ALMOST COMPLETELY ORDINARY



Korean history flicks often tend to deal with the subject of monarch's doubles, as does „Masquerade”. The plot has already been seen in the Western cinematographies. Small time crook gets the opportunity to switch places with the poisoned king and passes the road from utter ignorance to a enlightened ruler over the period of just a couple of weeks in the palace.

And all of this would soon be forgotten if it weren't for the very end of the movie that reflects the deep traditional connections with the Asian film through depicting honor, loyalty and courage.

„Masquerade” is just an ordinary story, but with some strong finishing.
