3
00:00:37,955 --> 00:00:41,416
The apartment building
looks cleaner now.

4
00:00:57,266 --> 00:00:58,600
This is...

5
00:00:59,142 --> 00:01:00,227
Oh...

6
00:01:02,271 --> 00:01:04,398
That's the exit.

7
00:01:07,359 --> 00:01:09,903
I'm not sure.

8
00:01:14,199 --> 00:01:19,329
It's the hallway where Choi Min-sik
puts on sunglasses and walks out.

9
00:01:22,916 --> 00:01:29,923
I think this is where I fell on the car.

10
00:02:02,331 --> 00:02:08,337
Those apartments weren't there
when we filmed 10 years ago.

11
00:02:09,087 --> 00:02:15,218
There was a lot of bristle grass
back then.

12
00:02:15,344 --> 00:02:19,556
Once we came out in late August
and it was cloudy.

13
00:02:20,182 --> 00:02:24,353
I was supposed to commit suicide,

14
00:02:24,478 --> 00:02:28,523
but the sky needed to be blue.

15
00:02:30,025 --> 00:02:34,655
So you'd think,
"It's a good day to die."

16
00:02:34,780 --> 00:02:41,161
But it was too cloudy, so we left.

17
00:02:41,286 --> 00:02:43,830
Things didn't work out
the next time either.

18
00:02:43,955 --> 00:02:50,837
We waited all morning
and then filmed when the fog lifted.

19
00:02:50,962 --> 00:02:52,881
We couldn't keep delaying.

20
00:02:54,299 --> 00:02:59,638
It was really tough.
There was a safety harness of course.

21
00:03:02,557 --> 00:03:09,564
I'm afraid of heights,
so I was really scared.

22
00:03:09,690 --> 00:03:16,988
I wanted to get out of it, so I asked
the director why he'd cast me.

23
00:03:21,243 --> 00:03:25,831
We used to look at the sky
over there while waiting.

24
00:03:27,290 --> 00:03:32,838
The Han River is there.
We're at the edge of the city.

25
00:03:34,631 --> 00:03:39,928
The sky above us is blue,

26
00:03:40,053 --> 00:03:43,640
but there's smog over the city.

27
00:03:45,016 --> 00:03:47,561
It was very foggy then.

28
00:03:52,691 --> 00:03:54,109
Look at that.

29
00:03:58,321 --> 00:03:59,906
Impressive.

30
00:04:21,678 --> 00:04:25,098
I probably wouldn't agree

31
00:04:25,223 --> 00:04:29,853
if someone asked me now.

32
00:04:29,978 --> 00:04:32,355
I'd have to rewrite the whole thing.

33
00:04:32,481 --> 00:04:39,446
I said yes when nothing had been
decided about how to do it.

34
00:04:40,322 --> 00:04:45,243
I guess I had confidence
in everything back then.

35
00:04:45,911 --> 00:04:50,582
I think I was about 31 years old.

36
00:04:53,251 --> 00:04:58,340
I was bored
so I went to a comics store.

37
00:04:59,341 --> 00:05:03,929
Our screenwriter Hwang once told me

38
00:05:04,054 --> 00:05:08,850
that Oldboy, the graphic novel,
was really good.

39
00:05:08,975 --> 00:05:17,067
There was this one frame
in the manga.

40
00:05:17,192 --> 00:05:23,865
A closeup of a guy's face,
and it looked like Choi Min-sik.

41
00:05:23,990 --> 00:05:29,246
I saw that and thought
he'd be great for the role.

42
00:05:29,371 --> 00:05:34,918
Once Choi was cast
in the leading role,

43
00:05:35,502 --> 00:05:38,380
it was clear

44
00:05:38,505 --> 00:05:47,222
how Sympathy for Mr Vengeance
and Oldboy would differ.

45
00:05:47,347 --> 00:05:51,935
Kind of like the difference between
Song Kang-ho and Choi Min-sik.

46
00:05:52,394 --> 00:05:56,940
Things proceeded so smoothly

47
00:05:57,065 --> 00:06:02,821
that I couldn't imagine
the later troubles.

48
00:06:17,544 --> 00:06:21,464
Choi had played
some very diverse roles,

49
00:06:21,590 --> 00:06:26,720
but I really wanted to portray him

50
00:06:26,845 --> 00:06:30,140
as a classic hero.

51
00:06:33,393 --> 00:06:35,395
- Wow.
- Welcome back!

52
00:06:38,565 --> 00:06:42,694
It's been ages.
That picture's still here.

53
00:06:45,322 --> 00:06:47,449
- Hello.
- Welcome.

54
00:06:48,325 --> 00:06:50,035
Hello.

55
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,622
They filmed lots of stuff here.
Closer to Heaven was shot here.

56
00:06:55,916 --> 00:06:58,585
I guess we filmed on May 21.

57
00:06:59,586 --> 00:07:02,464
We put up bead curtains here.

58
00:07:03,423 --> 00:07:05,759
We thought it'd look nice.

59
00:07:05,884 --> 00:07:08,511
We shot here, right?
Here it is.

60
00:07:09,346 --> 00:07:13,516
The name of the room is "Oldboy".
Wow!

61
00:07:15,894 --> 00:07:19,814
I remember it now
as a very happy experience.

62
00:07:20,649 --> 00:07:23,360
From the very start,

63
00:07:23,485 --> 00:07:32,661
Park, Lim and I wanted
to wholly reconstruct the manga.

64
00:07:32,786 --> 00:07:37,749
We drank a lot
and talked our tongues off!

65
00:07:37,874 --> 00:07:45,840
We had script meetings
twice a week

66
00:07:45,966 --> 00:07:51,596
for almost three months at a cafe.

67
00:07:51,721 --> 00:07:58,436
I was debating with Lim

68
00:07:58,561 --> 00:08:03,024
when I had to go to the restroom.

69
00:08:03,650 --> 00:08:09,531
It occurred to me then that
the key to surpassing the original story

70
00:08:09,656 --> 00:08:14,536
was not why he was imprisoned,
but why he was let go.

71
00:08:14,661 --> 00:08:21,042
I went and told Lim
as soon as I got out of the restroom.

72
00:08:22,043 --> 00:08:26,923
The incest and everything else
came out then.

73
00:08:27,048 --> 00:08:35,015
He said he must do it that way
or he wouldn't do it at all.

74
00:08:35,140 --> 00:08:42,355
I remember the director saying,
"He didn't know what he'd done."

75
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:49,154
It's not Oh Dae-su's sexual taste.
It's a form of revenge. It's true.

76
00:08:49,988 --> 00:08:53,116
Then what about Shakespeare?
Or Oedipus?

77
00:08:54,576 --> 00:09:00,707
When Choi agreed, I couldn't believe it.
We'd get to work with Choi Min-sik.

78
00:09:00,832 --> 00:09:08,673
He came into the office every day,
and we all got along so well.

79
00:09:09,507 --> 00:09:12,177
I'm Yoo Ji-tae
and I play Lee Woo-jin.

80
00:09:14,429 --> 00:09:22,395
I heard they wanted
someone to play Woo-jin.

81
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:34,199
I saw someone turn down the part,
but I never dreamed I'd be asked.

82
00:09:34,699 --> 00:09:37,786
I remember Choi calling me.

83
00:09:38,578 --> 00:09:49,339
I read the script and told him and
the director that I really wanted the part.

84
00:09:49,464 --> 00:09:52,383
I was 28 back then.

85
00:09:52,509 --> 00:09:59,349
I think life experience
is more important than age.

86
00:09:59,474 --> 00:10:07,023
Mr Choi was a really respected actor
with a lot of experience,

87
00:10:07,148 --> 00:10:09,442
so I was intimidated.

88
00:10:09,567 --> 00:10:16,825
I cast Yu as a man two years younger
than Choi, so I thought anything goes.

89
00:10:16,950 --> 00:10:27,919
The unconventional casting of Yu
paradoxically made the movie more violent.

90
00:10:28,044 --> 00:10:30,755
Do you like your clothes?

91
00:10:32,423 --> 00:10:40,932
I observed auteur directors
and tried to mimic them in my acting.

92
00:10:41,057 --> 00:10:43,810
That was the way
to reduce the number of takes.

93
00:10:43,935 --> 00:10:45,311
Back then.

94
00:10:48,606 --> 00:10:50,608
Catch your breath.

95
00:10:50,733 --> 00:10:54,904
You wanna talk about something else first?
And tell him to stay lying down?

96
00:10:56,573 --> 00:11:01,536
I haven't worn a skirt in ages.

97
00:11:01,661 --> 00:11:03,580
- It's uncomfortable?
- I'm nervous.

98
00:11:03,705 --> 00:11:10,503
Before Oldboy, I'd auditioned
for a Ryoo Seung-wan movie.

99
00:11:10,628 --> 00:11:20,305
I don't think I prepared that much then,
so I decided to make a fresh start.

100
00:11:20,430 --> 00:11:25,935
I decided to give everything I had
for the Oldboy audition,

101
00:11:26,060 --> 00:11:32,734
so I dived into it with no shame.

102
00:11:32,859 --> 00:11:35,570
I thought she was a bit weird
at the audition.

103
00:11:35,695 --> 00:11:42,577
She'd brought a real sashimi knife
from a Japanese restaurant.

104
00:11:43,494 --> 00:11:49,959
I asked where she got it and she said
she borrowed it from a nearby restaurant.

105
00:11:50,627 --> 00:11:52,545
I thought she was lying.

106
00:11:52,670 --> 00:11:57,800
I told the assistant director
to go and check, and it was true.

107
00:11:57,926 --> 00:12:00,720
I didn't know that chefs don't
ordinarily lend their knives.

108
00:12:00,845 --> 00:12:05,350
I thought, "He has plenty of them.
So what's the big deal?"

109
00:12:05,475 --> 00:12:14,025
I'd heard rumours she was emotional,
overly sensitive and unpredictable.

110
00:12:14,150 --> 00:12:19,113
So I was worried,
but it turned out not to be true.

111
00:12:19,239 --> 00:12:25,453
The director said he saw me trip
over my heels while leaving,

112
00:12:25,578 --> 00:12:30,917
and that's why he cast me.

113
00:12:32,252 --> 00:12:38,383
But I believe I got the part
because I tried really hard!

114
00:12:45,306 --> 00:12:47,433
I still cringe at that.

115
00:12:48,851 --> 00:12:50,687
I was so young.

116
00:12:52,522 --> 00:12:55,775
I don't think I could act like that now.

117
00:12:55,900 --> 00:12:58,987
It was possible
because it was back then.

118
00:13:04,617 --> 00:13:06,035
Yes, I'm up!

119
00:13:08,454 --> 00:13:10,290
We need to cut some here.

120
00:13:10,415 --> 00:13:14,502
The Oh Dae-su I remember
was hot-tempered.

121
00:13:14,627 --> 00:13:20,800
I thought there was something in his
environment that he couldn't overcome.

122
00:13:20,925 --> 00:13:28,641
So that made me think
of extended and very curly hair.

123
00:13:29,100 --> 00:13:32,603
I told Choi that I wanted
to give him this hair.

124
00:13:33,187 --> 00:13:37,358
He said,
"You think I'm a young rapper?"

125
00:13:38,609 --> 00:13:44,324
At first... I said it looked like
a rotten thatched roof.

126
00:13:44,449 --> 00:13:50,455
Even for someone locked up
for 15 years, it was too much.

127
00:13:51,205 --> 00:13:53,124
But she insisted on it.

128
00:13:53,249 --> 00:13:58,838
Director Park who was mediating
in the middle

129
00:13:58,963 --> 00:14:05,511
said they should let me do it
since I really wanted it.

130
00:14:05,636 --> 00:14:10,391
Companies made pre-production
posters back then,

131
00:14:10,516 --> 00:14:14,062
so he said, "Let's just try it, and we'll do
a new one if it doesn't work."

132
00:14:14,187 --> 00:14:21,861
It was called a foil perm.
You have to have done it to understand.

133
00:14:21,986 --> 00:14:27,283
Your hair gets wrapped up in foil
for three hours.

134
00:14:28,659 --> 00:14:34,207
I thought they'd put my hair
in the microwave.

135
00:14:35,041 --> 00:14:40,463
I didn't need to convince them.
I showed them the image.

136
00:14:40,588 --> 00:14:47,303
The director and the cast saw the photo,
and that was enough.

137
00:14:47,428 --> 00:14:50,431
It was all decided from then.

138
00:14:51,933 --> 00:15:02,151
I really wanted Choi to respect my role
as make-up and hair director.

