Wonderland

This film envisions a near-future world where people interact with artificial intelligence that mimics the deceased and those in comas. It intricately weaves multiple instances of these interactions into parallel narratives, creating a complex and layered storytelling experience. The overall tone is pleasant and visually appealing, with subtle dystopian undertones and a touch of magical realism.

The storyline provided by IMDB isn't entirely accurate. Key storylines include a deceased mother interacting as an AI with her daughter and mother, and a young woman engaging with an AI of her lover in a coma. Another major plotline involves the people running the AI service, with additional instances of the AI service in use depicted throughout the film.

The spoken languages include Korean, English, and Chinese.

I understand the frustration by some reviewers, but I wonder if they're a little harsh. This movie made me think of Black Mirror, which gets rave reviews for its futuristic dystopian themes. However this movie, which in my opinion holds the same genre, is getting beaten up for not being "complete". I think that open-endedness is part of its creativity. If you follow k dramas, you'll know the stellar cast in this film, even the smaller roles. I thought the emotions portrayed were almost heart wrenching at times. I do believe you need to be into this type of artistic genre to enjoy and appreciate it, but if you like Black Mirror, I think you should give it a chance!

With the reality and impact of AI on the horizon, the premise of this thought-provoking movie is what if a technology business could create a convincing, life-based avatar of a loved one who's died or is in a vegetative state. The business model requires you to maintain their 'life' by subscription and to pay for things they 'need' or 'want' as you interact with them. This postpones mourning for the living but creates ripples in their lives that leaves the pain of their losses fresh.

It asks what would you pay to have one more conversation with your mother or father, or hide a mother's death from young child, or watch your dead child grow up on your cell phone through an app? What if you cannot afford the service in perpetuity? What if someone lost to you comes back to life a different person than the avatar you've come to love?

Very thought provking premise, the actors were almost less important though Park Bo-Geum is always compelling.

An interesting movie that shows the capabilities of a futuristic AI and how intrincated could be with the people in the mourning of future generations. It never explain the "how" that happened, it only shows the circumstances of each individual who choose to take the services. It is a movie about boundaries, and the limits of what's real and what's not.

At the end is all about what we feel, how we face the reality and how easy or hard could be the company with someone who we love. How we can shape the memories of someone the way we wanted and how those memories of someone we idealized could be different from the real person.

I saw it in film festival amongst other indie films. It is quite good.

Enchanting yet flawed film that offers a visually stunning experience while falling short in some narrative aspects.

Themes of courage, friendship, and self-discovery are universally appealing, their execution in the film is somewhat inconsistent. The movie tends to rely heavily on exposition rather than allowing the story to unfold naturally through the characters' actions and interactions. This approach can make the narrative feel disjointed and less engaging.

It is a film that shines brightly in terms of visual artistry but falters in its storytelling and character development. It is a movie that can be enjoyed for its aesthetic beauty and moments of humor, but it may leave some viewers wanting more depth and coherence in its narrative.

Overall it is quite solid.
