[Chua-young's Music Box] The Aesthetics of Repetition and Variation in 'Asako' and the OST 'netemo sametemo'

[Chua-young's Music Box] The Aesthetics of Repetition and Variation in 'Asako' and the OST 'netemo sametemo'

I am captivated by the music in films. Music conveys the intimate emotions of characters that cannot always be expressed through visible images and audible dialogues. It can also serve as a window into the hidden intentions of the creator. For me, understanding film music was a way to connect with the film. 'Chua-young's Music Box' listens to the voice of the film more closely through music. (P.S. I hope you read this while listening to the music.)
Boys gather in groups and light firecrackers. The firecrackers soar into the sky with a bang, startling Asako , who ducks for cover. At this moment, music begins to play, blending with the montage of the city, infusing the film with vitality.

[Joo Seong-cheol's Locker] The King Lear of Korea and Japan, Lee Soon-jae and Nakadai Tatsuya, Two Masters Rest

I become fascinated by objects in movies. I fall into deep contemplation about why those objects were placed in front of the camera, whether by the director, cinematographer, art director, or actors. 'Joo Seong-cheol's Locker' is a record of the objects in movies that have lightly stepped on my eyes.
“O poor and naked souls who are suffering from this harsh storm somewhere. How are you enduring this fierce storm, clutching your hungry belly without a room to lay your head, dressed in rags under a hole-ridden window. I have been too indifferent to you all this time.
