"Hi, I am Oh Seung-uk, film director." "Hi, I am Kim Young-jin, critic." "Well, here is a title of ." "Ha Yoo-sang wrote the script." "Did you read it, didn't you?" "Oh, It was a scenario writing book by Mr. Ha Yoo-sang." "I saw him showing special affection on this  scenario." "It was from an original by Lee Chung-joon, but it was rewritten much by Kim Ki-young" "And it can be said Mr. Ha worked together with director Kim, rather than his own work." "Isn't it?" "Yes it is." "As you see the movie, elements of" "Kim Ki-young are upfront as the whole." "Then the missing journalist in the original and then island ... they became something like Kim Ki-young's" "In the original, trying to find out an island," "It starts with a military plan." "Like salvation... while it focused on a try to find these out, the film has a lot of elements such as life style in the island itself." "That is right." "I was assistant director for  when I saw this film for the first time?" "Yes." "Then when I saw it in the theater, there was a fish with thorns in the first title?" "Yes." "It was very very impressive for me." "Red color in black back ground... it is a movie of 70's." "That's right." "I wonder if there was such titles back to 70's." "I also saw it as film later." "90's... maybe 97?" "Yes." "I still remember waves and a child in the movie." "Tense of this movie is quite complicated." "Isn't it?" "Yeah, there is recall scene, then it goes to the past of 3 years, then it goes to the pluperfect." "It is very rare for Kim Ki-young movies." "Yes, it is." "It is unfolded with a flashback with many layers." "I think I like this part in his movie." "There are many skirts unfolded and the color or the skirt," "Yes." "Then it is very, how can It say?" "How can we say the look?" "Anyway actors put power very much on eyes." "Yes, the looks with much styles." "I think this is now a trademark of director Kim Ki-young." "Listening to Lee Hwa-si, the main actress of this film, his directing for performance is much for the eyes look." "She told she was too young to know how to do, she just looked this way, she looked that way with that eye look." "Then Mr. Chang shot her." "She recalled she wondered if it was her in the movie when watching after." "Then to act in the movie of director Kim Ki-young, it should start with putting power on the eyes." "And I dare to say but those with unique look are also..." "Isn't it right?" "Whether it is male or female, there are many actors having preying-forces..." "There is description on the woman starred by Lee Hwa-si..." "Yes." "It is just like what I read in the novel is just embodied." "Oh, he is so good." "Actress Lee Hwa-si was not like someone who could be in Korean movies." "There was no face like her." "There was none." "Yes." "She has a face that other directors wouldn't take... that is difficult to be casted" "Very eccentric face" "Is it same as the male actor?" "Yes, he is Kim Cheong-chul?" "He is mainly in the films by Kim Ki-young..." "This is not that important scene but it seems to happen something when one sees the film" "It can say it is like woman's desire for production preying man?" "Here he describes it in excessive details." "So I think films of Kim Ki-young director as ones of longing." "Yes." "Only longing goes over anything... accidents or some emotions." "A film of this energy." "All female characters come this way as the whole." "Males are also confused in the desire" "Yeah" "Now in the film  will be developed" "This kind of things seem to conflict quite a lot." "With the background of the modernization in development dictator era when the film starts in the island, it is a society ruled by quite modern shaman." "And also it is quite maternal society." "Man's seeds are almost dead..." "Those things come to be interesting in contrast to this film." "And at that moment, the films by director Kim Ki-young, for instance,  have quite a lot of stories on men and women in the development or those who could not adjust themselves." "Like Meat-eating animal." "Like environmental destruction" "In this film, the pollution is very important motive." "The man hanging with a camera was charged with small objects." "Now Mr. Jung Min-young is like a master but at that time he seemed to work" "as a host." "He might be the first supporting actor at that time as a staff and starred many times." "I feel glad to see him" "I worked with him in the film To the" "Ah" "Mr. Choi Yoon-seok just showed up in this film?" "Director Ha Kil-jong liked films of Kim Ki-young very much when he was alive, didn't he?" "Yes." "I was very curious what was alike films of director Kim Ki-young at the time when read critics of Director Ha Kil-jong in junior high school." "The movie Mr. Ha complemented was this ." "Ah, Yes." "And I remember, there is none at all to applaud in preview of movies of Director Kim" "I don't know if it is that everyone liked it or not, anyway there is none even to applaud cause the mind is out." "Kim Ki-young is the only one with character." "As for my case, I saw one film of him when young." "It was ." "I was fan of Lim Hae-jin." "It was her debut." "Yes." "It was a film screened in local cheaper theaters like her other high school youth films." "Yes." "Then I went to watch it because of her." "But it was difficult for a young elementary student." "It was very horrible." "I remember." "Then there seemed a film titled" "Ban Keum-ryeon' when I was in high school." "It was." "Yes." "The movie was treated as erotic and I remember we thronged to watch it." "It is same for me." "When I was staff in Chung-mu-ro, director Pak Kwang-soo told there was the only one writer in Korea." "Kim Ki-young himself, he told me." "So I went with director Pak..." "As you see the movie, elements of Kim Ki-young are upfront as whole." "To Hwanghak-dong to search out movies of director Kim," "I remember." "And all film directors praise him, don't they?" "Everyone applauses him." "As for director Park Chan-wook, he told once it wasn't good director Kim made films in Korea in the 60's and 70's." "He would have made much better if he had been in U.S. Or Europe." "It is sorrowful." "He didn't seem to be understood well comparing to his talents and capacity." "But there is a strange contradiction" "In the early and middle 70's director Kim didn't make a movie in his production but made an art-movie in conventional production and just like  and youjusttold, , remake film of  of director Lee Man-wee or film of" "ofLeeKwang-soo, they are re-born as eccentric movies with totally different movie by director Kim." "I want to talk different things a bit later, but the most eccentric thing in his movies is an issue of sense of quality." "Yes." "So to speak, sense of quality in his films are very different from other Korean films at that time." "Comparing to other foreign films," "I think this film has its own unique sense of quality." "We will talk about it when some scene come later." "But this unique sense of quality is something eccentric of director Kim." "Yes." "As for me, I didn't watch  but just heard some, but in case of ." "If there is something  talks about in others" "As thinking the story at large, it picks a story in 'promise of body' and put it to 'late fall' making an excessive meaning or something." "This film has a lot like that." "As you just told,  is an island of salvation in the original work but here in this film, it goes to completely different way." "Now the film starts gradually." "In the film, it is Parang do, that island," "Yes, it is." "The sterile island." "Even the island a shaman dominates." "In cinema scope with double close up, there are many compositions like this when it shoots in island." "Is it in the middle 70's?" "It is middle." "It released in 77 but it was made in late 75 or 76." "Maybe." "It is quite hard now to shoot like that in a boat but it seems harder at that time?" "It seems to shoot with physical help in very bad condition" "When listening to those shot at the moment, they could hardly take showers in shooting." "I was staff of film 'T o the ' and when I see these things," "It is very risky to do it." "If you try to move the camera a bit, it is like circus in that small boat." "Now Lee Hwa-si shows up." "It showed a skirt first." "Just before the skirt was showed in that direction" "Only figures behind" "That time the scene of newspaper is very that first emergence is very grotesque," "Something only director Kim can do" "It is very bizarre." "Only half face is like this, neither reading newspaper nor hiding it" "It is too bizarre to do it but director Kim does like this." "Character setting seems very interesting." "Woman reading newspaper." "Woman working in an island and reading newspaper." "This character setting is very..." "Is it Bogil do?" "The shot spot?" "No, it is not Bogil do," "I also heard, it is an island nearby Jeju do." "It is not Wu do." "I forgot." "It was such a long time." "It seems very hard working." "The very famous Jeong ll-seong Samkeobsal happening was in the very island?" "He shot very hard when director Kim baked meat to eat by himself behind rocks" "Director Kim said we can make this film only if I am physically strong most." "There're well known episodes that during lunch time when some guests visit his place he doesn't care whatever they do he goes into his room and locks the door to eat canned boiled saury" "After he eats canned saury by himself he told them he's done for lunch" "Many people told it." "Then when later Mr. Jeong got angry to come back to Seoul, director Kim visited him with a ham bought in Namdaemoon market, and apologized saying he had to eat meat cause he was big." "So they got along again and went back to the island" "Look at people with forces on eyes." "Pak Jeong-ja is also starred the most outstanding in director Kim's films" "Yes, you are right." "This primary color and the..." "Now it comes to the first recall scene" "The first recall scene goes to the past again, the past goes to pluperfect again" "Zoom is used a lot in this film" "Yes." "The first scene was zoom" "That is Son Young-sook" "She was caste to '' only because she world with director Kim" "So I continuously asked her about director Kim all the time how he was..." "like this she was too young when starred in director Kim films so she was too scared to look at his face so there was not much to tell about director Kim for her she only remembered he was scary, she told." "Lee Hwa-si told similar" "Ah, did she?" "She was too young when she was directed" "The eye look can be look of tension" "I also asked to" "Ahn So-young unlikely to those," "Is Ahn So-young in ?" "When she starred in that film, she got along with director Kim since she was quite cheerful" "She says he doesn't take shower when shooting a film" "Then he wears white rubber shoes but there is dirt between toes." "He doesn't even brush teeth when shooting" "The most interesting thing is that he shows no one the continuity" "He doesn't show it to any one" "Then he draw continuity like a small black spot" "When people ask to show it, what is today's shooting, director?" "Then he unfolds it in a sec and goes way saying 'you see all'" "When people ask him to wash then he says no." "It is impossible." "He didn't show the continuity cause he was afraid actors prepared before?" "Yes he didn't." "Actors had to perform as he directed." "This is also horrible." "Ah, It was surprise." "It was real." "Horrible." "Here it implies transmission" "It is quite haunting in the screen, isn't it?" "If we see that Parang do," "So I like  the most among his films" "This kind of milieu is expressed the most as Kim Ki-young style in this film." "For my opinion, directors can't make matiere on a film, things you feel when drawing, right?" "But in Kim's films, there is matiere untouchable." "I think." "Then it is an issue of the sense of quality we talked before." "Milieu has sense of quality but the color he expresses or sex on candies, stabbing with a keen-edged blade." "And like now, penetrating