DON’T you swear at me, you little shit! Don’t you EVER raise your voice at me! I am your mother! You understand? All I do is worry and slave and defend you, and all I get back is that fucking face on your face! So full of disdain and resentment and always so annoyed! Well, now your sister is dead! And I know you miss her and I know it was an accident and I know you’re in pain and I wish could take that away for you. I WISH I could shield you from the knowledge that you did what you did, but your sister is dead! She’s gone forever! And what a waste… if it could’ve maybe brought us together, or something, if you could’ve just said “I’m sorry” or faced up to what happened, maybe then we could do something with this, but you can’t take responsibility for anything! So, now I can’t accept. And I can’t forgive. Because… because NOBODY admits anything they’ve done!

Academy Award Winners for Best Cinematography:
2020 — Roger Deakins, BSC, ASC
1917 (2019)
Directed by Sam Mendes
Aspect Ratio: 2.39 : 1

1917 is made with a series of long shots, the longest of which was about 8½ minutes, stitched together. Sam Mendes, who worked with Deakins on 2005’s Jarhead, 2008’s Revolutionary Road and 2012’s Skyfall, says that shots averaged 20 takes, with the most difficult needing as many as 50. The experience of working with such meticulous choreography was “exhilarating,” Deakins says. “Everyone’s high-fiving. All the grips I’ve known for, like, 30 years, saying, ‘Oh, my word, that was something. I’ve never done that before.’ It was really great.”

One tricky sequence featured the pair crossing No Man’s Land, which Mendes says involved “constantly changing the actors’ relationship to the camera so you weren’t simply following them from behind.“ 

Explains Deakins: “When we got on No Man’s Land, it was like, ‘OK, well, how do we work with the actors and choreograph the camera movement with the actors so you see details, and then you go from one character’s close-up to another character?’ And then you see them wide, and then you see what they’re looking at. That was really interesting. That informed a lot about what we were going to do with the rest of the film — how we could free the camera at moments where we needed to.”

“We spoke early on about not wanting an audience to think about, ‘Oh, that’s interesting, look where they put the camera.’ So the camera doesn’t do anything showy. The goal was to make sure that the camera followed the action but didn’t draw attention to itself. You just wanted it to disappear in the image, and for the most part, I think that’s quite successful,” Deakins says. — [x]

Ki-jung – the facts are she’s the baby in the family, and she does sometimes come off as the most adventurous and progressive, but also very realistic out of the four Kim family members.  But in reality, she’s very saddening, sometimes, and very heart-aching, because the amount of tests and exams, and the cuts that she didn’t make. 
She seems like someone who’d never complain about it: Her only outlet was the little pouch that she hid on top of the toilet, with the cigarette case and the money.  But she is definitely someone who would never talk to other people about her problems, and in that sense that’s why it was heartbreaking, because she felt that her only outlet was that cigarette box and nothing else.   
But when Ki-jung starts going to the rich house, and takes on the role of Jessica, it was very cathartic as someone who was playing that role, because she was finally able to utilise every single skill that she had, and finally was able to use the tools that she’s been wanting to, but was never given the platform to do so.
