Read Dongwan's blog entry recently & found out that he bought tickets to catch a new movie in theatres during his off day from work.
The movie is called THE HOST(괴물)which was directed by Bong Joon-ho(봉준호). The story is about a monster that lurks in the waters of Hangang(Han River in Seoul), starts to attack & devour people in the territory. In this movie, it is not just simply fantasy horror movie only, it included some real-life incidents & current controversial issues in it too. Examples are in the prologue, a high-ranking U.S. officer orders the illegal dumping of toxic chemicals into Hangang(based on a real accident in Yr2000) & in another scene, American scientists claim that the monster is spreading a deadly virus which turns out not to be true in the end(seen as a criticism on U.S's false accusation of Iraq possessing biological weapons).
After reading through his entry & previewing the movie trailers, I am eagerly interested to catch this movie too! The reason that interest me to catch this movie is because the story is about Hangang, one of the place I showed in my blog (about Korea trip) before, that I wanna visit. Hopefully it will be shown here in theatres, just like King & The Clown(왕의남자)
Dongsaeng -> You should start training your guts.. hahahaa
Tan -> come back soon a'
Jo -> Indeed this is first time I heard Korea producing movies like this, it reminds me of the good old ALIENS & PREDATORS days.... Yupz~ King & The Clown was really a sad ending movie.
Pa', you know my mom was crying whe she watched K&C hehe
I don't like such a movie like alien or something that has disgusted look *yucks*
BTW, today 'ARASHI' just came here for live concert press conference. they will held a live here in Oct. And TVQX will have a live concert here too. I forget the concert date. But onething i know, I will not attend Shinhwa live >_<

wonderin how come my blog back-date to this page now?(Now is 6th Sept) well~ I wanna talk about this movie... so I set page to be back here.
I watched THE HOST last nite & I must say, this movie is really different from what I expected. It's has got a fair bit of controversial issues such as when 1 of the actor say "So what if I'm a graduate? I'm still a jobless person in the society..." & there was 1 part when the gov't had to announce that there was no virus being spread by the creature.
Besides all these, I feel the movie also promotes about "Saving/Protecting The Environment" & "Family Warmth/Love".. when we see how much united the family was, when they had to protect/save back their loved ones from the creature.
Overall~ I must say "Dongwan oppa~ It was a good movie that you recommended me. "