needle and treads to soft flesh of young girl," "I think these things are strange sense of quality that only this film has." "And then there is a scene of rape which I will tell later on" "I wonder that is sense of quality which can be made in films." "And it is not expressed for sense of touch itself but made for characters' emotion and expression of feeling" "After then emotion has tremendous ascending and energy by those sense of touch." "It is what I like the most in Kim's works." "Even moving herbs by wind" "That is just cinematic." "That is right." "Wind seems to blow as director intends." "True." "At that time it was not possible to have a air-conditioner." "And make up in director Kim's are all unique." "Comparing to makes-up in other Korean films at that time, it is totally different." "For instance drawing a bit more black below eyes or doing more of eyes make-up, they are very eccentric." "Nobody does it any more." "In Kim's works," "I think all starred people have dark eye brows." "There, the sea is very good, isn't it?" "He shot such the sea probably full of dead bodies." "Is exaggeration too excessive?" "In fact, isn't it?" "The sea Kim shoots looks like one with loads of dead corps beneath" "It is said 500mm long lens was used?" "And it says camera director Jung and director Kim liked it very much." "Ah, it is good." "I like it very much." "Also there was the real light, in fact a bit exaggerated light." "There was black and then changes into much more expressive light with sudden light" "In a way, Kim's works are expressionism films, right?" "That is right." "It is a film shot outside but it looks that expressive, it is Kim's." "This rock, the wave, the sea and the herbs, all are like that." "They look like painted, aren't they?" "Yeah" "Eccentric, isn't it?" "Linking these cuts is" "Yes, in fact the cut link is not used?" "No, it is not." "Yes, but here everything seems to make sense, it is persuadable." "Comparing to other films, editing of this film is very unusual, but it seems to be digested with Kim Ki-young style." "And cutting screen half, two-third or one-third, such are what Jung il-sung likes." "Now that is more and more when it goes in , isn't that?" "Composition of frame in frame" "By the way, it is interesting here." "Story of those young boy and girl and their conversation were very strange." "They seem couple each other but..." "Child is not a child in Kim's films" "Yes, child is not a child." "This is what you talked before." "Yes, apart from what I like the most in this film, it is the most impressive when I saw for the first time this scene, or this sequence." "It is the most chocking." "Very very strange and grotesque" "Then the story itself is about huge betrayal to that girl" "He ties the girl who he was going to go with on the rock" "Yes, to the rock." "He is good at imitating this kind of thing, isn't he?" "We should go together!" "I will die if you go alone!" "Then it goes to rape" "Yes, it goes to rape" "I was very chocked her." "It is tremendously chocking." "What I called sense of feeling before seems to start from here looking at those white legs" "After it, in this scene it goes to the sea and then pasts by bare flesh" "Yes it is." "As you see the movie, elements of Kim ki-young are upfront as whole." "It feels strange sense of guilty, or it is even sinful" "This scene now made a deep impression" "Then there is a rape" "It is scary" "At that time people from the Central Information Agency go in the censorship reading" "You can say that again" "I am very curious what they thought when seeing it" "There is more shocking later on" "As I heard, it was censored when it was released." "Yes it had a lot of cuts on release" "But this doesn't have much cuts." "At the time I..." "Ah, isn't it good too?" "After the rape scene, there are these kinds of images put together" "There seems the sense of guilty spread in the insert cuts?" "Ah, this scene was too very scary." "The actress is now... a child" "She must have felt threaten" "Later on there is Lee Hwa-si standing there" "How scary it was" "You can say that again" "It is an image coming to audience as compressed, needless to say" "From now the main story goes on" "Yes, it is." "To bring the dead body and to take sperms from the dead one" "Yes, it is." "It becomes really scary from now on in this film" "After it, the face of Lee Hwa-si shows clearer as it can be identified" "Things like desires of that woman?" "Desire of Pak Jung-ja also shows up now and then" "Men are helpless" "But in Kim's films, all men are helpless, aren't they?" "That's right." "I liked it very much" "So it is not a song from Lee Hwa-si, one would wonder why this song plays here." "But it expresses the heart of Lee Hwa-si." "It can look like very clumsy" "There are latest works of Kim Ki-young" "Yes" "In those, it is clumsy" "Yes, but it is not here" "It has a level" "I don't know how much it cost to make the film" "I think it is made as the director wanted in art part and something" "There were few that concerned arts" "That is why crews ate Ramen" "Yes." "It is produced by Dong-a Export Center but he produced the films only using their names for production" "There were a lot of Kim's ideas in it" "They just endured with the lowest living cost" "They couldn't wash nor eat in the island" "They must shoot the film under Kim's charisma" "I think Lee Hwa-si in the film is very attractive" "You met her to chat" "Yes." "It was one of the most touched moment during my journalist career" "She is in Canada." "She has had nothing to do with the film scene but she happened to read my writing when surfing saying that the representative expression in 70's Korean films is no less Lee Hwa-si's face" "So she tried to find out who Kim young-jin was in Korea" "I gave my contact number knowing that Mr. Ahn was looking after me, who did an Internet cafe of Korean movies" "So she called and we met." "When I met her, she walked to me" "Saying "I am Lee Hwa-si." "Can you recognize me?"" ""Of course." "I certainly do" I said." "Now it goes to recall scene of man" "If the original novel is about salvation, the film is about primitive survival." "This kind of motive is much emphasized" "There is description here again" "It folds like bringing in an island after living in a city" "I find it very interesting to see old films, isn't it?" "There is Tae-kyai Street?" "Where is it in Chung-mu-ro?" "It is Pacific hotel if you go upper." "It is in front of Keuk-dong building in old Chung-mu-ro." "It must be an overpass ago" "Astral hotel" "It is Keuk-dong building under construction." "It might be." "It is good thing about seeing old movies" "By the way, look at the floor of the overpass." "Floors" "Isn't it?" "Isn't it Keuk-dong building?" "Under construction?" "This island is different from one before." "I remember it is Chagi Island" "Chagido nearby Jeju Island." "They made a set there" "If one makes a film with bringing all actors there, it is like a kingdom" "So a director is a king and nobody can get out of the island" "Boats must not come to that place." "Once a day, once a week, or even there is no boat coming to it" "So actors stay in inhabited houses and go when director says to shoot the film today." "In case of the windy island before, when he says to shoot it, it is windy, then they rush to shoot it" "So everyone is stand-by" "By order of the king" "This was also made like this, such as the windy scene" "When boats come in and out it should be sunny... such weather things must be figured for shooting." "I think it would be impossible if it was not an uninhabited island." "So, when seeing it, the hands of" "Pak Jung-ja are a bit physical?" "There is always scene of such hands touching mens' shoulders and such in Kim's works." "Yes." "How can I say... the hands are all plump?" "Those women put hands on men's shoulders and men stand showing the back to them" "Woman is always in the back of men..." "Rather that erotic, it is more or less" "He is rather eaten up by woman" "Scary" "Yes." "Some fear about woman comes" "Like spider, spider" "Yes, they are worker bees controlled by a queen bee" "They have desire though" "Yes, it seems like it." "There is similar energy in films of lmamura Shohei?" "Women are very strong" "Queen bee complex?" "I always think there is description of desire of men which is to die in women's embrace." "I am not sure if it fits here but I remember  by lmamura Shohei, shot in Okinawa." "I don't mean it is similar to that but there could be much comparison" "I don't mean which is better made." "Isn't it?" "I liked the film of lmamura Shohei and" "I like this film a lot too." "They both are films full of desire or longing of women or something." "Women have strong desire of reproduction" "Men are sucked up and retreated as being to give seeds" "So, they are sucked up even dead" "Yes, that is right." "I read once a novel called Factotum written by Vokowski" "The first scene is a female prostitute coming to a man in a hotel room to suck up everything" "It feels the man becomes a flat balloon sucked up his sperms, humors and everything" "When I see Kim's films," "I feel men become almost a flatten balloons." "Was it ?" "What was the name of actor in the movie?" "He had a big body" "Yes, yes." "He is" "Kim Seong-gyum, it's Kim Seong-gyum" "They are men blown up flatten when stung by a big and edged scissor" "Why did he like such a world that much?" "Even in Korea even under this terrifying Park Jung-hee's regime" "How come these kinds of works could come into being" "I think it is very intriguing" "This situation here is similar too" "Men are waiting to be selected when the woman lights a candle" "Look at their faces of selected." "They like it and go inside?" "Even with carrying candles" "This time, it is a white skirt" "Yes, it is." "When I talked about this subject with Kim Ki-young when he was alive he told me that women are much stronger" "It says that women live much longer if men die earlier but that men die earlier if women die earlier" "It is also true" "Yes, it is." "When I was an assistant director in ''" "I adored director Kim very much and I was thinking to be a staff in his crew" "At that time Kim was probably preparing a work called" "It is also about happenings in an island" "When he was preparing at the time" "There was a staff who adored him more than me and talked to director Kim earlier than me" "But what Kim said, " Hey, is it alright to give only transport cost, isn't it enough?" So he got almost fainted." "I also gave up when I heard the transport cost." "And then he passed away before long since there was fire in his house" "As for lights, comparing to other films, one could hesitate to use it but" "he just does it." "Yes." "In the early 70's and also 60's, director Kim used this kind of lights such as black and white contrast or sudden emergence of primary colors, or then red and yellow..." "When I saw his film for the first time," "I thought it was very clumsy but I think now it is quite right when I go on seeing this film" "I even think it is the only way" "that characters are very strong and the background has tension to express them tightly" "At last there is action scene I like" "For me I become speechless when seeing the movie right now" "Why don't they fight?" "But this is the action scene I like" "Women I mean" "The similar scene come again later on" "They seem to be chosen again and again for shooting" "I mean he brought actors after checking the condition of the sunlight and the wind." "It is windy or it is sunny" "Camera directory Jung ll-seong often talked about it?" "When I saw him in Jeonju a few years ago, he told me that there was a principle with director Kim that they would shoot color looking like black." "He chose  for his best shot" "This scene is very good?" "Two men are entangled but there are flies, it is opposite light" "And in Kim's work, sweat, humor and water are very important" "They are." "Here it gives a special strong impression with crossing the image of the sea." "The