Director Park Chan-wook, who directed the thriller crime black comedy film 『There is nothing I can do about it』 (produced by Mohofilm), met with Sports Chosun in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul on the afternoon of the 23rd and said 『There is nothing I can do about it』I explained the production process of '.
Director Park Chan-wook said, `To be honest, I don't really see reviews and reactions to the movie. I'm hearing from my team, but I don't think my team is telling me everything either. I think he's trying to protect my mental state as a director."
He said "I also have a weak mentality and try to manage. I recently watched Guillermo del Toro's interview and he said I should accept other things because I can't accept only good reviews. On the one hand, the story should acknowledge very critical reviews, but it's like saying that you won't accept good reviews because you don't want to accept bad reviews. "I always hoped for good luck. In fact, the director is not talking about anything else, but about the box office. When they get together, they make art films and even the director who makes independent films only talks about box office success. It's not because everyone wants to make a lot of money, but because everyone made it hard, and I think it's because they want to see at least one more audience. Extremely speaking, even if it's a free audience, I think it would be good for many people to see it," he replied honestly.
He also expressed the burden of the master's name value. Director Park Chan-wook said, `I don't feel much pressure about the expectation that my movie will be very good.' However, the stereotype that director Park Chan-wook's movie is like this is very burdensome. That's a problem I always want to shake off. 'There's nothing I can do about it' is what I wanted to write at first, but I couldn't. I wondered if I could come and watch the work in a blank state like a new director's movie without prejudice. Perhaps the stereotype toward me is that there is a cruel, exposed, and sexual description. It is also distorted, and especially the preconceived notion of 'transformative' is burdensome. Most of them don't seem to think well of my work. I'm afraid I'll look like an old perv as I get older. That's the part I'm most worried about and that's the worst."
'There's nothing I can do about itRegarding the 15-year-old viewer of ', it was not necessarily aimed at the 15-year-old viewer. It's the same for movies that were intense in the past, but in the process of writing and filming the screenplay, 'If I go like this, I'll be unable to watch teenagers. What should I do?' When they reached the stage, they didn't bother to avoid it. There's nothing I can do about itThere was not much danger in writing the script '. 'The fans will be disappointed if I make it like this?' I didn't have to add more or make it more irritating" he said.
'There's nothing I can do about it' is a story about an office worker whose life was satisfactory enough to feel that 'I've accomplished ' after he was fired, preparing for his own war against reemployment to protect his wife and two children, to protect his hard-won home. Lee Byung-hun, Son Ye-jin, Park Hee-soon, Lee Sung-min, Yeom Hye-ran, and Cha Seung-won appeared, and director Park Chan-wook of 'Old Boy'"'"Kind Geumja-si'"'"'"Lady"Decision to Break Up" took the megaphone. It will be released on the 24th.