139
00:15:03,444 --> 00:15:07,949
In order to give my character
a hard edge,

140
00:15:08,074 --> 00:15:11,160
they slicked my hair back like this.

141
00:15:11,285 --> 00:15:15,039
At first, the director disagreed.

142
00:15:15,164 --> 00:15:22,380
But I didn't suggest any other hairstyle.
I followed him around, insisting on it.

143
00:15:22,505 --> 00:15:26,426
I wore him down until he gave in.

144
00:15:26,551 --> 00:15:30,847
My roots stand up like this.

145
00:15:31,305 --> 00:15:37,395
So they gave me a strong
straightener to flatten my hair.

146
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:43,317
The stuff was so strong
that my hair fell out, like this...

147
00:15:43,443 --> 00:15:49,365
He almost became bald.
He had a hard time, so I felt really bad.

148
00:15:50,450 --> 00:15:56,205
I had to fight for everything back then.

149
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:06,299
I was new back then, so I didn't know
Korean films or industry trends.

150
00:16:06,424 --> 00:16:11,554
I think I was the youngest member
of the main crew.

151
00:16:11,679 --> 00:16:20,521
The director wrote notes on the script,
intentionally or unconsciously.

152
00:16:20,646 --> 00:16:23,149
Things that had to be visualised.

153
00:16:23,691 --> 00:16:32,033
Mi-do and Oh Dae-su are always together
so I wanted her clothes to have patterns.

154
00:16:32,158 --> 00:16:42,585
I tried to think of something
that could give the film consistency.

155
00:16:43,169 --> 00:16:50,676
The patterns and the film's situations
matched each other well.

156
00:16:51,177 --> 00:16:57,225
I see that now. At the time,
I just thought the clothes were cool.

157
00:16:57,350 --> 00:17:02,021
- Have we met before?
- Search for the Best Chef

158
00:17:02,146 --> 00:17:05,441
The fabric I got for Oh Dae-su

159
00:17:05,566 --> 00:17:09,904
had a kind of pin-striped pattern.

160
00:17:10,029 --> 00:17:16,869
The style of his outfit
had to match that of Lee Woo-jin.

161
00:17:18,538 --> 00:17:20,998
Our budget was too small.

162
00:17:21,123 --> 00:17:24,752
I don't know how I did all that
on that budget.

163
00:17:26,337 --> 00:17:29,257
So I decided on this.

164
00:17:29,382 --> 00:17:36,055
I had him wear similar clothes
all the time.

165
00:17:36,180 --> 00:17:42,311
He seems to wear only one suit,
but there are dozens of them in his closet.

166
00:17:42,436 --> 00:17:44,605
Not many people will remember,

167
00:17:44,730 --> 00:17:47,525
but three buttons were trendy
for men's suits.

168
00:17:47,650 --> 00:17:51,112
I told the director we should have two.

169
00:17:51,237 --> 00:18:04,083
That's what the coolest guys
in French Noir or ‘60s-70s films wore.

170
00:18:04,208 --> 00:18:10,464
I remember Director Park said,
"I don't like three buttons either."

171
00:18:11,340 --> 00:18:17,930
So we did that,
and these days two buttons are in.

172
00:18:18,055 --> 00:18:22,476
Movies have to lead the trends.
But it's always hard.

173
00:18:33,529 --> 00:18:37,283
I'm shooting an Oldboy interview.

174
00:18:39,118 --> 00:18:39,493
Yes.

175
00:18:40,703 --> 00:18:42,580
You always call at weird times.

176
00:18:43,414 --> 00:18:47,251
I'm at Jangchung-dong
where we did the first day of filming.

177
00:18:49,253 --> 00:18:51,172
Yes. The first location.

178
00:18:52,256 --> 00:18:54,091
I'm on camera now.

179
00:18:56,761 --> 00:18:59,013
It's just me.

180
00:19:02,099 --> 00:19:03,225
No, it's okay...

181
00:19:03,351 --> 00:19:06,103
"How are you going to shoot this?"

182
00:19:06,228 --> 00:19:08,356
Solsaid afewthings,

183
00:19:09,940 --> 00:19:13,110
and I was hired soon after.

184
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,614
"I want continuous movement.

185
00:19:18,491 --> 00:19:21,410
"And I want to use a lot of green.

186
00:19:22,203 --> 00:19:24,246
"I want to use a telephoto lens often.

187
00:19:25,081 --> 00:19:27,375
"And the camera should always
be moving,

188
00:19:27,500 --> 00:19:31,754
"forwards and backwards,
but also up and down."

189
00:19:38,302 --> 00:19:41,097
Camera movement was
really important for that scene.

190
00:19:41,222 --> 00:19:48,979
I was a complete newbie and it was
the first time I'd seen a 35mm camera.

191
00:19:49,105 --> 00:19:54,485
The camera moved along a dolly
and I had to step in at the right time.

192
00:19:55,277 --> 00:20:03,703
It was the first time for me,
so I was 120% nervous during filming.

193
00:20:03,828 --> 00:20:05,913
That was the first camera movement
while filming Oldboy.

194
00:20:07,665 --> 00:20:10,418
It wasn't originally a moving shot.

195
00:20:11,669 --> 00:20:17,174
And that was the first of many times
that we used a wide angle lens.

196
00:20:17,299 --> 00:20:21,178
I think the film's camera movements
were well coordinated.

197
00:20:21,303 --> 00:20:30,896
People still talk about it.
I wonder how we did it like that.

198
00:20:31,021 --> 00:20:32,606
We'll start slow.

199
00:20:32,732 --> 00:20:34,442
- Roll.
- 1A-2!

200
00:20:35,860 --> 00:20:37,278
Cut. Again.

201
00:20:39,363 --> 00:20:42,408
Why are you starting when I haven't
even said ‘Ready' or ‘Action'?

202
00:20:42,533 --> 00:20:45,703
Yes. The camera moved in like this.

203
00:20:46,454 --> 00:20:51,208
We set up over there.
The store name's been changed.

204
00:20:53,711 --> 00:20:55,504
- Okay.
- Okay!

205
00:20:58,716 --> 00:21:00,509
We've already shot half the movie!

206
00:21:01,051 --> 00:21:06,182
I thought, "This is it!"
because it was the first shoot.

207
00:21:06,307 --> 00:21:07,433
Yeah.

208
00:21:10,311 --> 00:21:16,233
I think we set up a second time
over there.

209
00:21:27,703 --> 00:21:36,712
We put the monitor here
and shot Choi following Mi-do.

210
00:21:38,130 --> 00:21:43,219
Was it always this narrow?
I thought it was wider then.

211
00:21:44,345 --> 00:21:50,100
The director's instructions for Choi
when he turned around were complicated.

212
00:21:50,851 --> 00:21:56,357
"You're crying but you're laughing."
I couldn't understand it.

213
00:21:57,191 --> 00:22:05,449
Director Park said later that day
that when Choi turned around,

214
00:22:05,574 --> 00:22:11,664
he could see in his face
where the film would go.

215
00:22:11,789 --> 00:22:14,124
I was just tired.

216
00:22:14,792 --> 00:22:19,213
It was the first day,
so we didn't have many takes.

217
00:22:21,298 --> 00:22:28,556
I wonder today, if I can make films
as fearlessly as I did then.

218
00:22:29,139 --> 00:22:34,270
I think we were all brave then.
Even the director.

219
00:22:34,895 --> 00:22:40,734
We can be again someday.

220
00:22:46,448 --> 00:22:48,993
Shall we visit the grave tomorrow?

221
00:22:55,165 --> 00:22:56,667
No.

222
00:22:56,792 --> 00:22:59,128
First i have to kiil that bastard.

223
00:23:06,260 --> 00:23:08,429
When the music begins,
gas is released.

224
00:23:11,849 --> 00:23:14,476
Look around right away.
Then, no muttering.

225
00:23:16,061 --> 00:23:19,440
So when I hear that sound,
I should stop talking?

226
00:23:24,570 --> 00:23:28,324
I was so inexperienced then.

227
00:23:28,782 --> 00:23:34,747
I was doing things
that could badly affect the movie.

228
00:23:34,872 --> 00:23:40,711
Every time we set up for a scene
and the cast and crew arrived,

229
00:23:40,836 --> 00:23:43,047
my heart beat so fast.

230
00:23:43,172 --> 00:23:49,720
What if we place the actors here and
they feel distracted? It'll be my fault.

231
00:23:49,845 --> 00:23:56,018
I thought this film could end up
being my last project.

232
00:23:56,143 --> 00:23:58,562
I keptthinking that.

233
00:24:01,607 --> 00:24:08,530
It said in the script
that there were repetitive patterns.

234
00:24:08,656 --> 00:24:17,873
Geometric prints weren't common,
but I thought we should go retro.

235
00:24:17,998 --> 00:24:21,585
The first room was green.

236
00:24:23,462 --> 00:24:32,805
Not clear green, a grotesque mixture
of olive green and dull greens.

237
00:24:32,930 --> 00:24:36,558
Green is the colour of nature,

238
00:24:36,684 --> 00:24:45,526
but it's also used in portraits
of the sick or the crazy.

239
00:24:45,651 --> 00:24:47,486
Woo-jin's colour.

240
00:24:47,611 --> 00:24:56,704
He has energy and passion mostly for revenge.

241
00:24:56,829 --> 00:25:02,960
A cold purple would be
the best colour to show that.

242
00:25:03,085 --> 00:25:10,342
I mixed purple patterns in places
where Woo-jin was prominent.

243
00:25:10,467 --> 00:25:16,181
In the end,
Mi-do gets locked up in the room.

244
00:25:16,306 --> 00:25:23,480
Director Park wanted a completely
different colour scheme then.

245
00:25:24,565 --> 00:25:28,652
There's a lot of confined,
claustrophobic space.

246
00:25:28,777 --> 00:25:32,614
So we naturally thought
of certain lighting tones.

247
00:25:33,115 --> 00:25:41,582
The green light we use in movies
isn't a natural green.

248
00:25:46,962 --> 00:25:50,215
All i could think at that moment...

249
00:25:51,633 --> 00:25:55,596
All the lighting in Oldboy
had some green in it.

250
00:25:55,721 --> 00:26:01,935
In the script, Oh Dae-su spent years
locked up in a room.

251
00:26:02,061 --> 00:26:07,024
After time passed, it looked like mould.

252
00:26:07,149 --> 00:26:14,656
We shot on film then,
and green is a colour everyone rejects.

253
00:26:14,782 --> 00:26:19,661
Everyone thought that green
shouldn't show up on film.

254
00:26:19,787 --> 00:26:23,165
I thought that green should be
expressed.

255
00:26:23,290 --> 00:26:29,004
I don't usually make decisions quickly.

256
00:26:29,129 --> 00:26:37,638
I took my time. I thought I should use
the colour the film industry hates the most.

257
00:26:38,305 --> 00:26:42,476
He's not a technician.
He's a true artist.

258
00:26:43,852 --> 00:26:51,985
He really worked endlessly
to find what was right for the story.

259
00:26:52,111 --> 00:26:59,993
And he knew best how to use green,
which I had always tried and failed at.

260
00:27:00,577 --> 00:27:08,627
Jung was such a newbie then,
though he's a master now.

261
00:27:09,336 --> 00:27:12,714
He was just a babe in the woods then.

262
00:27:24,852 --> 00:27:26,270
This one...

263
00:27:29,148 --> 00:27:31,608
That's okay, too.

264
00:27:31,733 --> 00:27:34,236
A bit sleepy but I smile again.

265
00:27:36,905 --> 00:27:38,282
My back!

266
00:27:42,786 --> 00:27:44,746
His back got chafed too much.

267
00:27:45,664 --> 00:27:46,874
Oh, no.

268
00:27:57,718 --> 00:28:00,053
Watch out for this thing!

269
00:28:02,890 --> 00:28:06,226
I'm more worried
about my manhood than my back.

270
00:28:10,230 --> 00:28:11,940
We appeared in a lot of scenes.

271
00:28:12,065 --> 00:28:19,615
Jang-hyuk always plays policemen
on the scanner in Park's films.

272
00:28:19,740 --> 00:28:26,914
He served as a riot cop,
so he knows all the jargon.

273
00:28:27,748 --> 00:28:29,750
Even on Sympathy for Mr Vengeance.

274
00:28:29,875 --> 00:28:36,089
He came and shot
police scenes in my film, too!

275
00:28:36,924 --> 00:28:40,260
I punched the wall often
in the cell scenes.

276
00:28:41,261 --> 00:28:45,265
Your foot stepped on his head, right?

277
00:28:45,390 --> 00:28:49,186
Just my legs appeared at the door
while I was giving him dumplings.