brown colored soil right now" "Now it comes back to the present again" "What happens in the island is about the relation between the dominant and the dominated?" "Men come to try to do things." "Yes." "Men in the island try to overturn and breed and men try to keep women as servant but to fail" "They can not stand in it" "And then now there is a woman who can not give a birth and waits to be given seeds" "There is a shaman on top, who takes all the money in the village." "Lee Hwa-si told me she didn't know what was making." "She just went because she had time." "Isn't there a film Itoldbefore?" "Yes." "It was a big hit but couldn't be released." "It was made in 76 but released in 80." "Maybe it was when I was second grade in junior high school." "When I was junior high school student, it was not for minor." "We thought it was a semi-porno so wondered if we would go or not." "We could go in theaters in Yan-yang, such the suburb." "So I went but as I remember there were a lot of cuts." "It was censored a lot." "Yes, it was." "I couldn't see the proper one so far." "Me neither." "And the movie is also grotesque, isn't it?" "It probably is." "It was also released when Sin Seong-il was a candidate for congressional member?" "So Sin Seong-il talked about political conspiracy." "So he failed." "In , it is not about woman taken revenge by Mu-song but love between Seo Mun-kyeong and Ban Keum ryeon..." "What was the title of the novel?" "Keum byeong mae" "Yes it was Keum byeong mae" "It's like a strange horror movie dealing with concubinage institution." "So we thought deceived" "Look at ascidians there." "It is story all about seeds" "When they have intercourse, hands of man and woman put in it and stir it." "It seems very strong." "Is it bani candy?" "They put a glass on the floor and let them have sex" "There are sweats from man and woman and the bani candies are melt." "It adheres to their backs" "After it, is it ?" "In it, people get golden-colored." "Colors of candies and sweats of man and woman." "After swelling thing of man like a balloon and stabbing with scissors in a bed" "What is the color of rat poison shown in  in the 70s?" "Something blue..." "Blue black?" "Blue black rat poison" "These things have deep impression in me when I see Kim's films" "Yes, it is because the directing pattern is physical." "The color of rat poison was the most impressive for me... by putting them fully on a paper to kill people we also saw them a lot when young buying them in a local government, knowing that it would kill" "and putting them to kill rats" "Director Kim has not seen this film for long time but he came to see to Dong-soong Art Center in 97 when I saw it again in it" "He told me that time that he was ahead of time even if he made it" "Yes." "It is ahead of time" "He talked about pollution already at that time, he told me." "Not only this but lots of his films deal with pollution, especially he talked directly on pollution issue in 'Hunting for Idiots' made in 84" "Since it is about reproduction and sex." "Rather than sex, it is production relating to pollution that he was dealing with." "There were few to mention pollution and such kinds at that time" "Maybe ?" "Except it, there was few" "It is not rather that director Kim intended to talk about pollution, but that it came with what he wanted to talk, which made him ahead of time" "There are three women in the film." "I like this kind of thing very much." "These three have something each other and strange minds in the conflict among them" "How can I express?" "Something competitive and compassion" "Yes." "When we see the film for the first time we wonder who Min-ja is." "Isn't it?" "Everyone continuously argues she is Min-ja." "I mean two women" "It is right." "It is confusing and vague who the raped young girl is" "And they fight each other due to seeds of first man" "When I saw it for the first time, I went to see it without any information" "After seeing it all in a theater which is gone now in Dong-sung dong, it was like Art cinema in a basement" "I was speechless." "There were a couple of people" "It was Dong-sung Cinema." "Was it?" "It was 96 or 97 and I lost my words." "It was winter and" "I went home alone and lonely after film." "It might be an event organized by Cine21." "I organized it." "It is right." "I remember there were just a couple of audience." "It was big bit in Pusan later on though." "I was one of them" "I had time just when wasonrelease." "I went there at that time." "Director Kim was watching it behind at the time" "Why didn't I know it?" "I was out of mind thinking there is" "After seeing it, a film which didn't go that far." "If one sees it in a theater, colors and such kinds come too vivid" "Yes, movie should be seen with a cinema film" "It was too overwhelming, such as impression that a big screen gives." "I am wondering this film would be shown in Art cinema or something." "It has done once?" "Yes." "It should be seen in a big screen." "She shows up wearing a wrapper like that." "It is very strange." "It is alright because it is Kim's work." "It is understandable." "In Kurosawa Akira's films, the natural environments are well used." "Yes, it is." "He directs simply feeling as a natural phenomenon, and" "I think director Kim Ki-young is equal to him." "The most eccentric power of this film is zooming out and zooming in." "It also stirs up." "Stirring up the horizontal and the vertical." "It is not a real fantasy but it feels like a strange world." "Combination between scenes are same." "Just before there was the sea out there and then the green in zooming out." "Then when it comes to here, there are two men in black suit, dark room and the light coming in" "These things make each scene clash" "It is not easy in the 70's, not even now." "It is not a film which one can see following the emotion flow." "It seems a film which one can see intoxicated with the strange milieu, attracted or overwhelmed." "Yes it is." "As you see the movie, elements of Kim Ki-young are upfront as whole." "It is hard if one tries to follow the emotion flow of characters or to find out how the story goes." "I saw it first on TV because the baseball broadcasting was canceled." "Was it on TV?" "This?" "Yes, it was long time ago." "I fell into the atmosphere seeing on TV thinking there was a strange movie in Korea." "I knew it for the first time in the 80's." "When did you see director Kim's film for the first time?" "It seems to be in childhood for me too." "that Ahn Seong-ki starred in." "Ah" "It might be 79 or 78" "As I told you before, I was forthefirsttime" "It was quite hard for me since I was grown up in Protestant influenced home" "I forgot the name of main character in butitwas very very strong that the guy scream due to religion." "It might be also with thunderstorm?" "I don't remember right now but it felt like a nightmare" "Ah, why did he shoot it like this?" "That was scary too?" "Yes, it is." "Something crawling" "Something about life." "Kim said once," ""People might call me an artist but I think I am a scientist"" "Do female workers put 20 cigarettes in a cigarette factory, don't they?" "Yes" "They do it like machine when one see in a factory." "We are kind of people who see human with a microscope" "There was also a shot with a microscope in ascidians' scene." "There is feeling that life is almost comparable to worms, isn't there?" "When seeing spermatozoon." "Humors." "Feeling from humors or something seems to come from obsession." "In fact there are many details only seen in Kim's works." "If I talk more on what we just said, there is no use but to see the film with watching those things after all." "Right now there is water spread." "It feels the sense of touch?" "In Kim's films, there is sense of touch, if one follows it then sees unexpected and overwhelming episode in the last scene, which make the whole movie as a cluster" "It is sucked up." "Men are sucked up their all humors." "Choi Yoon-seok is the most pitiful in the film." "He is sucked dead" "Everyone does it like that, which is weird" "Lines are very good." "At last there is tooth stain." "That situation is very hilarious, isn't it?" "It is Kim Ki-young's style." "Yes." "It is complete." "So to speak, men are all bad" "Yes." "They are not normal" "They are just humble men who are but to be prey for a queen bee" "Man with dirty thought in his mind becomes victim, which is very intriguing in Kim's films" "Men are all mean" "By the way, the point view about human is very unique" "Desire for life inside is very strong while morality or such kind is vulgarly" "There is also feeling that it is between the normality and the madness." "A film called  is the most shocking." "In it, human is described as rats." "Yes" "Rats?" "Ten children rush to take away a potato from grandmother and grandfather just because they eat only one, in which they are described as rats" "Yes." "Children rush all" "When I saw , maybe the late 50s or the early 60s?" "I found that Kim Ki-young had his own story to talk about and that he continuously self-copied sometimes." "Sometimes it goes to different direction but it think it a continuous repetition." "I don't mean it is bad but he is a kind of director who talks about one thing for the life time with different colors" "Yes." "In doing so, it is likely that he loses power a bit in the 80's." "After he self-produced, films lost their energies a bit." "In it the obsession of small objects or something has been focusing, it becomes like a bad taste." "Did he start self-producing from the 80's such as ?" "There are a lot of virtues in a film  but occasionally only bad taste are focused." "In a film , it is censored but it raised rats in the house" "In it, rats run away when they set a fire and let rats in a corner." "And he made a film running more than 500 rats on the roof of a house with setting a fire in a house." "It was censored since it was too cruel but I think this kind of episode is very Kim Ki-young." "Obsession on life?" "Longing of life?" "There is overwhelming feeling coming from obstinate try to show these things." "It is a bit awkward to compare with human but men in this film seem to have something manic" "Ah, that face" "Is it good here?" "She comes close slowly and shows the tendon in her neck in the center" "How can I say, wolf or evil?" "Dogtooth, the white teeth are continuously sparkling." "Sweats are also shining." "Hair are also wet, something like those." "In fact, actress are the most impressing in Kim's films" "As for me, I only remember Yoon Yeo-jeong in , how about in ?" "Kim Ji-mi" "Yes, She seems also very eccentric, different from her in other movies." "I remember only actress a lot, so to speak they feel like a nightmare" "The actress in , whose name I don't know" "Lee Eun-sim" "Yes, she is like that too." "Also in a film called Neu-mi where Chang Mi-hee starred, she is such too." "I didn't see the film" "Even though she starred as a deaf" "In fact, did he cast superstars in 82 and the 80's?" "So did Chang Mi-hee and" "Remember?" "Ahn So-young in ." "Yes, in" "There seemed to star a lot of super star actresses in the 80's" "In doing so, films tended to have bad tastes as you talked before" "At that time he got another production company again with permission." "When he produces by himself, he tends to emphasize revival." "If he produces by himself, it assumes that he can do what he can't due to a production company but it doesn't seem like that." "What he has is the item, item of" "A film he wanted to make before he passed was similar." "It is a story that a doctor harasses a nurse from countryside and he wanted to cast Moon Seong-keun" "He told me to network between them." "Thinking of it, it is quite pity." "He was very much welcome in Pusan?" "He gave autograph with his wife, Kim Yoo-bong surrounded by people on the street when passing by." "He told me he got famous and he would make a film, asking me to write a critic when he saw me." "It is sorry." "He wanted to make films since the middle 90s." "He