moments of compassion were & are totally my type favourite, my liking! What a wholesome movie! Overstyled to the point of being grosteque in some parts. It could be that, It can be that, It can either leave the viewer wondering about what the heck they just watched or hit them straight to the heart. Many scenes were subtle as genuinely filled with much plenty emotions. It is tough bet to make a light-hearted movie carrying the issue of mental illness awareness, showing & introducing us the taboo of mentally ill-ed people's perspectives. Obviously seems Mr. Director Park Chanwook seems handled the situation well & best as expected, with his distinctive, unique, different, special as his style & passion.
Love the creativity, innovations, creations involving the design elements, her faithfully cyborg-ian self & set design. Pulls off the way beautifully merging with heightened style & surrealism stuff. I like & I find interesting, the quiet understated love that grew out of acceptance & understanding the sympathy-ness for one another, for each other. I got into the film, I really appreciated what this movie tells about. Ilsoon (Played by Rain) was very willing in the first place, he was very willing to make, to do anything, to do everything the best for Younggoon (Played by Lim Soojung) by making her a kinda rice megatron kinda. Ilsoon protected & loved Younggoon so much (with the rice megatron, the wine bottle cork which he placed on the top of the aerial on the lightning storm) without exposing her vulnerabilities or trying to change her. He even got her back, He kept encouraging, helping, supporting him, supported her back, that what is the meaning of, "quiet understated love that grew out of acceptance & understanding sympathy for one another."
Deliriously daft bizarre absurd psychological romantic comedy movie. Aggresively, derangedly, passionately, frankly my type of movie. Not cohesive, gritty, quite odd whimsical odd bizarre zany peculiar absurd strange wildly illogical type of movie. Took me fast to get fully warmed up to it, got its scoring & footing. All its eccentric charms, goofy madness really works fully, it really worked to me! , it really works to me! Even though the story is too meandering. I love it as deliriously daft most surrealistic masterpiece! I'm A Cyborg But That's Okay is full of technical flourishes which are pleasing, satisfying, gracing personally!
