Park Chan-wook

Often uses computer generated effects to smoothen transitions between shots
Frequently uses short, surreal fantasy sequences in which a deceased character will interact with a living one in the film's present (or vice versa).
Usually casts Kang-ho Song and Ha-kyun Shin as friends or enemies. (Joint Security Area, Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, Sympathy for Lady Vengeance, Thirst )
Characters in his films often use scissors to commit acts of violence. (Vengeance trilogy, Thirst, Stoker)
Bold, colourful cinematography

Decided to become a filmmaker after seeing Alfred Hitchcock's वर्टिगो (1958).
Turned down the chance to remake The Evil Dead (1981).
His films Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance (2002), Oldboy (2003), and Lady Vengeance (2005) are widely known as the "Vengeance Trilogy".
Was a student of philosophy at Sogang University in Seoul.
Met his wife at a university film club in the '80s.

I don't feel enjoyment watching films that evoke passivity. If you need that kind of comfort, I don't understand why you wouldn't go to a spa.
Basically, I'm throwing out the question 'When is such violence justified?' To get that question to touch the audience physically and directly - that's what my goal is. In the experience of watching my film, I don't want the viewer to stop at the mental or the intellectual. I want them to feel my work physically. And because that is one of my goals, the title 'exploitative' will probably follow me around for a while.
In our lives, we have good things and bad things, happiness and pain. Life is full of pain and happiness and that's what I wanted to show.
Living without hate for people is almost impossible. There is nothing wrong with fantasizing about revenge. You can have that feeling. You just shouldn't act on it.
I have principles and rules. I deal very carefully with acts of violence and make sure that audiences understand how much suffering these acts cause.
