THE MAN FROM NOWHERE 아저씨 Movie Reaction! | First Time Watch | Won Bin | Kim Sae-ron 

Raid is a good movie. MAN FROM NOWHERE was released a year earlier, so raid may have been inspired by it. John Wick is also known to have been inspired by MAN FROM NOWHERE.

Fun Fact: This movie was a huge inspiration to the John Wick series. Notice the suit and clean gun work/fighting with a very dark but loveable main lead.

What is unique about the action in this movie is that it is different from the action movies of the time. These days, there are many more realistic action movies, but when they were released in 2010, most action movies showed exciting beats and exaggerated martial arts, and audiences who were accustomed to repetitive action that felt like a dance show could sit comfortably on the sofa. . Without tension. I was lying down eating popcorn and watching the action scene as if I was watching fireworks. It may seem very cool to viewers who are new to spectacular action, but because all movies show such action, it ends up being seen as very boring and tension-less action. On the other hand, the action in this movie is not flashy or for show, but shows restrained action that attacks major blood vessels, major muscles, and vital points. At the same time, in the highlight action scenes, the music itself is deleted instead of the exciting beats, and instead of exaggerated shouts, the groans made when swinging the sword and applying force are heard delicately. Rather than an exaggerated impact sound, the sharp sound of blades hitting each other, This is because delicate sounds such as the sound of a sharp object cutting through the air or the sound of a knife being stabbed are heard. Additionally, the main character's dialogue is extremely limited throughout the film. If successful, it can create a sense of tension and mystery, but in general, excising the protagonist's dialogue in this way is a very difficult decision. It may seem easy when you look at the results, but at the time, it was almost impossible for a new director to make such an experimental film with the best actors. If you make a mistake, the action may seem trivial and insignificant, or it may end up being a shabby action movie compared to a blockbuster. So originally, the main character of this movie was going to be an unknown actor who looked like an old man. However, because the actor named Won Bin, who played the main character of this movie, really liked the movie's scenario and actively expressed his intention to appear, this movie was able to be made with the best actor. At the time, actor Won Bin was already a top-class actor, but compared to him, he participated in this movie at a very low cost and voluntarily practiced for more dangerous and intense action scenes. As a result, this movie showed how realistic action can be used as entertainment, and many viewers commented that they watched it with a sense of tension as if they were being stabbed, rather than watching it while eating popcorn in a comfortable position. On the sofa. In the case of Raid, it shows the wonderful martial arts of Southeast Asia, where martial arts are developed. However, the way the action is shown follows the formula of the flashy and rich martial arts action of existing Chinese martial arts action movies, so it is in a completely different direction from MFN's action. Meanwhile, the reason why director John Wick is said to have been inspired by this movie is because John Wick's actions also contain realistic gun tactics, unlike existing movies. If you are familiar with the gun action so far, which consists of one-handed gun action with infinite ammo, infinite random shooting, and flashy jumps, John Wick is said to have been influenced by MFN in that it shows action in a way that is used in actual gun tactics, such as magazine exchanges and Mozambique training. Therefore, it must be distinguished from movies like RAID. Afterwards, John Wick was also inspired by the experimental camera work used in the motorcycle action scene in the third film, a Korean film called The Villainess.

This is one of my favorite movies of all time. This inspired the creator of John Wick. It's special because it is also the last full movie the main actor played.

Professional knife fighters did a analysis of the knife fight and stated that it was a 10/10 of what to do and how to do it. Also last appearance of Won Bin in acting. The other knife fighter is from Thai so he spoke in English because he does not know Korean.

The Man from Nowhere was released in 2010 is one of the most iconic action film in Korean action film history. It opened a new era in Korean action film industry and the action scenes in Korean cinema can be divided using this movie as the turning point. It also influenced many other countries' action Cinema along with the one take hallway fight scene from the Old Boy released in 2003. These are the release dates of some of the movies you mentioned. The Man from Nowhere (2010) The Raid (2011) The Raid 2(2014) John Wick (2014) Rocky Handsome (2016) The Thai actor Tanayong Wontrakul is very well known actor in both Thailand and South East Asia. At the time of release of this movie, his starring in Korean film was highly publicized and became quite an issue in South Eastern Asia. Considering this movie was well received in South Eastern Asian market, there are great chance other action films in that region could have been influenced by this movie as well. The action sequence and choreography was ahead of its time and even in 2023 it doesn't look outdated and even interesting to the eyes of new viewers who are not familiar with Korean action films. Thank you for the great reaction. I have been waiting for the full movie reaction since you did the fight scene reaction with Megan long time ago. I almost gave up on it but here we are. Better late than never I guess. 😂🤣😂 If you liked this movie, you might also like another Korean action film The Gangster, The Cop, The Devil 악인전 (2019). Check it out. 😁

