[Frozen Flower Korean Movie Download

And also, Whoa!! those were some INTENSE sex scenes. Good stuff though. I don't understand why people are going crazy over the sex scenes. Many you guys make it sound like what they were doing was the most vile thing in the world. People should really take the time and watch the movie closely because if you did then you would understand why those scenes were put in there. They represent the sexual awaking of both the Queen and Hong Lim. When he first has sex with her he is hesitant and uncomfortable but after he has experienced the passion and bliss of having sex with the Queen he becomes addicted to it. Those intense scenes were the representation of his desire to sleep with the Queen. They were put there to symbolize the physical/sexual attraction between the Queen and Hong Lim. In the process of all of this Hong Lim slowly realizes that he has fallen for her. Sorry to say this but people really need to stop being so prude and realize the fact that this happens all the time. The difference here is that instead of it being closely hidden away in the privacy of a person's home it is open to everyone to see on the big screen. Some people here need to watch indie films because they do the same thing all the time but at the end of the day it's for art. Big budget Hollywood movies don't do things like that because so many are associated with sponsors that would flip a lid if they did something like that all the time.
Oh yeah, some of the homophobic comments need to stop. This close-minded thinking is wrong and saddening. I just had to get this off my chest because some of the comments here rubbed me the wrong way. People's limited exposure to things only just feeds their ignorance.
I share your views and opinion. I do however suspect that some us who have expressed shock/surprise at the onscreen nudity and sex scenes may be too young to have watched other movies of a similar nature, and yes, there have been mainstream korean movies (not soft porn movies) where actresses strip to portray simulated sex scenes. Jeon Do Young, Kim Hye Soo, Seong Hyeon-ah, Yun Jin Seo, Kang Hye Jeong, are just examples of well-known actresses who had to strip and simulate sex scenes in order to advance the storyline. Song Ji Hyo also had nude sex scenes in Sex Is Zero 2 but I guess not many paid close attention to that film.
For those of you who are 'disgusted' or 'repulsed' at watching 'explicit' scenes in Frozen Flower, then maybe you need to ask yourself why watching two actors pretending to make love can be so disgusting. If the sex scenes look too real for your own comfort, then you should love and praise the actors even more, not criticise the film or fast forward the scene. These scenes appear for only a few minutes at a time but the actors had to do those same scenes more than a few times until the director got what he wanted to print the final cut.
Unlike some films, FF has no full frontal nudity, and if you thought Jin Mo and JIS exchanging saliva was 'too in your face', then you'd better wake up bcos homosexual love is not just about two men holding hands. It is important for FF's director to show the strong and intense passionate love between the 3 main characters as they slowly build towards the story's ending.
I'm not against those of you who choose to have a different opinion about onscreen nudity and sex scenes. This forum allows anyone who wants to voice their views, no matter how contrary or extreme. Some of us are more open minded than others, and some of us may be too naive to know or to compare this film with other korean films made in the past where sex scenes are important in building the story.
I just saw this movie the other day and I love it. It was beautiful. To be honest, I had no problem with the love scenes because they were essential in being there to show the growing love and sexual attraction between Hong Lim and the Queen. The gay scene wasn't bad but a little messy looking, that's just my opinion. I wanted to read other people's interpretation of what happened in the movie. IMO I think Hong Lim really was in love with the queen. There are so many indications of it in the film. Like the sachet he bought her and him returning to the palace just to see here even though he was suppose to be investigating the attack on the king. The scene after their night of passion when she tells him she loves by making those flower rice cakes for him. You can see it in his face that he felt the same way. I also think he did love the king but more as a subject or out of duty to the king. I read somewhere a person wrote how the things Hong Lim did for the king was out of duty for the king while the things he did for the queen was for love of the queen. In the end he was willing to make so many sacrifices just for her. When he thought the queen was dead he knew that had to avenge her but also I think he knew he was going to die in the process. That's why he was no longer fearful of what would happen because the person he truly loved was gone. My interpretation of the end when he saw the queen and turned his face towards the king when she was removed from the room was, IMO, a sign of gratitude towards the king for not killing her. Others say it was him realizing that he truly loved the king but I don't believe that was the case. The king was in a one-sided love affair and never got the love he wanted from HL returned. Every time the king would give him a chance to come by side HL would either reject it or break his promise to the king.
