with the song 'Death is The Road to Awe' by Clint Mansell, from Darren Aronofsky's not remotely impressive (by comparison) The Fountain.
Beware the massive spoilers. But very few will appreciate it without having seen the three. Which means not many people will watch this. =P
The title is very appopriate, and the music is incredibly appropriate in tone. I did my best to be honest with Park's material, whether the video lives up to that idea, I leave up to you. It may not be the best video I've ever done, but I'm sure I did the best I could. It was actually physically exhausting to work on.

This is the most incredible tribute video i have ever seen. Just breathtaking.

Very good work man, I've seen all three, they among my favorite films. You captured the mood and sentiment very well. I can imagine it was tough to make, these movies are hard to watch, they take a lot of energy from you.

Wow ! what a great work, perfect to show everyone the greatest movie triology in the world ! Korea rules !
-

Thanks, it was draining work.

I can't speak too much on Kim Ki Duk unfortunately. But I can say that I think Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring was an especially moving and well made picture. So based on that alone I could see why viewers might want to put them up against each other. I don't see art as much of a contest anyway though. I compare artists too, of course. But ultimately there's just too much to differentiate individual filmmakers' (equally valid) approaches to allow for sportsmanlike point scoring,

Many people compares Park Chan Wook with Kim Ki Duk. Kim is also very psycological and intense in terms of storytelling, but lacks the power of Park's aesthetics IMHO. Kim is very good but Park... Park is way better. Outstanding video to homage an outstanding director. Kudos for you, sir.

Your English seems fine to me, wish I had more messages like that.

I don't know where you find 'optimism' in this actually incredibly ominous sounding music, and putting my tribute to a new track (without making concessions beforehand) is so presumptuous that frankly it kind of pissed me off a little bit. But I'm not going to overreact. (It's just polite to ask) I still have my video. I'll watch yours sometime soon and give my honest opinion.

I see you've taken it down. I hope my comments weren't discouraging - it was an interesting contrast nonetheless.

I liked all three movies but the first was in my opinion the worst one. I thought it had pacing issues and the characters weren't as likeable or memorable as the other two movies. Overall though its a pretty sick trilogy and if you enjoyed them check out other similar south korean films such as "I saw the devil" and "The man from nowhere" they are both streaming on Netflix!