278
00:28:49,311 --> 00:28:52,105
Push hard.
Step down with your foot.

279
00:28:52,898 --> 00:28:55,150
Just push my head.

280
00:28:55,275 --> 00:28:58,820
Not just the face.
Tap with your foot.

281
00:28:58,946 --> 00:29:04,243
Tap my head
like you would a soccer ball.

282
00:29:06,370 --> 00:29:07,996
I don't think it'll work.

283
00:29:08,121 --> 00:29:12,793
I can't guarantee your safety
once I'm out of here!

284
00:29:13,919 --> 00:29:15,128
I'm sorry!
I won't swear at you again!

285
00:29:15,254 --> 00:29:19,007
Just tell me how much longer.
One month? Two?

286
00:29:19,132 --> 00:29:20,467
Or three?

287
00:29:21,260 --> 00:29:23,220
Don't go. I'm sorry!

288
00:29:23,345 --> 00:29:31,353
Choi boxes... with a picture of a guy.

289
00:29:31,478 --> 00:29:34,189
He was supposed to hit the set,

290
00:29:34,314 --> 00:29:38,944
but the whole set echoed
as the wall shook.

291
00:29:40,153 --> 00:29:42,030
Who had imprisoned me?

292
00:29:42,155 --> 00:29:44,241
I remember that...

293
00:29:44,366 --> 00:29:48,620
When looking at the storyboard,
you could see that it would shake.

294
00:29:48,745 --> 00:29:52,332
Isaid that to the art team
and the set builders several times.

295
00:29:52,791 --> 00:29:58,297
I told them to put bricks or rock
behind the part he hits.

296
00:29:58,422 --> 00:30:00,465
I said it many times,
but it didn't work out.

297
00:30:00,590 --> 00:30:05,595
So we put wallpaper on a wall
and I punched it.

298
00:30:09,474 --> 00:30:16,273
We couldn't afford to have Choi hurt
his fists, but me getting hurt was okay.

299
00:30:16,398 --> 00:30:19,526
The close-ups were done against a wall,

300
00:30:19,651 --> 00:30:23,238
and we put something behind it
for the full shots.

301
00:30:23,363 --> 00:30:25,490
But the director shot that scene
for a long time.

302
00:30:27,409 --> 00:30:28,452
Cut!

303
00:30:31,538 --> 00:30:38,462
Only short takes were going to be used,
but the director filmed for a long time.

304
00:30:38,587 --> 00:30:41,340
I was worried about Jang-hyuk's hands.

305
00:30:41,465 --> 00:30:43,800
I thought maybe he was mad at me
or something.

306
00:30:44,843 --> 00:30:46,553
Picture yourself...

307
00:30:47,429 --> 00:30:49,473
...lying in a field.

308
00:30:52,309 --> 00:30:56,730
You'll see an endless field
of green grass.

309
00:30:59,399 --> 00:31:01,568
The sun is shining brightly.

310
00:31:02,486 --> 00:31:07,699
Korea has a director's team,
which is unlike other countries' systems.

311
00:31:07,824 --> 00:31:13,330
This team works as one
with the director.

312
00:31:13,455 --> 00:31:17,709
A lot of ideas from the director's team
were put into Oldboy.

313
00:31:17,834 --> 00:31:25,509
I think we shot here before we went
to shoot Woo-jin's house.

314
00:31:29,096 --> 00:31:35,894
Would Choi really fit
in the suitcase or not?

315
00:31:36,019 --> 00:31:38,897
- I tried going in the box.
- Me, too.

316
00:31:39,022 --> 00:31:47,197
Several people went in and tested
if it could be opened by pushing it.

317
00:31:47,322 --> 00:31:52,202
Then I think Choi went in
and got it in one take.

318
00:31:53,286 --> 00:31:58,208
The problem was opening it, so I asked
for something to open it from the inside.

319
00:31:58,959 --> 00:32:02,295
I asked a couple times,
but it didn't happen.

320
00:32:03,213 --> 00:32:07,551
So it closed quite loosely.

321
00:32:07,676 --> 00:32:16,268
When we came to shoot the scene in a place
we'd scouted, construction was going on.

322
00:32:16,393 --> 00:32:22,566
So I remember we just moved
over to another place.

323
00:32:41,209 --> 00:32:46,256
Even now, I think the director
was very open-minded.

324
00:32:47,090 --> 00:32:53,763
He asked opinions of all the crew,
down to the youngest member.

325
00:32:53,889 --> 00:33:01,188
As the lead actor, I found
the ideal type of film director in him.

326
00:33:02,230 --> 00:33:04,191
He's very clever.

327
00:33:09,321 --> 00:33:12,282
- It's an honour.
- I'm a huge fan.

328
00:33:12,949 --> 00:33:14,784
Can you take a picture of us?

329
00:33:16,453 --> 00:33:18,038
One by one.

330
00:33:20,415 --> 00:33:21,625
One, two.

331
00:33:24,461 --> 00:33:25,879
Next.

332
00:33:27,380 --> 00:33:29,132
We were playing football.

333
00:33:29,257 --> 00:33:30,509
- Oldboy?
-Yes.

334
00:33:30,634 --> 00:33:32,511
- Oldboy was shot here?
-Yes.

335
00:33:32,636 --> 00:33:34,471
I never knew that.

336
00:33:34,596 --> 00:33:40,310
- The "Dickshit" scene was shot here, right?
- That was here?

337
00:33:40,435 --> 00:33:42,437
"Dickshit. A new word."

338
00:33:44,981 --> 00:33:46,233
That's it.

339
00:33:47,651 --> 00:33:50,111
I'm looking forward to your next film.

340
00:33:50,237 --> 00:33:51,988
- The Handmaiden.
- The Handmaiden.

341
00:33:52,447 --> 00:33:55,909
On the news it said it's X-rated.

342
00:33:56,034 --> 00:33:58,203
I think you're awesome.

343
00:33:58,328 --> 00:34:01,122
That was exaggerated.

344
00:34:01,248 --> 00:34:12,467
We said that just to be clear with the cast,
but it got blown out of proportion.

345
00:34:12,592 --> 00:34:14,010
Thank you.

346
00:34:14,135 --> 00:34:15,554
Thank you.

347
00:34:16,471 --> 00:34:19,224
Can I shake your hand again?

348
00:34:20,976 --> 00:34:22,978
Please go and see The Handmaiden.

349
00:34:23,103 --> 00:34:26,022
I will. I'm a big fan.

350
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:31,027
Then all hell started.

351
00:34:32,362 --> 00:34:36,324
The first budget I raised
was 3.3 billion won.

352
00:34:37,284 --> 00:34:48,628
Everyone had to make sacrifices
to stay within that budget.

353
00:34:49,963 --> 00:34:54,384
If anything went wrong,
it would cost money.

354
00:34:54,509 --> 00:34:56,344
The weather didn't help.

355
00:34:59,097 --> 00:35:04,227
Shooting what was on the schedule
each day was really hard.

356
00:35:05,020 --> 00:35:15,739
The schedule was made to fit the budget,
but 48 days increased to 72.

357
00:35:17,282 --> 00:35:24,581
I thought a producer's main job was
scheduling and staying within the budget.

358
00:35:25,165 --> 00:35:27,375
In that sense, I failed.

359
00:35:28,293 --> 00:35:31,671
Oldboy was behind schedule
and over budget.

360
00:35:31,796 --> 00:35:35,091
I played the bad guy a lot.

361
00:35:36,259 --> 00:35:43,266
I would yell and swear and demand
why everyone wasn't moving faster.

362
00:35:43,767 --> 00:35:49,481
Yoo Ji-tae later asked
why I swore so much.

363
00:35:49,606 --> 00:35:54,319
I was kidding but he's a serious guy.
I was a bit scared of him.

364
00:35:54,444 --> 00:35:57,280
He's a big guy, so I apologised.

365
00:35:58,281 --> 00:36:01,117
CONCLUSION:
REDUCE LIGHTING SET-UP TIME.

366
00:36:01,242 --> 00:36:05,330
COORDINATE EACH SCENE EFFICIENTLY
FOR OPTIMAL RESULTS.

367
00:36:05,455 --> 00:36:09,959
I don't know if I should say this.
Director Park was known for many things.

368
00:36:10,085 --> 00:36:15,382
At one time, he was known
for falling behind schedule and such.

369
00:36:15,507 --> 00:36:19,135
Naturally, I expected huge problems.

370
00:36:19,260 --> 00:36:26,601
When we were drafting the schedule,
I knew he wouldn't shoot that much.

371
00:36:26,726 --> 00:36:32,982
He would shoot one or two shots
at most per day.

372
00:36:33,108 --> 00:36:35,443
A good day would be three or four.

373
00:36:35,568 --> 00:36:38,363
Looking back now, it wasn't that hard.

374
00:36:38,488 --> 00:36:47,038
It wasn't the work that was hard,
it was the all-nighters.

375
00:36:47,163 --> 00:36:52,502
Fighting against sleep and fatigue.

376
00:36:53,420 --> 00:36:59,843
But the director wasn't rough on the set.
He was gentle and very quiet.

377
00:36:59,968 --> 00:37:03,096
He never raised his voice.

378
00:37:03,722 --> 00:37:08,893
What made us most nervous was
when he would let out a sigh...

379
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:16,067
That meant we were in big trouble.
But he never yelled at us.

380
00:37:16,192 --> 00:37:20,822
He doesn't yell at you directly.

381
00:37:22,657 --> 00:37:25,243
- Did he ever raise his voice?
- He never yelled.

382
00:37:25,368 --> 00:37:31,249
But when he looked at the monitor
and then looked at me...

383
00:37:32,792 --> 00:37:35,003
...you don't know what that's like.

384
00:37:35,128 --> 00:37:37,213
I've had that look several times.

385
00:37:39,549 --> 00:37:42,802
I got that look a lot.

386
00:37:45,430 --> 00:37:46,514
Cut!

387
00:37:57,317 --> 00:37:58,985
Who the hell are you?

388
00:38:03,782 --> 00:38:05,450
Do it fast.

389
00:38:05,575 --> 00:38:07,160
You're salting it?

390
00:38:08,745 --> 00:38:10,413
-Go.
- Quiet!

391
00:38:22,091 --> 00:38:24,010
Look, Director...

392
00:38:35,021 --> 00:38:36,105
Oh!

393
00:38:49,035 --> 00:38:50,745
That fucker...

394
00:39:09,806 --> 00:39:13,726
Please stay to one side
so cars can go by!

395
00:39:31,828 --> 00:39:35,790
Or maybe it's better
to kick my shoulder.

396
00:39:40,962 --> 00:39:42,380
Dickshit.

397
00:39:43,715 --> 00:39:45,550
A new word.

398
00:39:47,218 --> 00:39:49,721
Television doesn't teach you
swear words.

399
00:39:57,937 --> 00:40:03,192
Can ten years' worth
of imaginary training be put to use?

400
00:40:07,196 --> 00:40:10,742
I thought the crane would go here.

401
00:40:12,994 --> 00:40:16,789
Oh Dae-su crosses the road there.

402
00:40:19,834 --> 00:40:23,588
The camera comes down
to the thugs here.

403
00:40:24,213 --> 00:40:32,805
At normal walking speed, the scene
takes too long, so I told him to run down.

404
00:40:33,598 --> 00:40:38,061
We rehearsed it 16 times,
so it was tiring.

405
00:40:38,811 --> 00:40:42,690
I guess he was pissed off with me.

406
00:40:43,900 --> 00:40:47,028
It was total chaos.
Complete chaos.

407
00:40:47,654 --> 00:40:50,239
Our crew hadn't eaten at all,

408
00:40:50,365 --> 00:40:56,037
the lighting crew were about to pass out
after rigging all the lights.

409
00:40:56,162 --> 00:41:06,214
This was the hardest part
of the whole process.

410
00:41:06,339 --> 00:41:11,469
So many spectators filled up that space.

411
00:41:12,595 --> 00:41:14,138
This side, too.

412
00:41:14,263 --> 00:41:23,439
The production staff apologised to them all
and would shout at them, too,

413
00:41:23,564 --> 00:41:27,860
so they wouldn't appear in the frame.

414
00:41:32,907 --> 00:41:35,410
Citizens of Busan.
Thank you very much.

415
00:41:36,077 --> 00:41:39,956
If you stay there,
we can't shoot any more.

416
00:41:40,081 --> 00:41:45,044
Busan people don't use titles.
They called Choi Min-sik by name.

417
00:41:45,169 --> 00:41:50,299
He had such a hard time,
sweating a lot.

418
00:41:50,425 --> 00:41:54,762
And then kids were calling him
by his first name, so I took action.

