Bong Joon Ho & Song Kang Ho on the Phenomenon of Parasite

Bong Joon Ho and Song Kang Ho joined Film at Lincoln Center for a special Q&A following a screening of Parasite, which continues playing daily. They discussed the worldwide acclaim for the film, the twists beyond the first act, and the future of their long-running collaboration. Get tickets for Parasite: www.filmlinc.o...
In Bong Joon Ho’s exhilarating new film, a threadbare family of four struggling to make ends meet gradually hatches a scheme to work for, and as a result infiltrate, the wealthy household of an entrepreneur, his seemingly frivolous wife, and their troubled kids. How they go about doing this-and how their best-laid plans spiral out to destruction and madness-constitutes one of the wildest, scariest, and most unexpectedly affecting movies in years, a portrayal of contemporary class resentment that deservedly won the Cannes Film Festival’s Palme d’Or. As with all of this South Korean filmmaker’s best works, Parasite is both rollicking and ruminative in its depiction of the extremes to which human beings push themselves in a world of unending, unbridgeable economic inequality. A NEON release.

The translator Sharon Choi is once again phenomenal and sympathetic.

[@da96103]

She probably already knows the answers before Bong says them.

[@thekrustaceox5181]

@@da96103 Nah. There was a red carpet press where she literally translated what the actor Song Kang Ho had answered to the reporter on the spot without even waiting for him to finish the sentence. The girl is phenomenal and deserves all the praise.

[@da96103]

That's what I mean. Except for a few minority ones, most of the questions are roughly the same ones and she knew the answers to the commonly asked ones after 2-3 months of interviews.

even after multiple q&as at flc its still fresh and fascinating and funny. he just has such a warm and wonderful demeanor, not showy or cocky when explaining his thought processes. by now hes probably done a hundred of these but he gives very considered responses and never arrogant. just makes me admire him more. go bongtail ! go get that oscar !

[@sadia2395]

He is indeed very unassumin and I recently learnt that he comes from a lineage of artists.I am amazed at his humility ☺️

[@unfoldingskin]

Director Bongs face when he hears that she wrote papers on some of his films. Lol I get the feeling he's incredibly humble. 26:56

[@adversitycartoons4050]

For me, the part I felt myself relate to the most was seeing Song Kang Ho’s character finally snap. The feeling of being apart of a group, but when it really comes down to it, you’re still on the outside, I thought was captured very well and the look in song kang ho’s eyes too.

Bong Jun Ho made more than 20 movies. Half of them were short films with very little recognitions. He was also a part time actor in the early days but he never talks about it.

Of course, Bong Joon Ho can’t really say the _real_ reason why _Parasite_ has “resonated” (ugh) with audiences around the world so he’ll joke about the wi-fi instead: it’s a *great* movie with a compelling (and, at times, hilarious) story, pitch-perfect acting, smart writing, gorgeous cinematography, and a lot more. And I _love_ how, at 2:15, while Song Kang Ho is answering, Bong is sneaking a peek at Dennis Lim’s questions and then quickly straightens up when Lim looks up-it’s like watching a little kid _almost_ get caught with his hand in the cookie jar.

[@jeff__w]

@@dragonhkss Well, his eyes lock with Dennis Lim’s for just a split second and _then_ Bong straightens up and looks straight ahead as if nothing’s happened. It’s sort of a playful, endearing moment, like a scene out of one of his movies.
