Only God Forgives

Luke Evans was originally scheduled to play the protagonist of the film, but he quit due to a schedule with " The Hobbit ". Opie , who worked with the director of " Desperate Driving ", replaced him.
The protagonist of the film was originally British in the script, and later changed to American.
Julian (Gosling) has only 22 lines in the entire film.
Julian's mother is based on " Lady Macbeth " written by William Shakespeare and fashion designer Donatella Versace.
Refern claims that one of the characters in the book is the incarnation of the "one-eyed" in "Valhalla Rising" . This role is the Thai "Chang" played by Vithaya Pansringarm.
Refun's daughter once met a "ghost" in a Thai hotel. If in a Western country, the police would arrest him and say he was crazy. But there, people called a Taoist priest who exorcised the devil. "Soul" has a different meaning in the East, which prompted him to make this movie.
Following "Desperate Driving", this is the second Chilean director Jodo's "Tribute" film directed by Refn .
Refn's initial inspiration came when his wife was pregnant with a second daughter. At that time, he was quite existential, and felt that there was no way to vent his inner anger and violence. Therefore, he wanted to create a specific person with a physical body who mastered all the answers to questions about existence, and imagined that he would engage in a physical struggle with "God".
During Vithaya Pansringarm's performance, Refern repeatedly whispered a word in his ear, that is, "You are God".
When directing the last scene of the film, Refern claimed that he discovered that, unlike the West, karaoke can have a "religious" meaning to Thais.
The scenes of this movie are basically shot in the order of time development, and editing will be carried out on the day after shooting.
Refn said that the film can be understood as a western film, a western film that takes place in the Far East, and the protagonist is equivalent to a cowboy in the modern sense.
In the film, Julian opened his dead mother alone, which was the idea of actor Opie . The director asked him whether he would laugh or cry next to his mother's body, and Gosling replied that he would open her womb to see what was inside.
The swear word "Cum Dumpster" in the film was also Gosling's own idea. At that time, the director asked him to make a list of the most vicious words he could think of to women. The first sentence was this one.