419
00:41:54,887 --> 00:42:01,144
I jumped up and said, "You think Choi Min-sik
is your buddy?" and hit him with my cap.

420
00:42:01,269 --> 00:42:05,648
This kid was saying, "What's it to you?"
I said, "You stay until the shoot is over."

421
00:42:05,773 --> 00:42:08,359
On his way to the restroom,

422
00:42:08,484 --> 00:42:11,821
Director Park asked if I got into a fight,
and then kept shooting.

423
00:42:11,946 --> 00:42:13,448
He's invincible.

424
00:42:14,282 --> 00:42:17,493
That's how he was able
to shoot that scene.

425
00:42:17,618 --> 00:42:26,044
I was overly ambitious,
so I asked for too much.

426
00:42:26,794 --> 00:42:30,006
The buses passed
by Pukyong University,

427
00:42:30,131 --> 00:42:34,969
so I asked the crew to change them all
so you couldn't tell we were in Busan.

428
00:42:36,679 --> 00:42:42,977
If it were now, I would check
whether it'd be noticeable in the movie.

429
00:42:43,102 --> 00:42:50,777
If it's a problem, then we fix it with
computer graphics or something easier.

430
00:42:50,902 --> 00:42:57,492
They were shocked because I told them
to stop all the buses going by.

431
00:42:59,077 --> 00:43:01,079
All the stores have changed.

432
00:43:02,246 --> 00:43:04,832
Nothing's the same.

433
00:43:06,042 --> 00:43:08,711
Everything changes so fast here.

434
00:43:10,171 --> 00:43:12,006
I realise that again.

435
00:43:13,925 --> 00:43:15,009
Cut.

436
00:43:17,637 --> 00:43:19,013
- Okay?
- Sure.

437
00:43:19,138 --> 00:43:20,598
Did it hurt?

438
00:43:21,057 --> 00:43:22,475
Untie him quick.

439
00:43:26,979 --> 00:43:31,067
Oldboy was the first time
that I had lines.

440
00:43:31,776 --> 00:43:35,154
I didn't know when I read the script.

441
00:43:35,279 --> 00:43:43,454
I went straight from theatre-acting
to the movies, so I didn't know anything.

442
00:43:43,579 --> 00:43:48,668
The first time
I went to see Director Park,

443
00:43:48,793 --> 00:43:52,004
he had his legs up on the table like this.

444
00:43:52,130 --> 00:43:56,968
His feet were up
and hetookouta laptop.

445
00:43:59,011 --> 00:44:03,391
I thought that was the way he talked.

446
00:44:03,516 --> 00:44:07,770
Then he said,
"That's probably how you should look."

447
00:44:07,895 --> 00:44:14,652
When I saw the movie, I was amazed
that I looked like that in it.

448
00:44:15,987 --> 00:44:21,951
Wow. The mechanism is
completely different.

449
00:44:23,327 --> 00:44:29,709
He told me to act... ambiguous.

450
00:44:30,793 --> 00:44:32,795
That was easy for me.

451
00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:38,718
That means it's neither here or there.

452
00:44:38,843 --> 00:44:44,390
I think that's what made me
think about this and that.

453
00:44:44,974 --> 00:44:47,059
How can I make it ambiguous?

454
00:44:49,103 --> 00:44:56,861
It was a sponge
made to look like steel.

455
00:44:56,986 --> 00:45:00,364
It wasn't harmful to the actor at all.

456
00:45:00,823 --> 00:45:03,409
So how do I make it look realistic?

457
00:45:04,785 --> 00:45:08,289
I found myself thinking
about details like that.

458
00:45:09,540 --> 00:45:11,709
Do you want to talk?

459
00:45:15,588 --> 00:45:16,631
Cut.

460
00:45:20,384 --> 00:45:23,554
My teeth are pulled out,
and I get gold teeth.

461
00:45:24,472 --> 00:45:31,395
I went to a dentist to get it done
with a director's team member.

462
00:45:31,896 --> 00:45:39,070
He was so eager, he suggested
grinding up six teeth and sticking gold on.

463
00:45:39,195 --> 00:45:43,574
So he called the director to confirm it.

464
00:45:44,951 --> 00:45:48,579
The director was so mad at him.

465
00:45:50,164 --> 00:45:56,921
I leave without killing Oh Dae-su and say,
"That'll take care of your cold."

466
00:45:58,547 --> 00:46:04,595
He told me to say something
that had nothing to do with the scene.

467
00:46:05,304 --> 00:46:07,139
So I just said it.

468
00:46:10,810 --> 00:46:13,104
That'II take care of your cold.

469
00:46:15,439 --> 00:46:21,654
It was strange.
Everyone was gung-ho.

470
00:46:21,779 --> 00:46:26,200
They were at the top of their game.

471
00:46:27,868 --> 00:46:31,455
There was energy flowing everywhere.

472
00:46:32,331 --> 00:46:41,257
The corridor fight scene
made me realise what a film set was.

473
00:46:42,258 --> 00:46:51,851
You throw away the knife, not wanting blood,
but what'll people think if it appears again?

474
00:46:51,976 --> 00:46:58,232
Guys with hands raised go outside,
then split like Moses and the Red Sea.

475
00:46:59,150 --> 00:47:05,489
When he was doing Oldboy,
I was working on Arahan.

476
00:47:06,324 --> 00:47:10,745
He said, "Action scenes are such a bother.

477
00:47:10,870 --> 00:47:16,000
"Do you know anyone good?"

478
00:47:16,751 --> 00:47:22,840
Yang Kil-yong was with the Seoul Action
School then, but now he's independent.

479
00:47:23,841 --> 00:47:25,760
I recommended him.

480
00:47:26,552 --> 00:47:34,185
It was the first film I did
as a martial arts director.

481
00:47:34,310 --> 00:47:37,396
So I didn't give it much thought.

482
00:47:37,521 --> 00:47:45,905
I saw the storyboard for Oh Dae-su's
revenge scene in the prison.

483
00:47:46,030 --> 00:47:50,659
I was blown away.
The shots were intense.

484
00:47:51,786 --> 00:47:57,541
Someone could get seriously hurt.

485
00:47:58,125 --> 00:48:03,130
I was taught that actions
carry emotions.

486
00:48:04,131 --> 00:48:07,426
So I tried to keep that going.

487
00:48:07,551 --> 00:48:11,347
I think there were 60 to 70 moves.

488
00:48:14,308 --> 00:48:16,143
My arms will hurt the most.

489
00:48:16,268 --> 00:48:20,773
I didn't mean to make it this complicated.
But Yang... Where is he?

490
00:48:20,898 --> 00:48:24,735
Where'd he go? What's going on?

491
00:48:24,860 --> 00:48:27,238
Director Park called me and said,

492
00:48:28,364 --> 00:48:30,324
"Why don't we do this in one take?"

493
00:48:31,117 --> 00:48:33,077
"What? How?"

494
00:48:34,578 --> 00:48:40,793
The guy has to fight a lonely, wearisome
battle against a formidable foe.

495
00:48:40,918 --> 00:48:43,754
The director said he was mistaken.

496
00:48:45,464 --> 00:48:48,134
He should've said so much earlier!

497
00:48:48,259 --> 00:48:51,137
After the knife goes in...
to the end?

498
00:48:52,096 --> 00:48:54,432
But I can't remember for sure.

499
00:48:55,599 --> 00:49:01,272
If you can do that,
then we won't use any other details.

500
00:49:01,939 --> 00:49:06,861
- Make it unique.
- So take it to the end in one shot.

501
00:49:06,986 --> 00:49:12,408
Director Yang,
can we cut the part at the end?

502
00:49:12,533 --> 00:49:15,828
- Yes, cut it.
- Then it's easier to remember.

503
00:49:15,953 --> 00:49:25,671
Then I have to change every punch and kick
that doesn't appear to make contact.

504
00:49:25,796 --> 00:49:29,884
I thought if we went with a long take,

505
00:49:32,219 --> 00:49:36,015
it'd be hard to put emotion into it.

506
00:49:36,140 --> 00:49:39,310
So we changed
the choreography on site.

507
00:49:39,435 --> 00:49:46,567
I could sense the sheer duration of it.

508
00:49:54,158 --> 00:49:55,618
Are you okay?

509
00:49:56,160 --> 00:49:59,663
But Director Park wouldn't okay it.

510
00:50:01,624 --> 00:50:05,461
Why?
He said something was missing.

511
00:50:06,420 --> 00:50:07,671
Yeah?

512
00:50:07,796 --> 00:50:11,634
After doing over ten takes,
I started getting nauseous.

513
00:50:15,262 --> 00:50:17,640
How many more times
could we film this?

514
00:50:21,435 --> 00:50:27,191
You probably don't know this, but action
scenes are way harder than working out.

515
00:50:27,316 --> 00:50:32,363
And he had to act, too.
He was so tired, he could barely stand.

516
00:50:33,614 --> 00:50:39,328
He was about to drop dead.

517
00:50:39,453 --> 00:50:41,789
After saying "Cut", he was like...

518
00:50:51,549 --> 00:50:56,262
That crafty director waited
until I actually got tired.

519
00:50:56,804 --> 00:51:01,517
Sowe did 16 or 17 takes.

520
00:51:01,642 --> 00:51:06,230
The sequences in Korean action films
have very fast editing.

521
00:51:06,355 --> 00:51:12,570
I was worried how the general audience
would receive it.

522
00:51:12,695 --> 00:51:14,989
We talked about it over beers.

523
00:51:20,869 --> 00:51:21,912
Good.

524
00:51:22,037 --> 00:51:23,455
Great job!

525
00:51:29,461 --> 00:51:30,963
Good work, everybody!

526
00:51:31,088 --> 00:51:32,464
Good job.

527
00:51:33,841 --> 00:51:35,259
Great job, sir.

528
00:51:38,762 --> 00:51:40,264
Get some rest.

529
00:51:57,573 --> 00:52:02,077
There are magical moments like that
when you're shooting a film.

530
00:52:02,202 --> 00:52:05,080
Something that clicked,
although you didn't intend it.

531
00:52:07,541 --> 00:52:10,294
I think that scene happened like that.

532
00:52:24,433 --> 00:52:30,606
My older brother was a real bookworm
so he read a lot.

533
00:52:30,731 --> 00:52:37,780
I didn't read novels much,
but he read a lot.

534
00:52:39,907 --> 00:52:46,246
I think that's what laid the groundwork
for his filmmaking.

535
00:52:50,042 --> 00:52:57,841
While they set up the lights here
for the night-time scene,

536
00:52:57,966 --> 00:53:03,681
I popped into this bookstore by myself.

537
00:53:04,556 --> 00:53:11,188
Kang Hye-jung and Yoon Jin-seo
came to watch,

538
00:53:11,313 --> 00:53:17,945
although they weren't shooting
that day.

539
00:53:18,862 --> 00:53:26,912
I remember I bought two books
and gave them one each.

540
00:53:29,248 --> 00:53:38,257
One was Miss Smiila's Feellng for Snow
or something like that.

541
00:53:38,382 --> 00:53:41,593
I think it was Miss Smila's
Feellng for Snow,

542
00:53:41,719 --> 00:53:46,849
but I can't remember who I gave it to.

543
00:53:47,891 --> 00:53:52,604
I held onto Miss Smilla...
while I was single.

544
00:53:54,022 --> 00:54:00,988
Then it got stored in a box
because I moved around a lot.

545
00:54:01,613 --> 00:54:05,492
I don't know if the director
still remembers this.

546
00:54:06,243 --> 00:54:10,664
He lent me a book once,
but I ended up keeping it.

547
00:54:11,707 --> 00:54:15,836
I think it was called Enduring Love.

548
00:54:15,961 --> 00:54:19,590
The cover was blue. I nicked it.

549
00:54:21,300 --> 00:54:22,885
Sorry, Director.

550
00:54:24,887 --> 00:54:26,138
Thank you.

551
00:54:26,263 --> 00:54:29,683
- Are you going to shoot here?
- I did before.

552
00:54:32,519 --> 00:54:37,941
This is the kind of scene

553
00:54:38,066 --> 00:54:44,865
that I said
I was overly ambitious about.

554
00:54:45,532 --> 00:54:57,377
When we're on a street with crowds,
it's common sense to wrap up quick.

555
00:54:57,503 --> 00:55:00,172
At the time...

556
00:55:01,215 --> 00:55:09,556
I thought sorting out the environment
was the production crew's job.

557
00:55:09,681 --> 00:55:12,768
All I thought of was getting my job done.

558
00:55:12,893 --> 00:55:17,898
So I would say, "Once more!"
if I didn't like even the slightest thing.

