Looking Back at Chan-wook Park’s 'Oldboy'
My favorite film of all time is Chan-wook Park’s Oldboy. The film defines the morality of vengeance as vile, leaving someone with nothing but despair and emptiness. Oh Dae-su (Min-sik Choi) is a man obsessed with vengeance like a psychedelic drug. He is imprisoned with nothing but food, clothing, and television for 15 years. “Laugh and the world laughs with you. Weep and you weep alone,” he says to himself. Suicide is an option, but vengeance is more important to him. Dae-su makes a list of the men and women he has caused harm to in the past realizing he himself is a sinner. He shadow-boxes rough walls until his hands are numb and knuckles bleed. His television is his source of time, entertainment, education, friendship, and religion. This is where Dae-su learns his wife has been murdered and he is the primary suspect. Escape and he is a wanted man. “Who could have done this to such a man?” I asked myself at this point of the film. These are my favorite moments of Oldboy.

Ranking the Movies of 2018: Week 9
Our classic on the Everyone's a Critic movie podcast this week was His Girl Friday, one of my favorite comedies of all time, and my mom's favorite of all time. Despite horrible rumors spread by other members of my family that claim Pretty Woman was my mother's favorite film, I can tell you, it was His Girl Friday and her all-time crush Cary Grant.

My Hereditary Cultural Erosion Experience Part II
Meant to be a sequel to my previous media review essay on the impact 80s culture in America had on me, I thought I should follow up with my reflections on the 90s and beyond to the present day. Because of the readily available consumer filmmaking tools, filmmaking is less elitist and more widespread and we are globally more connected, so the amount of media must be prefaced with a nod to what is going on outside of Hollywood, too, as a global citizen and Korean-American...So, to start off, here is a list of my foreign influences outside of Hollywood I have had regarding Asian representation:

'Back to the Future' Theory: George KNEW About Marty's Time Traveling!
One of the only things that has bugged me and everyone else about Back to the Future is the fact that George and Lorraine never realize how much their son, Marty, looks like that guy from 1955 who helped them get together in the first place, who also ended up being named Marty.

My Hereditary Cultural Erosion Experience
My mom was escaping a life defined by Korean society in December of 1971 when she arrived in San Francisco, CA, USA. I was born in May of 1972, an American citizen. I am 1.5 generation and I am the beginning of the process of hereditary cultural erosion for both me and my progeny. Unlike Black people who were taken in a time where there were very little public records of their hereditary culture’s history because their identities were stolen and they were conditioned through generations, I know some of my genes’ history and language, and that definitely has been at times confusing in relation to my country of origin, the US. We do share hereditary cultural erosion and all immigrants to a country of multiculturalism will be exposed to it somewhere in our ancestry even though the rate has been sped up in Blacks even with cultural appropriation. However, race and governance, like capitalism, are all man-made constructs. In the human race, we are broken up into different societies and cultures given a categorical definition by land space borders, also manmade.
