Jag måste medge att jag inte blev så tagen av Gwoemul (2006). Den är okej, men inte så mycket mer än det. Det är tydligt att koreanerna gör väldigt underliga filmer, men jag klagar förstås inte. Det här är helt okej underhållning, men jag undrar om man borde se det som mer än det? Jag förvånas dock över att historien om mutantfisken har sitt upphov i en verklig händelse! Ur filmens trivia:

The event described in the beginning of Gwoemul is based on an actual event. In February 2000 at a US military facility located in the center of Seoul, a US military civilian employee named Mr. McFarland was ordered to dispose of formaldehyde by dumping it into the sewer system that led to the Han River despite the objection of a South Korean subordinate. The South Korean government attempted to prosecute Mr. McFarland in a South Korean court but the US military refused to hand over the custody of Mr. McFarland to the South Korean legal system. Later, a South Korean judge convicted Mr. McFarland in absentia. The Public was enraged at the South Korean government’s inability to enforce its law on its own soil. In 2005, nearly five years after the original incident, Mr. McFarland was finally found guilty in a South Korean court in his presence. He never served the actual prison sentence, however. No sighting of a mutant creature has been reported in Han River — yet.

Tufft. Mer har jag nog inte att tillägga. Helt okej film för underhållningens skull.
