    In the first movie I watched with Brother Runhe, he said that monsters are also lonely. After thinking about it for many years, although I think Koreans are so stupid, 오빠 always has some weird ideas, but his special Korean side is very...

    Pouring formalin down the drain at the beginning is really...getting better after that. Created a monster with a dinosaur model that generally has no self. There is really nothing to watch except for the few scenes in the trailer that have been eye-catching. It's too childish to insist on political...

    I didn't expect to be deceived by this name and type for so many years. It should not be said that it is "The Monster of the Han River", but "The Monster of Korea" may be more appropriate. Bright irony and political drama, and the record box office once again makes people think about the public meaning behind it. In contrast to us, the current hit and box office record is actually a pink movie. Sadly, it is not easy to open up the wisdom of the people. The road is...

    Korean films like this are always full of warmth and funny, the plot is still relatively compact, but the prelude is a little longer, which is more...

    A kind of violent aesthetics. The chasing, running and jumping in the previous paragraph is just a licensed Korean movie. The last human-beast war filled with yellow smoke was a fatal move, which hit the national character and national pain. Korean movies have said that people are monsters and the system is a monster for so many years. In "Monster of the Han River", in the face of real monsters, you can see the helplessness under the blood and the fear behind the...

    Family film, in the name of horror

    Negligible horror and non-negligible "monster"
        In all film introductions, "Monster of the Han River" is defined as a thriller disaster film, or even a science fiction film. It sounds as if the protagonist of the film should be the mutant monster. The beginning of the film is also based on...

    How far are we from Korean movies

    When I saw Yu Mama plagiarized Aunt Qiongyao's TV series (perhaps it couldn't be called a TV series), and it was still broadcast on stage, I was really heartbroken for Chinese TV movies. Smecta in South Korea is satirizing the government. We I am still copying my own... I want to watch "The Monster...

The Host quotes

  • Park Gang-Du: [Strapped to an operating table, his head encased in a strange looking protractor-like contraption with a needle attached to it] You're talking about a virus that doesn't exist. Mister, they said there's no virus. So, you should let me go now.

    [He starts to sob]

    Park Gang-Du: My daughter Hyun-seo is under Wonhyo bridge.

    [Panicked]

    Park Gang-Du: I need to go quickly. Please let me go. Okay, mister, huh?

    [Suddenly, angrily]

    Park Gang-Du: You shitheads! You bastards!

    [Panicking desperately again]

    Park Gang-Du: Please, mister, I beg you, let me go. I'll give you my food stand, okay? I'll give the rights to you.

    [One of the doctors begins drawing a pencil mark on either side of Gang-du's forehead]

    Park Gang-Du: What are you doing? Please, mister! Wait!

    [We hear drilling, and Gang-du half-cries, half-quavers]

    Park Gang-Du: Fuck! This is driving me crazy! I really need to get to Hyun-seo!

    [He hyperventilates]

    Park Gang-Du: Mister! Please, save me! What is this? Please!

    [as the needles edge further to his head, Gang-du sobs hysterically]

    Park Gang-Du: Hyun-seo, I'm sorry. Daddy...

  • Park Hie-bong: I received a complaint from Mat Number 4. Their squid had only nine legs. Did you eat one?

    Park Gang-Du: No.

    Park Hie-bong: Don't deny it. Why touch other people's things? Think of it from the customer's perspective. A squid. The torso tastes delicious, but the legs, especially the longest one, has something special, right?

    [He pulls a half eaten squid leg out of the pocket of Gang-du's hoodie]

    Park Hie-bong: [Thrusting a tray into his son's arms] Take this to Mat Number 4. Tell them it's on the house.
