[Joo Sung-cheol’s Locker] Watching “Marty Supreme,” Recalling Yoon Nam-gyu’s Penholder Table Tennis Racket

[Joo Sung-cheol’s Locker] Watching “Marty Supreme,” Recalling Yoon Nam-gyu’s Penholder Table Tennis Racket

I get hooked on objects shown in movies. I can’t help but wonder why the director, the cinematographer, the production designer—or even the actor—put that item in front of the camera. “Joo Sung-cheol’s Locker” is a record of the movie objects that landed softly in my eyes.
〈Marty Supreme〉 is a table tennis movie. For Korean film fans, the Sharpdy brothers are well known for 〈Heaven Knows What〉(2014), 〈Good Time〉(2017), and 〈Uncut Gems〉(2019), but 〈Marty Supreme〉 is a feature film that older brother Josh Safdie directed on his own for the first time in nearly 10 years.

[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.
