"When Bong Joon Ho descended from the airplane to step onto his home country's soil, he wore no mask, while all that surrounded him did. A news reporter kneeled to him, holding a microphone to illuminate his voice. Paparazzi crowded around him, but respectfully kept their distance. There was a fear within them, a fear of God that kept them from touching the master director.
He wore no mask, and thanked everyone for the warm welcome, empathized with the reporter's pain of having to kneel underneath him while holding a microphone. Bong Joon Ho was not afraid of the coronavirus. He created the ultimate Parasite.
He left South Korea a simple man trying to make his way in the universe. He returned a God.
But Bong Joon Ho had quite a bit of help along his path to Godhood. He studied from the masters, maestros across a myriad of genres, ethnicities, nationalities, and talents."
