Rough Cut (a.k.a. A Movie is a Movie) is a 2008 South Korean film, and the debut feature of director Jang Hun. The film is based on an original story by Kim Ki-duk.
Synopsis
Gang-pae, played by So Ji-sub, is a local organized crime leader who still wishes he could be in movies. Su-ta, played by Kang Ji-hwan, is a haughty actor who is easy to provoke. Within his latest film, where he plays a gangster, he gets into the role too much and sends one of the stuntmen to the hospital. The two men meet by chance at a room salon and Su-ta enlists Gang-pae to join the production. But this real life gangster will only join the production if the fights are real. The two main characters continue to try and one-up the other every chance they get.
Cast
Blurring of real and fake
Since this film crosses back and forth between being an actual movie and a movie within a movie, the lines get blurred as to which the audience is watching. Examples:
- The character name Su-ta (수타) is a parody of 스타 meaning "(movie) star" in Korean. And the character name Gang-pae (강패) is a parody of 깡패 which means "gangster" in Korean.
- Choreographed fights become "real" and a "real" fight turns out to be planned but is however "real".
- The actual movie script for Rough Cut is shown being read and held several times by rehearsing characters and crew within the film.
- Numerous members of the actual crew, including the producer and editor, are seen in the film as "crew members".
- Various movie posters can seen seen including Time also written by Kim Ki-duk and an early draft of a Rough Cut poster, which is the same image on the cover of the scripts.
- The "real" arrest of a bloodied Gang-pae for a recent murder turns out to be in image from a film shown in a theater right before the actual credits roll.