559
00:55:18,023 --> 00:55:23,570
I don't think
I would do it that way now.

560
00:55:43,757 --> 00:55:45,551
I was ignorant

561
00:55:45,676 --> 00:55:50,973
about analysing the character,
distributing my energy,

562
00:55:51,098 --> 00:55:59,189
or what role the character plays
in the drama.

563
00:55:59,314 --> 00:56:04,319
I knew nothing about any of that.

564
00:56:04,945 --> 00:56:09,825
I still remember the director saying,
"Feel the space."

565
00:56:10,534 --> 00:56:14,454
So I suppose very lonely people
keep thinking of ants.

566
00:56:15,914 --> 00:56:18,458
Although I have never done that.

567
00:56:18,584 --> 00:56:23,839
Filming was done on a subway train,
so it was a bit tense.

568
00:56:23,964 --> 00:56:26,508
I had to get the "okay" no matter what.

569
00:56:26,633 --> 00:56:35,767
During the filming, I kept feeling anxious,
nervous and overwhelmed.

570
00:56:35,893 --> 00:56:45,527
Whenever I have to depict
extreme emotions or express a lot,

571
00:56:47,446 --> 00:56:54,828
there are moments when I feel
someone's helping me just by watching.

572
00:56:54,953 --> 00:57:00,500
When acting, there are things that
only the actors themselves can solve.

573
00:57:00,626 --> 00:57:03,545
So being an actor is a lonely job.

574
00:57:04,546 --> 00:57:09,676
It's a job that bothers me
all the time. It's a lonely battle.

575
00:57:10,177 --> 00:57:13,931
But there are moments when you hear
something like the voice of God.

576
00:57:14,056 --> 00:57:17,059
Nothing is said,
but even a look helps.

577
00:57:17,517 --> 00:57:25,192
Choi helped me this way,
like a punch in my chest.

578
00:57:26,109 --> 00:57:34,201
He's an actor who makes you think,
"Wow, I just heard the voice of God."

579
00:57:35,077 --> 00:57:40,666
Let me speak. Jung, give us some time.
She's losing focus.

580
00:57:40,791 --> 00:57:43,043
- Sorry, sir.
- Three minutes.

581
00:57:43,794 --> 00:57:48,924
When Oh Dae-su leaves Mi-do
and goes to fight Woo-jin,

582
00:57:49,049 --> 00:57:54,012
he hugs me and says, "Dear Lord."

583
00:57:55,555 --> 00:57:58,558
I just fell apart at that.
I thought God was really coming.

584
00:58:06,191 --> 00:58:08,485
What would you like me to pray for?

585
00:58:11,071 --> 00:58:12,614
"Dear Lord...

586
00:58:14,574 --> 00:58:19,955
"Please let me meet
a younger man next time."

587
00:58:24,126 --> 00:58:29,715
When I'm shooting with younger actors,
they're something I'm responsible for.

588
00:58:30,382 --> 00:58:35,554
My impression was that
she was very honest.

589
00:58:35,679 --> 00:58:42,144
Her approach to the work wasn't
sophisticated, but she was direct.

590
00:58:42,269 --> 00:58:45,397
If she didn't know, she said so.
And she had a lot of questions.

591
00:58:53,321 --> 00:58:54,990
"Evergreen.

592
00:58:56,658 --> 00:58:58,702
"Who are you?"

593
00:59:02,372 --> 00:59:04,499
Is that what you wanted to ask?

594
00:59:05,834 --> 00:59:08,628
No. You must find that out
for yourself.

595
00:59:08,754 --> 00:59:10,797
Come on, it's a game.

596
00:59:10,922 --> 00:59:13,759
It was that scene.

597
00:59:13,884 --> 00:59:18,430
Woo-jin's speech had to have

598
00:59:18,555 --> 00:59:22,893
the exact intonation
and pronunciation that I requested.

599
00:59:23,018 --> 00:59:26,897
But Ji-tae wasn't used to that.

600
00:59:27,022 --> 00:59:30,859
So every word was hard.

601
00:59:31,693 --> 00:59:38,408
I tried hard to put emotion into it,
but I've never been that wealthy

602
00:59:38,533 --> 00:59:44,498
or lost an older sister due to incest,
I had no vicarious experience.

603
00:59:44,623 --> 00:59:48,168
So it was a tough character to play.

604
00:59:48,293 --> 00:59:51,922
Yoo Ji-tae is a serious guy.

605
00:59:52,047 --> 00:59:57,260
He had a lot of lines and
they had to be delivered dynamically.

606
00:59:57,385 --> 01:00:01,765
So it was really tough.
He had to really think it over.

607
01:00:01,890 --> 01:00:05,894
There's no other away.
You just have to make him comfortable.

608
01:00:06,019 --> 01:00:09,773
If he made a mistake
and the other actors said...

609
01:00:14,277 --> 01:00:20,784
"Let's break for a smoke,"
then that's more discouraging.

610
01:00:20,909 --> 01:00:24,037
I realised at some point

611
01:00:24,162 --> 01:00:30,127
that my idea of Woo-jin's
speech and actions

612
01:00:30,252 --> 01:00:34,631
was way too detailed.

613
01:00:34,756 --> 01:00:39,010
It would've been hard for anyone.

614
01:00:39,136 --> 01:00:43,181
The director likes well-structured acting

615
01:00:43,306 --> 01:00:48,687
and he has a strong sense
of what he wants,

616
01:00:48,812 --> 01:00:54,860
so we talked a lot about how
and when to stress which lines,

617
01:00:54,985 --> 01:01:04,536
and how it would look in the frame.

618
01:01:05,078 --> 01:01:07,080
Then I acted it out.

619
01:01:07,205 --> 01:01:08,999
At some point,

620
01:01:09,124 --> 01:01:13,670
I focused on things like facial expressions
and we were able to finish it.

621
01:01:13,795 --> 01:01:17,883
Then we added all the sound later.

622
01:01:18,008 --> 01:01:22,762
That's the most rewarding scene
in the movie.

623
01:01:23,680 --> 01:01:25,098
Great job!

624
01:01:27,475 --> 01:01:31,313
Acting's not done alone.

625
01:01:31,438 --> 01:01:37,402
It's a partnership
between the director and the actor.

626
01:01:38,236 --> 01:01:45,035
A magic moment when sparks fly
produces a complete performance.

627
01:01:45,994 --> 01:01:48,121
Do you really think...

628
01:01:49,372 --> 01:01:55,045
...that Mi-do has fallen in love
with Oh Dae-su?

629
01:02:07,891 --> 01:02:11,144
If I dwelled on everything,
howcouldlfilm it?

630
01:02:11,269 --> 01:02:16,733
In order to create inexplicable emotions,

631
01:02:17,817 --> 01:02:21,863
I had to be in love with him.

632
01:02:21,988 --> 01:02:30,121
It was comfortable acting
with Mr Choi.

633
01:02:31,581 --> 01:02:35,085
We would chew on squid
between takes.

634
01:02:53,186 --> 01:02:56,398
The school was huge.

635
01:02:56,523 --> 01:02:58,566
It was like a maze.

636
01:02:58,692 --> 01:03:02,821
Woo-jin's mentality would be similar
to the school.

637
01:03:02,946 --> 01:03:10,287
It's huge but seems empty,
with grey dust flying around.

638
01:03:11,621 --> 01:03:14,124
It was just really big.

639
01:03:25,677 --> 01:03:31,725
Some young guys were filming
the school on an 8mm video camera.

640
01:03:31,850 --> 01:03:38,106
I wondered what they were doing.
Then more of them came.

641
01:03:38,231 --> 01:03:43,236
There were a lot of crew members,
all young.

642
01:03:43,820 --> 01:03:49,367
They smoked a lot
and drank canned coffee.

643
01:03:49,492 --> 01:03:54,080
They drank it endlessly.

644
01:03:54,205 --> 01:03:58,960
Shooting a movie required so much
equipment. A lot more than we expected.

645
01:03:59,836 --> 01:04:02,339
Can I just look at the records?

646
01:04:07,594 --> 01:04:09,846
It's dark. Put the lights on.

647
01:04:17,270 --> 01:04:22,067
Oh Dae-su asks, "Who are you?"
over the phone.

648
01:04:22,192 --> 01:04:27,113
Every name was from the director's crew
and she wanted her name in it, too.

649
01:04:27,238 --> 01:04:30,200
So you can hear her name.
Kuk Su-ran.

650
01:04:30,325 --> 01:04:34,162
I asked Director Park to put in
my name without telling him.

651
01:04:34,871 --> 01:04:37,499
She's an opportunist!

652
01:04:38,166 --> 01:04:42,420
We used the names of the crew
in the yearbook.

653
01:04:42,545 --> 01:04:44,756
So my name went in, too

654
01:04:45,465 --> 01:04:47,550
I never asked for it.

655
01:04:48,301 --> 01:04:54,766
We were called the track outfit duo.
He would take me along for workouts.

656
01:04:55,934 --> 01:04:59,229
People said if we started a company,

657
01:04:59,354 --> 01:05:05,151
it should be called
"Rough Guys Entertainment".

658
01:05:05,985 --> 01:05:08,738
That's how much fun it was
for us two.

659
01:05:15,995 --> 01:05:22,419
We didn't know anything about directors,
but he was like a king to them.

660
01:05:23,128 --> 01:05:27,382
He would sit
and stare into a small hole.

661
01:05:27,507 --> 01:05:32,971
One actress rode a bicycle
around the playground all day.

662
01:05:33,096 --> 01:05:38,351
I didn't know what was so difficult.
I remember lots of things now.

663
01:06:05,044 --> 01:06:13,511
I was only twenty, so I was worried
whether I could do it.

664
01:06:14,053 --> 01:06:17,765
I had to undress.

665
01:06:17,891 --> 01:06:22,604
I was in only a few scenes,
so I doubted people would remember me.

666
01:06:22,729 --> 01:06:25,482
At first, I turned it down.

667
01:06:26,524 --> 01:06:32,280
I was walking out from my part-time job
when someone honked at me.

668
01:06:33,490 --> 01:06:36,409
I opened the door
and it was Director Park.

669
01:06:36,534 --> 01:06:41,372
He asked why I was there
and not filming.

670
01:06:42,582 --> 01:06:44,959
I remember him saying that.

671
01:06:45,960 --> 01:06:49,881
That encounter felt like fate.

672
01:06:50,006 --> 01:06:54,093
I'm Oh Tae-kyung
and I play the young Dae-su.

673
01:07:01,017 --> 01:07:02,101
Cut!

674
01:07:03,561 --> 01:07:05,688
Why are you going out here?

675
01:07:05,813 --> 01:07:09,692
When I read the script, I was curious.

676
01:07:10,610 --> 01:07:16,032
The way Oh Dae-su speaks is strange.

677
01:07:16,157 --> 01:07:20,036
It's not the normal way we talk.

678
01:07:21,037 --> 01:07:25,458
The director emphasised the parallel bars.
He wanted me to look cool.

679
01:07:25,583 --> 01:07:32,257
I practised my accent for a month,
and the parallel bars for a month, too.

680
01:07:33,049 --> 01:07:36,302
But it was harder than I'd expected.

681
01:07:41,599 --> 01:07:47,105
I fell off them once.
I was hanging upside down.

682
01:07:48,147 --> 01:07:49,607
I was hanging for a long time,
so it was tiring.

683
01:07:49,732 --> 01:07:53,653
There was a mattress
so I didn't get hurt.

684
01:07:55,071 --> 01:07:57,448
But all the blood rushed to my head.

685
01:07:58,283 --> 01:08:00,577
I'm remembering it all now.

686
01:08:01,452 --> 01:08:05,623
I play the young Woo-jin,

687
01:08:05,748 --> 01:08:10,295
but I'll do my best to be remembered
as Ahn Yeon-seok, the actor.

688
01:08:10,420 --> 01:08:15,133
It was a strong film to be debuting in.

689
01:08:15,258 --> 01:08:20,430
I don't think I knew anything back then.

690
01:08:21,097 --> 01:08:28,980
Everything was just awesome
and I was passionate about everything.

691
01:08:29,105 --> 01:08:31,274
Everything was new to me.

692
01:08:32,233 --> 01:08:34,068
- Set!
- Action!

693
01:08:34,193 --> 01:08:42,118
The first scene I did was on the bridge,
so I was running all day.

694
01:08:42,702 --> 01:08:48,541
While I was shooting it,
the students didn't know who I was,

695
01:08:48,666 --> 01:08:54,005
but they said I was handsome
and looked cool.

696
01:08:54,130 --> 01:08:57,634
That was awesome.

