I thought it was a horror movie, but I thought it was a nonsensical comedy, but in the end I found out that there are actually a lot of political metaphors hidden in it, I hope I didn't overinterpret...

The most outstanding thing about Feng Junhao is his scheduling of group performances. In the same scene frame, what difference can the placement of two people and 20 people make, and how to make every actor who fits into the frame, no matter how small, not function. It was reduced to a far-focus background version but to create a schedule visible to the naked eye. This kind of skill can be described as pure blue in Feng Junhao's hands. That's why he was able to make such a film with such a...

Feng Junhao's understanding of genre films is deep enough. On the one hand, it is reflected in several subtle anti-climax settings, and on the other hand, there are a lot of metaphors. When I realized that the Han River Monster was shot after Hobbes' Leviathan, even the low-quality special effects could make sense for...

The archives re-read and found more details. Political satire, black humor, Feng's label group drama is excellent, and good films with too low scores are given five stars. The big monster can destroy the invisible, which is a metaphor for seeing blood by tricks. As far as horror movies are concerned, the moving and still editing and the atmosphere of the scene are also very good, and the theater is...

8.1 In my opinion, this is an anti-type in the tone of a genre film. Monsters are not powerful but domineering. Controlling public opinion and dangerous elements is an important job of the government. Through the appearance of monsters, he satirized many social and political problems in South Korea. Feng Junhao's ingenious conception as always is the fundamental reason why he was able to win the Palme...

Ultraman drama without Ultraman
I have seen a movie about monsters a long time ago, neither the movie poster nor the cast aroused my interest. I didn’t
even have the curiosity to take a closer look at the plot,
especially when I was dazed and seemed to understand that it was a movie about monsters . Movies like this are even more... -

The Host
Visually stunning with a fantastic vibe throughout the film. The host is definitely not without its massive holes and plot holes (or simply I didn't understand them), but it doesn't seem to care as it delivers a truly memorable film. Love the humorous vibe throughout the film despite the grim...

US Doctor in Morgue: Mr. Kim,
[running a finger along the counter]
US Doctor in Morgue: I hate dust more than anything.
Young Korean Doctor: Oh, I will clean again.
US Doctor in Morgue: You don't have to clean up now. Why don't you dump this first?
Young Korean Doctor: That's formaline.
US Doctor in Morgue: Formaldehyde, to be precise. To be even more precise, dirty formaldehyde. Every bottle is coated with layers of dust. Pour 'em into the sink.
Young Korean Doctor: Excuse me?
US Doctor in Morgue: Just empty every bottle to the very last drop.
Young Korean Doctor: It's just - They are toxic chemicals, and the regulations state...
US Doctor in Morgue: Pour them right down the drain, Mr. Kim.
Young Korean Doctor: If I pour them in the drain, they'll run into the Han River.
US Doctor in Morgue: That's right. Let's just dump them in the Han River.
Young Korean Doctor: But, you know, this is not just any toxic chemicals...
US Doctor in Morgue: The Han River is very broad, Mr. Kim. Let's try to be broad-minded about this. Anyway, that's an order. So, start pouring.

Park Nam-il: [Points his gun precariously at Gang-du, who is sitting on the other side of the room, sound asleep] Look at that... Isn't that amazing? In this situation?
Park Nam-Joo: Wake him up, there's no time.
Park Hie-bong: Let him sleep a minute. He needs to sleep every so often.
Park Nam-il: Should we leave him here? He's no help anyway.
Park Hie-bong: Kids, wait a minute. Sit down. In your view, is Gang-du really so pathetic?
Park Nam-il: Yup.
Park Nam-Joo: Yes.
Park Hie-bong: You wouldn't know it, but he was a really smart kid. For example, when he was two, he'd sit in front of the village store, and everyone walking by would ask him directions. That's how smart he looked. As you know, when he was young, I was out of my mind, hardly ever coming home, staying out all night. And this poor boy with no mother, he must have been so hungry. Going around, doing seo-ri all the time. Raising himself an organic farm. Whenever he got caught, he'd get beaten up. In this way, he lacked protein when he needed it most. So that's why, every now and then, he dozes off like a sick rooster. I think something up there...
[He gestures to Gang-du's brain]
Park Hie-bong: ...must have gone wrong too.
[Nam-il starts as he nearly falls asleep]
Park Hie-bong: Have any of you heard it? The heartbreak of a parent who's lost a child... When a parent's heart breaks, the sound can travel for miles. So I really need to say this to you. Be as nice to Gang-du as you can. Don't scold him, okay?
