*SPOILER ALERT* Back in the foreign movie section on Netflix. And once again, the strange factor is present in the Asian foreign dramaish film "Dumplings". When I first saw the cover, I thought about those awesome dumplings I get at Chinese restaurants. It seems normal...a picture of an Asian girl with some dumplings in the background. Boy was I wrong. The movie starts out with an eerie tone and continues throughout the film. A depressed movie actress who is supposedly too old to act anymore (The actress looked like she was 30 which isn't old at all), goes to a woman for special dumplings that make people age in reverse. The really disturbing part of it is that the woman that makes the dumplings uses baby fetuses which she gets under-the-table from a local hospital. If that's not bound to make you a little squeamish, it gets worse. The dumplings end up making the actress sweat profusely and smell really, really bad. Which is also extremely disgusting.Wait. It gets even worse. There was a point in the film where the dumpling-woman chops up a fetus that has grown hair already and had a beating heart. I KNOW. IT'S REPULSIVE. A lot of other creepy stuff happened...including a random affair. If you want to watch this movie, be aware. I guess it was kind of interesting if this is your type of thing. It kind of scarred me. The acting was really good though even though the lead girl didn't have much emotion in her face and looked like a walking zombie. I think that's how the character was supposed to be though.
Happy movie watching! BYYYEEEE

Dumplings: Asian Drama Disturbs

That sounds really freaky. Why would anyone even make a movie like that?! It has been my experience that Netflix has great shows and movies, but it hides some really weird stuff if you look around. My mom is always watching french movies, and one time we watched a weird one about a baby who grew wings and at the end he flew away. Anyway, your review was great, but I definitely won't be watching Dumplings! I'll consider this a warning haha.
ReplyDeleteWow you gave a good description of the movie, it gave some detail but didn't reveal the whole thing, which is good for people wanting to see the film. It sounds really creepy by the way, not creepy like i wouldn't wanna watch, but creepy like this is so freaky but i can't stop watching!
