What will happen if two different cultures clash? Alienation, curiosity, and adaptation shall arise. The King and I gives us the many differences between the East and the West. Anna comes to Siam to teach English and American culture and customs to the people of Siam.
Siam represents the East while Anna’s beliefs, mannerism, etc. represent the West. The East is known for its many religions, one would be Buddhism. The Western, on the other hand has Christianity. There are certain differences in the belief system of the two. In the film, women are property in Siam. Tuptim is a beautiful woman and is also a present to the King of Siam from the Price of Burma. She becomes the property of the king of Siam and obliged to abide to the King’s law. She is forbidden to leave the palace. Polygamy is alright to the East. The King of Siam has many wives and children. “A woman is designed to please man. Man is designed to be pleased by many women,” that is what the King said. The King when asked how many children he has. He answers that he has a hundred and sixty seven and he’s expecting more (5 or so). Christians / West on the other hand believe that for a man to be happy, he has to fall in love and remain faithful to one woman. Anna says that “For a man to be happy, he must love one woman and one man only.” Monogamy is what the Westerns believe.
The East is also represented as uncivilized while the West is represented as scientific. The East wants to become like the West, to have technological advancement. The East seems to be very adaptive of Western culture. It seems that Siam is willing to give up their culture and tradition in order to achieve what the West has. During a party, all the Siamese women dress English costumes. The dining and menu are all English. Anna suggests to the King that it will be better if the one they will show would be what Siam really is (its delicacies, costumes), but the King insists that he wants them to look and become English.Western are more scientific.
In the East, there is the concept of monarchy; the King has the right to do anything to his people. He is then described to be barbaric. He has slaves and silences people not to speak out their views. The West has their democracy, where everyone is equal and Anna best represents this. Anna is free. Anna is able to say what she wants to say not fearing what the King will do to her. The King is surprised of her and says that she is a very difficult woman. The West is more expressive and free to say that they love someone. Anna’s son is very open to question her about anything, while the children of the King have limited talking time because the children always bow to him and have a minimum time to get real close. Human rights are valued by the West while in the East, there is no freedom. The little prince asked Anna, “How slaves are set free if their masters wish to keep them?” She answers that it would be possible by passing and enforcing a law. One of the most memorable line in the film would be “The question is not of what we want but what is right.” Slavery is still enforced in Siam until in the end of the film when the new King proclaims that there will be no slaves and bowing.
The concept of being independent in the West is very dominant. This is the reason why Anna insists on having a separate house included in the agreement. The East has the notion that why leave if you can all stay together. All the wives and children of the King live on the same roof. Thus, Anna is surprised in the beginning and said that she wants a little privacy when all the women come in to her room.
This film is not a story about love, but I really hoped that Anna and the King had stayed together and the King didn’t die. What the film’s story all about is valuing and giving importance to each other’s belief and culture even if they are very different and contrasting each other.
Third cinema is the cinema that recognizes in that struggle the most gigantic cultural, scientific, and artistic manifestation of time, the great possibility of constructing a liberated personality with each people at its starting point – ina word the decolonization of culture.
- Fernando Solanas and Octavio Gettino
Third cinema would be those films that fight the System, those which turn their back on and oppose the System. One film that fits the characteristics of third cinema is the work of Kidlat Tahimik, entitled Mababangong Bangungot.
Third cinema is deconstructive and constructive. Mababangong Bangungot is deconstructive in such a way that it does not belong to any genre. It also destroys the fantasy of imaginary bourgeois universe (Kidlat’s concept of a beautiful and progressive Paris and New York) and the concept of the masses as lazy, indolent and dangerous (the people of the barrio are simple individuals; they are peaceful and very hard-working). It constructs living reality which recaptures truth. At the end of the film, Kidlat realizes the consequences of the promise of pasture and progression of the Americans and he is exposed to the real outcome of progress.
