Ghost Dog

I really like this movie, and I really like this scene.  The soundtrack is also amazing.   

Take Care of My Cat

"Take Care of My Cat" is one of my favorite Korean movies to date . . . although I haven't watched very many Korean movies recently.  If you have any suggestions on good Korean films, let me know.

Anyhoo, the movie is about five high school friends dealing with transition in their lives and in their friendship.  I also really appreciate the film's glimpse into the growing multicultural face of Korean society.

I also love the soundtrack.  I discovered Byul (not to be confused with the female Kpop star) through this movie who created the score for the film.  This first clip shows him introducing the director of "Take Care of My Cat", Jeong Jae-eun and playing an alternate version of "2" from the movie. 

The second video is a music video for the movie, and the song title roughly translates into "Where did the genuine french fry period go?"  Yup, I'm feelin' it. 

I've been searching for more of his music online but haven't been able to dig up too much yet.

I hope these talented artists keep creating.   

 

It's been a busy season

I've been so busy that I really haven't had time to blog.  I had hoped that by starting this blog I could post insightful, interesting, and thoughtful posts but it's been a mixed bag.  Oh well, as long as I keep enjoying it.  I hope to post a lot more once I get past these last few weeks of deadlines and projects.

That said, I've really enjoyed Netflix's extensive library of art documentaries and art films.  This is one I recently watched on Maya Lin - the woman who designed the Vietnam Veteran's memorial.  Ahh, such a great film and such an inspiring woman.  I'll have to write more on her at another time.
