Had posted this in the OT a while back, but still a fantastic and illuminating read
This is cool

But not until Bong's second feature, Memories of Murder, did his visual style begin to gel. In another life, he would have been a comic-book artist. Bong meticulously storyboards everything he shoots, and his movies look like individual frames come to life. He sketched out every scene for Parasite and Memories of Murder himself — complete with dialogue — and for films with bigger visual effects, like Okja and Snowpiercer, he worked with an artist. "He gave us storyboards that were fully bound books," says Yeun of his experience acting in Okja. "They look like mangas, where you're just like, Oh, this is the movie."
Yeun describes the director as a "human animator." He recalls how, on set, Bong would show him a shot with stand-ins so he could picture the composition before stepping into the frame himself. "Some people get jarred by that because they don't like being told where to stand. But when you see the frame, you're like, I know what we're achieving here," Yeun says. "You feel like a color."

I read the wiki and thought it was dull as dishwater. Then everyone starts going on about it and it won some awards so clearly there's more to it. I'll give it a redbox.
reading the wiki is like listening to someone else hum excerpts from an album and using that to decide whether you'll listen to it.
Yeah. But I wasnt planning to see it anyways so I didnt have much to lose.
I posted in the other thread i think. i ended up seeing it. It was great. Glad I saw it.
I do this for shitty horror movies because they often fascinate me, but I hate jump scares.
I still have no idea what Parasite is about though. Been waiting for Bluray this whole damn time.
I read the wiki for a lot of movies I dont care to see or pay for. If there was a wiki for comics I'd just read that.
I just watched this a few hours ago. I'm still trying to process it, and I know I won't add anything new to the conversation or say anything that hasn't already been said. But that was a damn good movie.
Also, this was my face for that ending sequence after the climax.
whoops, did not notice this was a necro. sorry about that.
