3-Iron [Bin Jip] (2004)

The first thing I noticed was the BMW motorbike (& then the BMW car). Then I understood the neat trick involving the fastfood flyers. I liked how he fixed things. I liked the way the movie progressed; & I loved the last tagline of the movie. I loved that the hero/heroine don't speak at all; & the only words she says in the end made it special. The last bit of him haunting the other homes was unnecessary; but logical. There is so much metaphorical stuff in this movie that it's awesome. The photographs embodied stagnancy & chains; while the invisibility of the house-breakers depicted free-spiritedness.

It is a very slow movie; but brilliant.

Favourite scenes include: Golf in the park; When she joins the photoshoot; when the boxer returns home; the first kiss; the total weight being zero.

Alternate Ending: The golf-ball car-accident seemed sour; but it showcased his remorse. & her being a glamour-model didn't make any sense. I'd redo those bits.

First Viewed: Alone at Harborne in Parramatta.

Rating-3.5
