There is nothing more exhilarating than having little knowledge of a film before experiencing it, and emerging with a plethora of theories, questions, and philosophies after going in for the ride.It’s at this moment Ki-woo and Ki-taek’s worlds collide. Throughout the film, Ki-woo has remained an optimist; he genuinely believed he could one day climb the social ladder and be rich, too. Ki-taek knows the perils of capitalism all too well. We hear about the various jobs he’s held over the years, and one way or another, everything has gone belly-up. Bong adds, “The storyboards show in great detail how the shots will be constructed. They can be shot exactly as drawn and serve as valuable blueprints for the crew members. The finished film never deviates far from the storyboards, and this allows the crew to trust the process. Crew members who have worked with me in the past are especially aware of this.”