really did" "He always used to write a scenario" "When listening to his story, he wrote loads of sceenplay when he couldn't make films, having approximately 20." "He was proud of having written it in the afternoon after having bows from children in the morning even on new year day" "I think he wrote loads of writings." "He also had a print of" "It said that it would be played in Myeong-bo theater." "He thought he could make money and produce films with the money by releasing it at certain moment" "When  and  were on screen in Japan, he brought the prints by himself." "Isn't it easy to get a picture?" "A bigot old man with glasses wouldn't do a check, with films in his arms when passing the customer search" "So the related at Japanese part took pains." "The bigot old man" "When I saw it for the first time, I liked the scene a lot." "Rather liking it, there is no scene eating like this nowadays." "No, Toads liquor." "There is fire like that and they bake meats in it, isn't it wrong?" "Is it briquet's fire?" "Yes, it is." "Something crawling" "At that time, the smoke sticks to people like this" "Nevertheless I want to eat it" "Was it old tire in this sequence started before?" "There are old tires piled up." "Before, there was a river died of pollution." "This kind of sterile image is continuously emphasized." "By the way, the man has also seeds." "Sterility and Reproduction" "The car right now is Dong-a Export Center's." "It is a film of clash between sterility and reproduction, the shamanic, and the pre-modern and the modern." "Thinking of flashback, most emotion of characters bring about flashback." "Yes." "But in this film it has nothing to do with emotion of characters." "It has nothing to do with unfolding of episodes in story neither." "It continuously goes into a labyrinth" "Yes, there are just sudden flashbacks?" "I wouldn't be able to do it." "It is fearful." "Ah, it is." "I also think it cuts the context of the film but in this film flashbacks go further rather than cut it." "There is feeling of complete labyrinth but there is tremendous split turn at the end?" "She wants to have a baby but she sells liquors." "It is strange but it clashes." "By the way, so is Kim Ki-young as are actors, they must be quite lonely." "Lee Hwa-si got the Best New Actress award for this film but in fact it is difficult to watch this film in a theater." "People don't know what films she are in" "She told it was very hard to endure." "She is Lee Hwa-si, film actress but literary films of" "Kim Ki-young were not on release properly wasalsoreleaseonlyfora short time to receive the Import Quota" "Yes, it has probably been on release just for a while" "Yes, it might have." "It is categorized as a literary film with Lee Cheong-joon's novel anyways, at that time" "This kind of film could be made in order to have the quota, that is, to get lmport Quota for foreign films." "Yes" "But it was also lucky." "It was." "He could make films without a big hit complex." "So did Lim Kyeong-taik." "In a way they had benefits." "It was a bad law of bad laws." "If one makes couple of Korean movies, then one can import foreign movies or one." "In a good way, good films such as literary films based on a novel could be made but in other way people imported Hongkong movies so as to be able to pretend that they made films without making them." "Thieving, Can I say thieving films?" "There were a lot of films like those." "It contributes decrease in quality of Korean movies." "That's right." "In one way, there was a film like this, in other way, there were cheap Hongkong films cut by 2 or 3 for release." "Such 70's" "Thinking of it, Kim Ki-young must be great man." "To make like this in such circumstances." "There were a lot of difficult movies to watch in the 70's." "But even in the situation, it was not well estimated to make this kind of movie?" "Not much." "But he continuously made this kind of films." "He was underestimated for bad taste or something" "Nevertheless he was very lonely and obstinate too." "Walking along to the dark stone wall and feet are seen with a cut." "It is shown with red skirts." "It is like a ghost, isn't it?" "Yes." "There is shamanic atmosphere" "In this film all men are haunted by woman, ghost of that women" "The scene that he was dumped into the water by women as I talked before." "Well, the head comes up from the bottom closed with hands." "How directing is." "It is about my movie meaning that my movie is like this, the tone of my movie is like this, the atmosphere of my movie is like this" "If there is no self-confidence in what acting should be alike in my movie, directing can never come like this." "If actors did not trust the director, there would be a rebellion" "Why do I have to do this here." "It is awkward." "It might be like this but he made them do it." "He is a kind of director who thinks actors as object" "Yes." "Everyone is scared of him." "When Kim Seung-ho starred before," "Kim Ki-young didn't admit him." "If he didn't like it, he told he would be better showing his performance" "Kim Seung-ho was not a rival to Kim Ki-young" "The master in play scene" "It was shocking for me here." "It just shows just as it was nothing." "Ah, it is after it?" "The corp to be brought" "Yes, it is" "Yes." "There is not a single hesitation at all." "There is neither hesitation wondering if audience think it weird or something nor any decoration at all." "It is direct." "It can be seen as a film of gesture when looking at performing." "There is feeling that they perform the behavior rather than words" "To be frank," "I found it nonsense in here when I saw it first" "How come to say to come the dead body" "In fact, Korean literature went to the extent." "Even Han Seung-won who deals with certain shamanic world cannot be thought that strong?" "It is same in Chun Seong-se case." "But Kim brought it here making a huge thing" "It is very strong because it's not an idea of bringing the soul but the dead body." "I didn't read much but as you mentioned before," "I have seen bringing of the soul but the dead body is new." "The plot of the film is quite complicated but there are a lot of underplots." "Here after having sex, it connects to discovery of the corp?" "Also it goes to the climax of having sex with the dead body." "When he was alive, he told he didn't shoot his scene." "Ah" "As you see later on, there is a nude. " I don't have memory of shooting such scene."" "Actress of that face." "Not to enable her performing because she has the obscene face is such..." "In the 70's?" "Director Kim told in that way that the Central Agency had him not do it since the face is too obscene" "According to Lee Hwa-si, she was told that later on but she was called by the Central Agency" "There were a lot to be called at that time?" "After hearing it, she was too scared to go home but to wander all over the country for a month taking a bus" "She ran away" "Yes, After that, film company contacted" "Kim Ki-young not to star her." "The official reason is obscenity" "At that time in the 70's, it was Bodo" "Yes, it was." "So the dominant are more corrupted but they insisted the dominated a purified lives." "I wish such times never comes back." "Yes, it is depressing." "Depressing." "I think it intriguing here." "Children come along like this, it is not about a flute boy" "By the way, in fact Lee Hwa-si is like another cancer in this village too?" "Yes." "But the children chase her, the cancer" "Ah, How can one say..." "when she talks like that" "So it is a house of witch" "Yes, it is" "Scary" "The scene is also very interesting, isn't it?" "Woman reading newspapers is just..." "It is almost equivalent to the last scene of ?" "I think of" "In a way, this scene is sad" "Yes, it is." "Yes, it is very sad" "From Min-ja point of view, Crying scene." "Sorrowful eyes" "Yes" "That is quite excellent." "Min-ja looks that sorrowful saying 'lt is decided not to connect the lineage' and the reaction is" "Those things are very physical, aren't they?" "Yes, they are" "This is about mix of saliva of male and female, through liquor" "We seem to like humor-tic films, don't we?" "I mean there are people who don't like much unless bodies get dirty, damaged or with sweats in films" "Or mixing saliva or humors together even though one loves another." "We are common in this way" "Yes" "Yes we like only these films?" "We don't like dull ones" "Yes, We hate soft ones" "And it is very compressed, Kim's films" "There are scenes as if we saw them for the first time even though we didn't in Kim's films?" "I wonder if there were scenes like these before even though" "I see them couple of times." "But it is not bad" "No." "Can I say it discovery?" "New, for instance this scene has not been like this but now by continuously seeing them, it comes with different meaning" "Whenever I see it, I wonder there is some emotion like this, of Min-ja, starred by Lee Hwa-si." "Even today there are a lot which I wonder if there were before" "This situation is very Kim Ki-young style." "Yes, and it comes closer and closer and it also connects to the previous scene" "At that time Lee Hwa-si was young, approximately just over 20," "so she wouldn't know what she was doing" "Staffs would also wonder what the hell the film is about." "I don't look down on them but I feel like it." "I also wonder today if there were many scenes that she carries red umbrella" "I remember the scene of newspaper," "I think one of the best but I don't remember the red umbrella scenes" "I remember the scene of first arrival to the island but I don't for those scenes I just mentioned" "Here the scene description of intercourse is very strange" "Foreplays before man and woman have sex such are very eccentric." "Yes and the way of having sex" "So to speak, it can be said a bad taste if one say badly" "In good way, it is a way of expressing their desire" "Here isn't it very shocking?" "Completely..." "For me, it is very very shocking." "Shock" "When she comes, door is open one by one" "She was counting money" "Yes, that face," "So this island is an uninhabited one?" "Yes, then the house might have been built making a set and shooting in another inhabited island" "Yes then he might have put them together" "So they stay in inhabited island and come by boat to shoot this scene, perhaps" "By the way, the music was all same at that time, wasn't it?" "Yes, I wish if the music in the film has been a bit better..." "It would have had higher level..." "Anyway until even the early 1980's there was sterile in music in Korean film scene." "And they gave one day on average" "Yes" "So they did it by a manual." "As a manual..." "They put serious music in that serious scene before" "This music can be heard in all the Korean films" "It is the most annoying in old Korean films." "If films of director Lee Man-whee have been good..." "This scene is too..." "Yes" "It does it again here, I mean putting hands" "And it is very strong" "Putting hands on water bubbles and ascidians" "The zoom gives feeling of fantasy" "As you told, flashback which doesn't follow the emotion line and such zooms in and out make the film kind of fantasy." "This feeling is understood." "Like that, when it zooms into the horizon, it looks like ascending" "In Kim's films, after two-third of it, all men become children" "Yes" "They become idiots, or they are physically damaged, or after then they are controlled by women and at the end, they offer sperms dead or they lie down dead" "It is in this way?" "So almost all the movies are like that?" "The desire of dying in woman's womb, it is regression desire." "It is regressive." "It seems like fretting to go back to mom's stomach" "Yeah, fretting." "Men are like this in most movies." "In a film, a man wear child's clothes biting mom's nipple" "Is it ?" "Yes." "They eat as they are fed" "Is it almost matchless to obstinately talk about this kind of story?" "Yes." "His private life is very interesting, intimacy with his wife and he lets his children be" "When I saw him, he said" ""I get up at 4 to make