Day 2329 | Movie #35 The Host (2006)

I started a challenge of taking 100 days off to mainly focus on my health and overall personal development and used this account as a personal blog to keep track of all my activity. I enjoyed it and continued afterward trying to build better habits and find a good balance between health, fitness, work, entertainment, and my personal life...

Movie #35 The Host (7.0/10)

I very much like Asian culture and movies and 3 of the better movies I watched so far this year were Past Lives, Perfect Days, & Monster. So I was looking forward the Watch 'The Host' which is also called "Gwoemul" in Korean. I came across it and saw it had a 7.1/10 as a Monster horror movie at quite some votes. I already saw in some picture that the CGI of the monster was pretty bad and knowing that in advance helped to look passed that.

The story starts out pretty uninspired with some sientists duping chemicals in a sink which years later causes a big monster to then come out of a river. The main story is more about family as a young father sees his daughter being taken by the moster which after they thought was dead learned by a phone call that she is still alive followed by a search for her. It certainly is more than just a monster movie as there are multiple storylines and a lot of the theme of the movie is about empathy I would say.

I learned just now that the movie was directed by Bong Joon Ho who also directed Parasite and Snowpiercer which I highly enjoyed. So I now have some more movies on my list to watch in Memories of Murder (2003), Mother (2009), Okja (2017)

So while I can't say I was overly blown away by this one also because of evening farigue watching it in 2 Pieces, I did appreciate for what it was still scoring it a 7/10

Aside from watching a movie in the evening, I was quite active with an hour of tennis from 12:00 to 13:00 and an evening 90-Minute Hot Yoga Class all while keeping my eating within limits. I also once again managed to do my press exercises.

I really hate Spanish of French dubbed movies, so I watch in the original language too, but the difference is that I understand the original version...
I would not now if I'd like to watch an Asian movie in the original language... !INDEED !LOLZ

The one thing when watching movies in an other language is that you really need to be mentally clearer so doing it late before getting to bed usually is a challenge. I remember watching Squid Game Dubbed (in english) and I kind of regretted it as there is something off about it but I still liked the series.
