(Gets a bit too deep) It's getting too deep
(While rating the movie...) Rating of this movie?
(He gets humbled)\ Who am I to rate this?
(Recommending you the movie) It's my personal rating
(Full of personal taste and imagination) If an alien falls
Wait, can they fall from apartments?
Am it being too raTional?
(Highly recommended; recommend by Kang-jun\ First, movie)
Hello everyone I'm Seo Kang-jun
(Hi)
Today I'm here with Seo Kang-jun's recommendation
of highly recommended contents
Beforehand, we asked you questions
(Event was on MOC's instagram comment section)\ about things you want me to recommend
Books and movies were top ranking
(First highly recommended session: Movie)\ So I'm going to recommend you some movies
I recently rewatched this one
(Pulp Fiction, 1994)\ It's a movie called Pulp Fiction
It's a movie by Quentin Tarantino
I love Quentin Tarantino
So I watch his films a lot
I saw this a long time ago so my memory was getting a bit blurry
So I rewatched it
It's a movie filled with Tarantino's style
The arrangement of this movie is unorganized
The time is mixed up like puzzles
It's a story about criminals
It's a story about human nature, sin, atonement
And also faith
When it starts to get deep with thoughts while watching it
Humorous scenes pop up
As if it's saying "Stop thinking"
When you start thinking deep
It makes you lightly laugh
But it's a bit cruel
(Rated R)\ Minors are not supposed to watch it
When you're bored
And when you want your life to be a bit funky
When you want some spice
I recommend you this movie
There's a famous scene from this movie
A scene where the main characters dance
When you see the scene, you'll feel like
you've watched it from somewhere
If I rate this movie
(The rating of Pulp Fiction is?)\ 4.5 out of 5
The reason for the 0.5 deduction
is because the movie is not mainstream material
It's actually very significant in Hollywood
It's known as one of the masterpieces
Minus 0.5 point is because
it’s not really a mainstream work
It is not what you normally think
It is not a film to watch just for fun
It really is an amazing piece of work
And secondly,
The Ballad of Buster Scruggs 2018)
I watched it not long ago too, and it’s really unique
First off, it’s set in the Wild West era
It’s an anthology-style film
I think anyone watching this movie will probably
feel the same way
I felt that too
How can a movie feel this empty?
Why does it feel so empty?
You’re gonna feel those kinds of emotions
There are several different stories
Basically it’s about life and death
And it also talks about human greed
In the end, everything concludes with death
The final end for all humans on earth is death
When you finally achieve the dream you wanted so badly,
what you feel isn’t really happiness
They say you mostly feel emptiness instead
This movie is basically telling a story about that kind of emptiness
Wow, this is getting too deep
It’s too deep
Anyway, if you want you can watch this movie pretty lightheartedly
It’s a film you can watch casually
So as you watch it
About life and death
Human nature and greed
The emptiness of life
Maybe it’s a good movie to reflect on those things
But it’s also good to just watch without thinking too much
Check it out sometime
(Q. What’s your rating for this movie?) \ My rating is…
But who am I to give it a rating?
(Movie critic just for today)
This is just my personal rating
Four stars
The movie is really really good
But
It might be a bit hard to understand
But the message the movie’s trying to get across
is really witty
So you can watch it without it feeling too deep
It’s that kind of film
It’s a black comedy
Both Pulp Fiction and this film have black comedy elements
This is a humorous film
Ah, this one too
I believe it’s rated R
(Rated R as well) Yes, right?
Since it’s restricted, minor viewers
should wait until you’re older to watch it
And the third film is
(Jules 2023) called Jules
I think many people might not know this one
I also came across it by chance
while I was browsing movies
It’s a really cute film
An alien crash-lands in the backyard of an elderly man’s house
He takes care of and nurses the alien
and incidents start happening from there
The neighbors also join in
to look after the alien
and form a bond
These elderly characters each carry their own loneliness
But the alien doesn’t say a single word
because it can’t speak
It’s really a warm story about friendship
(Jules is lighthearted movie to watch) It’s a lighthearted movie to watch
It feels rather quirky
(Q. How would you rate this movie?) Star rating…
I’d give it four stars
This film does have its flaws
it’s a bit loose in terms of story
and consistency, but that clumsiness is actually part of its charm
(Jules is B-movie alien film) It has the vibe of a cute B-movie alien film
When’s a good time to watch it?
I think it’s perfect to watch during dinner
(Q. What if an alien were to fall into your backyard?) If an alien were to fall into my backyard?
In the film, no one believes the man
when he says
an alien crashed behind his house
No one believes him
So the three of them secretly takes care of the alien together
But in my case, I live in an apartment
so could it even land here?
Was I too raTional?
If it did crash at my place
I’d probably tell one one of my closest friends
One of my best friends and
I'll also tell my coworkers
(They'll be like, "what?')
But I’d call them over
to take a look and figure out what to do together
Whether to help the alien return home quickly,
since it needs to go back home
And maybe…
(Alien extortion) Could I get something out of it?
Like superpowers or something
Maybe just that
Then let me ask a few questions related to movies
(Q. What was the most recent film you watched in theaters?) I did see one, just a second…
The most recent one
(Kang-jun watched F1 The Movie) I watched was F1 The Movie
I really enjoyed it
Brad Pitt is just incredibly, unbelievably awesome
(Q. Which streaming services are you subscribed to?) I used to
be subscribed to several services
But I canceled all of them except one
(Only Watcha survived) Now I only keep Watcha
It actually has so many great films
Watcha is often called a minor OTT platform…
Yes, but what makes it “minor” is just
that not many people watch it
There are actually a lot of really good films there
I recently watched "Farewell My Concubine"
It feels like a treasure trove filled with films
you wouldn’t usually find on mainstream platforms
So please don’t ever disappear
Stay strong
I’ll support you
I’ll even add another year to my subscription
(Q. What device do you usually use to watch movies?) I always watch on TV, without exception
Even if I had extra time
and could watch something on my phone
I would never watch that way
Because it’s not just about the story
The colors, the mise-en-scène...
Everything in the frame matters, it’s art
And of course, the sound as well
That’s why theaters are the best
But since you can’t watch every film in theaters
Watching films on a big TV with good speakers
is the best way
(Q. What genres do you prefer?) I don’t really have a genre I avoid
except horror
I like human dramas, romance, action, thrillers, sci-fi
I enjoy them all
I don’t discriminate, I watch everything
Honestly, I think I choose genres
based on my mood at the time
(So that’s the end of the movie introductions)
(Now moving on to the book introduction)
(Book recommendation was supposed to be in one video, but due to content overload, stay tuned until next week...)
And aliens?
Don’t you think they exist?
I believe they do exist
Seriously