a table even nowadays"" "with his hands folded in front." "Ah" ""My wife has to go to work so I always make breakfast, good one every morning"" "It is when director Kim was making a documentary," "Was it shot by director Kim Hong-joon at that time?" "We talked what we would want to ask to Kim if we saw him?" "Someone seems to have asked why he continuously made this kind of films" "By the way, the way he passed is just his style in a way." "Yes." "The house was an abandoned one?" "He passed just one day before he was supposed to take off to Berlin Film Festival, which is dramatic." "You can say that again." "The weird scene making us speechless" "Lee Hwa-si's feet are not clean but black with a lot of dirt." "Strangely, I remember it too." "I don't know why they are that dirty, whether she walked on the set floor with nude feet or it was just a plan." "They have intercourse in a mosquito net, there is claustrophobia or something." "One cannot escape even though one tries..." "And it is in the island here." "Other films of Kim deal with certain limited spaces like interiors of a house or poultry farm" "It feels like self-destroy for survival in the closed space." "And the props like those knifes and metal things, Aren't they?" "A certain community is entangled with huge conflict, desire and rancor." "A film  is even same, isn't it?" "So to speak, it is very pessimistic viewpoint." "Yes, it is." "With the pessimistic viewpoint, he has made films for 30 years." "What relation does he have with Korea, what relation is it between politics, culture or society of Korea with him?" "I think it is necessary to think it over" "Why did these films come into being in the most violent fascist government since the middle 70's?" "It is meaningful." "Why don't you write the long writing on it?" "Long writing..." "You have a lot of things to do." "My capacity is low but there are loads of assignments to do" "Please make audience happy with your writing." "Ah, it is terrible here too." "This shot is not made by director Kim, as he insisted It is quite Kim Ki-young style, the legs on men's legs." "Kim Ki-young, yes, it is unbelievable." "Yes" "Ah, those two legs" "And then moving again" "This shot is very unique." "It is energy of this film" "Director is a nerd not only in the film text but in the real world, isn't he?" "Yes" "In Korean film exhibition of Lee Young-il, when John Ford came to Korea... he was one-sided blind" "When Korean film people went to have dinner, Kim wore white rubber shoes alone and John Ford was surprised" "Ah, Korean directors are strong" "There is one strong director" "But he seemed to wear the white rubber shoes in the 80s" "Yes, continuously, it was his trade mark." "Yes, he always wore them in the spots" "I talked about life and reproduction and there is a famous episode of director Kim" "When there was retrospect exhibition in Pusan film festival, he piled up food like mountains on his plate in the buffet party and he ate in a balcony without talking to people." "It is his party." "He went to a balcony and continuously ate food mainly meats so everyone was surprised." "Even though there is a guest in his house, he locks his room to eat two canned mackerel pikes." "It should be pikes." "He had something special himself." "Now, it appears at last." "It suddenly shows up like that." "It was very shocking." "The plan to have intercourse with a corp as well as its coming are such..." "But I don't know it scientifically" "I don't know either" "Isn't it great too?" "We took it from a The Sea God." "Human takes it from the God due to his longing." "And these two women to take sperms" "The shaman is very exultant?" "Yes, she won the God" "This corp is mine" "I remember here when Pak jeong-ja performed this shamanic act in Pusan International Film Festival" "The shaman." "When she was confused with what to do and asked director Kim" "He didn't say words but came to her just before the shooting, whispering her, "Isn't' it good during sex?" "You do it with this feeling."" "Pak Jung-ja said, " it is the first time to have that wonderful sex in my life."" "Here only women come to drag it" "There are only women" "Something like Amazon's is in here." "And as soon as the scene is changed here," "Lee Hwa-si is sitting closely inquired again" "Here comes the contract" "They are animals on the dead body" "They are." "But even though it describes human as animal, it is too delicate to be persuaded." "It is persuadable." "The direction is totally different, this film deals with" "Oriental view but there is fundamental similarity with David Cronenberg." "Yes, it is true" "Cronenberg's films confront the definition of humanism" "Here also it deals with what human is alike from the very new view of point" "What is human" "Basically it is animal" "Yes" "Reproduction, obsession of life" "It paradoxically reveals the very important fundamentalism of human" "It does." "It is thought as compassion?" "It is honest and respectful too." "We talked about children before but in fact all human directly talk about their own desire" "Before they talk 150,000 won and 200,000 won on the dead body" "Here it reveals completely" "They wonder which one is the right one and they are for Lee Hwa-si after she showed her wrist" "Human are like this" "Who did know it comes now after this scene here" "No, I didn't even imagine it" "The scene is with haunting energy" "There is a dead body" "Ah..." "This scene gave huge shock even in Japan" "The power of Kim Ki-young is like this." "There could be some clumsy when you see it later on..." "Yes but there is none like this in Kim's films" "Yes, it is." "Small objects are good but this kind of scene is overwhelming." "Ah" "It seems like that it describes something primitive and instinctive" "And that Harubang has been there since before" "This is necrophilia" "As for making this kind of film in the 70s" "I assume members in censorship council must have almost been fainted, people in Moral Commission?" "Performance ethics commission." "It is anti-human, what the hell is it the people in it couldn't understand this film." "They might not know the story and suddenly it comes like this." "They might almost have been fainted." "But director Kim was thought as a nerd in there too so he didn't experience the hard time like Lee Man-hee." "But it must be embarrassing" "Legs are uplifted and go again" "Here there is sudden murder" "Really..." "Here it feels like a hell destruction indeed" "It is same in  now the shaman controls all and she has power but at the end" "There is always sweats" "Thing director likes" "Isn't it only me who like it?" "You like it very much too." "I am seeing with laugh now but at first I was speechless with mouth open" "Yes, it is like electric shock" "Yes, It was" "And the very thing coming" "the words" "So we hear this word here, energy" "Words in the last scene are always nonsense." "In a film Neumi, when Ha Myeong-jung dies at the end, there is a line " When a human loses his will power for his own destiny, the god of death does not let him be" and it is over" "How could you memorize it?" "In some way," "Ah... certainly" "Certainly Lee Hwa-si is a face of 70's Korean films" "The face tells everything" "Now she gives a birth" "Yes, With the sperm from the dead body" "Yes" "It links to the first scene" "Obsession of lives, obsession of connecting a tribe, such things are very strong while it is also wild" "The view is almost cold." "As we talked before, with a certain pessimistic view point, human like animal fights each other, beat each other up, and take parts to reproduce and when we see this film, it feels like we watch cells one by one with a microscope" "In case of his films, because of a cinematic catharsis, pleasure or excitement but because of pains which we feel together" "I expect this kind of thing when seeing it" "Then there are echoes sticky, adhering to the depth of the heart" "And here, we don't know either whose child she is?" "Yes, look at the child separated" "Arms almost disconnecting" "When seeing Kim's films, sinful behaviors of human in all the scenes come with excessive energy to the audience" "It is a good film to think over what human is a like" "Yes" "As for me as a critic," "Kim Ki-young's films have resources such as waves or fountains" "Anyway by contemplating his achievements," "I think we need to discuss the present." "Now the film is over" "Yes" "Anyways, I feel honored to give this commentary to" "Kim's film I respect and love the most." "Yes, I feel honored too." "Here is the last scene we like."

"According to the witness' testimony, you killed him" "He must have committed suicide maybe missed his steps and fallen into the sea while drinking." "We make that conclusion." "I came from the newspaper" "Hello, sir?" "Is he the one who killed one of our reporter?" "Don't say at random." "I've fallen into Chun's trap." "Let's not insult the dead person." "Is there a motive for the murder?" "Sure, there is." "This man named the resort, "leodo"" "Chun was furious of using the name for a pink hotel of tourists." "He believed it as a hope and symbol of Cheju people." "He was going to obstruct the whole project!" "It was all planned!" "The murderer is also brazen-faced!" "We got a report from the island where Chun's from." "They say Chun's 3 forefathers were taken away by the water demons of leodo." "They are afraid Chun has met the same fate." "What's going on?" "Has the warrant been issued yet?" "Chun was murdered!" "There's no doubt!" "Your paper calls me a murderer, yet the police released me because I'm innocent." "It's a murder and you did it." "I resigned." "I'm going to find out whether he committed suicide or taken away by the water demon like island people say." "Forget about the island people." "Chun commuted from that island, right?" "Full of legends and unusual traditions of women divers," "I heard completely closed from outside." "In this modern era, that island keeps the traditional custom." "The tradition is preserved." "I should find the truth" "Please direct me to this island" "Murderer like you can be beaten to death." "Couldn't care less I want to find out the truth." "You are going with me, right?" "No way!" "Are you going to our island?" "Strangers seldom come here." "I'm from the newspaper." "I want to write an article." "Is Chun Nam-suk's house here?" "Half of the island is a village and the other half consists of rocks." "His house is on the top of the rocks." "Thank you." "She must be a girl diver." "Her yellow hair faded by the salt water is the sign." "With three times the lung capacity than the most people." "They can stay in the water for more than 5 minutes." "An average man dies in cold water in less than 10 minutes but girl divers can stay there all day long." "If you want to know all about Chun..." "go to the witch house where all the widows gather." "Who's that girl?" "She's the only barmaid here, obsessed with reading the newspaper." "The male population in this island is scarce..." "If a girl is born, she'll be raised to become a diver but if a boy is born, he is sent to the main land." "This is the customs here." "That way, please" "Yes." "Let's go." "Here we are..." "The witch is waiting at the backyard." "They are here now." "I've driven away all the demons in this island." "It doesn't matter whether you're from the newspaper or not." "He's the one from the tourist company responsible for the death of Chun Nam-suk." "The police had investigated him for murder once" "I've come to find out Chun's family background." "It might be an indirect reason for the death." "Where was the tourist ship heading for?" "We were to head toward "leodo," the legendary island." "To leodo?" "There's a fearful curse which runs in Chun's lineage" "I should know..." "I've done the exorcism for that family." "Hold that." "Here you are?" "Yes" "Did you catch a lot?" "There's nothing but stones no way any grain products can grow there" "We don't have any farms here." "Men die while fishing and women die while