Ha!

My Way is crap. They took an incredibly interesting story and made a shit movie out of it. I'll spell out a list of good ones for ya.
Memories of Murder - Really good serial killer thriller set during the 1980s military dictatorship.
JSA - About the friendship of two South Korean and two North Korean soldiers stationed…

Like shooting while skating? Or shooting at skaters?

It's not something I personally witnessed but a few months ago my dad and I were watching the news when a story came on about some dude who had died walking off a cliff with his face in his phone. I thought it was pretty hilarious, but my dad got kinda mad at me.

A North Korean would.

I quote that movie all the time when I'm chilling with my Korean friends.

I'd agree with you if this was an American movie but Korean cinema doesn't have the same tropes and cliches as Hollywood. You'd be hard pressed to find an example of "heroic foreigner saves the day" in a Korean movie. They are mostly portrayed as criminals or totally incompetent.

His best movie is Memories of Murder. Mother is pretty good too.

Koreans fucking love archery. And speed skating for some reason.

That's weird, because I thought he did a fine job on Walking Dead. When I saw The Host though I thought he was one of those random off the street white dudes that Koreans usually get to act in their movies.

Truth. We also spend a shitload of money in the local economy. I know I did.

I agree, although they are both great.

It definitely is, but Koreans tend to be a little animated in their mourning.

Is that the same actor? I never noticed that before.

It helps that USFK and 2ID in particular cracks down pretty hard on fuck-ups.

My favorite theater going experience was when I saw The Raid: Redemption. I was stationed in San Angelo, TX at the time and when I went to the theater the guy at the ticket window tried to talk me out of it because "it ain't in English". I was the only person in the theater and it was awesome.

I so want to see Starship Troopers in theater.

That's just my take on it. I'm not sure what Bong's actual intentions were, but I hope it was to say "Hey, these Americans do some fucked up shit sometimes but most of em are pretty stand up dudes".

That's why its so interesting. Even though the dude gets eaten right away its a nice moment of heroism. Foreigners and Americans in particular are not usually portrayed in such a light in Korean movies.

The American film industry tends to indulge in escapist, the good guy always wins fantasy a lot more than the Korean film industry.
