Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The President's Last Bang is a 2005 Black Comedy film from South Korea, directed by Im Sang-soo. It is a satirical dramatization of the bizarre Real Life events surrounding the 1979 assassination of South Korean President Park Chung-hee.At the time of his murder in 1979 President Park had been the ruler of South Korea for 18 years. Since 1972 he had been dictator in all but name, having rammed through a new Korean constitution that made him president-for-life. President Park is a decadent lecher who cavorts with prostitutes and other pretty young women brought to him by his security forces. (The movie does not mention that Park had been left a widower when his wife was killed by a North Korean bullet meant for him in 1974.) When he is not fondling nubile women or getting drunk with his buddies, President Park is demanding a more vigorous crackdown on the unrest and political protests then roiling South Korea. The person expected to crush the protests and crack down on opposition is Korean Central Intelligence Agency (KCIA) director Kim Jae-kyu. Kim loathes President Park, as well as Chief Bodyguard Cha, head of the president's security detail, who is a rival to Kim and is discrediting him to Park.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })On the night of October 26, 1979, President Park goes to a KCIA safe house at Seoul for a party. Two women are brought in to entertain the president and provide breast pillows for his head: pop singer Shim Soo-bong and random university student Shin Jae-soon. At the party, Cha and Park go a little too far with their insults and mockery of Kim Jae-kyu. So the KCIA director, who is already in a bad mood due to his poor health, his constipation, and his irritation at having to run whores for the president, decides on the spot to murder Park and Cha.Bloody chaos ensues. | |

| The President's Last Bang / int_1235f055 | comment |
Dirty Coward: Both Cha (the chief bodyguard!) and Yang run for it after Kim starts shooting. Cha at least has somewhat of an excuse, being a target of Kim's who was shot in the arm. Yang is just a Dirty Coward, running away while President Park is bleeding heavily but still very much alive. | |

A Lighter Shade of Black | |
| The President's Last Bang / int_19fc58a2 | comment |
A Lighter Shade of Black: The film doesn't hesitate to show how brutal and without scruples the KCIA is, featuring agents laughing as they talk about the many ways they can easily arrest someone on flimsy pretext of being a communist or torturing them. And Director Kim is pushed into his murder plan in large part just because he's insulted one too many times at dinner. Still, he's shown to have doubts about crushing protestors while Cha eagerly wants them slaughtered by tanks and when plotting in secret with his men claims to be acting for democracy. | |

I Need a Freaking Drink: Kim gets the waiter's teapot and drinks the water after he ran to the adjacent house where the chief of staff was eating dinner. Soo-bong and Jae-soon retreat to a side room after witnessing the murder of Park. They start pounding vodka shots. | |

Black Comedy | |
| The President's Last Bang / int_222dc873 | comment |
Black Comedy: The tone of the whole film, as the events of the assassination and the aftermath are portrayed as a gory farce. One scene features a general barking orders on the phone while not wearing pants. Kim's gun jams after he fires one shot at Park, and he has to go off to get another one. (This really happened!) The Army Chief of Staff can't get into his own headquarters because the guards don't recognize him. | |

Chekhov's Gun | |
| The President's Last Bang / int_22cf536c | comment |
Chekhov's Gun: Or rather, Chekhov's lack of a gun. Cha angrily rejects his underling's suggestion to carry a weapon, saying President Park doesn't like the sight of guns when he's drinking. This leaves both of them defenseless when Director Kim comes in shooting. | |

Based on a True Story: A very faithful record of events. Ever since the assassination, debates have continued about whether or not it was planned or spur-of-the-moment. The film gives Director Kim dialogue indicating that he'd been thinking about assassinating Park ("We've put this off too long") while also showing that the immediate cause of the murder was Kim getting pissed off at dinner at a KCIA safehouse. | |

Take That!: When the film originally released, the Seoul Central Court required that nearly 4 minutes of footage be excised following a lawsuit by the real Park's son. Rather than edit the film around these cuts, Im Sang-soo decided to instead replace the cut portions with blank screens as a jab against the ruling. | |

Cassandra Truth | |
| The President's Last Bang / int_cf92fea8 | comment |
Cassandra Truth: When Yang insists that President Park was murdered by Kim, the initial reaction was that his judgement was affected by too much alcohol drinking. | |

Dutch Angle: A rather extreme one as Chief Agent Ju is shown from above and upside-down as he approaches Director Kim for the hurried assassination planning session. | |

Tragic Mistake | |
| The President's Last Bang / int_d965507b | comment |
Tragic Mistake: For Director Kim, agreeing to Army Chief of Staff Jeong Seung-hwa's suggestion that they drive to Army headquarters instead of KCIA headquarters in the immediate aftermath of the murder. This allows Jeong, after he finds out that Kim was the shooter, to arrest him and every other KCIA agent involved. | |
