As Cheng Kang’s [14 Amazons] is shown at this year’s Busan International Film Festival as a special screening, a Korean film [A Journey with Korean Masters] will be screened. It’s an omnibus film consisting of 5 shorts directed by 5 veteran Korean filmmakers that were once among the most prominent in the industry: Park Cheol-su, Byun Jangho, Lee Doo-yong, Lee Chang-ho and Jung Ji-young. It is a modest project about Seoul, produced by the A Journey with Korean Masters Production Committee. In this film, the masters collaborate with a wealth of actors of varying generations in promoting the city, integrating its past and present throughout the film. This special screening is an excellent chance to enjoy the hallmarks that define these mature, highly experienced directors. Although some may be familiar, others have not been in the public eye for almost twenty years.
The movie concerns about Trinity(Terence Hill=Mario Girotti)a roguish and cocky gunman with fast weapon who works as bounty hunter.His brother Bambino(Bud Spencer)is sheriff in a village but is also an undercover thief which attempts execute a heist. The'll face off against a rich owner(Farley Granger) and a Mexican marauders who try evict to a Mormons group. They help to the pacific settles and the confrontation will be inevitable but is developed by means of successive fights without blood,neither gore or cruel murders.The violence isn't crude but slight and predominates the comedy and parody. The storyline is embarrassment and ridiculous but has its agreeable moments here and there.It's a spaghetti western with humor and narrates the usual issues:invincible antiheroes,spectacular showdown ,violent taking on but united to slapstick and simple humor.It's an entertained Italian western with adequate runtime where there are irony,tongue in check,shoot outs,numerous struggles and is quite funny and amused. Terence Hill is sympathetic,hilarious and likable; Bud Spencer is rough, two fisted,bouncing ,grumpy man but with good heart,their characters are similar to Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy.The film is a spoof of famous films as ¨the magnificent seven¨ and ¨blazed saddles ¨but covered with spaghetti.The picture obtained a sequel with the same protagonists and director¨Trinity is still my name¨.Besides originated a series of awful imitations and copies. Rating:nice and bemused.
