Re: [Marxism] 2 Asian films of note

[Danielle Ni Dhighe <danielle@xxxxxxxx>]

Another one is the South Korean monster film, "The Host", which will 
be released in the US in March.  It's inspired by an incident in 2000 
where a mortician working for the US military in Seoul poured a large 
amount of formaldehyde down the drain, where it made its way into the 
Han River.  In the film, that serves as the catalyst for the creation 
of a monster.  The film reportedly takes a critical and satirical 
stance toward the US, making it one of the rare South Korean films to 
be lauded by North Korean authorities.
