The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Bong Joon-ho
- The mother’s love for her child is very strong in Korean society – almost on the borderline of being an obsession.
- I think each film should be regarded as its own specific text.
- My favourite genre lies inside myself, and as I follow my favourite stories, characters and images, it sums up to a certain genre. So at times even I have to try to guess which genre a film will be after I’ve made it.
- The multilevel, the conscious and the unconscious, is natural when I write scripts, when I come up with ideas and stories.
- I don’t intentionally make my films with the express goal of surprising the viewer.
- There is a lot of extreme emotion in Korean film. It’s because there are a lot of extremes in Korean society.
- I’m sure mothers are important across every culture, but particularly in Korean society, the role of the mother is of great importance.
- I have a group of cafes and coffee shops that I go to regularly. They usually have an area where I can plug in my computer and have a corner seat where I can do a couple hours of writing or whatever, even the noise of the surrounding people walking by. Those things are the things that stimulate me into writing.
- I have a complex feeling about genre. I love it, but I hate it at the same time. I have the urge to make audiences thrill with the excitement of a genre, but I also try to betray and destroy the expectations placed on that genre.
- I love the Japanese director Shohei Imamura. His masterpiece in 1979 called, the English title was ‘Vengeance is Mine.’