Anyway, I do wish there was more intimacy between the queen and HL. Not so much sexual intimacy bc there was a lot of that but emotional intimacy that gave the audience a better understanding of the growing love between them. Scenes like the sachet one or the one when she gave him the embroidered handkerchief or the flower rice cakes were really nice. But also think if the director had put anymore scenes the movie would have been nearly 3hrs long.
Also, those sex scenes didn't seem all that simulated. I've seen my share of sex scenes in movies and not many of them looked as real as those in this movie. Even my friends don't think it was simulated they think they were really getting it on in those scenes. Their parts were rubbing each other way too much. Just my opinion. Sorry for being a little graphic there.
All sex scenes, except pornographic ones, are simulated, my friend. They look real to you, very real to you and your friends, because they're just great actors. Song Ji Hyo said in a media interview that she was not worried about baring her body in FF but she was more concerned about getting her body positions right and her facial expressions had to be on cue for the camera. She also had to explain to her parents beforehand why she had to bare her body for this role, since she also had to disrobe for her earlier movie. If you had watched Jeon Do Young's performance in an early film, Happy End, you'd be even more amazed at how graphic she and the actor was in their opening sex scene.
What we see onscreen are two bodies rubbing each other. What we don't see are the 10 or more people standing behind the camera - director and filming crew - watching these two actors 'get it on'. With so many people watching the two actors, do you really think JIS and SJH were actually having real sex, and not pretending? Actors and actresses who perform in these sex scenes are naked but they're actually wearing special body tape to cover their groins...I know many of you think they're really as naked as taking a bath...not because they're 'shy' and not for birth control but for simple personal hygiene reasons.
In filmmaking, everything is made real and believable, including gunshots. When you see a person in a movie get shot nowadays, you see multiple bulletholes and blood spurting out...are you going to tell me that the actor really got shot? Same like sex scenes, it's simulated all the way and 10 or more people are filming the actors, and they have to do that sex scene more than a few times to get the director's approval. So welcome to the real world of make believe, and that's called movie making.
^ Yeah I know the scene were simulated. I'm pretty well informed on how these scenes are made. I just saying that the actors really gave their all to make it as real as possible. Some actors are not that bold. I commend them for doing something that is most likely was out of their comfort zone for the sake of the movie. Love scenes can be really nerve racking for an actor to do because of the fact that, in most cases, they are baring themselves for millions of people to see. JIS and SJH did an amazing job conveying the passion and love that grew between them during those scenes. The realism of the scenes made you between what was going on between these characters that one of the reasons why I didn't mind all those sex scenes.
Many other fans have posted on youtube behind-the-scenes snippets of FF and NGs. Here's one of them and for those interested, just look at 'related videos' on the right, and you can check out the NGs in making FF.
movie was a lot better than I had been expecting it to be, it was beautifully directed and the acting was on point for the most part (Song JiHyo was surprisingly good as the queen and Jo InSung has definitely improved over the years).
I had read about how graphic the sex scenes were and was curious as to how they would turn out but it really wasn't that bad (Lust, Caution still has the most graphic sex scenes I've ever seen in a movie) however, although I didn't necessarily have a problem with the graphic nature of the scenes, I think a few of them were unnecessarily long...
in any case, the ending was so sad, but then again, I don't think that a happy ending could have been possible, particularly because the King is literally driven to the point of insanity by his love for HongLim.
Honestly I was really disappointed with the gay bed scene...many people gave rave review about it. Saying it was shocking. I was not shock at all, in fact in movies like No Regret have even more shocking scenes then this.
