This is Woo-shik and I play Ki-woo from "Parasite." - I'm director Bong Joon-Ho who write and direct this movie "Parasite." - Yep, and this is "Vanity Fair Notes On A Scene." - Yeah! - Yeah! [speaking Korean] - It's something very natural talk about the rich and poor in this era, in this age, in this time. So, in everyday life, we always encounter those kind of, who is rich, who is poor, and why kind of question. Almost every day. It's quite natural to create those kind of story as a contemporary filmmaker, I think. - [Woo-Shik] The first scene is viewed from my house. [speaking Korean] - Semi-basement is specific the way of Korean living for the poor people, but actually, semi-basement means also semi-overground. - Yeah, so it gives you a little bit of hope 'cause it's not fully underground, but halfway. - [Bong] Actually, yeah, it looks like a real location but actually it's all-- - All made on set. - Set. - Yeah. - [Woo-Shik] So this whole street, this building, - [Bong] Actually, until, this is the border right? - [Woo-Shik] Yeah. - [Bong] Yeah, this is the set, the more far background is VFX. Photographic. - [Woo-Shik] We had this, uh, blue screen here, right? - [Bong] Yep, and the production design team, they did such a great job, and actually [speaking Korean] - [Woo-Shik] Yeah we actually found- - [Bong] And one guy is coming, your friend is coming [laughing] this man, this is you. - [Woo-Shik] Yeah, that's me. That's Kiwoo. He's oldest son of Park's family. - [Bong] And our father Ki-Taek is here. Name of actor is Song Kang-Ho. [speaking Korean] Great actor Song Kang-Ho, and mother, uh, her name is - Jung-sook. - Yeah - Yep - Very strong woman, and our youngest, Ki-Jung. - [Bong] This is very strange situation. Even very weird gift. [speaking Korean] - Wow - Wow [laughs] - [Woo-Shik] So this is a scholar stone, uh, and Min-Hyuk actually brought that to our family as a gift. - Actually, this is very weird situation. Nobody actually gift the stone like this - [Woo-Shik] Yeah. - [Bong] But yeah, this quite strange, but anyway, it happen in the movie but maybe this is very important moment in the movie. Why? - Uh, 'cause [laughs] - [Woo-Shik] This has very, uh, lot of, uh, symbols, this stone actually has a lot of symbols in our movie. - [Bong] This is just for the collectors some old generation collectors, they are collecting this kind of stone, but actually these younger generations never care - We don't really trade our stones or whatever, but in Korea, it's not usual gift to give a gift to other family about different stones. - So this is a very bizarre moment in the beginning part of the movie. - We didn't expect it [speaking Korean] - Actually, it's some kind of symbol of his desire 'cause the guy who bring the stone, is he from some kind of- he's your friend, but he's from different world. - Yeah. He- - [Bong] Actually he is a different guy. - [Woo-Shik] His economic status is very different than Ki-woo's, so our whole family is kind of surprised that he actually brought a gift to- - It's just a stone, but it's actually very expensive. [speaking Korean] - I really wanted to make the audience curious. Something funny is happen, something going on, but we don't know exactly, but it looks, it feels, uh, interesting. [speaking Korean] - [Woo-Shik] This is a funny face right there. - This is a very crucial moment in the movie. - Yeah, yeah. - The beginning part. - Yeah. - [Bong] Something- something bad happen. From this moment. Right? - [Woo-Shik] Mmm. The whole movie kinda started off from Min's uh, approach to Ki-woo, so. This uh, funny looking green bottle is actually very iconic uh, Korean liquor. It's soju. So this is Da-hye, and Min is actually giving us the opportunity to work as a tutor, uh, - [Bong] In rich house. - [Woo-Shik] In rich house. - [Bong] So this is the beginning of everything. Yeah. - [Woo-Shik] So not only he's giving us the stone, but opportunity for a new job, so he's doing a lot for Ki-woo. [speaking Korean] - It's quite common in Korea, college or university students to do those kind of English tutoring job, but problem is he's not - English student - English student - Yeah, that's the problem. So. This is your friend, but he's very rich guy. [speaking Korean] - My- my clothes from this movie, is very, uh, normal - [Bong] Your hair style is also very nerdy. [laughing] - [Woo-Shik] Yeah you can see my pimple there. Actually, we didn't cover it up purposely. - Pretty realistic. - Yep. And this guy doesn't really have skin problem, but yeah. [laughs] - [Bong] Not so many details described in the script, but I always discuss with the costume and hair make-up designers and those kind of detail things, we all intend it, but anyway, you yourself, look very contemporary, young. - And humble. - Young, humble. - Ordinary. - Poor boy, in Korea. - My clothing, I always had short sleeves. Costume designer actually gave me, uh, whole clothing set that is very smaller than my size, it was, the size was different. [speaking Korean] - Cause Ki-woo doesn't really have time to buy new clothings - [Bong] Kind of feeling - [Woo-Shik] Doesn't really care about fashion. This is very crucial moment. So yeah. - [Bong] Pretend to be a college student "Pretend" means a very important word. Yeah. Why? - Uh, because Ki-woo is not actually like a college student. But in order to have a very decent job as a English tutor you have to be a college student. [speaking Korean] - It's calm. It's beginning of calm. Beginning of some kind of crime, but [speaking Korean] - So I heard from Director Bong that he actually timed the bus at the back in this scene to match with the - This is some kind of borderline between the normal daily life world and to the some kind of crime world, which is not so serious crime, but anyways the world of crime and calm. - Very soft crime. [laughs] - So, at the moment, the bus is passing behind him, and the background music start. Yeah. - We actually took like three shots, three takes - Yeah, yeah. - It was kinda difficult to take that cause we had to time it with our dialogue and the dialogue was kinda really long. - Yeah, yeah. It looks quite normal sequence, but actually it was quite subtle and indicate sequence, we have to control and, and yeah. - [Bong] Very soft and subtle. We always want to hide our intention but yeah it just happen naturally, so. [speaking Korean] - Um, "they" means Park's family, rich people, and not a college student, but you are going to do it. - Cause I believe, uh, in order to go into a different family as a tutor, you actually have to
