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.
