Review: Dangerously Excited, 2012



The Korean title means "I am the civil servant". The English title is not translated well.   


Dangerously Excited is wide-released but it is an actually indie film. Only 175,000 US dollars are spent for the production. Last week it achieved the break even point, over 200,000 viewers watched it. 

It is very meaningful because it is surrounded by the summer blockbusters, for instance, The Dark Knight Rises.

One ordinary late 30s civil servant meets an amateur music band, and joins it as a bass guitarist. The little conflicts between the old/conservative official and young band members bring laughs.  

I think viewers feel a sort of sympathy, the characters are just like the people around us. They have similar thirsty to escape from the repeated, sometimes sick, daily routines. And don't we want to express ourselves and receive attention/compliment from others? Dangerously Excited gives a vicarious satisfaction. 


YOON Jae-moon, he is a good actor. It is his one-man-show.
