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.

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...

a country i would like to visit!

First of all, there are many-many countries I would like to visit, so it's a question that request a lot of thinking for me. I can't choose only one, I think, so I would say first of all Mexico. I have always wanted to travel to Mexico, I think it's such an interesting place witch a rich culture. Visually, I like everything, their art, their architecture, and culturally too, I'm very interested in their history and cosmology, and although I think I might have a few problems with the food, since I'm no really into spicy things, I'm willing to try as much as my paladar allows me if one day I get the chance to go there. Also I must admit that I would like to go with my mom, since she is really a fan of Mexican culture too and I think a grand part of why I would like to go is for her.  There are many countries in Latinoamerica in general I would like to go, but if I get the chance to leave the continent, I would like to go to Asia and go to Korea. I've been thin...

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...
