>Memories of Murder>The Host>Mother>Snowpiercer>Okja>Parasite >Mickey 17Aside from Memories of Murder this guy's filmography is dogshit. Why is he South Korea's most acclaimed director?
High rise was better
>>217022684Have you seen his competition?South Korean film is generally abysmal
>>217022767His only real rival is Park Chan Wook I guess. I thought No Other Choice mogged Parasite
for me it's Im Kwon-taek
>>217022684Okja is cozy to watch and I don't care what you think
>>217022786You have rocks in your head.
>>217022684His english movies are god-awful but all his korean ones are excellent.The exception is his first film barking dogs never bite, which was ok, but considering its his first feature that's expected.
>>217022684That would be Park-Chan Wook.
>>217022767their movies are so depressing. I don't watch movies to be bummed out. that doesn't mean endings have to be happy or anything. it just means that the intended entertainment value can't be depression. that's fucking dumb and gay.
Memories of Murder was a great flick until they actually caught the murderer in real life.
>>217022684Park Chan-wook and Lee Chang-dong were always better
>>217025633How is he overrated?
>>217022684South Korean movies have basically sucked for the last 15 years but I haven't looked into it enough to pinpoint the cause. It's a shame because they were putting out great stuff in the 90s and early 00s and then essentially nothing but slop for the last decade
>>217023937Why? I thought Parasite and No Other Choice both had tired social commentary, the difference was NOC actually had a good script and was a good looking movie
>>217023960Bong is clearly a westaboo like Hideo Kojima
Mom Dong Suck Chads unite
>>217022684Parasite was actual dogshit. Hollywood just lapped it up because of muh wealth inequality
>>217022684Hong Sang Soo >>> This murica wannabe.
>>217022684Memories of Murder is one of the worst movies ever made. What are you talking about.
>>217029333He must have a stipulation in his contracts like The Rock where he can never lose a fight in a movie
>>217029568Spicy take friend. Why didn't you like it?
>>217022684That's just Korean directors. This guy never made another good movie after Oldboy
>>217022684Mother is great. Hated Mickey 17 so much though I’m about to give up on this guy going forward
>>217022684More like Bung Hole
>>217022684I liked The Host.
>>217027040Is this good or is it love triangle slop?
>>217030169Those are not mutually exclusive. As it stands it's less of a love triangle and more of an incel gettting so mindbroken by a rich chad that he ends up imagining him as a serial killer and projecting all his hatred of the world against him.In essence the film is another Korean exploration of class and wealth inequality but way more subtle and less spoonfed as ParasiteProbably the best incel film as well, better than Taxi Driver and the like
>>217022684Chanwook Park is better
