Zitat des Tages von Bong Joon-ho:
I am a fan of the monster and horror genre but that's not my style as a director.
I really love 'The Thing.'
When I was a kid, I was always watching genre movies on TV.
In Korean films there is only really a strong tradition of melodramas.
The mother's love for her child is very strong in Korean society - almost on the borderline of being an obsession.
I have a group of cafes and coffee shops that I go to regularly. They usually have an area where I can plug in my computer and have a corner seat where I can do a couple hours of writing or whatever, even the noise of the surrounding people walking by. Those things are the things that stimulate me into writing.
I have a complex feeling about genre. I love it, but I hate it at the same time. I have the urge to make audiences thrill with the excitement of a genre, but I also try to betray and destroy the expectations placed on that genre.
I think when one becomes very close to another person, it can mean loving and intimacy, but on the other hand, there's also the danger of one destructing another under the name of love. I think that is the scariest thing for me in various relationships.
I don't intentionally make my films with the express goal of surprising the viewer.
I really hate the creature film convention that says you have to wait until the end to see the monster. One hour and all you've seen is just the tip of the creature's tail.
I'm sure mothers are important across every culture, but particularly in Korean society, the role of the mother is of great importance.
The multilevel, the conscious and the unconscious, is natural when I write scripts, when I come up with ideas and stories.
