It sometimes flickers into being through the presence of chance or coincidence at other times, through the extraction of the unexpected from the ordinary. “Hong’s films are always suggesting this possibility for a different world. The HFA presents the last seven films of Hong Sangsoo, the brilliant and prolific Korean director who has produced an average of one film per year for the past 26 years. Looking at you, Peter Jackson.)Īs always, thank you for reading into my thoughts.A scene from Hong Sangsoo’s film Introduction. (I also think that this book has great potential to be adapted into film. With a plot full of war and strategy, as well as the instability and perhaps predictability of human emotion, this story is sure to appeal to those whose minds tend to crave action and adventure. This story takes the reader through what is supposed to be the traditional ceremony of recognizing the humans who embody the Morrigna and its aftermath, but this specific ceremony is anything but traditional. The Morrigna’s duty and purpose is to protect all who call Ireland home. At the center of Ireland’s ardor, a substance that acts almost like a conduit for magic, is the Morrigna, a goddess who takes human form in a set of twins, Aisling and Anya. Magic is a very well-known and sought after possession in this time and age, and those in power will stop at nothing in order to be the one in charge of the last piece of land dripping with it, which is naturally Ireland.
By tying in biblical references, as well as utilizing the age-old assumption that ancient Ireland is a place of awe inspiring mystery, he successfully makes magic as ordinary as the wind and rain. Tompkins created a story that makes magic believable. Actually, I believe it took me longer to read this book than it has taken me to read any book… That fact should not cause you to think that its entertainment factor is lacking it isn’t, I just could not get into it at first. This book took me longer to read than I’d like to admit.
