[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).
