I fall into deep thought over why, whether it’s the director, the cinematographer, the art director—or even the actor—someone felt compelled to place that particular item in front of the camera. “Joo Seong-cheol’s Locker” is a record of the movie objects that came down on my eyes like stepping onto a soft stair.
Is there anyone who doesn’t know David’s stone. The story of David and Goliath that is told in 〈Robot Taekwon V〉(1976), and 〈General Tolly〉, and the 〈Ureomei〉 series, and countless other children’s animations and feature films—was also made by director Kim Cheong-gi, known for creating them all.
