[Joo Seong-cheol’s Lockers] Lee Cronin’s The Mummy and Murderous People Season 2 — and a Scorpion Jacket That Feels Like the Rise of Drive

[Joo Seong-cheol’s Lockers] Lee Cronin’s The Mummy and Murderous People Season 2 — and a Scorpion Jacket That Feels Like the Rise of Drive

I get hooked on the objects in movies. I can’t help but get lost in questions about why the director, cinematographer, production designer, or even the actors put that thing right in front of the camera. “[Joo Seong-cheol’s Lockers]” is a record of those movie objects that land lightly—right onto my eyes.
Watching 〈Lee Cronin’s The Mummy〉 , you can feel the full-on force of Blumhouse as it revives a franchise that seemed long dead: 〈Mummy〉. The first 〈Mummy〉 (1932), powered by the charisma of actor Boris Karloff, was basically the flagship of the “Universal Horror” era.

Angels, Witches, Vampires, a Re-Release of 'Orlando'—Two or Three Things to Know About Tilda Swinton ②

In〈〉Orlando〈〉, the queen becomes captivated by the handsome young nobleman Orlando (Tilda Swinton) and issues a command: “Never grow old, and never die.”
▶ The article about the re-release of〈〉Orlando〈〉 and Tilda Swinton continues from the first installment. Meeting Derek Jarman, the maverick of British film, is surprisingly meaningful. Ever since Derek Jarman debuted with〈〉Caravaggio〈〉, he appeared in eight consecutive films.

“Yeon-jigu” In-Depth Review ② : A Touching Moment When Tony Leung Chiu-wai and Maggie Cheung Were Playing Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai in “The Butterfly Lovers”

“Yeon-jigu” In-Depth Review ② : A Touching Moment When Tony Leung Chiu-wai and Maggie Cheung Were Playing Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai in “The Butterfly Lovers”

〈Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai〉 are also known as the “Chinese version of 〈Romeo and Juliet〉,” but they are also the original inspiration for 〈Forbidden Love〉 (1994) starring Tony Leung Chiu-wai and Yu Wen-yi.
※ 〈Yeon-jigu〉 In-Depth Review continues from the first article. The final third act is 〈Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai〉, a Yue Opera performance that Huayeh watches on the street. Director Yihanxang made a film adaptation of this story in 1962, and it became a huge hit.

‘Yeonjigu’ In-Depth Review ①: The First Glance That Hooked Me—‘Guest-Trip Autumn Regret’ Sung by Tony Leung Chiu-wai and Anita Mui

‘Yeonjigu’ In-Depth Review ①: The First Glance That Hooked Me—‘Guest-Trip Autumn Regret’ Sung by Tony Leung Chiu-wai and Anita Mui

Yeo-hua dresses in menswear and sings “Guest-Trip Autumn Regret” (客途秋恨), and Zhenfang, who arrives late to the drinking gathering, is instantly captivated by what he sees.
〈Injigu〉(1987) lived in Korea for a long time under the title 〈Injigu〉. This all started when the journalist who first introduced the film mistook the Chinese characters and wrote 〈Injigu〉; afterward, other outlets copied it as well. Even action star Donnie Yen (甄子丹) went through something similar.

[Joo Seong-cheol's Locker] Tony Leung Sometimes Wants to Hold an Ashtray.

[Joo Seong-cheol's Locker] Tony Leung Sometimes Wants to Hold an Ashtray.

I get fascinated by objects in movies. I ponder deeply about why the director, cinematographer, art director, or even the actors placed that object in front of the camera. 'Joo Seong-cheol's Locker' is a record of the objects in movies that have lightly stepped on my eyes.
I sometimes hold an ashtray too. In the second meeting after director Hou Hsiao-hsien and actor Tony Leung's 〈Days of Being Wild〉 (1989), there is a scene in 〈In the Mood for Love〉 (1998) where Tony Leung suddenly acts out in a fit of rage.
