Korean Psycho

When the first soundtrack of the film played, I couldn't help myself. Grandma Jin Huizi's "weird" dance on the barren wheat field is even more maddening. Feng Junhao's work that has been dormant for four years, the Cannes exhibition is also highly praised, and some people say that the mother should replace the bat in the main competition unit. How can such a work not be expected?

But starting from the wheat field at the beginning, I can't help but sigh how nostalgic Feng Junhao is. The golden wheat fields that appear at the beginning and the end, the rainy nights that are constantly interspersed, and of course there is no shortage of the type characters in Feng Junhao's past movies, the mentally handicapped youth (the monster is the mentally handicapped middle-aged) and the incompetent policeman. The eldest brother Park Chanyu just summed up the classic elements of his past movies in the new film, and the younger brother Feng Junhao played the same way in the fourth feature film. Of course, the new element is the mother element that the family has been missing in Bong Joon-ho's past movies.

The biggest spoiler is the title Mother. Although the foreign words in Korean occupy the majority, but not so many to the extent that "mother" is also used when calling one's mother. Because of the poor English pronunciation of Koreans, the pronunciation of "mother" and "murder" in Korean English is almost the same. You should also know about Bong Joon Ho's new story, right? Is this also self-deprecating?

Feng Junhao is not only laughing at himself, but the first half of the film also "taunts" it is made in China. It is said that although the "notoriety" made in China is well known to the world, is it more comical to use this burden on Korean ginseng?

Hitchcock's influence is so great that the pioneers of the new wave have demonstrated Hitchcock's position in film history, and many also claim to be Hitchcock's masters. So you can't expect a young director to resist Hitchcockian temptations. Kim Ji-woon's Kimchi Western disappointed Western fans, wondering if Bong Joon-ho's Kimchi-flavored Hitchcock-esque thriller could satisfy Hitchcock fans. Of course, as a true Hitchcock fan, you can also give up this film, because you have seen the original version of Psycho, you know everything, and there is nothing to chew on, unless you are very obsessed with the taste of pickles.

I've spoiled a lot.