697
01:08:58,217 --> 01:09:03,931
The students wouldn't listen
and Su-ran threw her loudspeaker once.

698
01:09:04,057 --> 01:09:09,228
But the scenes we shot
looked really cool.

699
01:09:09,354 --> 01:09:14,400
We had no money,
so Jung rented a Steadicam himself

700
01:09:14,525 --> 01:09:17,695
and carried it himself.

701
01:09:17,820 --> 01:09:21,324
Oldboy was physically tiring for me.

702
01:09:21,908 --> 01:09:25,828
You usually mount a light camera
for Stead icam, but we used a heavy one.

703
01:09:26,287 --> 01:09:33,002
So I just had to persevere.
I got haemorrhoids the next day.

704
01:10:11,249 --> 01:10:12,542
Come on.

705
01:10:12,667 --> 01:10:13,835
Okay, okay.

706
01:10:22,885 --> 01:10:24,846
Satisfied?

707
01:10:24,971 --> 01:10:27,223
- Liftthisup.
- No way.

708
01:10:27,807 --> 01:10:33,646
I think we shot the science lab scene
right after we met.

709
01:10:35,773 --> 01:10:39,610
So I was more nervous

710
01:10:39,736 --> 01:10:44,407
about how we could do
those scenes so soon.

711
01:10:45,742 --> 01:10:47,618
I don't remember it,

712
01:10:47,744 --> 01:10:51,247
but he said I asked him
if he'd ever kissed a girl.

713
01:10:52,582 --> 01:10:57,628
I really don't remember,
but I said I was a year older than him.

714
01:10:57,754 --> 01:11:03,384
And then I asked him right away
if he'd ever kissed a girl properly.

715
01:11:06,846 --> 01:11:10,892
I asked about his girlfriend,

716
01:11:11,017 --> 01:11:15,396
and we prepared for the scene together.

717
01:11:15,521 --> 01:11:19,609
I was quite young...

718
01:11:21,068 --> 01:11:26,073
...so it was almost the first time
I'd been with a girl.

719
01:11:26,199 --> 01:11:30,536
I was really nervous about that
and about being filmed.

720
01:11:30,661 --> 01:11:36,584
So the nervousness that the young
Woo-jin felt came out naturally.

721
01:11:36,709 --> 01:11:44,467
It was a bit awkward. I think
we were both too young to handle it.

722
01:11:44,592 --> 01:11:49,514
I couldn't be totally cool after that.

723
01:11:49,639 --> 01:11:54,477
How should I put it?

724
01:11:58,606 --> 01:12:03,569
I don't know....
It was just awkward.

725
01:12:04,695 --> 01:12:06,656
I wasn't so cool.

726
01:12:18,918 --> 01:12:24,715
I was twenty, so he looked
a lot more experienced in my eyes.

727
01:12:24,841 --> 01:12:31,389
But he wasn't that much older.

728
01:12:36,435 --> 01:12:37,603
Put your bottom up close.

729
01:12:38,688 --> 01:12:40,356
Hold her hand.

730
01:12:48,573 --> 01:12:49,991
Woo-jin.

731
01:12:51,659 --> 01:12:53,578
I know you've always been afraid.

732
01:12:53,703 --> 01:12:59,750
After shooting Oldboy, I thought
all film sets would be like that.

733
01:13:00,585 --> 01:13:03,754
I've said I've never experienced
a film set like that ever again.

734
01:13:03,880 --> 01:13:10,469
Everyone loved this film so much,
they kept talking about it.

735
01:13:10,595 --> 01:13:12,930
"So this is what cinema is,"
I thought.

736
01:13:13,055 --> 01:13:15,766
Everyone looked out for each other,
they really loved the script,

737
01:13:15,892 --> 01:13:18,227
and discussed how to improve it.

738
01:13:18,352 --> 01:13:24,066
Filmmaking was an all-night discussion.
It was amazing.

739
01:13:25,568 --> 01:13:27,904
I could feel their passion.

740
01:13:28,821 --> 01:13:30,656
Thinking back now...

741
01:13:32,617 --> 01:13:40,124
I was on a set that was so great,
and I assumed it was always like that.

742
01:13:40,249 --> 01:13:47,715
The passion and the tone
were unforgettable.

743
01:14:40,059 --> 01:14:48,943
I think I was fearless then. The director
wanted a space that looked surreal.

744
01:14:49,068 --> 01:14:53,656
So I suggested going somewhere that's
in winter, since it was summer for us.

745
01:14:54,657 --> 01:14:57,743
He asked if we really could,
and I said yes.

746
01:14:57,868 --> 01:15:01,664
If our bags that left Singapore
aren't here,

747
01:15:02,790 --> 01:15:06,836
and they're not in Singapore either,
then they disappeared on the way?

748
01:15:07,420 --> 01:15:12,800
Lots of things went wrong.
Our lens box and costumes bag got lost.

749
01:15:12,925 --> 01:15:17,930
We went there
and the daylight was so short.

750
01:15:18,055 --> 01:15:24,520
Oh Dae-su's fur coat was shipped
separately, but it got delayed.

751
01:15:24,645 --> 01:15:27,898
So we couldn't use it for the shoot.

752
01:15:28,024 --> 01:15:34,864
So he wore a raincoat that
we bought last minute in New Zealand.

753
01:15:34,989 --> 01:15:41,454
It arrived later, so Mr Choi took it
because he didn't want to waste it.

754
01:15:41,579 --> 01:15:43,998
We'll be in deep shit
when we get back to Seoul.

755
01:15:44,123 --> 01:15:51,881
What are we going to do about being
behind schedule and the extra expenses?

756
01:16:27,416 --> 01:16:28,834
I love you...

757
01:16:29,919 --> 01:16:31,337
Dae-su.

758
01:16:45,101 --> 01:16:49,563
The scene with Oh Dae-su's footprints...

759
01:16:49,688 --> 01:16:54,443
The jimmy jib moved like this.

760
01:16:54,568 --> 01:16:58,739
The director said he couldn't see
the footprints,

761
01:16:58,864 --> 01:17:02,159
so the director's team threw on dirt.

762
01:17:02,618 --> 01:17:04,995
They did what they could,
but it didn't show.

763
01:17:05,121 --> 01:17:08,624
Because of that one jimmy jib shot,

764
01:17:08,749 --> 01:17:12,962
we only finished two shots
and it was over.

765
01:17:13,087 --> 01:17:17,133
What do you want to do?
If we start doing it now...

766
01:17:19,593 --> 01:17:23,430
If the light's good, can we shoot
until 10 or 20 minutes past?

767
01:17:23,556 --> 01:17:25,099
Yes.

768
01:17:25,224 --> 01:17:27,518
- 4:10 to 4:20?
- 4:00pm.

769
01:17:27,643 --> 01:17:29,812
So we have only 30 to 40 minutes left.

770
01:17:31,105 --> 01:17:37,278
It's not enough, so it's better to stop.
We'll lose the light after one shot.

771
01:17:38,571 --> 01:17:41,115
It won't take long. Let's do it quickly.

772
01:17:41,782 --> 01:17:47,329
Let's just shoot Scene 11-5 today.
Set it up quickly.

773
01:17:48,289 --> 01:17:55,921
I shouldn't have, but I got mad
when I was out in the field.

774
01:17:56,964 --> 01:18:03,888
It felt like everyone was against me.

775
01:18:04,597 --> 01:18:11,687
The assistant director came and
said the director wanted to talk to me.

776
01:18:11,812 --> 01:18:15,149
So we sat by the fireplace...

777
01:18:16,650 --> 01:18:21,614
and we said nothing
for about three minutes.

778
01:18:21,739 --> 01:18:28,078
Director Park said we'll shoot everything
the next day and that was it.

779
01:18:28,204 --> 01:18:36,545
Directors are the most vulnerable
at sunrise and sunset.

780
01:18:38,672 --> 01:18:42,009
The day scene's not finished,
but the sun goes down.

781
01:18:42,134 --> 01:18:46,680
He didn't finish it the next day.
We were a day and a half late.

782
01:18:48,349 --> 01:18:50,226
OK!

783
01:18:51,977 --> 01:18:54,730
- We're done!
- Goodbye, New Zealand!

784
01:18:54,855 --> 01:18:59,401
I was wondering
if I would have to do this

785
01:18:59,526 --> 01:19:05,074
until I was too exhausted to breathe.

786
01:19:06,075 --> 01:19:09,245
That's what I thought.

787
01:19:09,995 --> 01:19:12,289
I forget about things like that.

788
01:19:13,874 --> 01:19:15,960
It was serious then.

789
01:19:32,142 --> 01:19:38,899
The design for the penthouse
started from having no money.

790
01:19:39,024 --> 01:19:46,824
The script said he was
in the top 1% of the richest.

791
01:19:46,949 --> 01:19:52,705
At that time, building a set
that cost 230 million won

792
01:19:52,830 --> 01:19:56,959
meant either the producer has balls,
or he's clueless!

793
01:19:57,418 --> 01:19:59,503
I was the latter.

794
01:19:59,628 --> 01:20:01,171
Minimal!

795
01:20:02,798 --> 01:20:05,342
Minimal and strange.

796
01:20:06,343 --> 01:20:12,141
There was a huge picture of a wave
that didn't come out so much in the movie.

797
01:20:12,725 --> 01:20:19,064
We also didn't have enough money
to fill the wall.

798
01:20:19,189 --> 01:20:21,317
So it was conceptual.

799
01:20:21,984 --> 01:20:26,822
We put together three of the largest
backdrops available in Korea at the time.

800
01:20:26,947 --> 01:20:33,037
We had to bring in former commandos
to put them up because no one else could.

801
01:20:33,162 --> 01:20:41,003
The production company thought
we were overspending.

802
01:20:41,754 --> 01:20:44,673
We fought a lot.

803
01:20:44,798 --> 01:20:50,012
There's nothing to fight about now,
but back then,

804
01:20:50,846 --> 01:21:00,105
I was thinking, how can I create
a rich person's house with so little money?

805
01:21:00,230 --> 01:21:04,234
There were lots of issues.

806
01:21:04,360 --> 01:21:11,158
I wasn't the type to accommodate
everyone's situation,

807
01:21:12,034 --> 01:21:14,244
so they resented me a lot.

808
01:21:14,370 --> 01:21:16,747
I remember one thing
that made me sad.

809
01:21:17,498 --> 01:21:21,001
I showed the director
images of what I was planning.

810
01:21:21,126 --> 01:21:29,510
What he wanted
required a lot of money.

811
01:21:30,052 --> 01:21:33,263
Don't hold it that way.
Do it like this.

812
01:21:39,895 --> 01:21:41,355
These are the scissors we used.

813
01:21:42,481 --> 01:21:45,984
The scissors that Oh Dae-su
cut his tongue with.

814
01:21:46,110 --> 01:21:52,699
They were made of silver
and they were the most expensive prop.

815
01:21:52,825 --> 01:21:57,579
The producers asked
why I showed such good images,

816
01:21:58,080 --> 01:22:00,207
that it was unnecessary.

817
01:22:00,332 --> 01:22:08,715
I didn't think that way. None of the props
there looked expensive.

818
01:22:11,427 --> 01:22:14,638
They said Soo-ah died alone
at the dam.

819
01:22:14,763 --> 01:22:16,598
So who took this photo?

820
01:22:17,850 --> 01:22:22,146
We made the picture frames with wood.

821
01:22:22,271 --> 01:22:28,485
So the scissors made it believable
that we were in a rich man's home.

822
01:22:28,610 --> 01:22:34,032
I thought the smallest thing
shouldn't be common.

823
01:22:34,158 --> 01:22:36,452
But you know...

824
01:22:37,911 --> 01:22:40,289
I understand now.

825
01:22:42,249 --> 01:22:47,045
There was no guarantee
how the movie would turn out,

826
01:22:48,088 --> 01:22:51,592
so they felt pressured.

827
01:22:53,093 --> 01:22:57,890
There were many times I wondered
if we really had to go that far.

828
01:22:58,015 --> 01:23:05,063
The late Mr Ji Joong-hyun
got hurt badly.

829
01:23:05,189 --> 01:23:08,025
He broke his teeth.

830
01:23:08,150 --> 01:23:14,823
When he doubled for Choi getting thrown,
his back was cut like this much.

831
01:23:14,948 --> 01:23:16,200
...three!

832
01:23:30,339 --> 01:23:35,177
Are you okay?
You look like you're getting tired.

833
01:23:35,302 --> 01:23:39,014
Let's do it just one more time.

834
01:23:39,932 --> 01:23:41,558
Don't overwork yourself.

835
01:23:42,976 --> 01:23:47,189
It feels a bit slow. Probably because
you bounce too little coming down.