This movie was so badass that I kept expecting a sequel to come out over the years. And since the actor who played the hero quit acting after this movie, maybe the little girl grows up and becomes the protagonist in the spin off movie "The Girl From Somewhere"

Jhon Wick Raid Rocky Handsome Non of these movies come close to this Korean masterpiece The Man From Nowhere is a classic and Won Bin is a phenomenal actor

This and I Saw the Devil are 2 of my favorites. I can always watch them when there’s nothing else on. Glad you guys enjoyed it, great reaction!

2023년 막바지에 봐도... 원빈 연기가 상당한데, 아직도 후기작이 없는게 너무 아쉬움... 캬...

The guy who spoke in English is actually a Thai actor. He probably doesn't know Korean so it's better for him to speak in English anyways since he's more fluent in it. I like him and Won Bin in this movie the best. Love their fight together. The choreography was pretty dope.

This movie and I Saw the Devil (my #1) are still my two favorite Korean movies. I remember thinking the CQC fights in this movie were sick AF and the little girl really brought the feels.

the man from nowhere was screened 2010. the raid was screened 2011.

FYI :This movie released way before the raid movies !

OMG I loooooove this movie. I remember making my brothers watch it with me and they freaking loved it, too.

This movie came out before the raid 2. The Bourne Identity overdid their camera angle shifts but this one was done right and effective for me. I really liked the fight scenes because it was more grounded and realistic than the raid

This movie was my introduction into Korean cinema. I saw it around 2014. Been watch Korean movies/tv shows ever since!

This was the film that made me finally notice Korean cinema for its action. Was so darn good.

The guy with the knife saw it as a challenge because the knife was his main weapon. It's like "If I'm gonna go, I'll go my way. The warrior way" Well, that's how I interpreted it anyway.

Oh nice 😃 Next watch these please 1. The Brotherhood of War 2. OdeTo My Father 3. Miracle In Cell No. 7 4. The Wailing 5. Concrete Utopia 6. Welcome To Dongmakol 7. Okja 8. Broker 9. 71: Into The Fire 10. A Taxi Driver

Though Won Bin stopped acting after this movie came out, he has a lot of good movies under his belt. You should watch "Mother" 2009 movie. He is different in that movie but still great acting.

This is the movie that got me into Korean movies and boy is it one of my favorites to go back to

This is one of my all-time favorite movies, and I'm not really an action movie fan. This really has some depth to it.

One of my very favorite movies. I really liked all of the cast but the young girl, just melts your heart.

Before John Wick there was Man From Nowhere

If you like the noir genre like the man from now where, I recommend watching new world. This movie is based on the famous Hong Kong movie Secret Pursuit. And although there are cruel scenes, there is almost no adult Korean male who has not seen this movie.

늦었지만 오늘도 잘보고 갑니다. 두분의 리액션 너무 좋아요. 한글자막이 없어서 대화내용이 궁금한게 아쉽지만요. 자동번역은 한계가 있어요. 앞으로도 더 많은 한국드라마 한국영화 리액션 부탁드려요😍👍👍👍👍👍👍

While filming scene at 25:15 cameraman jump with actor, this shot is fantastic!

another fun fact is that john wick is actually inspired by this movie! if you think about it, john loses it over his dog as this guy loses it over the little girl. :’)

We get used to corporal punishment at an early age so brutal is the norm. One thing to note: This movie makes use of the "white truck of death" trope. Used in a lot of Korean movies and television series, the white truck of death is the usual convenient way for a character to get killed off.

Now you need to see The Gangster the Cop and the Devil, another Korean flick. If you saw Train to Busan you'd recognize the gangster.

