Oscar Winners for 'Parasite' Full Backstage Speech | THR 

woah um that escalated quickly

She really is a selfless queen!

What the translator, Sharon is appreciated, is not only because she has great sense of translation, but because she has deep movie knowledge as filmmaker herself.

That was a great question to end on. I didn't know she was a filmmaker too. How awesome for her to get to experience the press/festivals/award season for Parasite! I hope she is able to produce her own film one day.

As a translator, it makes me happy when interpreters get some recognition. When we do our job right, people ignore us XD But interpreters in particular like her, who do on-the-spot real-time verbal translations, have very stressful and difficult jobs. It's a testament to her skill that she makes it look so easy.

@@alexperaza9475 Agreed. That's another reason it's so great that she's been with the Parasite team throughout the season. The better she knows the team, the better she can interpret for them.

@@alexperaza9475 I think the difficulty of translating is that a good translator makes the translation so seemless that its like they are not there. Its hard to get recognition when your job is to the silent middleman.

HAHAHAHA

This comment. 😂😂😂

Hahahaha I nearly spat out my drink

hahahaha. you deserve an OSCAR!

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I've been in love with her since the Golden Globes.

Actually she’s not translator, she is student of be a director.

whats her name?

can you just be happy for everyone and stop with this hating bullshit!! what a mess in the head

you must be kidding, South Korea industry is not as pure as you think. Please just be happy for everyone and stop spreading hate! you make absolutely no sense

And she does both so well. What a girl!

They appreciate your congratulations you fucking nobody

Abu Bu And the Oscar for Most Douche Bag comment goes to...

@@mensrea1251 yes

I loved Joker too, but This movie was such an experience... One of the Best ive ever seen. It just blew everyones mind in the theather I was at.

True. Its soo well made and acted that subtitles hardly impact the flow

He has made so many films. All very well loved. I'm sure they will watch Parasite and more

Same thing with my dad and I, but yeah glad it’s got such high recognition now, even though there were probably a couple other movies that could of beaten it in best film. But none the less it’s still a great piece of film

That's the Hollywood stigma. Maybe the flood gates will open

And the translator is a filmmaker...Bong Joon-Ho is interested in her script...I do hope he produces her movie...

Absolutely!

computerboy2k ooo what’s the backstory on this??

V AP sgree

I'm guessing SBS had a part to play

@@Ccirgrg sure years ago, but I normally just seek out good movies from around the world

You’re so right! It’s like Hollywood is incapable of learning the lesson ‘audiences love unique, interesting stories’. They only notice the flashy bits (Tarantino’s dialogue, and non linear storyline for example) and copy it relentlessly.

Yes, I Agree. Because I think most foreign film producers/ directors aren't bound by big companies who limits their creativity and imagination. Also they tend to rush movies just so they could make money or be popular.

hahaha his accent and voice

Roma wasnt on the same level though, it was really boring

Roma and Cold War were really good, they definitely should've both gotten Oscars.

Looking forward to her filmmaking career. Under Bong's guidance, I'm hope she will excel.

Deb Allen love this!!!!

I'm still amazed theyre letting it slide all this time

1. Kim Ki-young 2. Imamura Shohei 3. Kiyoshi Kurosawa 4. Hou Hsiao-Hsien 5. Edward Yang

Wow thank you!

맥스잉글리쉬 I think he’s saying “Walter Mitty Moment”, from the book/movie “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty”!

Definitely subtitled.

Best International Film Oscar only goes to the country, not director. Weird right

@@johnsmisek02 oh that....but did he got to kept d trophy or have to submit it to the government?

Vicky 12 Not funny👎🙄

@@amy_yoshikawa Maybe cause I wasn't trying to be, I'm actually sking! Nobody knows the man's gonna win again and again over the course of the evening, right, so they can't just say, let's ask him all together at the end later! Or does he only do one Q&A in the press room after the first win and that's the first and last (besides the best picture - Q&A at the end, with every cast and crew member involved)?

Stuff gets lost in translation and I'm sure the excitement is making it difficult to put together proper thoughtful answers, but I think the implication was that in the past, he lived vicariously through Hollywood directors but never imagined winning himself.

In truth this was a stupid question, shows how western-centric and how non Asian this reporter was! He didn’t research the life of the director or the country he lived in! Bong Joon-ho was born in 1969, and South Korean in the 70s and 80s was a country under dictatorship and martial law! It was a time of oppression and suppression! It wasn’t like life in the US or “White” society! I don’t think as a boy living in those times he was thinking of winning an Oscar! Now as a young man going to University studying film watching Scorsese these were the times he may have started dreaming of such things! South Korean in the late 80s and early 90s was moving to a more prodemocracy society, Westernized culture like Film, Tv, Music, Lifestyle was making more of an influence! So bottom line when a kid he didn’t dream of Oscars but as a young man he did!

He didnt even said glad? Where tf u read that? Lol im not korean but i understand it a lil bit.

Qishi Li He probably knows a few phrases and it’s very broken. If you look at there breakdown of a scene on some clip on youtube, he speaks english the entire time but it’s very hard to follow at times

Qishi Li Relax, he just know VERY few words but not all. Still he is trying his best and that's very sweet of him.

Just because you're fluent doesn't mean you're completely comfortable in that language, especially in a high stress situation like unexpectedly winning an Oscar.
