3. Nature Will Not Be Ignored : Ecology and Neoliberalism in the Cinema of Bong Joon-ho
Kandidat-uppsats, Stockholms universitet/Avdelningen för koreanskaSammanfattning : The purpose of this thesis is to examine the filmography of Korean filmmaker Bong Joon-ho [Pong Chun-ho], and to provide a limited textual analysis of each film divided across two categories: the “explicitly ecological” and “implicitly ecological”. The intent is to, by viewing all of Bong’s films leading up to his critical and commercial success Parasite, argue that Parasite is as much an environmental film as it is critical of neoliberalism and globalization, both of which are common readings of not only Parasite, but all of Bong’s work.
