Have you ever heard the story of Typhoid Mary? The cook in the early 1900s New York who was on the run from the police because she refused to wash her hands even though she was spreading a disease?
Well, that’s who the main character Sun Hee reminded me of, in Second Life. Except her drug of choice isn’t unwashed hands…it’s lying. She’d rather jump from city to city hiding behind her lies than facing the truth.
Second Life is an indie film about how a high school student who severely lacks attention, goes about finding it. Once she learns that lies can get her the attention she always wanted, there’s no going back.
At the beginning, I sympathized heavily with Sun Hee because of her parents’ extreme lack of acknowledgment. But as the story went on, I realized she’s a lost cause.
Rating: 6/10
This type of film is my favorite genre. Love an indie film to infinity and beyond, Plus it had the perfect pacing. The actors were also great. Enjoyed the visual/cinematography. I really don’t have anything bad to say about the movie, it was a smooth watch. I gave it a 6.5/10 because although it is good film. It didn’t really captivate me.
