Has stuck with me long after viewing it, always needed to talk extensively with my friends on my thoughts and how the movie left me feeling, and I think thats exactly how movies should make you feel. Hollywood has a lot to learn from them I think.

This is exactly how I feel, my friends just don't get it.
I always wonder if Korean's find Korean cinema as good as I do, or if I'm swayed by some feeling of mysticism for Korean culture. Watching Korean movies is like going to Disney World for me: the feeling is foreign, surreal, curious, timeless, comforting, etc. all rolled up into one emotion. It's hard to explain.
I guess Snowpiercer will shed some light on this for me, given it's produced through CJ Entertainment and helmed by Bong Joon-ho but is shot in English with a non-Korean setting.

Hence why I'm not looking forward to the Americanization of the new Oldboy movie, there's nothing to improve upon, so why try?