836
01:23:47,314 --> 01:23:52,819
I wanted the penthouse scene
to be realistic so we did many takes.

837
01:23:52,945 --> 01:23:54,780
He had to hang upside down.

838
01:23:54,905 --> 01:24:01,036
He had wires,
but he fell and broke his teeth.

839
01:24:01,161 --> 01:24:02,579
Two, three!

840
01:24:07,042 --> 01:24:08,502
Are you okay?

841
01:24:13,340 --> 01:24:14,508
Hold on.

842
01:24:15,050 --> 01:24:19,513
I heard him talking to a friend one day.

843
01:24:20,514 --> 01:24:25,185
He said, "Fuck, I'm screwed.
I lost all my teeth." I felt bad.

844
01:24:25,310 --> 01:24:31,316
I sat for a while and then went
to ask Su-ran how much she had.

845
01:24:32,609 --> 01:24:35,821
There was 500,000 won
in the money pouch, so I asked for it.

846
01:24:35,946 --> 01:24:39,449
I gave it to the martial arts director
and said I was really sorry.

847
01:24:39,575 --> 01:24:42,369
We couldn't even afford to give him that.

848
01:24:43,161 --> 01:24:46,999
I went to the hospital after his accident

849
01:24:47,124 --> 01:24:49,459
while filming
The Good, the Bad, the Weird.

850
01:24:49,585 --> 01:24:51,211
I was so stunned.

851
01:24:55,591 --> 01:24:57,009
Cut!

852
01:24:59,595 --> 01:25:01,597
- Are you okay?
-Yes.

853
01:25:03,098 --> 01:25:06,018
THE LIGHTING TOOK
TOO LONG TO SET UP.

854
01:25:06,143 --> 01:25:09,479
COULDN'T FINISH SCENE 63-1, 2, 5.
MANY WORRIES.

855
01:25:09,605 --> 01:25:11,440
HAD TO WAIT 2 HOURS
AS GLASS CLOSET DIDN'T WORK.

856
01:25:11,565 --> 01:25:13,191
THINGS ARE TENSE.

857
01:25:13,317 --> 01:25:15,902
OPERATING THE GLASS CLOSET TOOK
TOO LONG. NO SLEEP. TROUBLE.

858
01:25:16,028 --> 01:25:21,575
I'd worked with directors Kang Woo-suk
and Kim Sang-un, so I was shocked.

859
01:25:21,700 --> 01:25:28,290
They shot a minimum of 40 shots per day,
but here we shot only four.

860
01:25:28,415 --> 01:25:31,126
The lighting director
is a lot older than me.

861
01:25:31,251 --> 01:25:37,507
But I nagged him to work faster and
said even I could do lighting at that rate.

862
01:25:38,550 --> 01:25:44,681
The director wanted a sunset scene
for when Yoo Ji-tae works out.

863
01:25:44,806 --> 01:25:50,520
The crew said we should paint
a blue matte for the backdrop.

864
01:25:50,646 --> 01:25:54,691
It takes a day to paint it
and adaytodryit.

865
01:25:54,816 --> 01:25:56,276
That would mean two days.

866
01:25:56,401 --> 01:26:00,697
I said we could start filming
in three hours.

867
01:26:00,822 --> 01:26:03,909
I used lights to create a sunset.

868
01:26:04,034 --> 01:26:08,664
The lighting director
contributed a lot to Oldboy.

869
01:26:08,789 --> 01:26:14,711
In order to reveal details
in the dark parts that are barely visible,

870
01:26:14,836 --> 01:26:20,384
he spent hours setting up the lights.

871
01:26:20,509 --> 01:26:25,263
I used to sit
in the penthouse set alone.

872
01:26:25,389 --> 01:26:33,230
The make-up director told everyone
to get out, saying I was doing art.

873
01:26:34,189 --> 01:26:39,361
Isat for 30 minutes
contemplating how to do the lights.

874
01:26:40,445 --> 01:26:44,116
I've done a lot of films
that took time.

875
01:26:44,741 --> 01:26:51,248
Now I ask myself whether
that work was really necessary.

876
01:26:51,373 --> 01:26:53,709
Now, things are done so quickly.

877
01:26:53,834 --> 01:27:00,048
The crew are told to keep shooting fast.

878
01:27:00,173 --> 01:27:04,428
So movies now don't move you as much.

879
01:27:05,554 --> 01:27:11,977
I feel that doing things fast enabled
low-quality films to keep getting made.

880
01:27:12,102 --> 01:27:18,608
Once, in a very timid gesture,
I put a clock on the director's desk.

881
01:27:18,734 --> 01:27:20,819
I was hinting: "check the time."

882
01:27:20,944 --> 01:27:23,739
What I thought was...

883
01:27:25,323 --> 01:27:33,832
such an artist is pouring his heart
and soul into achieving something.

884
01:27:34,791 --> 01:27:38,503
I couldn't tell him to stop
just because time was up.

885
01:27:38,628 --> 01:27:40,756
I resented him.

886
01:27:43,759 --> 01:27:56,813
The director refuses to compromise on art
unless he completely understands.

887
01:27:57,272 --> 01:28:04,738
I got worried, so I asked him a few times
if we could just go ahead.

888
01:28:05,197 --> 01:28:07,115
But I never won once.

889
01:28:07,240 --> 01:28:09,451
I don't think I ever really wanted to.

890
01:28:10,327 --> 01:28:12,788
I liked it. It couldn't be helped.

891
01:28:13,330 --> 01:28:24,424
So the producer and his wife used
all their credit cards to keep filming.

892
01:28:24,549 --> 01:28:28,720
They never told me,
soldid alot of takes.

893
01:28:29,262 --> 01:28:34,893
When I heard that later,
I felt so sorry, and grateful.

894
01:28:37,437 --> 01:28:38,855
One last time.

895
01:28:39,648 --> 01:28:41,024
Really.

896
01:28:41,608 --> 01:28:43,193
Jung, I mean it.

897
01:28:46,488 --> 01:28:48,448
- Cut!
- Cops.

898
01:28:51,993 --> 01:28:53,995
Wow. You're so fast.

899
01:28:56,373 --> 01:28:58,500
- Rolling!
- 109-8-1.

900
01:29:00,001 --> 01:29:05,507
We had nothing to look forward to.
We were all so tired.

901
01:29:06,341 --> 01:29:10,720
There was a pool of water
in the penthouse.

902
01:29:10,846 --> 01:29:13,223
Every reporter that came fell in it.

903
01:29:13,348 --> 01:29:19,980
We would count how many fell in.
That was the only fun we had.

904
01:29:20,105 --> 01:29:26,528
Once on set, filming takes a long time.
We shot for 48 hours sometimes.

905
01:29:27,445 --> 01:29:30,866
We voted whether to sleep then film
or just keep filming.

906
01:29:30,991 --> 01:29:33,660
We wrap up scene 109,
no matter what.

907
01:29:33,785 --> 01:29:39,833
Wrap up scene 109 today,
be it 2:00pm or 3:00pm.

908
01:29:39,958 --> 01:29:44,588
Sleep, then assemble at 4:00am
of the 9th. That's choice

909
01:29:44,713 --> 01:29:52,846
We're filming 24 hours
so we should rest for at least 12 hours.

910
01:29:53,305 --> 01:29:54,764
Then it's 4:00am.

911
01:29:54,890 --> 01:29:57,934
The lighting director
is of the opposite opinion.

912
01:29:58,393 --> 01:30:09,738
It's a question of whether to start
from morning and work all night,

913
01:30:10,530 --> 01:30:16,620
or start from evening and work 24 hours.

914
01:30:18,663 --> 01:30:21,124
Everyone decides for themselves.

915
01:30:21,249 --> 01:30:23,001
10, 11, 12, 13,

916
01:30:23,126 --> 01:30:27,422
14, 15, 16, 17, 18.

917
01:30:28,089 --> 01:30:29,966
We assemble tonight.

918
01:30:33,011 --> 01:30:34,012
Only a few.

919
01:30:34,888 --> 01:30:38,558
9, 10, 11, 12,

920
01:30:38,683 --> 01:30:42,979
13, 14, 15, 16. That's it.

921
01:30:43,939 --> 01:30:45,607
Let's shoot.

922
01:30:45,732 --> 01:30:47,651
Then we finish it now?

923
01:30:47,776 --> 01:30:49,402
Let's go.

924
01:30:50,779 --> 01:30:53,657
I remember one time,
everyone fell asleep.

925
01:30:53,782 --> 01:31:00,789
Only the director and a few people
were awake. That was hell.

926
01:31:00,914 --> 01:31:05,835
Choi was supposed to look down
and then raise his head slowly.

927
01:31:05,961 --> 01:31:07,837
When we said, "Action..."

928
01:31:11,049 --> 01:31:15,136
The director said, "That poor guy!"
It was that exhausting.

929
01:31:26,731 --> 01:31:28,817
Even then,

930
01:31:28,942 --> 01:31:35,615
Choi was able to make everyone relax,
as if we were working on a comedy.

931
01:31:38,159 --> 01:31:40,662
Wait. Oh Dae-su
does superhuman feats.

932
01:31:43,915 --> 01:31:45,458
He bends this.

933
01:31:52,549 --> 01:31:56,886
Then we can't film it touching you.

934
01:31:57,012 --> 01:31:59,556
- You can.
- It bends right away.

935
01:31:59,681 --> 01:32:00,682
Bend it like this.

936
01:32:02,475 --> 01:32:07,522
Looking back,
I think I did it intentionally.

937
01:32:07,647 --> 01:32:09,065
But it was...

938
01:32:09,858 --> 01:32:12,444
It was for me...

939
01:32:12,569 --> 01:32:16,573
I don't think anyone else knew this.

940
01:32:18,324 --> 01:32:20,243
I wasn't losing my mind,

941
01:32:20,368 --> 01:32:25,040
I was trying to relax my mouth muscles
and release the tension.

942
01:32:25,165 --> 01:32:27,375
I was nervous too, you know.

943
01:32:31,212 --> 01:32:33,590
Mi-do. Mi-do!

944
01:32:34,924 --> 01:32:36,051
Let's go.

945
01:32:37,719 --> 01:32:42,974
You know that scene
where Choi has an outburst?

946
01:32:45,143 --> 01:32:49,606
Where he says, "I'll be your dog."
He got the okay after two takes.

947
01:32:49,731 --> 01:32:53,234
It was incredible being there.

948
01:32:54,069 --> 01:32:59,032
There are splendid moments like that,
though filmmaking is so painful.

949
01:32:59,157 --> 01:33:03,203
None of us even dared to gulp.

950
01:33:03,328 --> 01:33:04,913
If by any chance...

951
01:33:05,747 --> 01:33:08,500
Mi-do finds out the truth,

952
01:33:08,625 --> 01:33:10,960
you son of a bitch...

953
01:33:13,338 --> 01:33:16,966
In the script and the storyboard,

954
01:33:17,092 --> 01:33:24,265
I was supposed to shed tears
because I'd finally got my revenge.

955
01:33:24,390 --> 01:33:29,354
But then the director asked me
to dine with him,

956
01:33:29,479 --> 01:33:32,607
and he said he wanted to change it.

957
01:33:33,483 --> 01:33:41,616
I asked him how,
and he told me to look and just laugh.

958
01:33:41,741 --> 01:33:48,123
I said, "Laugh?" and he said
it'd be much more unusual and interesting.

959
01:34:04,264 --> 01:34:10,645
His tongue was cut and bleeding a lot,
and we were shooting it for days.

960
01:34:11,104 --> 01:34:19,154
Once you put blood on, it dries up,
but it had to look wet every time.

961
01:34:19,279 --> 01:34:25,285
He lost his frame of mind,
and filming all night made him lose sleep.

962
01:34:25,827 --> 01:34:29,873
He lost his temper all of a sudden,
so I went to the director.

963
01:34:29,998 --> 01:34:37,130
And I asked him to let the AD formally
approve my spraying water on the blood.

964
01:34:37,255 --> 01:34:39,090
- Set.
- Action!

965
01:34:43,344 --> 01:34:44,429
Cut.

966
01:34:45,763 --> 01:34:49,976
Take a break.
Keeping your mouth open is exhausting.

967
01:34:53,021 --> 01:34:54,439
Take five.

968
01:34:54,981 --> 01:35:00,862
We waited around a lot
and we were running low on energy.

969
01:35:00,987 --> 01:35:06,242
I think everyone was really depressed
for various reasons.

970
01:35:06,701 --> 01:35:11,539
But Ithink that helped the film a lot.

971
01:35:14,500 --> 01:35:16,127
Just leave it closed.

