Well what can I say other than the fact that I loved these two movies. I watched Parasite on the day of the Oscars and Train to Busan few days before this. Until now perhaps I have seen maybe a couple of Korean movies. One of them was the action flick 'The Man From Nowhere.'
Train to Busan is one of my favourite zombie movies today. Something I can watch again down the road. The acting was great, scenes were well shot and the little girl gave a terrific performance.
Thoroughly enjoyed this and then I came across Parasite. WOW! Few hours later I see news of it winning 4 Oscars and setting records. As someone who loves well made movies, I loved how this movie was made. I'm not going to write about the story because everyone needs to go see this to appreciate good cinema and movie making in general.
If you are from Korea, please recommend me a couple of great movies on similar lines. I enjoy dark comedy, action and sometimes drama also. But damn, looking up some movies, Korea's Hallyuwood seems to make some great movies and has some amazing actors, directors and crew to make top movies. Bollywood needs to learn a thing or two from ya'll!
I've had some exposure to K-pop even though I don't listen to any Korean music on a regular basis. But I've heard a number of tracks over the years as some of my friends in India and abroad listen to this genre.
Overall, the movie scene has piqued my curiosity and I'm looking forward to watching Parasite again in the theatres and hopefully more Korean movies will come to India, especially my small city in a corner of my country.
Cheers to the Korean community here.