In the film we are shown that the place is a colonized territory. The film showed two sides of the world, the simple barrio where Kidlat came from and the progressive city of Paris. When Kidlat came to Paris, he couldn’t believe what kind of world lies out there. He even asked his mother in his letter why their country can’t have progress like that of Paris.
Documentary is perhaps the main basis of revolutionary film-making. Mababangong Bangungot does not belong to any genre. It is more of a documentary which uses the thoughts of Kidlat Tahimik as narration (voice of God). It is not particularly conscious of the mise-en-scene, the construction of its framing and composition. It is like different kinds of footages tied up together with narration.
Revolutionary cinema provides discovery through transformation. Kidlat transforms himself at the latter part of the film. At the beginning, he is an avid fan of the Americans especially Wermer von Braun. “In America, I could become an astronaut; here I am only a jeepney driver.” These were the lines of Kidlat when asked why he admired America that much. In order to impose itself, neo-colonialism needs to convince the people of a dependent country of their own inferiority. In the end, Kidlat breaks this by insisting that he does not want to go to America, and he’ll choose his own vehicle no matter what. Third cinema should not only interpret the world, it should change it. “If the small chimneys worked, why the super chimneys? If the small markets worked, why supermarkets? If small airplanes worked, why super flying machines?” In this part of the film, Kidlat starts to question the concept of progress. He even starts to question his liking for the Americans. In the end, he starts to resist progress and the promise of green pastures in America. He chose his vehicle and chose his bridge.
“I am Kidlat Tahimik, I choose my vehicle and I can cross all bridges.””When the typhoon blows off its cocoon, the butterfly embraces the sun. The sleeping typhoon must learn to blow again.” These are some of the recurring lines in the film. There are so many poetic lines but these are the most significant ones. At first Kidlat’s father blew the strong wind to fight the Americans, and in the end Kidlat also learn to fight and blow really hard to destroy such a big myth about progress and his admiration to the Americans.
My fascination with Korean Cinema started when I first saw "The Classic." I also watched "My Sassy Girl" and "Windstruck" consecutively. Little did I know, that all of those films I had watched was directed by one person. The person all behind these amazing films was Director Kwak Jae Yong or Director Kwak Jae Young. It is because of him that I appreciated watching films in a different perspective. To date, I had watched almost all of his films. I would like to share this "kilig" experience by citing his filmography. Kudos to Kwak Jae Yong! May he continue to make awesome romantic comedy films!

Kwak Jae-yong (born 22 May 1959) is a South Korean film director and screenwriter. He studied physics at Kyunghee University. He achieved success with his debut film Watercolor Painting in a Rainy Day in 1989, but the failure of his next two movies led to eight years of unemployment before a comeback with the smash-hit film My Sassy Girl in 2001. He is known for his limitless fondness of love stories set in a mix of different genres.
In every single film he does, director KWAK’s main interest is “love.” Not just any love but pure, innocent and platonic feeling of love. He successfully captured the heart of the audience by showing comical and lovable characters and their touching love story in MY SASSY GIRL. In THE CLASSIC, by showing two different but connected love stories of two generations, he pulled out the memories of first loves everyone had or wants to have. Now, he is one of the best directors who can express love story in a way that both young and old generations can feel emotionally attached.

He also did cameo appearance in these films:

My Sassy Girl (2001) as Covered Cart Bar Customer
My Sassy Girl (2001)
Based on a series of true stories posted by Ho-sik Kim on the Internet describing his relationship with his girlfriend. These were later transformed into a best-selling book and the movie follows the book closely.
As the film opens we are introduced to Kyun-woo, a kind-hearted but at times naive college student who seems to keep getting into trouble. On his way home one night he encounters a beautiful but completely smashed young woman who causes a scene in the subway, calls him "honey", and then passes out. With the eyes of the other subway passengers upon him, he has little choice but to take responsibility for her. Thus begins his relationship with the at-times charming, at-times violent damsel who steals his heart.
Much of the film is structured around the bizarre antics of Kyun-woo's newfound girlfriend. After she passes out yet again, Kyun-woo looks at her blissful face and promises to himself that he will save her, and right whatever it is that troubles her. This proves to be much more of a challenge than he expects.

