I'm Cyborg, but it's OK



Park Chan Wook, the director of Sympathy for Mr Vengeance, Old Boy and Sympathy for Lady Vengeance has shot rather a milder film this time called "I'm Cyborg but it's OK". His previous works were always full of violence but this time round, he made a comedy starring Rain as the main actor.

According to him, it's a funny and cheerful film.

"A girl gets hospitalized at a mental institution. She thinks she's a robot, a fighting machine, and daydreams about that. Even looking at all the machines in the surroundings, she thinks they're all like her, so she starts to send messages to a LCD screen, "go there and kill someone." That kind of kid.

There's obviously lots of patients to meet where she's at, people from every walks of life. Crazy men and women, but also a little boy she falls in love with, a thieving little boy; someone who thinks he has the ability to steal the soul of other people. Some kind of rude machine using equipment, like an electrode, every night stealing the souls of the sleeping patients."

one point to note, it is Rain's first movie and his hairstyle looks stupid.
