How far are we from Korean movies
Makayla 2022-10-24 08:03:27
When I saw Yu Mama plagiarized Aunt Qiongyao's TV series (perhaps it couldn't be called a TV series), and it was still broadcast on stage, I was really heartbroken for Chinese TV movies. Smecta in South Korea is satirizing the government. We I am still copying my own... I want to watch "The Monster of the Han River" because I saw his production background. The director once saw a monster on the riverside, and the shock brought by it, he decided to make it into a movie. Before watching it, what I wanted to pursue was the excitement of the picture and the shock brought by the monster, but I didn't expect that the monster was not the protagonist at all. It was different from the Hollywood blockbuster. A family spontaneously organized to find the girl who was taken away by the monster, and brought it to the audience. More warm and touching, the film is full of satire towards the government and helplessness towards reality, it is a good film worth recalling

Officer: [moving in towards the dividing screen of plastic to insist to Gang-du] Your daughter never called you in the first place, okay?
[to Hie-bong]
Officer: Your son had a dream, but it was so real that...
[Nam-joo interrupts him by placing the flat of her hand to his chest]
Park Nam-Joo: You don't believe anything we said?
Officer: Now you're obstructing an officer in the line of duty.
Park Hie-bong: [Gently pushing his daughter away] Step back, Nam-joo.
Park Gang-Du: Officer, should I explain it again? The way it happened was...
Officer: I know, I know, I know. You yourself saw your daughter die. But she called you in the middle of the night? Does that make any sense? That's completely ridiculous.
Park Nam-il: A servant of the people, talking back like that?
Officer: Then what's your problem?
Park Nam-il: You fucking...
Park Gang-Du: Stop! This is...
[He holds up a cell phone]
Park Gang-Du: This is my daughter, Park Hyun-seo. My daughter. I'm the creature.
[He puts the phone into his mouth]
Park Gang-Du: I ate her. Okay? And then...
[He spits the phone out into a small plastic bin]
Park Gang-Du: [Choking back sobs] It happened like this. This is a sewer. You don't understand?

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.