LOST
What are you fucking crazy?
It's getting hard to wait,
I'm trying to make her see,
That she don't really knows
That I'm trying to find a way,
And tell her every day, that she just goes along
So I...
I don't wanna be,
The only one that knows
That somebody could come along and just
Say the love for me,
I'm standing shaking ground,
And I've been thinking that I'm gonna lose it,
Chorus:
Cause I'm losing my head,
I'm losing my mind,
I'm losing control of myself this time.
She's got me losing my head,
I'm losing my mind,
I'm losing my way,
But I think she feels I'm already caught.
Are you talking to me?
I'm already caught.
I wish that I could see,
But it's making you
Feel this should be.
My love is like gunshot
All it takes is a shot for me to blow it all away.
I don't wanna feel like I'm just wasting time,
It's gonna be with you and no one else.
Until you notice me,
I need to know right now
Cause I've been think it that I'm gonna lose it
Chorus:
Cause I'm losing my head,
I'm losing my mind,
I'm losing control of myself this time.
She's got me losing my head,
I'm losing my mind,
I'm losing my way,
But I think she feels I'm already caught.
Give me a chance to...
But girl you make me nervous,
By now you should have noticed me.
And what will it take it
To a heavenly...
You're driving me insane!
Chorus:
Cause I'm losing my head,
I'm losing my mind,
I'm losing control of myself this time.
She's got me losing my head,
I'm losing my mind,
I'm losing my way,
But I think she feels I'm already caught.
REST
Everyday I wake up next to an angel
More beautiful than words could say
They said it wouldn't work but what do they know
Cuz here's the past and we're still here today
Never in my dreams did I think that this would happen to me
As I stand here before my woman
I can't fight back the tears in my eyes
Oh how could I be so lucky
I must have done something right
And I promised to love her
for the rest of my life...
Seems like yesterday when she first said hello
Funny how time flies when you're in love
It took us a lifetime to find each other
It was worth the wait cuz I finally found the one
Never in my dreams did I think that this would happen to me
As I stand here before my woman,
I can't fight back the tears in my eyes
Oh how could I have been so lucky
I must have done something right
And I promised to love her for the rest of my life...
SOMEWHERE IN BROOKLYN
(Chorus)
she was covered in leather and gold, 21 years old
i lost her in the cold
it's unfair, she's out there
somewhere, somewhere, somewhere in Brooklyn
she's somewhere, somewhere, somewhere in Brooklyn
(Verse 1)
little miss perfect sitting at the train stop
red nike high tops listening to hip-hop
while we were waiting started conversating
before i got her name along came a train
...next stop Brooklyn
now i'm lookin'
(Chorus)
she was covered in leather and gold, 21 years old
i lost her in the cold
it's unfair, she's out there
somewhere, somewhere, somewhere in Brooklyn
she's somewhere, somewhere, somewhere in Brooklyn
(Verse 2)
on the street kickin' rocks circling the same block
green farm flatbush
checking every corner shop
tappin' people's shoulders askin if they know her
everyday's the same back to the train
...I'm still lookin
(Chorus)
she was covered in leather and gold, 21 years old
i lost her in the cold
it's unfair, she's out there
somewhere, somewhere, somewhere in Brooklyn
she's somewhere, somewhere, somewhere in Brooklyn
Ohhh Ohh Oh Oh Ohhh
i wonder will we ever meet again
Ohhh Ohh Oh Oh Ohhh
i wonder will we ever meet again
yeahh...i wonder if we'll ever meet again
i hope we do somewhere in Brooklyn
JUST THE WAY YOU ARE REMIX
[Intro - Lupe Fiasco]
First rule, never let em change you
Rule two, do you to the fullest
And never be ashamed to
Your just good at what they can’t do
And they hate that, they wanna paint you
In they color, put you on another
But what they don’t accept, and what they don’t see
The best thing is what you already be
[Bruno Mars]
Oh her eyes, her eyes
Make the stars look like they’re not shining
Her hair, her hair
Falls perfectly without her trying
She’s so beautiful
And I tell her every day
Yeah I know, I know
When I compliment her
She wont believe me
