Movie was way too long, 2 hours of dragginess; could have been cut down to 1 hour. Seriously, the 2 minute trailer on youtube told the whole story.
I think the producers spent all their money on table tennis coaching for the actors. Therefore, the strokes and techniques are the most realistic I've seen so far. (compared to ping pong(japanese film), ping pong playa, and balls of fury) With that said, actors are still actors. You're still watching under 1000 usatt players, and you need lots of close ups and camera shakes to cover that up. "Top Spin" the coming documentary will blow this "As One" away on TT action, as they are using professional TT players. If you've seen clips, you know what I mean. I really don't recommend this film to Chinese people, as they mock and belittle Chinese in this film. To sum it up: Really good trailer. Long and boring movie. Decent TT action for amateur actors. Not for the Chinese audience.

Most importantly, they serve up to 20:20 and continue to serve... |

By the way, I was watching it and I thought to myself - how can that be? Korean players serve three points in a row which is impossible... That's when I realized how completely I have switched my brain to the 11-points format ![]() |

Globe999, power7 pretty much got it down. In Korea, it would be best if parents were along and in USA it would depend on how it gets translated and subtitled whether it would be a PG movie or not.

Definitely xxx or nc-17 rating. Politics is worst than sex or violence in movies. I'd recommend the classic "Old Boys" for children. just kidding. I'd be surprised if this film has a sex scene or inappropriate violence. Given how Korean drama are structured there will be 1 hospital scene, 1 misunderstanding scene, 1 random crying scene, 1 self sacrifice scene. Everyone will have perfect hair and make up all the time. I will be getting ticket when it opens in my market, even though i know the ending already.

I think only when Chinese or japanese was spoken only briefly, but if this movie comes out on DVD, it will likely have subtitle options.

hey guys, here's the trailer with english subs as well as a teaser:
http://twitchfilm.com/news/2012/04/full-trailer-for-korean-ping-pong-drama-as-one.php . I really hope we can at least torrent it or something here soon. BH-Man its awesome that your club members were able to go and see it. I wonder if its showing in any theaters in the Washington DC area. 보고 싶어~. If anybody around here wants to go see it and we find a place to watch I'd be more than down. |

I am not sure what you mean - but here is Kalinic playing Waldner (I am sure you will recognize Waldner ) in that team final of WTTC 1991. |

Is Kalinic the guy who is always with Alexander Karakasevic in recent years whenever Karakasevic competes?
(Giving advice to Karakasevic in-between games - acting like a coach but probably is a close friend.) Edited by skip3119 - 05/07/2012 at 11:10pm |

Somehow I don't see that happening, do you have other info? I'm looking forward to seeing this on a DVD with Chinese subtitles imported from Hong Kong ![]() |

Yeah, I saw that too. He is such a gigantic guy and playing with a penhold grip must have been pretty uncomfortable for him - it certainly was (for me) rather uncomfortable to watch him ![]() |

Kalinic beat Steffen Fetzner during a key match in the team competition that year. His penhold blocks and pushes really throw off his opponents.

Korean movies are often very emotional, you don't need to be Korean, just understanding

Then I watched the men's final - for the love of God I cannot figure out how Kalinic managed to be such a high-rated player, he plays so awkwardly... but then again, video is not the best player-rating tool as we all know. The guy took a game off Appelgren with that technique... |

Yeah, I just watched that, LOL.
Apparently, first Yu Sun Bok (715) beat Den Yaping, then Hyun (714) beat Gao Jun, then Hyun and 713 (Li Bun Hui ??) lost the doubles, then Deng defeated Hyun 2-0 and finally Yu beat Gao Jun 2-0 in two very close games. Must have been extremely nerve-wracking match... |

Youtube has women's singles final but I didn't find any clips from team final...
By the way, i couldn't even find the scores. I only know that surprisingly enough the main contribution in that victory was made NOT by Hyun Jung-Hwa nor by Li Bun Hui, but by Yu Sun Bok who managed to beat both (!!) Den Yaping and Gao Jun. By the way, a quote from interview with Hyun: Q. Tell me about Li Bun-hui. What’s her personality like? A. She wasn’t a particularly adorable person. (laughter) She had been such a prominent player from a young age that she was at the same rank as leaders in the North. She was a little arrogant probably because of her status as a national hero. She always had a Kim Il-sung badge on her uniform. One day I asked her for fun, “What’s that?” Then she blew her top. |
