Akira Kurosawa



"I don't feel I deserve this. I don't feel that I understand cinema. To grasp the true essence of cinema is very very difficult."

This is why Akira Kurosawa remained a step above the others. He was very sincere in terms of what he said. He was always a student of cinema -- always with eyes open, ears listening, always wanting to learn more, always listening to the magic of cinema, and never content with saying "enough -- I know all I need to know." That is why he was great.

Inspiration !



The process is what it's all about.

You can't create a story that you haven't had yourself live in some way. Otherwise you are just a craftsman.

What i call the dialogue driven movie!

Nice slapstick korean movie!

Damn nice korean soldier movie !

Silmido is a 2003 South Korean film, directed by Kang Woo-suk. It is loosely based on a military uprising from the island of Silmido in the 1970s. At the end of its run, the film was the most watched film ever in South Korea, and the first film to attract an audience of 10 million viewers in the country. Taegukgi later broke its record in 2004, and then The King and the Clown with additional 2 million in 2006.

Silmido is based on a true story of events happening from 1968 to 1971, although the details surrounding the event did not go public until 1999. When a group of North Korean commandos infiltrate the South to assassinate then Korean president Park Jung-Hee, the South Korean and US military barely intercept the would-be assassins before their mission is completed. As the North-South tensions reach their breaking point, the South decides to secretly train its own Special Forces codenamed Unit 684, to exact revenge and kill North Korea’s premier, Kim-Il Sung. Thus the story of Silmido Island and Unit 684 begins.

Director: Kang Woo-Suk
Writer: Kim Hie-Jae
Genre: Drama, Action, True story
Release Date: December 2003

Most up to date commercial work

Opening Video for Carbon4.




SG films standards

One day i was viewing you tube on Singapore short films. Also, i was looking at short films from other countries through vimeo.

CLICK TO WATCH IT ON VIMEO
http://vimeo.com/channels/01shortfilm

To be honest, i felt there is a gap in standards between Singapore short film and other countries. It could be due to that Singapore is a very young modern countries and has little history.

I remember when i was studying film, it was Roytan's short film that inspired me to tell story through motion pictures. I think i watched most of all his shorts and features except 12 lotus.
I feel that younger generation's films lack of individual style.
As i am working on my own too.



Recently i had a discussion with a few passionate film-making friends. We shared views and concluded these:

In Singapore as long as you are rich, you have contacts and investors, you can make your first feature with little film background or none. Some were even from other occupations.

Although money $$$ can buy you knowledge & experience, i believe that one should develop their unique style and trademark and NOT mimicking and be common or normal.

Yes i agree at a point that money is important to make a film possible but with little life experience, i don't think it is possible to fully maximize and execute in telling a in depth life story that involve emotions especially at a young age.
Therefore i feel that young directors can only do certain genre of film.

I also believe a style can only be develop through time and practice(keep making films).

I do not wish that in years to come, the mindset of Singapore film-making is about trying to make films for the sake of making film so commercially.
On general i am talking not only about shorts but features as well.