And its so, its so
Sad to think she don’t see what I see
But every time she asks me do I look okay
I say
When I see your face
There’s not a thing that I would change
Cause you’re amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile,
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
Cause girl you’re amazing
Just the way you are
Her lips, her lips
I could kiss them all day if she’d let me
Her laugh, her laugh
She hates but I think its so sexy
She’s so beautiful
And I tell her every day
Oh you know, you know, you know
I’d never ask you to change
If perfect is what you’re searching for
Then just stay the same
So don’t even bother asking
If you look okay
You know I’ll say
When I see your face
There’s not a thing that I would change
Cause you’re amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile,
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
Cause girl you’re amazing
Just the way you are
[Lupe Fiasco]
Uh yeah
The definition of real is
If you don’t feel then you don’t you feel it
Don’t conceal it, don’t be fair
You look great only silicon will bill it
A botox to kill it
You just killin off spirit
And you the one that you gotta live with
So don’t get caught up in appearance
And see the inner beauty
When you look off in the mirrors
[Bruno Mars]
The way you are
The way you are
Girl you’re amazing
Just the way you are
When I see your face
There’s not a thing that I would change
Cause you’re amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile,
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
Cause girl you’re amazing
Just the way you are
TALKING TO THE MOON
I know you're somewhere out there
Somewhere far away
I want you back
I want you back
My neighbors think
I'm crazy
But they don't understand
You're all I have
You're all I have
Chorus:
At night when the stars
light up my room
I sit by myself
Talking to the Moon
Try to get to You
In hopes you're on
the other side
Talking to me too
Or am I a fool
who sits alone
Talking to the moon
I'm feeling like I'm famous
The talk of the town
They say
I've gone mad
Yeah
I've gone mad
But they don't know
what I know
Cause when the
sun goes down
someone's talking back
Yeah
They're talking back
Chorus:
At night when the stars
light up my room
I sit by myself
Talking to the Moon
Try to get to You
In hopes you're on
the other side
Talking to me too
Or am I a fool
who sits alone
Talking to the moon
Ahh Ahh,
Ahh Ahh,
Do you ever hear me calling?
Cause every night
I'm talking to the moon
Still trying to get to you
In hopes you're on
the other side
Talking to me too
Or am I a fool
who sits alone
Talking to the moon
I know you're somewhere out there
Somewhere far away
ALL SHE KNOWS
Once again you're home alone
Tears running from your eyes
And I'm on the outside
Knowing that you're all I want
But I can't do anything
I'm so helpless baby
Everyday same old things
So used to feelin pain
Never had real love before
And it ain't her fault
She knows better but
She can't help it
Wanna tell her
But would that be selfish
How do you heal
A heart that can't feel, it's broken
His love is all she knows, all she knows, all she knows
His love is all she knows, all she knows, all she knows
You've been livin this way so long
You don't know the difference
And it's killing me
Cause you can have so much more
I'm the one your looking for
But you close your eyes on me
So you still can't see
Everyday same old things
So used to feelin pain
Never had real love before
And it ain't her fault
She knows better but
She can't help it
Wanna tell her
But would that be selfish
How do you heal
A heart that can't feel, it's broken
His love is all she knows, all she knows, all she knows
His love is all she knows, all she knows, all she knows
All she knows is the pain
In the corner of an empty home
She's still comfortable
I want her to know
It can be better than this
I can't pretend
Wish we were more than friends
She knows better but
She can't help it
Wanna tell her
But would that be selfish
How do you heal
A heart that can't feel, it's broken
His love is all she knows, all she knows, all she knows
His love is all she knows, all she knows, all she knows
ENJOY SINGING ALONG WITH THE ALBUM! I really love Bruno Mars!
