On September 13th at the 74th Emmy Awards , South Korean actor Lee Jung-jae won the Best Actor in a Drama Series for " Squid Game ". He is the first Asian in the history of the award and the first Korean one person.
Director Hwang Donghyuk won the Best Director Award in the Drama category for "Squid Game" . At the same time, two filmmakers have won heavyweight awards at international awards, and Korean films have really taken the limelight.
"Squid Game" shines with Netflix is not unrelated. In terms of quality and influence, the show is far inferior to "The Coquettish Lawyer", but considering the strong strength of Netflix and the crazy moves in the field of online dramas in recent years, it is understandable to give an award to commend it.
It is worth noting that Korean films have been brilliant in recent years, winning heavyweight trophies at several international film festivals. According to statistics, in just three years from 2020 to the present, Korean filmmakers have won 14 international awards.
should be most impressed by the popular " parasite " in 2019. The film starred national treasure actor Song Kanghao . Once it was released, it attracted widespread attention from the international film circle, and then started a crazy journey of winning awards. .
In May 2019 at the 72nd Cannes Film Festival , 's film "Parasite" won the Palme d'Or 's most important award - the best film award in the main competition unit , that is, the Palme d'Or! Created a record in Korean film history.
In February 2020, at the 92nd Academy Awards , "Parasite" won Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, Best International Film4 awards, sweeping the awards ceremony.
Needless to say in Korea, "Parasite" will be absolutely crushed at major awards ceremonies.
"Parasite" Yu Wen is still there, another filmmaker shoots the horse and kills it, adding icing on the cake for Korean movies. At the 93rd Academy Awards in 2021, South Korean actress Yoon Yuzhen won the Best Supporting Actress Award for her film " Minari ".
A year later, Korean films were once again in the spotlight at the Cannes Film Festival. At the 75th Cannes International Film Festival in 2022, director Park Chan-wook won the Palme d'Or best director with the movie "'s Determination to Break Up ", and actor Song Kanghao won the best actor with the movie " Broker ", becoming South Korea The first Cannes actor in film history.
Korean films also performed well at the Berlin Film Festival. Between 2020 and 2022, Korean filmmakers have won heavyweight awards three times.
The three trophies are:
The 70th Berlin Film Festival in 2020, director Hong Changxiu won the Best Director Award for " The Woman Who Runs Away"; Won the Best Original Screenplay Award;
At the 72nd Berlin Film Festival in 2022, director Hong Changxiu won the Jury Prize for " novelist's movie ".
14 awards in 3 years, even the pinnacle of Chinese movies is not so crazy. It can be said that Korean movies have fully risen, and their strength is not inferior to the Chinese movie . This is a notable phenomenon. Culture is the soft power of a country, and to some extent reflects the spiritual outlook of a country.
South Korea is a small country. It was not worth mentioning in the pop culture field in the past. Only Hong Kong movies can make him lose his armor and disarm, let alone Japanese movies. But now I have to say that Han Yu hasWe have become the leader and leader of Asian entertainment culture. While we are vigilant, we should learn from others.
