Movie Review: WET DREAMS 2
Before i begin, i have to admit that this movie has left an impression on me in ways i have long forgotton existed. The last film i remember seeing that blew me away in such massive proportions would have to be the first Steven Seagal movie i saw, though i would be apt to put that down as inexperience as much as it was the power of the movie itself. (Not to take credit away where credit is due, Steven Seagal was and still very much is a great character actor, though he still has yet to be bestowed the critical acclaim he so exceedingly deserves) So, forgive me if I sound a tad biased.
Of the few Korean shows that i have had the pleasure, or displeasure, of viewing over the years, WET DREAMS 2 certainly started out the most promising. With a title ripped straight from annals of porn films past and yet to come, and nubile young actresses acting as underaged girls, how hard would it be for a show like this to be hailed an instant classic? And right from the onset, the viewer is not left dissapointed, immediately being drawn in to the world of WET DREAMS 2 and led along as the plot swerves left and right, much like a good film should, before being flung head first into the climatic finale. Far from the big name, big budget trash that clutters the cinema halls, WET DREAMS 2 is one of those rare films that everyone has heard of, but few have ever seen. One where all the elements of a good story fall seemlessly into place. One where the personality of the characters are not overshadowed by those of the actors/actresses, as many a movie has fallen prey to. One where the cinematography is near flawless, and the accompanying soundtrack serves not to distract the viewer but to accentuate the mood. I could go on forever, but you get the point.
Alas, a modern day gem as it is, i do have one criticism on my part. At a mere 90+ minutes, the inadequate length of WET DREAMS 2 is disappointing, especially with all the potential flowing through. I dare not imagine what kind of magic could have been conjured had WET DREAMS 2 been a full 2 and a half hours or even 3. Yet, what an insignificant complaint this is when seen in the light of the wonder that the creators of WET DREAMS 2 have bestowed upon us.
Two words can be best used to describe WET DREAMS 2, two words that have flowed through my mind ever since I experienced WET DREAMS 2: "whoa shit".
Goes well with alcohol.
