Fun Facts of Movie
- Ki-woo’s job, at-home tutor, was chosen because director Bong Joon Ho realized that sadly the job is the only way that families from two extreme ends of the class spectrum in modern-day South Korea can cross their paths convincingly in the story arc.
- The Parks’ house, said in the film to be designed by a fictional architect named Namgoong Hyeonja, was a set completely built from scratch. Bong Joon Ho did a lot of sketches of the basic structures for the rich house. He further revealed that when the production designer consulted an actual architect to design this house, the architect saw the sketches and said “no idiot would build houses this way. This is ridiculous.”
-
Won the Academy Award for Best Picture, becoming the first foreign language film ever to win the award. Won the Palme d’Or at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival, the first Korean film to ever do so. It became the third film ever to win both the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival and the Academy Award for Best Picture, after The Lost Weekend (1945) and Marty (1955).
-
The house was designed to feature lines that clearly divide the Parks and Kims. Stairs and vertical structures are a motif that runs through the entire film, which highlights the social divide between Parks and Kims. In fact, the director Bong Joon-ho called the project a “staircase movie” while filming it.
- According to editor Jinmo Yang, he edited the film in Final Cut Pro 7 – an editing program that Apple stopped supporting in 2011, on a computer that hasn’t had a software update since 2014. He received an Oscar nomination for his work.
