Three unrivaled and naturalistic indie films, directed by Chloé Zhao. I'm a new fan of this promising director. Hope she will bring home the two top awards, Best Director and Best Picture for her third feature film, "Nomadland." — "Most nonprofessional actors aren’t going to go on to be actors. Their career isn’t going to be benefiting from this. You sleep better if you give them support that way." - Chloé Zhao — #Oscars2021 #IndieFilmsRock #TheAsianPride https://www.instagram.com/p/CODLKzTHqrRxWrKjuOAsJyunGklrBEwSFrvID80/?igshid=l3r188q0120

"In 'Parasite,' there are no good or bad people; heroes or villains. There are people represented by archetypal characters trapped in the cruelty of the savage capitalist system that we are all in and that is eroding and swallowing humanity. As Witold Gombrowicz put it, if you want to know what human morality is all about, take food away from people for three days." - Alejandro González Iñárritu — "Parasite" Bong Joon-ho : Director South Korea Palme d'Or Award (Highest Award) 2019 Cannes Film Festival 92nd Academy Awards (2020) Nominations : 1. Best Picture 2. Best Director 3. Best International Feature Film 4. Best Original Screenplay 5. Best Production Design 6. Best Film Editing — Hoping for a sweep on Monday, February 10 (2020 Oscars).

Cannes Film Festival 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 Through The Years Since 2016 Palme d'Or Award (Highest Award) — 2016 : I, Daniel Blake : UK 2017 : The Square : Sweden 2018 : Shoplifters : Japan 2019 : Parasite : South Korea — As I have observed, poverty has been the theme of the festival top award winners (Palme d’Or Award) since 2016. Of all the recent 4 winners, "The Square” is my hands down personal favourite, as it tackled "The Serious 3M Social Disease of Humanity : “ • Massive Poverty • Morality and Conscience • More Suffering (Social Inequality) I also noticed the pattern, all 4 top awardees were based in 4 different First World countries. Conceivably, we could apply this significant saying by Confucius : "In a country well governed, poverty is something to be ashamed of. In a country badly governed, wealth is something to be ashamed of.” - Confucius — Perhaps, Asia is finally gaining momentum in the worldwide entertainment industry beginning with “Shoplifters,” then “Crazy Rich Asians,” then “Parasite,” and finally the ever-evolving K-Pop Industry. Even our very own Brillante Mendoza and Jacklyn Jose, former Best Director and Best Actress winners respectively at Cannes, were widely recognized and well-respected. I guess that’s the clear reason why Netflix is heavily investing on Asian movies and TV series, particularly Korean titles. — Photos : CTTO — #TheAsianPride https://www.instagram.com/p/B1BQw6lnUYMfDnNs6rVQUmzzmtaU1kLiXWo17Q0/?igshid=gxbg4hexah0z
