I rate his Korean movies higher (e.g., memories of murder) than his int'l productions like Okja and Snowpiercer. bong is also excellent (and underrated) at infusing his films with doses of black humour. Overall, I rate him one of the finest korean directors ever along with usual suspects like park and kim. Jimmy Cliff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Bradley Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 MOM and Barking Dogs never bite were great watch, Bong Joon is definitely one of the finest director and story teller, big fan. Jimmy Cliff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to know you liked Bong's films. The dude is just the best. Some movies that I'd recommend in no particular order.

maniac Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Anything on Netflix or Amazon worth watching? I know they have multiple Korean movies on there but don’t want to watch any altu faltu Korean movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately the GOAT Korean film Memories of Murder seems to have been removed from Amazon Prime in the U.S. I have heard good things about this series on Netflix.

The Realist Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Watched Parasite. Good/very good in parts but not as great as the hype made it out to be - which was a bit excessive considering the thin plot and that it comes off the rails towards the end. Saying that it was still one of the films of 2019. Jimmy Cliff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okja is lovely but perhaps the "weakest" (in a relative sense) of Bong-ji's movies. I love Ghibli, so I am obviously a sucker for their movies. You may like some of Miyazaki's other films.

Global.Baba Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 (edited) Saw Parasite yesterday. Here is my take, it’s one of those movies like for example Life of Pi. I am not comparing it to Life of PI but let me explain. Everyone raves about the movie and then you are really excited to watch it and then when you finish watching it you are like ok it was a good movie but is that it? Then you go online and read the subtle message the movie is conveying, Fan theories, Explanations etc and then you have a renewed perspective of what you just watched. Life of PI, US are the other 2 examples. Get out I kind of understood the message being delivered while even watching the movie Parasite belongs to this list too, gets better with 2nd viewing once you kind of read the hidden meanings,perspectives and theories out there Edited February 2, 2020 by Global.Baba Vijy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nikred Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 It got the Best International Film award too .This time around I guess "Best foreign film" category was redundant since one of them was already nominated in the main category.It would have been silly and illogical to give it to any other movie.
