Non-existent Korean nobility

The story is not difficult to understand.

Contrived, piled up images, and abused metaphors.

It is frank and contrived to have the charm. Otherwise it's just twitchy.

There are always some Koreans who fantasize about the life of European aristocracy, aesthetic deformities and aesthetic self-castration. Kitsch is false. Both are. The male protagonist must always play the piano while teasing his sister, or even doing it while playing; the pervert must have a suit and leather aristocratic temperament to whip you with a whip and belt; murder and sex must always have red wine; the house must be big, just an old servant. The elite formula of Korean movies. I made an American movie, but only changed white actors, still talking about the exquisite life of Korean aristocrats. If the actor is changed to a Korean, he still has the temperament of and , who is a nouveau riche. As a Korean audio-visual language is all traces of Europe and America, but the world does not need a Korean face Hitchcock. As an American movie, it is full of rigid lust for American life, but there is no shortage of Koreans who tell American stories in the world. Catering, it won't work. Quentin’s killing of Bill did not turn into a simple western cowboy duel, and Ang Lee’s Brokeback Mountain did not turn into a Chinese love story. It’s better to talk about everything that fits the background and is logically self-consistent.

Mediocrity is the mediocrity of self-positioning.

To achieve the ultimate skill, the competition is the pattern and position. It's okay to watch when mtv.

    Park Chan-wook's style is getting stronger and stronger, and the narrative is becoming less and less important. The image of Matthew Goody is very well created here. The belt is stringed with desire and violence, which is too imaginative.

    The script is really bad, especially the beginning. Soy sauce characters are very strange. But the taste of Park Chan-wook is still there, and the later stage (including the sound effects) is more refined. Also, the NYU classmates laughed so strangely!

Stoker quotes

  • India Stoker: Have you ever seen a picture of yourself, taken when you didn't know you were being photographed, from an angle that you don't usually see when you look in a mirror, and you think: "That's me... that's ALSO me." Do you know what I'm talking about?

    Whip: I think I do. So you are surprised at yourself? Does that mean you are not afraid of being touched anymore?

    India Stoker: Please don't spoil it.

  • Pitts: Hey, Stoker, I'm talkin' to you... Or do you go by Stroker now, because I hear that's what your mom been doing... to your uncle. Have you been getting in on that?
