"Once you overcome the 1 inch tall barrier of subtitles, you will be introduced to so many more amazing films."
-
imagine being mad at people for speaking their language
-
this has nothing to do with their accents or english or anything, but their whole vibe reminds me of 2 students presenting a project haha
-
they give off a “teacher and his personal apprentice” vibe.
-
Imagine watching a 2 hour movie in Korean to complain about a 13 minute video occasionally being in Korean
-
Every time Bong asked “ why” I got anxiety.. I felt like I was in my literature class lol
-
it’s so cute how he’s just drawing hearts and stars everywhere
-
Bong Joon-ho: that's you :) Choi Woo-shik: that's me (:
-
Director Bong: why? Me, completely uninvolved in the making of this movie: sweats profusely
-
I love that director bong kept asking woo-shik “why” right before he’d elaborate. Reminded me of one of my favorite university professors, so thought provoking.
-
The guy on the left is Canadian-Korean! In case you were wondering.
-
Bong Joon Ho underlining the word “pretend” saying that it’s a crucial word reminded me when dahye (rich daughter) said that her brother is pretending to be an artist and then jiwoo (poor boy) tells her to write in English using the word “pretend” twice. And by that time, only 2 of the family members were “pretending” to be someone they’re not
-
I love how Bong quizzes the actor like a teacher and student! "This is a very important moment. Why?" lol
-
I wish they had just let them speak in Korean, it would allow them to actually explain the scenes the way the want to and with more complexity. They ARE Korean
-
Here's an idea. Instead of talking about the 1% of negative comments, let's talk about how amazing this movie was and how much of a genius Bong Joon ho is.
-
I also think the bit with the stinkbug was very symbolic. It's an undesirable, stinky pest that the father flicks away, foreshadowing Mr. Park's reaction to Mr. Kim.
-
The amount of detail and symbolism in this movie is out of this world
-
Stops. Circles. "Very funny face right there." My kind of people.
-
I really liked how the director tends to ask the actor "why" when explaining something, it shows that he likes that kind of dynamic of teacher -student, and I think that speaks volumes on the way he directs because he cares that his actors really get to understand the meaning behind what he is doing for the movie or character they're playing....well that´s my point of view :)

this has strong “there’s an odd number of kids in class so i had to partner with the teacher” vibes
