    Notes: Allusions to film history; implicit protest against government. Not as good as expected, but worth watching.

The Host quotes

  • Park Hie-bong: [from a deleted scene, trying to defend Gang-du] I didn't even teach him the Korean alphabet. Then one day I saw him reading from a calendar. "Without family planning, you can't avoid poverty." Something like that.

  • Se-joo: What would you like to eat?

    Park Hyun-seo: Beer. A cold beer.