diving." "We're not afraid of death." "When we die while fishing, leodo invites our souls to its paradise." "No way." "I'm gonna make Nam-suk a pray of water demon!" "Men will die at sea, not in the surrounding of women." "Stop saying that!" "He's not gonna be a fisherman." "Dad, does leodo really exist?" "It's the belief of fishermen." "When we die, we'll be lead to peaceful paradise where we don't suffer from and have never seen before." "Here, have some of these." "I saved some for you." "I can't eat while you're looking at me like that." "When I was your age... my mother-in-law invited me to this very kitchen and asked me to be her daughter-in-law" "She put a tattoo on my arm, we made our promises." "She hanged herself next morning." "Now it's our turn to make promises." "It's a swear between girls." "There's something on your face." "Creeping up on me already?" "Honey, please look at the tides!" "You can go, you're out of your mind." "What about the weather?" "Just look at the clouds Can't you see the storms coming?" "Stop worrying." "I'm used to this unpredictable weather." "We'll return with the boatful of fish tomorrow morning and buy you some new clothes!" "Isn't that right, son?" "You'll be sorry in the middle of the sea!" "Honey, don't go!" "The tidal waves are pretty high." "All men should be going to the main land." "Mom, you're afraid of sea because you're a woman." "There aren't any men here." "We all send our sons to the land." "That's our destiny, the women divers." "But the fishermen will go to leodo for their eternal life." "If you get caught by the water demon you'll be nothing but a fish food." "I'll be all right as long as I don't go near the sea." "What are you talking about?" "The leodo water demon will catch even." "The ones sitting in their room" "Your five forefathers were sacrificed." "I'm afraid tonight may be your father's turn." "I'm leaving." "Please take me home." "All right" "Nam-suk!" "Dad!" "Mom, Dad's home!" "Honey, you're home!" "Honey." "What happened to you?" "We were shipwrecked." "I survived by holding onto a broken board." "All other fishermen swam." "Where to?" "We saw leodo in the storm." "What?" "And others started to swim toward it like mad people." "Honey, you must leave this island." "Once you see leodo, you'll be pulled in by its water demon." "You should leave this island." "Hurry, honey?" "When the sun comes up, you'll be off to main land." "Will we be all right crossing the sea?" "Your father will be blind-folded as not to jump into the sea when the water demon calls." "I'm all right." "The demon may have caught my forefathers." "But I'll be fine I'm not going to be its victim." "Go to sleep." "I'm going to back our belongings." "You'll throw away on the street." "People say blue halo is around our house." "No, the water demon's coming!" "Mom, look at the light!" "Honey, where are you?" "Give me back my husband!" "Return him to me!" "Nam-suk!" "The water demon's taking your father away!" "Give me back my husband!" "Return him to me!" "You damn ghost, give me back my husband!" "Get him back!" "Get him back!" "Get him back right now, now!" "This water ghost, get my husband back!" "Mom!" "Mom!" "Mom!" "Mom!" "Mom!" "Eat something." "You've got to eat" "Living one's more important than the dead." "I saw the whole thing but still haven't got a clue." "My mother says you have to run away before water demon catches up with you too." "Your mom, the witch, took all of our money for the exorcism." "I'm going to keep the promise I made with your mom." "I'll steal the money from my mother's safe." "Forget it!" "Nam-suk!" "Min-ja, over here!" "Did you bring the money?" "Yes, right here." "What are you doing?" "You're going to stay here." "I'll kill myself if you don't take me with you." "Take me with you, or I'll die." "We'll starve to death." "Don't be a coward!" "Nothing scares me as long as we are together." "Please wait for me." "I'll be back!" "Don't come back." "If you do, you'll be caught by the demon!" "Believe me, I'll be back for you." "I can't!" "Please trust me!" "Kill me before you leave then." "Or else, mom's going to kill me for stealing money from her." "I will come back..." "I will!" "Don't come back!" "Help me!" "Somebody please help me!" "Help me!" "Somebody please help me!" "I never saw Min-Ja again at the sea." "The family then disintegrated and scattered away." "Did Nam-suk come back only to be caught by the demon?" "Let's put aside the demon theory." "Competitive nature of modern society is more than enough to bring an end to a person." "You are the criminal!" "The witch will bring back Chun's body from leodo." "My pig's in heat." "I need a male pig." "She'll take care of it later." "I'll show you Chun's house." "It's nothing spectacular." "What is she doing?" "She's driving away the seagulls" "This is the kitchen where Chun's mother made the pact with Min-Ja for her to become his wife and bear his child." "That mother-in-law wanted to leave her offspring, but the daughter stopped it." "Why do they live here, when... they know they'll be caught by the water demon?" "Even if they run away to the land." "They'll be pulled by the power of the demon." "It's the same kind of allusion." "The demon is weak at exorcism." "We found all the bodies of this family." "I'll find the Chun's body too." "The witch is never afraid of the demons." "Anyhow, look for his friends." "All men are leaving this island." "Everybody's weeping." "As you can see, men leaves for the land only women remain." "Why do women remain?" "Women divers will be stifled if they live in the land." "This must be the house." "Let's have a look." "Hello?" "Are you Mr. KO Choon-kil?" "I'm from the newspaper." "I thought you may have some information on Chun Nam-suk." "You know, I was not born in this island." "I was lured by Chun's fantastic stories about the island women." "He said man can live here without working by living off women divers." "Where did you meet him first?" "We were living on the street then." "I met him at the back alleys of Seoul." "If we don't get any customers soon We'll gonna starve to death" "You, go to our island." "And women divers will feed you for all your life." "Just thinking about that makes me crazy" "The sea plays tricks with your mind" "If you narrow your eyes, the horizon comes near you but if you open your eyes again, it's far away." "Sometimes you see soaring clouds on top of it like the soap suds." "Clouds like the soap suds, really?" "I guess I should be going then I'm missing out all the fun!" "It's free for you" "Seal with your thumb here!" "It's an assignment for the shoeblack shop." "I can't." "I never give it to you" "What the..." "Your friend just sold it to me!" "What?" "He cheated on me?" " I'll kill him." " Come here" "You think you can make me die and only you can survive?" "I'll kill you" "Chun!" "Where are you!" "I'll kill you" "Chun!" "Chun!" "I told the witch about you." "Madam" "Smaller the pepper, hotter it is." "What did you do for living in main land?" "Everything, except killing people." "Can you kill a pig?" "If you can sleep with ten women divers a day." "I'll give you 100.000won per person" "Indeed it's Parangdo" "There're 500 female hogs in this island" "Only I have pure blood boar." "They don't come to me because they want mixed ones" "So, kill the boars in covert." "Then I'll have 5 million one for the seed money" "If we threaten, expel and kill men this way, there'll be only one left, it's you." "Take off your clothes." "Take them off?" "Lt'll cost you plenty." "You say it's too much?" "Everything costs more nowadays!" "I'm not being greedy." "You can live with the sea." "I have to have drink to live." "Go Choon-Kil, I see you are a powerful guy around here" "You fake, you sold off my shoe-shining space!" "You sold my island so we're even." "You said you'll never come back here." "Are you here to die?" "Who's she?" "Hey, you're not supposed to see it." "A rotten fish in a trash can." "Let's go, hurry up!" "For whom are we doing all these works?" "Certainly not for us!" "That's what I mean" "It's all vain!" "Nothing will be left!" "You're right!" "Why did you come back?" "I'm going to rebuild this island." "You have to invest some." "What's yours is mine and vice versa, right?" "I haven't got any money." "All of them went to bar girls." "You bastard!" "You got all those women divers, still need the bar girls?" "Divers are all over 30 years old so I only get to sleep with middle-aged women." "One of them paid me 100,000won last night." "100,000 won?" "That's what we used to get by shining 2,000 pairs of shoes!" "There you go, that's it." "Okay, right" "Can I have a talk?" "Aren't you going to visit my house?" "Do you feel like drinking alone at home?" "Drinking without side dishes can harm you drinking without women can have no taste." "I see, I see." "Come on, then." "Get away from it" "Aren't you really coming?" "She hid her real face under her make-up but the inside is all rotten" "If you get caught by her you'll get taken off your underwear" "By hearsay, she passes bad disease to all the men in island." "Where did she come from?" "Now I came here so I'll get rid of her for sure." "Once a month, the men holding lit candles visit a women diver." "The woman choose one among them." "The most primitive and the most modernized marriage." "If you want to live with island woman, bring candle lights with you." "Where many men come there many women divers are." "I won't be here for long." "I don't want to plant my seed in this island" "I have the perfect woman for you." "She's hard-working and has some money" "Is anybody here?" "Nobody comes here with candle lights on." "This is a friend of mine, Chun Nam-suk who's originally from this island." "Did you tell him I can't bear a baby?" "Come this way" "If I'm not your wife because I can't bear a child." "What am I then?" "Not a wife, more like my co-worker, secretary." "Secretary?" "Like a milkmaid, a nurse." "He's too big to be a baby." "Treat him like an adopted son, though he's bit old." "Feed him, give him some pocket money to drink." "No mother gives her son money for drinking." "He will be spoiled rotten" "Bring something to drink, can you?" "Strike the iron while it's hot" "How impolite to sneeze in front of lady!" "Come here." "Hey!" "Come on, hurry" "Huh, this" "Hey, you guys over there!" "What the hell is going on here?" "Nam-suk, are you swindling money here too?" "Give me back all the money!" "No!" "You must be crazy to betray your neighbors, friends." "I'm gonna straighten you out." "Stop it!" "People, please help him!" "Help him somebody!" "Stop the fighting, please!" "People, please help him!" "Are you on my side, or on this crook's side?" "Help me!" "Chun Nam-suk, You spent all the money and ruined this island." "You and I destroyed everything in this island." "Let's kill each other!" "Stand up!" "It's not my fault." "Luxury of mankind ruined this earth." "Lavishness of human beings destroy the Earth that our ancesters have preserved for billions of years" "Death is coming to us!" "I didn't do it." "All the fishes in the sea have died." "It's not my fault." "I'm going to die." "The earth is ruined." "The air is polluted, the sea is ruined and the big star's going to disappear." "The death is coming to us" "I thought Chun was insane" "I realized what he was doing, after he disappeared." "Has Mrs. Park put up all the money?" "Mrs. Park brought in money from a questionable source." "Chun pushed her to the limit." "Then, Mrs. Park took over the debt?" "That's what's strange." "People say Chun paid back his debt with his body before he died" "With his body?" "What do you mean?" "Go see Mrs. Park now, she'll tell you." "Won't you have a drink?" "All men in this island come here to relax." "Min-Ja is the only one keeping up with current issues by reading the newspaper." "People get the news from the land from her." "She has been to everywhere in Korea." "I'm sure Choon-Kil told you not to stop here." "He's evil, old man" "Chun Nam-suk swindled entire money