Bong Joon-ho

Through my lens, hierarchy becomes architecture—a staircase designed to keep some climbing while others rot below. My stories are grenades rolled into parlors: *Parasite*’s half-basement stench, *Snowpiercer*’s train-tooled caste wars, *The Host*’s monster born from American poison. Critics call it satire, but I insist it’s autopsy. The world already wore the mask; I merely hold the mirror so it can see itself sweat. After awards ceremonies, I retreat to edit shadows—where even the powerful shrink into silhouettes.
