[Joo Seong-cheol’s Locker] Do You Know the Origin of Woody in “Toy Story”?

[Joo Seong-cheol’s Locker] Do You Know the Origin of Woody in “Toy Story”?

I can’t stop fixating on the objects in the movies. I get pulled into deep thought over why—director, cinematographer, production designer, maybe even an actor—someone put that object in front of the camera. “Joo Seong-cheol’s Locker” is a record of the objects from films that landed in my eyes, as if they gently stepped over them.
〈Toy Story 2〉 (1999)’s opening begins as if it were a scene from the 〈Star Wars〉 series. And in the moment of crisis, Woody recites the lines “Think about it, think about it,” like the way Dong-su (Kim Sang-kyung) does in 〈Theater Jeon〉 (2005) or Yeon-hong (Son Ye-jin) does in 〈No Secrets〉 (2016).

Who’s Your 'Triangle'? Mixed-Gender Groups That Come to Mind After Watching 〈Wild Sing〉

It’s one of those songs you’ve never heard before, but it sounds familiar. The stage looks new, yet you get a strong sense of déjà vu. If you saw the film that opened on June 3, 〈Wild Sing〉, you probably felt that.

[Joo Seong-cheol’s Locker] Zombie Things That Don’t Flinch Even When Shot: Korea’s First Zombie Film, “Kwe-si” (1981)

I can’t help but fixate on the objects in the movies. I find myself getting deeply lost in thought about why—of all things—this director, cinematographer, art director, or even the actor, placed that item in front of the camera. “Joo Seong-cheol’s Locker” is a record of the objects in films that landed on my eyes with a light, delicate stomp.
〈Gun-chae〉surpassed 3 million viewers in just 10 days. According to the Korean Film Commission’s integrated computer network, it reached the 3 million mark on May 30, its 10th day after release, four days earlier than 〈King and the Man〉, which drew 16 million viewers.

The Man Loved by Jang Hang-jun, 'The Man Living with the King' Kim Min

The Man Loved by Jang Hang-jun, 'The Man Living with the King' Kim Min

I am curious about people. Even if they are already recognized actors, today might be the least famous day of their lives. 'Kim Ji-yeon's Jewelry Box' introduces actors who are continuously breaking their own records. Invest in 'low point stocks'.
An actor with a pleasantly surprising quality. Undoubtedly Jang Hang-jun's man. From the movie 〈Rebound〉 to 〈The Killers〉, and 〈The Man Living with the King〉. Kim Min has been cast in three consecutive works by director Jang Hang-jun, becoming his new persona.

[Joo Seong-cheol's Locker] The 'Canned Cart Camera' that Changed the History of World Cinema with 'Nouvelle Vague'

I am fascinated by objects in movies. I ponder deeply why directors, cinematographers, art directors, or even 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.
"Keep shooting, because only we can do it. " 〈Nouvelle Vague〉 is a film set in Paris in 1959, depicting the process of Jean-Luc Godard , a passionate young film critic for the French film magazine 'Cahiers du Cinéma', shooting his debut film 〈Breathless〉 (1959).
