[Chu Sung-cheol’s Lockers] Who Spat on Leslie Cheung in “Farewell My Concubine”?

[Chu Sung-cheol’s Lockers] Who Spat on Leslie Cheung in “Farewell My Concubine”?

I get hooked on the objects in movies. I find myself falling into deep thought—why, of all things, did the director, cinematographer, production designer, or even an actor put that item in front of the camera? “Chu Sung-cheol’s Lockers” is a record of the film props that gently but firmly captured my attention.

[Chua-young's Music Box] The Meta Representation of Subculture 'Cosmic Princess Kaguya!' with 'World Is Mine' and 'Reply'

[Chua-young's Music Box] The Meta Representation of Subculture 'Cosmic Princess Kaguya!' with 'World Is Mine' and 'Reply'

I get hooked on the music in movies. Music sometimes conveys the intimate emotions of characters that cannot be expressed through visible images and audible dialogues. It can also serve as a window to glimpse the hidden intentions of the creator. For me, understanding movie music was one way to connect with the film. 'Chua-young's Music Box' listens to the voice of the movie more closely through music. (P.S. I hope you read this while listening to the music.)