I love this movie! Remember watching and rewatching it many times along with Tropa de Elite 1 and 2. Very powerful. One of the best knife scene in movie history as well, imo, along with Donnie Yen one with Wu Jing in Kill Zone.

어머낫!!!👍👍👍

Bollywood version of this called Rocky Handsome

한국 최고의 액션영화에요. 개봉 당시 인기가 어마어마했습니다. 리액션 영상 잘 봤습니다. 이 영화는 아직도 한국에서 최고라고 여겨지는 영화중의 하나인데 이렇게 리액션을 보게되다니 무척 반갑네요.

Here's my thought on ramrowan (karambit knife villain who spoke English). Well, since he was a Thai assassin from the movie, he couldn't speak Korean. He saved the girl because he perhaps had a past similar like tae sik (main character of this film). He shot the eyes because the eyes weren't the girls eyes and he didn't want tae sik to keep the guys eyes. They fought because they couldn't communicate with eachother. Ramrowan fought tae sik because his intention was the same as his, which was saving the girl which he did. So it was only him and tae sik at the final scene. In the fight, it seems like he just wanted to die tho. At that exact moment, he also felt that tae sik being alive for the girl would be better and ramrowan also remembers all the bad things he has done. All of that feelings mixed up made ramrowan want to die. He basically just play fought that final fight without going full force. When he is stabbed, you can see it in his face that he felt bad about the things he has done, and he feels like his death is deserved but also the sadness that he couldn't tell tae sik that the girl is alive, or any message because he doesn't know Korean.

Epic film. Nice pace with a good story. Fight scene was epic. Not overly done and realistic. But I don't think it was influenced by the movie taken. There are many Korean stories like this.

Rocky Handsome ❤

What a great movie. It was entertaining but made me get emotional at the same time. I enjoyed it very much.

That jump through the window btw is real, and the camera operator had to jump with the actor

You really should react to ma dong seok movies next - the outlaws, the roundup 1 and 2 , the cop ,the devil and the gangster Also there's a movie with ma dong seok and the little girl (all grown up now) titled Ordinary People. Awesome movie.

Ohh! So this was the inspiration for Rocky Handsome starring John Abraham...

I loved Donnie Yen in John Wick 4 but the fan(In me)of this movie thought that it would have been dope to have CHA be 1 of John's past friend who gets pitted against him to protect...His"Daughter" It would have been a cool nod to this movie(Which I thought that the John Wick movies seemed inspired by) I know that the John Wick directors are a fan of this movie

This movie is top 5 of all time, fight me lol. It's so incredibly well done.

Knife guy just couldn't let that surgeon take her eyes because she was kind to him, Giving him a band-aid

Yes, please keep this channel active....

At 11:13 the guy who speaks English is a Thai actor

22:57 that haircut scene is one legit point in the movie

This movie is a banger and a go to for me when I show people a “foreign “ film.

Someone i love showed me this movie. He took his life infront of me. I cry nonstop watching this

리액션 감사해요😊❤

very good movie

The original John👊🏿😡 f’n Wick.😉🫸🏿🫷

예고편 리액션은 6년전인가 올리더니 본편 리액션이 이제 올라오네 ;;;;

good

This is the most accurate (not necessairly realistic) modern penkat silat knife fight proposed by cinema and there is NO movement that doesn't have a reason (movement economy) 29:30 in a mess like this a trained military police intell operative (in this case) never stays in the same place, he drags a hostile cutting the tendons, (avoiding his hand to clench) while looking at the others, and then severes the radial artery at wrist level. Armpits, axillary artery and tendon. He ends up cutting the throat of the guy on the ground, he doesn't cut, he stabs next to the trachea, severing the carotid artery and jugular, (this is the real way to cut a throat, not the cinematic usual thing), pulling the knife away opens the laceration, speeding up the "process". Whoever choreographed this film is a master of the modern use of the knife. It's brutal, but it's done by the book. A trained man with a knife and nothing to lose is the most dangerous thing you can get. I don't buy the 1v1 though. Not saying realistic, but how should be done. Law enforcement is trained (if trained) in a military style of knife retenction and stabs for 3 weeks, this takes years, commitment to violence, and is studied for pure assassination.

When I saw this movie, I thought "Finally! A good looking Asian action star" Won Bin is like a taller, better looking (Sorry Jet) Jet Li. I've read about why he hadn't done any acting since and it's too bad. I think fans (me included) had been hoping that he comes back one of these days.