in this island" "I heard you were the hunch man for his scheme" "I borrowed huge sum of money under the horrible circumstance" "I was probably killed because of that" "He was murdered?" "He committed suicide!" "What do you mean by "horrible circumstance?"" "What was the nature of his business?" "At the beginning, everyone thought his plan was the most hopeful one for this island." "Come to my house, you'll see what I'm working on now." "The divers are getting poorer because the ear shells are scarce nowadays." "My research is almost finished." "To put this into real practice, I need another million won." "What's this thing moving around?" "That's a worm in my body." "Are you ill?" "It's my seed" "Men needs 100 million sperms, notjust one, in order to cause a pregnancy." "Are you trying to have me impregnated?" "I'm studying the ear-shell planting." "So that your income will be increased by more than 10 times of what it is now" "The ear shells have their secret ways to make spawns" "If we find out that secret, we'll be rich!" "Why do you throw light on the ear shells?" "I'm stimulating them to get spawns." "When woman's menstrual cycle stops stimulating is needed to recover that" "It's been more than 10 years since my last cycle." "How can I be cured?" "Do I need to be shone some light, too?" "First stage of planting ear shells is a success!" "All these are spawns of theirs." "Your money enabled me to accomplish this." "I'm going to plant a million spawns at this seashore alone!" "But I need more money." "I want to create the biggest ear shell plant in Korea." "I haven't got more money." "Shut up!" "Gather up some more According to my plans." "This island will be richer within 5 years." "If this ever goes wrong, I'm gonna kill myself." "We'll be rich soon, I promise." "We'll be rich!" "We put up much money so far, and we know this is a sure thing." "We will have this island surrounded by billions of ear shells." "If it's such a big project, why don't you seek investment from the bank." "Instead of borrowing money from the women here?" "I want to do it myself." "Please go ask somewhere else." "The test has been proved a success." "Whoever invest their money to this planting will be a millionaire soon." "Rarely things turn out as one wishes If I had that much money..." "I'd probably invest on something else" "Nobody in this island is interested in our project" "Do you see anything behind me?" "No, nothing" "I thought I saw leodo." "If that was the one, I will die." "Honey, please wait a little longer." "I will take care of the money by all means." "Why can't you find the money source?" "This is a historical business in progress." "Go ask them over and over again." "Keep asking 10 times or 20 times!" "If that doesn't work, steal, rob..." "Do what you can do!" "You're not a human being!" "I'm not a human..." "I'm a dead body, to be eaten away by the fishes." "But I will do something before I die." "Here's the money." "Who are you?" "I'm a neighbor." "I came her to lend you a million." "With one condition." "If you can't pay back the loan within its term." "I'll take Nam-suk with me." "What are you going to do with him?" "I'll live with him until you pay back the money." "I want to enjoy the company of young man" "And don't try to find out who I am." "Here is the contract." "Honey, I got the money!" "Perfect!" "Now, everything's set!" "Honey." "Honey." "That's it, done!" "I borrowed it under a horrible condition." "No such thing." "If I can't pay back, the lender will take you away." "Must pay back with my body, huh?" "I will make the plant a success!" "I'm afraid that I sold you." "Who bought me?" "A rich, old lady." "She must be crazy." "I'll make her to regret this." "I feel good when you push me like that." "You'll never be away from me." "I won't let you go." "You said your body consists of several billion parts." "Our population is more than 40 million." "This is from our laboratory..." "How many fries do you have on the board?" "About 20 millions." "A large sums of money's been invested." "Fish around here have been dying without clear cause." "What?" "According to women divers, something happened to sea water causing them to die." "So I heard..." "What happened?" "What's the reason?" "It's the pollution." "Water pollution sewage seeping into the sea." "The color of ear shells has turned red." "All dead!" "We're ruined!" "How are gonna pay back all that money?" "Ma'am, have you seen my husband?" "I can't find him." "He may have been drowned" "All ear shells died, we put up 2 million won for them" "He's sleeping here." "He said he wants to die for his failure." "I stopped him with my body." "You can say, I sacrificed myself" "Can you get me some water?" "You're nothing!" "Don't you come back here again!" "You don't know what being a woman's like!" "Washing yourself wouldn't help." "You were saying as if trying to commit suicide instead, left your anxiety to that girl!" "We are completely ruined!" "It's true." "She even took away my tears" "What did she say?" "What about a million won we owe?" "I will die." "If dying can solve the problem I'll kill myself for you." "You can't die before you pay back the debt." "Now, as stated in our contract, I'll take Nam-suk with me." "You're too cruel" "Bring back my money, then you can take him back." "When I die, women in this island will share my body." "Take him with you!" "Nam-suk, you've bitten by a slut already." "No one eats off the trashcan." "Honey!" "Honey!" "Honey!" "He's a cruel man, ruthless one too." "The grandma who took him must have a hard time." "Who killed him?" "I wish I could have killed him myself." "Who was the old lady lending you the money?" "We don't need to find her!" "It's obvious who the murderer is!" "What do you mean?" "I'm innocent!" "After he died, my menstrual cycle has begun again." "Witch told me, she'll bring his body here and make me pregnant with his seed." "Get you impregnated?" "With the deadman's body?" "No one can find his body, I know it for sure." "Please, my divine spirit!" "I pray to you every night and day that you'll bring back Nam-suk here" "The spirit has come!" "Come here and listen to my hope!" "Here comes the holy spirit!" "Here comes the holy spirit!" "Escort the divine spirit to the room." "Make a space for a good sleep." "Wave the kids away from here." "You can't see this!" "Please stop, my divine spirit" "The thread is inserted!" "The thread is inserted!" "The thread of the spirit is within my body!" "Divine spirit, it's time to wake up." "The sun has risen" "Here you come today!" "You came from million miles away." "I will answer whatever you wish to know." "Answere right away" "I pray you bring back" "Chun Nam-suk to this island for the sake of this poor woman." "I see, I see." "I pray for you." "The water demon of leodo took all the men from this island." "The ones responsible for Nam-suk's demise are right here." "Straighten them out now!" "That's a lie, I didn't kill him!" "Let's hurry up and leave!" "The man beside why did you come to this island?" "I speak." "You came here to spread your seeds to women." "You'll only have daughters who will grow up to be water divers." "Get him!" "Tie him at the pigsty" "Free him after we receive hundreds of piglets." "Hey, come with me!" "Where're you going alone?" "People say Chun's killers are two men." "They fought each other so hard." "Intuition can kill men" "We will get beaten to die here." "I'd better leave tomorrow morning before I get beaten to death." "I suspected from the beginning." "Aren't you the one with the most influence in Chun's life?" "At that time, I was dealing with the pollution issues." "I needed an active assistant and Chun, he was one of the applicants." "You are not active enough to be my assistant." "There are many issues to deal with." "For example, the pollution problem." "Factories are killing all the fish with their pollutant" "Farm insecticides are killing all the honey bees" "Air pollution kills all living creatures!" "That was true." "It hurts me more than anything." "I would risk my life digging out these problems" "But it appears the human being have no future" "I like your sensibility simple and direct!" "Are you hiring me then?" "Thank you, thank you so much!" "Incredible!" "So much mercury in this water." "There will be no grass in this land." "No living things will survive, not even humans." "It's the end of the human existence!" "Stop saying that!" "Why not?" "All seafood are dying!" "I have to fight to stop it" "Hey Chun!" "I'm gonna fight for its cause!" "I'm gonna fight for its cause!" "Hello, Yang speaking." "What?" "Chun's in your custody at the factory?" "Where are you located?" "What's happening here?" "Why did you come here?" "I have to sabotage every factory producing pollutants." "You're out of your mind!" "I think my instruction wasn't clear." "Justice system is there for public's well-being." "If you want to be a good reporter, you have to let public be aware of the problem" "If you try to solve it yourself, you won't succeed." "Pollution is a murdering millions of people each day." "We can't leave it as is!" "Here, have a shot." "You too." "Thank you." "Drink!" "Such a tragedy!" "If we can just live looking at the sky, we wouldn't have to worry about anything!" "Live without any worries!" "I try to live nicely looking up in the sky." "Who's interfering with my plans?" "Chun Nam-suk!" "Chun Nam-suk!" "Who's interfering?" "Who is it?" "Chun Nam-suk!" "I put Chun on the "leodo" ferry before he had chance to recover completely" "I didn't know the ship was heading for "leodo"" "Maybe I'm responsible for his death." "You're not the murderer." "Soon or later, I'll find the murderer who killed him, both bodily and spirituall." "You're the one who pushed Chun into the water." "Who are you?" "You can't leave this island unless you replace the man you killed." "I want to have a baby." "She wants us to drink some more." "Here, have some more." "Living in leodo, living in leodo" "Even if "leodo" water demon catches you" "I'll ask you to stay here until I have a baby" "She's infatuated with you, woo-hyuk and you're the murderer." "Let's meet at my office." "I've got to make a Monday evening" "I must find out who lent money to Mrs. Park." "You're the only rich old lady in this island." "All you see in this bar are men." "You think I'm crazy enough to buy a man?" "You have the wrong person" "Then who is it?" "I can't find any rich old lady lending money to Chun Nam-suk." "Chun spent all the nights with the old lady." "You think you can get away with spreading nasty rumor like that?" "Chun troubled many people here and you are the ones responsible for his death" "I won't leave this island until I find that mysterious old lady." "Please stay." "You'll be the only male living here." "Where're you going?" "Why are you doing this?" "Bring something to eat." "Chun Nam-suk, come here and have some food." "I've got some food for you." "I've got some bread for you." "Have some rice cake," "Come here and have some food." "Come here and have some food." "Excuse me, mister." "They say there's an old woman who weeps every night." "Who's she?" "The weeping sound comes out from Chun's house." "It could be the ghost of Nam-suk's mother." "I'll give you some food." "I'll give you some food." "I'll give you some food." "Come back here, Chun Nam-suk." "Please, turn off the light." "I don't want you to see my face." "I came here to talk, not to see your face." "We are bound to get old." "Don't try to conceal it" "It seems like ages I've been waiting to meet you" "You let Chun die for his debt now you're trying to seduce me." "Did he send you here?" "If you let me have your baby, I'll treat you just as I treated him, with all my love." "I'm beyond sadness now." "Please, be him and help me find my joys again." "You are the barmaid!" "It was all your tricks after all!" "It was because I'm sad and lonesome." "Nam-suk promised to send a man for me." "So I can love that man just as I did with him." "You're the one, I'm sure" "Since