Now, with “Parasite” — which is reportedly set to become the basis for an HBO limited series — director Bong Joon-ho has achieved the sort of global recognition many feel he has always deserved
Has Oscar style strayed to the casual side? You be the judge.
As positive word-of-mouth around “Parasite” gathered steam in the fall at the Telluride and Toronto Film Festivals, many wondered if it could follow the path of last year’s Alfonso Cuarón-directed “Roma” andto score a best picture nomination, a feat that fewer than a dozen international films have ever pulled off in the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ 92-year history.
Speaking to the Los Angeles Times at Telluride in September, Bong said he felt the film’s depiction of thehad the potential to resonate with audiences everywhere, even if he couldn’t then imagine how big the #BongHive would eventually grow. “Of course, on the surface level, all of the details, the mannerisms, the people and the visual elements are all very Korean,” Bong said. “But the topic of the gap between rich and poor lends itself to being so universal. I think every country has their own structures and conflicts regarding class. But when you really delve deep into the cave of capitalism and explore the sort of infinite darkness of it, you find a similar sort of mechanism flows throughout.
“I hope this serves as an inspiration for young filmmakers in Korea,” Bong told The Times after the Oscar nominations were announced. “I never create films for the sake of the country, but I think it’s great that a film I created for personal reasons ends up contributing to the entire industry.”