972
01:35:26,930 --> 01:35:28,264
Now...

973
01:35:30,934 --> 01:35:34,145
what willilive for?

974
01:35:35,897 --> 01:35:37,148
Huh?

975
01:35:38,816 --> 01:35:42,028
Everyone was acting like Woo-jin.

976
01:35:43,154 --> 01:35:46,991
They're laughing but not really.

977
01:35:48,159 --> 01:35:51,871
They had a grudge.

978
01:35:53,248 --> 01:35:58,670
Filming was wrapping up
but nothing felt finished.

979
01:36:02,715 --> 01:36:04,300
That's how it felt.

980
01:36:05,510 --> 01:36:07,470
LAUGH, AND THE WORLD
LAUGHS WITH YOU.

981
01:36:07,595 --> 01:36:09,430
WEEP, AND YOU WEEP ALONE.

982
01:36:09,555 --> 01:36:17,230
When I ring my bell,
you'll split into two people.

983
01:36:21,401 --> 01:36:24,696
One person doesn't know
your secret: Oh Dae-su.

984
01:36:26,072 --> 01:36:29,117
The one who knows your secret
is the monster.

985
01:36:30,451 --> 01:36:35,748
When I ring the bell again, the monster
will turn around and start walking.

986
01:36:40,837 --> 01:36:44,257
With each step,
he will age by one year.

987
01:36:51,472 --> 01:36:56,728
I can't talk about it
without mentioning the spirit of that era.

988
01:36:56,853 --> 01:37:01,149
A lot of great films came out that year.

989
01:37:01,941 --> 01:37:05,153
That energy may have existed
in those days.

990
01:37:05,278 --> 01:37:09,115
There were too many good films
coming out

991
01:37:09,240 --> 01:37:13,161
to credit it just to youth.

992
01:37:13,786 --> 01:37:19,334
Ithink we thought
what we were making was important.

993
01:37:19,459 --> 01:37:23,171
Even the fights with the producers
were due to that energy.

994
01:37:23,755 --> 01:37:33,014
It was a monster born out of all
the circumstances of the times.

995
01:37:34,015 --> 01:37:36,392
The film was a blessing
to all involved.

996
01:37:36,517 --> 01:37:38,895
Maybe I'll never see
another project like that

997
01:37:39,020 --> 01:37:41,647
because we can't go back to that time.

998
01:37:55,620 --> 01:38:00,208
Mr Choi gained weight again.

999
01:38:00,333 --> 01:38:05,797
We stopped for a few months and
then he gained weight again for filming.

1000
01:38:07,840 --> 01:38:09,842
Hye-jung, do that again.

1001
01:38:10,551 --> 01:38:12,011
Yeah, with your shoulders.

1002
01:38:17,892 --> 01:38:24,857
He told me to check out the wings,
so I just put them on.

1003
01:38:27,026 --> 01:38:32,365
I acted cute like I would before elders.

1004
01:38:46,921 --> 01:38:47,964
Cut.

1005
01:38:58,599 --> 01:39:03,146
It couldn't be completed unless
everyone involved was crazy.

1006
01:39:04,981 --> 01:39:06,774
We were all crazy.

1007
01:39:06,899 --> 01:39:08,568
The make-up and costume designers,

1008
01:39:08,693 --> 01:39:11,362
the directors of art,
lighting and cinematography.

1009
01:39:11,487 --> 01:39:14,907
They were all crazy,
including the actors.

1010
01:39:17,118 --> 01:39:22,498
I think Director Park
put a spell on everyone.

1011
01:39:23,583 --> 01:39:26,586
He might say he doesn't know
how he did it.

1012
01:39:27,128 --> 01:39:28,796
I don't know.

1013
01:39:28,921 --> 01:39:30,131
I just...

1014
01:39:31,215 --> 01:39:36,679
I was doing what I'd always done.
I didn't know any other way.

1015
01:39:37,472 --> 01:39:40,141
I thought all directors did it that way.

1016
01:39:41,058 --> 01:39:43,519
Now, what will I live for?

1017
01:40:09,253 --> 01:40:11,214
I wasn't even flirting!

1018
01:40:11,339 --> 01:40:12,340
Let me go!

1019
01:40:16,719 --> 01:40:17,845
Who are you?

1020
01:40:18,304 --> 01:40:20,806
Who I am isn't important.
What's important is why.

1021
01:40:23,100 --> 01:40:24,519
Still haven't worked it out?

1022
01:40:24,644 --> 01:40:26,020
I can't trust you.

1023
01:40:28,981 --> 01:40:29,982
Don't open it, okay?

1024
01:40:30,107 --> 01:40:32,235
Can't you come now?

1025
01:40:34,278 --> 01:40:37,031
Two men's secrets are revealed.

1026
01:40:37,156 --> 01:40:38,950
Oldboy.

1027
01:40:39,450 --> 01:40:44,455
The big twist has to be kept
a secret no matter what.

1028
01:40:44,580 --> 01:40:47,792
We can't tell a soul.

1029
01:40:47,917 --> 01:40:53,256
When we began marketing,
we didn't have any screenings.

1030
01:40:53,381 --> 01:41:00,054
They said it'd be banned from theatres
because of the incest

1031
01:41:00,179 --> 01:41:04,642
and it'd receive tremendous criticism,
but I wasn't worried about that.

1032
01:41:04,767 --> 01:41:06,811
I did worry about sales, though.

1033
01:41:06,936 --> 01:41:12,233
On the day of the press screening,

1034
01:41:12,358 --> 01:41:15,820
it was the only screening,
but there was no applause.

1035
01:41:17,321 --> 01:41:22,034
No one even talked,
and everyone just left quietly.

1036
01:41:22,827 --> 01:41:29,584
This is a very vulgar story.
A father and daughter fall in love.

1037
01:41:30,626 --> 01:41:35,464
Can it get any worse than that?
How could he pull it off?

1038
01:41:35,590 --> 01:41:44,015
It explores the fundamental sense of guilt
and the issue of good and evil.

1039
01:41:44,140 --> 01:41:50,146
It asks these questions non-stop
for 100 minutes.

1040
01:41:50,271 --> 01:41:57,278
It sounds vague, but I thought people
would watch it if it was interesting.

1041
01:41:57,403 --> 01:42:01,240
That was the simple idea I had
while making it.

1042
01:42:01,365 --> 01:42:05,161
I just tried to make an interesting film.

1043
01:42:05,286 --> 01:42:09,582
More people came to see it
than I expected.

1044
01:42:09,707 --> 01:42:15,671
I don't know why, but I was so busy
when the film opened in theatres.

1045
01:42:15,796 --> 01:42:20,176
My own brother made it but I didn't even go
to the premiere. I saw it much later.

1046
01:42:20,301 --> 01:42:22,803
Because everyone went to see it.

1047
01:42:23,512 --> 01:42:26,599
I told him over the phone
that I enjoyed it.

1048
01:42:26,724 --> 01:42:31,479
He sounded a bit annoyed
and said, "It's about time."

1049
01:42:35,149 --> 01:42:37,360
THE MATRIX TRILOGY MEGA-TALK

1050
01:42:37,485 --> 01:42:40,529
QLDBQY WHO ARE YOU?

1051
01:42:40,655 --> 01:42:43,157
SECRETS OF OLDBOY REVEALED

1052
01:42:44,825 --> 01:42:47,286
BEST MOVIES OF 2003

1053
01:42:48,704 --> 01:42:51,874
THE WINNER OF THE MOST 24TH
BLUE DRAGON AWARDS!

1054
01:42:51,999 --> 01:42:55,628
Before Cannes, we screened it
at a film market.

1055
01:42:55,753 --> 01:42:58,839
There was one in Milan then.

1056
01:42:58,964 --> 01:43:06,472
The programmer for Cannes was there,
and he sent us an invitation a week later.

1057
01:43:06,597 --> 01:43:11,811
It wasn't in competition at first.
It was in Un Certain Regard.

1058
01:43:12,520 --> 01:43:17,108
One week before the official selection
was announced,

1059
01:43:17,233 --> 01:43:21,487
they suddenly put it in competition.

1060
01:43:22,738 --> 01:43:27,493
I thought submitting to Cannes
was too much.

1061
01:43:27,618 --> 01:43:30,204
I didn't think they would like it.

1062
01:43:33,666 --> 01:43:37,712
It wasn't the customary applause.
You could tell they really loved it.

1063
01:43:37,837 --> 01:43:41,590
I remember it was a very long
standing ovation.

1064
01:43:41,716 --> 01:43:46,345
It was the first time a Korean film
won the Grand Prize at Cannes,

1065
01:43:46,470 --> 01:43:53,185
and it brought the level
of Korean cinema up a notch.

1066
01:43:53,310 --> 01:43:58,816
It was the first example of a Korean film
being globally recognised

1067
01:43:58,941 --> 01:44:01,652
as one of the very best.

1068
01:44:06,574 --> 01:44:08,534
This is from the UK.

1069
01:44:09,910 --> 01:44:12,955
And this is from Japan.

1070
01:44:13,080 --> 01:44:18,085
These are box sets.

1071
01:44:19,795 --> 01:44:25,342
International buyers
loved this scene the most.

1072
01:44:26,552 --> 01:44:28,888
It's been ten years.

1073
01:44:32,391 --> 01:44:36,312
Ithinkthere should be
an Oldboy Memorial Hall or something!

1074
01:44:51,619 --> 01:44:53,704
How should I put it?

1075
01:45:01,128 --> 01:45:03,172
No more coffee.

1076
01:45:22,233 --> 01:45:24,235
Oldboy is...

1077
01:45:26,237 --> 01:45:30,658
significant in several ways.

1078
01:45:33,410 --> 01:45:41,001
The biggest is that it's the most
well known internationally,

1079
01:45:42,086 --> 01:45:45,089
and the most popular internationally.

1080
01:45:46,423 --> 01:45:52,972
I think Oldboy gave me something
and took away something.

1081
01:45:54,056 --> 01:45:57,726
As a 32-year-old producer,

1082
01:45:57,852 --> 01:46:04,275
there were times
I trusted myself too much.

1083
01:46:06,277 --> 01:46:09,780
You forget the pain over time...

1084
01:46:14,493 --> 01:46:18,497
but the feeling of happiness remains
like images.

1085
01:46:19,540 --> 01:46:21,166
The actors...

1086
01:46:21,292 --> 01:46:28,757
When directors think of a film,
they remember first and foremost

1087
01:46:28,883 --> 01:46:33,679
which actors they worked with.

1088
01:46:34,930 --> 01:46:44,857
I met Choi Min-sik, Yoo Ji-tae,
and Kang Hye-jung for the first time,

1089
01:46:45,733 --> 01:46:52,072
and this was my happiest
and most rewarding work.

1090
01:46:53,115 --> 01:46:54,700
That's it.

1091
01:46:59,496 --> 01:47:03,125
Look, when did
this royal maid wake up?

1092
01:47:03,250 --> 01:47:06,670
Your majesty,
we must leave a record of this.

1093
01:47:06,795 --> 01:47:08,339
Ah!

1094
01:47:08,464 --> 01:47:11,300
We shall hand it
to the History Compilation Committee.

1095
01:47:11,425 --> 01:47:12,635
Your highness.

1096
01:47:12,760 --> 01:47:22,144
The evaluation of Oldboy by critics,
the public, and the film festivals...

1097
01:47:22,686 --> 01:47:29,193
Because our work is to show the public,

1098
01:47:29,318 --> 01:47:32,488
they are all happy,
good and memorable things.

1099
01:47:32,613 --> 01:47:38,118
But when I feel myself,
as an actor,

1100
01:47:39,787 --> 01:47:45,834
I always have a strong desire
to work like this again.

1101
01:47:45,960 --> 01:47:50,589
I really miss those days.
I miss them.

1102
01:47:50,714 --> 01:47:54,301
The experienced elders were revered.

1103
01:47:54,426 --> 01:47:58,764
It convinced me
to make movies till I die,

1104
01:47:58,889 --> 01:48:08,107
the challenges, passion, sacrifice
and respect all came together.

1105
01:48:08,232 --> 01:48:10,859
It's like a far-off homeland.

1106
01:48:10,985 --> 01:48:13,612
Oldboy is like that.

1107
01:48:13,737 --> 01:48:20,703
I've spent the past 10 years asking
if I'll ever see anything like that again.

1108
01:48:20,828 --> 01:48:28,168
I wish I could work again
with such a director, crew and cast.

1109
01:48:28,794 --> 01:48:31,463
I've longed for it for 10 years.

1110
01:48:34,800 --> 01:48:37,636
It's like a far-off homeland.
