  • Join us for a rare and illuminating journey into the cinematic world of one of South Korea's most versatile writer-directors, Bong Joon Ho! A true cinephile at heart, his work boldly reflects his eclectic taste. From drama to genre, from fantasy to true crime (often with a layer of dark humour), films such as Memories of Murder, The Host, and Snowpiercer have garnered Bong Joon Ho a worldwide audience, with fellow auteurs Guillermo Del Toro and Quentin Tarantino ranking among his biggest fans. His most recent film, Okja, released by Netflix, created quite a stir in Cannes and ignited an important conversation in the industry around distribution strategies and Festival eligibility, all the while enchanting audiences - including those who saw the film at TIFF Bell Lightbox this summer as part of a complete retrospective of Bong’s work. Tarantino once declared that "Bong Joon Ho is like Steven Spielberg in his prime," and luckily for us all, he has more stories to tell.

    I think what makes Bong and Stanley Kubrick so great is they're completely unapologetic with their films. As long as it looks good and has a interesting story to tell, that's it. Whereas other makers like Tarantino, Scorcese, Coens, etc. seem to have the audience in mind. Set up characters here, shock audience there, intensify drama here, lighten mood there, feel good ending, and all should be happy. Bong, like Kubrick ends his films with questionable hope. Was justice truly served? Is there possibility another monster will return? How exactly will humanity survive in the future? His scope is so vast, yet his stories so simple. Or vice versa? And yes, as long as people hang art in their homes, they will go out to the movies. Bong is a fantastic artist that should be seen by many for decades to come!

      Yeah, because when I think of Raging Bull, No Country for Old Men and Reservoir Dogs, I think 'feel good ending'

      @somewherelongago 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Just because a film isn't some sort of social commentary or an exploration into human existence doesn't mean it can't be unapologetically the director's vision.

    • @tatyanamelnikoff9578
      @tatyanamelnikoff9578 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      the only director who ended his movie with real hope--for this year's academy awards and if that's what anyone's focusing on anyway--is tarantino. scorcese treats violence as violence and doesn't philosophize anything beyond that. cohens treat violence as a form of entertainment, as usual. bong is open and objective and treats violence as a rational justification. wth.
      i think when bong first structured this specific script, he started with one very simple idea, then built on that. a western mind. and the audience, led by interpretors, are projecting their own ideas, which bong probably didn't even think about. it is interesting how a work takes on a life of its own, while reflecting what's going on inside the overall mass mind. it is interesting that there are very very few highly individual interpretations.

    Hidetaka Miyazaki, who made the game Dark Souls, also grew up piecing together English language stories. In Miyazaki's case it was reading fantasy novels/Lovecraft, and like Bong Joo Ho, as a kid he filled in the gaps for the parts of the story he didn't understand. I wonder if this allowed them to exercise their creativity young and helped able them to become masters in their crafts.

    I would've loved to ask Bong his feeling of American occupation and influence, not only for himself but South Korea as well. With Memories, and The Host, there was a cynical envy that America wasn't giving Korea as much. Or was treating Korea like backwood hillbillies that were easily manipulated. However in Snowpiercer and Okja, there's more trust to the America aspect in way of unity and progress. Yet Bong slyly makes the Americans as the ones easily manipulated when it comes to the right thing to do.