when did you know Chun before you bought him off?" "I came here recently." "I'm from the main land, a vagabond." "You think I'll be able to settle down here?" "Make sure you never give up your body to anyone." "If you do, we'll have no business here." "I need my daily newspaper." "Please, have some drink with me." "Drinks come with appetizers and appetizers come with girls, come on!" "Do as you wish..." "If you want to eat, we'll have you If to drink, we'll have." "Bar isn'tjust for selling beers." "If you touch our woman, however you better be responsible." "It may be easy to catch a girl but it's impossible to get rid of her." "You're horrible!" "No wonder you're rich taking all the money from the customers." "We give you freebies too" "Since our arrival, there are 50 more bachelors here." "100 bachelors for me." "Living in leodo, living in leodo" "The pennies you save will be your husband's." "Living in leodo, living in leodo" "No business again today." "That's why I don't like the sea village." "Only when the fishermen stays in." "We get any kind of business." "Welcome!" "Come on in!" "This is a friend of mine." "I introduced him to a rich widow, He's buying to celebrate!" "Is that so?" "You know her, Mrs. Park." "The one who can't bear a child." "I made up my mind not to have a child." "Why don't you like babies?" "Men in this island, when they have babies make them feel more stronger." "I've got five kids already all arriving around same time." "I want to have a man with no desire for babies." "Once he gets one, he's bound to support the one" "Me too." "You're trying everything to make sea shells mate but you don't pay any attention to your won wife." "But you can't bear a child." "You don't have menses." "It's no use." "Who's responsible for me being this way?" "You and a girl agreed to run away but you tied her up at the shore and run away and left her to die like that." "You mean you're Min-Ja?" "I heard Min-Ja was dead!" "How do you know?" "She didn't die" "Ever since, because of the sickness I can't have any babies." "My mom left me because of the shame." "Are you really Min-Ja?" "I'm Min-Ja." "I thought you were dead!" "Unless you tie me up and beat me" "I don't think I can't have a child." "Please, give me a last chance for me to conceive a baby" "Are you really Min-Ja?" "I looked all over for you, even risking my own life" "I still hear your screaming at the shore." "Do you want me to repeat it?" "Tie the rope?" "I'm Min-Ja." "It's me." "My bones are broken, I can't breathe." "I'm dying, I'm dying." "What about this?" "I was crazy then" "You did this?" "Then what did you do?" "Huh?" "What did you do?" "I can't sleep tonight." "Jealousy has occupied my entire body." "I can't stand it." "I want drinks, bring them to me!" "Give me more drinks." "I'm ruined All my ear shells have died" "Before "leodo" demon catches up with me." "I'd betterjump into the water." "I borrowed money from everyone in this island." "How am I going to pay back all those?" "Give me something to drink!" "How can you be so mean to me?" "Then you won't have worries and will have courage." "Come on, let's be done before anyone comes" "It's for you." "Here?" "It's for you." "It's all for you." "Come on, hurry" "I'll make a sound with dishes so that she can't notice" "You don't consider me at all, it's too fast." "Have you seen my husband?" "I looked everywhere for him." "He may be drowned." "Where are we going?" "To your house." "My house?" "Who are you?" "Why couldn't you let me borrow your money?" "My money is full of shame I earned it by selling my body." "I made it at the risk of my life." "I'm completely ruined" "Do as you wish before throwing me into the water!" "I'm going to send you away from this island." "It's for my own good." "I can't leave yet." "I have to do something for this island." "Don't you read the newspaper?" "Those factories created all the pollution" "They need to compensate fishermen." "You need to go the land fight for the fishermen." "You'll going to let go of me, right?" "I'll join the staff once I get to the land." "You can leave." "I just can't leave like this." "You've done so much for me." "No!" "I don't want it" "I don't like to see you stay here because of your obligation to me." "Please leave before I get too emotional" "You shouldn't have any affection for me." "Honey!" "Honey!" "Why did you come back again?" "I was pulled back by something." "Leodo is pulling me." "That can't be." "You haven't recovered from the accident yet, that's all." "Let go of that rock!" "Please let go!" "I think I have brain damage." "After all, I'm being allured by leodo." "Please hold my hand." "I'm afraid if I let go, I'll be sucked into the sea" "Please hold my hand." "Trust me, nothing's going to happen." "No!" "No!" "Everything's been sent to the land." "We have to sleep on the fishing net." "Why did you come back again?" "I told you not to come here many times." "I start my newspaperjob tomorrow." "But I'm afraid." "I feel the earth is moving." "Don't you come back here for any reason!" "Why did you mention that..." "The fear disappears when a man and a woman are married and having a child makes them feel secured?" "You have to leave here pretty soon." "I'm trying my best not to pull you back in." "Why?" "Can't treat me as a person?" "Am I just a part of your possession?" "I'm afraid leodo will take you away." "My life is up to eternal destiny." "I'll do as you wish for tonight." "Tomorrow morning, you must leave." "I have to say good-bye to Mrs. Park." "I did something wrong to her ten years ago." "No!" "I'll kill you and kill myself if you do that" "Jealous!" "Actually I'm surprised you were a virgin." "After fighting off all those advances of others, why did you give yourself to me so easily?" "Tell me." "But you're different I don't want to talk about it." "I'll be on the ferry from the travel agency." "You can't." "Don't get on the ship!" "According to the ancient custom." "When a man leaves, he'll send his replacement to woman he loved." "Why do you have to follow such customs?" "Women in this island can only be impregnated right here, nowhere else." "But I don't serve two men." "You're just a barmaid!" "Hold me, someone's coming to get me!" "All men in our family have been cursed" "Hold me." "My mother was right." "She said I have to make a baby first and wait." "My mother was right." "My mother was right." "Please hold me" "I'm leodo." "The real leodo is me!" "Living in leodo, living in leodo" "The pennies you save will be your husband's." "No one can tell me the secrets behind Chun Nam-suk's death." "He just disappeared" "Did you see him?" "I thought it was a dream, a nightmare." "What happened?" "I'm uncomfortable with the customs in this island." "They make a child in a strange way, right?" "You're the replacement who Nam-suk promised, aren't you?" "Not me." "I've been to an obstetrician." "He says the physical conditions of women divers have changed." "Only the special men can impregnated them." "What are you going to do with me?" "Give me everything you got." "Don't confuse yourself..." "I'm sober." "I want to get to know you... and the secret." "I can't understand that exorcism." "Witch can't bring back Chun's corpse here." "She can't create such a miracle." "Chun will come to watch us." "Chun, you have to come now to let me conceive your baby." "Tell me what happened on the ferry that night." "Chun, tell us the truth." "We made the destination a secret one." "We planned to disclose it on the ship." "Please, tell me the facts." "Chun was surprised upon the learning of the ship's destination to leodo." "He started to go berserk and I had to calm him down by getting him drunk." "Maybe that's the reason why Chun's dead." "We couldn't find him that night." "You took the ship to leodo, Chun!" "How did you kill him?" "Nam-suk!" "Nam-suk!" "In the middle of the night." "I noticed that the bottle was empty." "That was not a dream." "It was a truth." "Man dies like that and is born this way." "Man dies like that and is born this way." "I can't believe that myself." "Nam-suk, it's me." "I'm delighted to see you again." "You think there's a such thing as eternity?" "Everything's momentary." "Eternity's only a word." "Destined to cheat mankind." "I'm finished with you" "You're only a substitute for Nam-suk" "Min-Ja, I see Chun's clothing." "It's only matter of time until we find his body!" "Come out here!" "Hurry!" "I see the body!" "Look at that!" "A corpse is floating!" "Oh, it's a corpse" "Come on here!" "I stole it from the leodo." "I stole it from the leodo." "I took him away from the water demon." "I took him from the leodo demon!" "Don't touch him yet." "He's mine!" "He is mine." "Did you come here for food?" "Did you come here for rice cake?" "Did you like sex?" "No, no." "You came here for my murmur," "Thanks to my spirit, my divine spirit!" "To whom shall I give this corpse?" "This corpse is mine." "I'm the one who asked for it!" "I've been asked." "Fight!" "Fight in blood!" "Sell it to me." "I'll buy it with 100,000 won" "I'll buy it with 150,000 won" "I'll buy it with 200,000 won" "I'll buy it with 250,000 won" "No, I'll." "No, I'll buy it." "Enough" "You'll pay only that small money?" "A corpse in cold water still has its sperms" "I'll let you get pregnant!" "Give me the money for your baby!" "Witch, I'll give you everything I got!" "I'll sell my house to give the money!" "Still not enough!" "Raise the stake bit higher!" "Make the witch rich!" "Gather all the people in this island Ask them who the real owner is" "Gather up all the people!" "Whose husband is he?" "Hold the hearing!" "Let's go, hurry up!" "Damn you!" "How dare you look down on us." "Insisting someone else's husband as your own!" "Choong-Kil arranged us to share our lives resulting in heavy debt because of him." "But you took him away from me and killed him off the island." "Why?" "Why?" "Answere right away" "Chun's corpse belongs to Mrs. Park with all the devotions she has shown." "Listen!" "I have a contract here, stating we'll keep Chun." "Until all the debt's been cleared." "Nobody can take his body from us!" "Is this how the humans talk?" "We got nothing else to say... the contract is no longer valid." "We rule by the law of this island." "I am from this island." "Who are you?" "I'm the permanent wife of Chun Nam-suk." "She's lying!" "He met this woman at the bar!" "Just for a night, no less!" "This is a thief." "I'm Min-Ja." "I offered my virginity to him." "When he left I made up my mind to follow him." "Min-Ja?" "It's Min-ja, for sure!" "That's lie!" "She's dead!" "I promised his mother I'll have his baby." "But I couldn't keep the promise." "Here's the evidence." "Look at that!" "Then why did you chase him away and let him die at the sea?" "I didn't even reveal myself to him" "Never had any chance to enjoy his company." "I was afraid he would become the demon's pray." "He can't be caught by water demon again." "That's why..." "Min-Ja, Chun Nam-suk's yours." "Such a sadness, a tragedy!" "I won't give up so easily." "I won't be beaten!" "Let's go." "I'll fulfill the wishes of Chun's mother." "I'll let you have Chun's baby." "Chun's seed is still alive" "Let's go." "Chun is waiting." "Go!" "You go first now!" "It's cold like ice." "Five millions of ancestors were involved and they struggled to bring forth a life into this world." "I can't help but to admire the tremendous energy of a woman who lives and works for a baby at the risk of her own life." "Why should she remain alone in this island?" "It's been three years since I last saw you" "All the people have left this island." "I'll stay here forever." "I must raise Chun's descendants." "His eyes look familiar to me." "Impossible!" "Don't feel so bad, he's not yours." "There's no connection between us islanders and people from the land." "Do you have any children?" "How can this be happening?" "How can this be happening?" "Grab his hand, will you?" "This is the farewell" "If you leave me alone." "Min-Ja!" "How am I supposed to live alone?"
