  (I translated Korean to English with the help of AI.)    It seems all truly excellent people don't adhere to the world's standards. Artists, in particular, go beyond just not following them; they actively dismantle them. Are the world's standards unnecessary? The commonality among artists who shattered the world's standards is that they were individuals who developed their fundamentals based on those very standards. These artists, who created new art, emphasized standard fundamentals when teaching their own students. You must understand what needs to be destroyed to find a way to destroy it.

  (I translated Korean to English with the help of AI.)    ( (This contains spoilers for the movies "Roman Holiday" and "Breakfast at Tiffany's".) It was personally very difficult for me to select just two of Audrey Hepburn's defining characters, because she is an actress I truly adore. So many of her roles come to mind, but I've come to the conclusion that you can't discuss her without mentioning these two. You could say that the character 'Princess Ann' from the movie "Roman Holiday" is Audrey Hepburn herself. While her filmography shows that she appeared in several films before "Roman Holiday," it's fair to say that the birth of Audrey Hepburn as an actress began with the character of Princess Ann. I believe few people would object to selecting Princess Ann as her first defining character, as she became an icon that transcends Audrey Hepburn herself and encompasses the entire history of world cinema. The problem lie...

  (I translated Korean to English with the help of AI.)    (There are spoilers for the movies "Hatari!" and "Born Free".) There is a TV documentary called "동물의 왕국" (Animal Kingdom). It was so famous that it was used almost like a pronoun referring to animal documentaries. It's simply amazing that it's still being broadcast. Works that gave me a fresh shock, like "동물의 왕국," among the movies I watched when I was young, are now flashing through my memory. It would be impossible not to mention the region of Africa when dealing with animals. Many films that seriously focused on animals were set in Africa. The movies "Hatari!" and "Born Free" are probably the most representative examples. What's surprising is that there still haven't been other feature films that have continued their legacy. My memories of the movie "Hatari!" are only faint fragments. What remains most vivid are the fact that the protagonist...

(I translated Korean to English with the help of AI.)    Spoiler alert for the anime film 'Laputa : Castle in the Sky' Humans without wings dream of flying in the sky. If that dream were realized now, would it disappear? Hayao Miyazaki and Ghibli continue to dream that dream – an unobstructed flight. "I've been deeply moved while watching Studio Ghibli's animations. Among those numerous emotions, there's also 'excitement.' Personally, a significant portion of that excitement came from the 'flying things' within their works. Many flying machines appear in Studio Ghibli's animations. The images above are just a small part of them. I've only included the ones I personally like and found impressive in the drawing. I especially love the flying things that appear in 'Laputa: Castle in the Sky'. 'Laputa: Castle in the Sky' is like a paean to flying things. Although it's said to be based on an episode from 'Gulliver's...

(I translated Korean to English with the help of AI.)  I've noticed that there are many people who consider keyboards very important. The world has come to a point where people with sensitive standards for keyboards are no longer seen as strange. Considering its importance to the extent that all work might stop if keyboards disappeared, this is understandable. I imagine a situation where I can't write because there's no keyboard. What I took for granted, the keyboard, turns out to be surprisingly difficult to replace. I picture myself having to write with a pen. Moreover, I have to write on paper. It's not even easy to find a piece of paper to write on right away on my desk. Thanks to consistently practicing handwriting, I've become quite comfortable with it now. I also have usable pens and notebooks within easy reach. Writing on paper with a pen results in a unique, singular existence. While it can be scanned and digitized, the feel of the ink on the paper and the ...

  (I translated Korean to English with the help of AI.)  (There are spoilers for the movie "April Story".) There are movies that come to mind when a specific month arrives. When it comes to "April," the movie that definitely comes to mind is "April Story." Shunji Iwai has many excellent works, including the most famous one, "Love Letter." When I think, "Should I watch a Shunji Iwai movie today?", the movie I choose most easily is "April Story." There are various reasons for this, but the biggest reason is its short running time. It's a 67-minute film. It feels like long, lengthy movies have been popping up everywhere since some point. When I get tired of long running time movies, watching "April Story" makes me realize anew how great it is to enjoy a film without fatigue. It's not like you can't feel cinematic emotion in a short amount of time. Rather, it's an emotional explosion. That's where thi...

(I translated Korean to English with the help of AI.)  (Spoiler alert for the movies 'The Mask' and 'Benji') You know, did you know that Superman has a dog? I vaguely remember seeing it somewhere... and it looks like it's going to properly appear in the new Superman movie. "Superdog"?! That got me thinking about special dogs. This scene is from a trailer for the new Superman movie scheduled for release in 2025. As of the time of writing (April 2025), it hasn't been released yet, so I haven't included a spoiler alert. What caught my eye in this trailer was the appearance of Superman's companion dog, "Superdog." Superdog's appearance seems like it could lead to very different outcomes: either childish or endearing. Could there be another dog that could stand against a Superdog with powers like Superman's? Ah! That's right, there was that dog! The one from the movie "The Mask" who wore the magical mask. In the movie...
