bong joon-ho and how everything is a class strugle

Boon Joon Ho (봉준호) is a South Korean filmmaker and Sociologist, born in Daegu in 1969. He enrolled to studied sociology in 1988 in Yonsei University at Seoul, it was there when he started his first film project, as he was part of a film club named Yellow Door. Finally around the 90's he did a two year program in the Korean Academy of Film Arts. His movies are known for tal about social issues, and because its dark and sarcastics humour and his abrupts tone shifts. He is now globally know for being the director of Parasite, the first non-english film who has ever win the Oscar major prize: Best Picture. The film took home the "Best Director", "Best Original Screen-play" and "Best International Feature film" statue as well.

I didn't knew him until Parasite was release, I watched it because an actress I really like (Park So Dam) played a major role in it. However, I felt in love with the way he portraits class issues in the film, as a sociologist, he really took a lot of thing into account at the time he created the screenplay and filmed the movie, how he portrayed the families, the protagonist and the rich family the work for, I feel like somehow he managed to put a LOT of information and used a lot symbolic ways to represent different class issues such as, and I'm talking about the bare minimun but rarely mentioned: the smell. I want to do something like that in the future.

“women are not made whole by men. women are made whole the moment they enter this world.”

After I finished She-ra and the Princesses of Power, I rewatched it a few times because I didn't feel emotionally prepared to start a new series. But then a friend I really care about said to me I should watch Anne with an E, a netflix adaption of the famous book Anne of Green Gables. And, right now, after I finally finished the third and last (at the moment) season, I don't feel emotionally prepare to start a new series, again. And I just had to say that this serie is one of the best I've seen in a while. The serie is about a 13 years old orphan name Anne Shirley, who arrives by mistake in the farm of Green Gables, were the siblings Matthew and Marilla Cuthberth were expecting a boy. However, Anne manages to stay in the farm despite the initial prejudices and changes the little town of Avonlea forever with her imagination and bright personality. Everything about the show: the art department, the screenplay, the characthers and also the topics its talk about, are amazin...

a person i'd like to meet and why that person is angela davis

I've admired a lot of women in my life since a young age. I was lucky that my mum was not a feminist itself but had a really anti patriarchal ideology when she raised me, so she was aware I would learn about a lot of strong independent and revolutionary women while I was growing up. So, when I read the blog topic of this week, I immediately knew I was going to write about one of them. I thought about musicians I really love like Mon Laferte or Lee Hi or Mitski, only to tell them about how much I love their music and how it help me to go through really rough times of my life. I thought about actresses I admire like Jennifer Lawrence, Lupita Nyong'o or Anya Taylor-joy (the love of my life, oh my god, I would really LOVE to met her, sure it would be the best moment of my life, but whatever) and say to them about how much talent they have and how much I appreciate their hard work in every interpretation, because they have to go through such awful things in that industry. Bu...

the soundtrack of my life aka my own coming of age movie

Okay, I've OBVIOUSLY thought about this a lot, since I love music and I love movies and I love daydreaming because life is miserable so you have to cope some how, and tbh I actually have a whole playlist about this, and I've decided many year ago that definitely a movie of my life would start with FULL MOON by Black Ghost, from Twilight (2008) so soundtrack, with a shot of me running late to work, or school, or to wherever place I’m going to, probably because something bad happened to me. that said, i really think Twilight's soundtrack was a big influence to me, since was one of the first things i heard for myself and not because my mom or my brother told me so, I met bands and musicians that keep by my side and on playlist till today such as Florence and The Machine, St. Vincent, Paramore, Muse, SIA and Sleeping At Last, and a lot of other artist that I listen casually. I think was one of the first times I really felt music on another level My music genre is kinda divers...