18:45 “He didn’t even ask them the first time.” Actually, he did mate ages ago mate. He asked the boss on the phone to let the girl and the drug mom go, then he found drug mom dead in the boot after he did what they ordered.

Rocky Handsome ( an Indian movie released in 2016) is the ditto copy of this movie.

The Raid and TMFN are very different though both use realistic applications of Kali and Silat as both close quarter fighting arts are used to train SFs around the world. TMFN was inspired by the Bourne movies who is the pioneer of the shaky cam which quickly got phased out by The Raid movies that started the wide, steady camera angles which is now the standard implemented in the JW and Extraction movies. Both are amazing for their time.

잘 보고 갑니다 😊😊

Fun fact: John Wick drew inspiration from The Man From Nowhere

I've seen this movie before it's deep, truthful and harsh.

I love this movie and recommend to everyone. Most have only seen part of the final fight scene. Thank u for not using the English dub. I think some of the story is lost.❤❤😂

So many deleted scenes... That guy he fought at the end actually grew fond of the girl and exchanged her with someone else.

한국❤특수❤부대❤30명!!❤찐중대??😊

Did anyone remind the lady that he beat the hell out of a bunch of cops in the police station and escaped custody. That is one of the reasons why the cops were after him so bad.

한국 드라마 영화 리액션 영상 정말 잘 보고 있어요^^

I love MAN FROM NOWHERE my Won bin 😍

That was a good movie.

Ohmymymy Great emotional réactions Mr And especially the nice Lady with justice words as well 💜 And Always make me tears UP everytime though !! Please do the next movie of the same director with "no tears for the dead" 😊🙏

33:40 The reason he's trying to take his own life is because HID and UDU actually took his own life when he failed his mission

Guys, as you are diving in Korean cinema please do watch Old Man, Ode to My Father, Miracle in Cell No 7 (You’ll brawl), More Than Blue, any Ma Dong Seok movies you’ll absolutely love them and many many more movie, list goes on. Pls pls plsss go through the ones above.

This movie made me cry at the end.

This Korean movie came out 2010 and The Raid 2 came out 2014. FYI

Awesome! I hope you guys do New World soon. Another awesome Korean movie.

Been waiting for someone to react to this film. This was one of the best hand to hand and knife combat.

The little girl actress, Kim Sae-ron, is now 23 years old and still working. Though she got herself in a spot of trouble last year with a drunk driving conviction. Still, she landed a continuing role in the 2023 series 'Bloodhounds'.

The Man From Nowhere > All John Wick movies combined

You guys should react to "the villainess" , that movie was inspired the moto scene in JW 3

That voice for that character was not dubbed. He's a Vietnamese worker in Korea, obviously English is a universal language.

So many people are asleep on this and I Saw The Devil

Please do more sentimental Korean movies like Miracle in Cell No.7~

I recommend you guys to watch Sunflower, another great Korean movie. Want to see what you think.

It's like he had redemption for not being able to save his wife.

저 소녀는 커서 술을 아주 사랑하는 사람이 됩니다 ㅎ

The most incredible thing the man did in the movie was cutting his own hair like that. Fck he is better than my barber

I'm a Korean guy. The film was ment to be ending his life. Which means it had to be the girls eyes. But people didn't want a very bad ending. You guys know my country makes film without mercy and very realistic specially when it's about crime. And there is a saying if his baby had be born he/she would be about somi's age

If the sequel to this movie comes out on Netflix, I'm going all in on Netflix stocks

One of my favorite Korean action movies. Watch "A Company Man" ... my favorite.

You guys have to check out the movie midnight from wi ha jun it’s a Korean movie

Huge respect for the infamous t-shirt, top three games for me🎉

When people talk about "Taken" I always tell them to watch this, a better, different version. ✌️

25:13 one of the best shots In modern cinema

If nobody else has recommended it, i would suggest you check out No Tears For The Dead. this movie and No Tears For The Dead are 2 of my fav Korean flicks

inspiration for this film is 100% Man on Fire; not Taken

Rocky handsome 😅

This is on my watch list! I saw it in my suggestions after watching The Killer

An absolute classic

React on the korean movie... No tears for the dead .
