Trust me, I am well aware of this time period in history and how tragic it was. I don't believe that image to be in good taste, no matter what the subject matter!

Check out the art work for 'The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas' for instance. That's subtle and poignant without being too heavy handed.

To be fair, this was a particularly important moment right from the film. It's one thing to not like it as a cover but I disagree that it's in poor taste. Frankly, it's a good representation of what you're in for with this film.

 

[meth head]

There are many important moments during the film, that's just one of them. I'm not convinced the audience need that image in order to gauge the tone of the film? I'm pretty sure the majority of people watching this film know exactly what to expect from it. I just think it's heavy handed, and that image just doesn't sit well for me as the box art.

 

[Zyrin]

I voted for the black cover and swapped everything over to that one, so I agree in part. I just don't think it's in poor taste is all.

 

[meth head]

Poor taste, indiscreet, call it what you will, I didn't appreciate it, and therefore opted for the lenti edition.

Really? Little childish I think!

Okay, I might have intentionally been a little antagonistic because it was you, but I think it's an incredibly powerful image. One of the best slip cover/steelbook packages EVER. PERIOD.

 

[meth head]

Then I am incredibly happy for you

It's difficult to convey a certain tone on a message board, but my intention was 'banterous' given our history of bantering.

 

[earthscope]

It's a tragic work. What do you want on the cover? People chilling out having a whale of a time at the fun fair?

Agree!!


I also don't think the artwork is too heavy handed! (There are many more disturbing images in newspapers and on Television today)
I studied this period in history as part of a degree course (So I'm extreamly aware of the tragic and shameful atrocities ever to be carried out in human history during the second world war) and find it perfectly suits the mood and shocking nature of the unfolding events in the film...IMO
Just as powerful, thought provoking as a painting you would see in an art gallery or museum...

Love the artwork for the Full slip box (Both of them)..... Amazing job by Novamedia and Kimchi....

Exactly mate. By the standards of the everyday for people caught up in war zones and what not, the image on the full slip is positively twee. I like your point about it being like a painting you might see in the National Gallery or somewhere like that. You're spot on and on that note I would say it's a work of art in itself.

Was finally able to secure one through a trade from a helpful ninja. Cannot wait to get the full slip in hand and see what everyone is talking about with this one.

It's still available from the Kimchi store if anyone's interested.

Yep, it's been in stock for at least a few weeks now, I believe. I can't believe it hasn't sold out yet.

I knew it was still available, but was able to help someone get what they wanted/needed as well as save some on the total charges...

Strangely it was sold out for a while then came back into stock, and has remained as much since.

I was just letting anyone who was interested know that it was still available.

Just received this today, I'll post some pics soon. I missed out on this at the initial release and was almost going to forget about it. But, I changed my mine last week. I just want to say, to those that are on the fence about this, it is worth it and don't miss out on this! Both slips are beautiful, very high quality. The attention to detail is just incredible. It is one of the best blu-ray collectible releases I own. To those that are curious, I believe my number was 1152/1500. Not sure if that means there were 348 available after I ordered or maybe mine was a return. Either way, I think this is a very underrated release!

 

[UpsetSmiley]

This is going to sound like a really stupid question but what is the difference between the non-Kimchi version at YesAsia.com and this version? I've just ordered it from YesAsia as I'm under the impression it's the same Steelbook minus the goodies.

 

[paulboland]

Just got delivery of the Full Slip
Shipped on the 11th
