The scene where Chunhyang is getting beaten is really disturbing. I half expected her to shout out "FREEDOM" like Mel Gibson in Braveheart. The thing that caught my attention the most from this scene, however, was the guy beating her. Were all "executioners," for the lack of a better word, in that time period that theatrical or were his actions exaggerated for the purpose of the movie. I understand that the beatings serve as a form of entertainment for the governor, but the dancing around was a bit much.
