Hong 2023 First Draft

Complete first draft for In Review Online's best of 2023 feature.

I've written before for Reverse Shot about the peculiar phenomenon of comparing and contrasting films written and directed by Hong Sang-soo that comes as a result of them being released in the same year. This is rendered even stranger when two films from adjoining premiere years come out during the same release year, which has happened three times thus far: the annus mirabilis of 2012 with Oki's Movie (2010), The Day He Arrives (2011), and In Another Country (2012); last year with 2022's The Novelist's Film joining 2021 premieres Introduction and In Front of Your Face; and now this year with the two films in present conversation. So, while it may be purely due to the vagaries of distribution (courtesy of the heroes at Cinema Guild) that we have an outlet to consider Walk Up (2022) and in water (2023) in the same year-end breath, it provides a useful excuse to look at these two very different grand achievements, Hong's 28th and 29th films respectively. Upon casting a very preliminary glance, and stripping these already spare works purely down to their essence, they belong to separate modes of Hong: Walk Up the sober black-and-white rumination on middle-age a la The Day After or Hotel by the River; in water the young filmmaker-centric metafiction about the artistic process of Oki's Movie or Our Sunhi. But on further examination neither align strictly with either paradigm, and in fact each attach a new means of expression to Hong's arsenal as vivid as Hill of Freedom's jumbled chronology or The Day He Arrives's perpetual chronological quasi-resets. In Walk Up's case, it is a literalization of Hong's penchant for narrative structure, with said four-part construction corresponding to the four floors of the eponymous apartment building. Kwon Hae-hyo, in perhaps his finest role of his ongoing collaboration with Hong, gradually drifts skyward as what may be months, years, or no time at all pass him by, and the cozy spaces gradually absorb and exude the anxieties over a wasted life that implicitly hang over so many past Hong protagonists. But the constriction in location here magnifies the feeling of each space being haunted with its unique ghosts/alternate realities, and the sense that your past or future life (for better or worse) may be right in front of your face. in water's gambit is both just as simple and visually entrancing as it sounds and more considered than meets than the eye. For one, the out-of-focus shots are not uniform in their look (two interior shots near the start are even in-focus); for another, the perspective they suggest—that of Hong himself, with his well-known failing eyesight—is layered onto that of a young filmmaker just starting out yet possessed with the same ruminations on mortality as Kwon in the past film. Hong certainly isn't lacking for great endings, but what may bind these two films as closely as any commonality is the finesse with which their final shots suddenly snap each of their associated works into startling, devastating focus.

Godzilla Minus One First Draft

Complete first draft for The Film Stage.

For much of Takashi Yamazaki's Godzilla Minus One, the 33rd Toho Studios film in the beloved kaiju franchise, the iconic monster exists as an abstraction. After a brief, brutal rampage at the beginning of the film, he is kept off-screen, a shadow in the mind of our hero Koichi Shikishima (Ryunosuke Kamiki). To a certain extent, this entirely symbolic usage is nothing new: the deeply ingrained allegory for nuclear annihilation that Ishiro Honda's 1954 original presented has persisted, and often been adapted to fit the times: the most recent Japanese live-action predecessor, Hideaki Anno and Shinji Higuchi's ferociously incisive Shin Godzilla, tackled the tangled bureaucracy ill-equipped to deal with the Fukushima disaster head-on. But Yamazaki moves back before the source: the prologue begins at the end of World War II, on an island mostly inhabited by plane technicians, where Koichi, a would-be kamikaze pilot, touches down after claiming to have technical issues. That night, a smaller but still fearsome incarnation of Godzilla attacks the encampment, and Koichi is frozen by fear, unable to pull the trigger on his plane turret, and the resulting devastation kills almost everybody else. After he returns to a firebombed Tokyo, he forms an ad hoc family with a homeless woman, Noriko (Minami Hamabe), and an orphaned baby, then takes a job aboard a small minesweeper clearing the detritus of war. This humble existence is threatened when Godzilla, mutated and greatly enlarged by American nuclear testing, emerges once again. The weighting of information in the previous paragraph is intentional: Godzilla Minus One, despite its curious title, is effectively first and foremost a rather small-scale drama, spending much of its screentime with Koichi, his found family, and the motley minesweeper crew. Often located in the cramped interiors of Koichi's childhood home, it is locked into his mindset, doubly tormented by both the knowledge of his survival when so many others lived and his inability to take action, whether at the cost of his own life or not. Duty and honor as instilled by culture and society inevitably tie into this struggle, and it is given a potential, perverse outlet with the rise of a new enemy, as destructive as the conquerors who inadvertently reawakened it. The scenes of actual devastation are concentrated largely into sea battles (the first acts as a very tense Jaws homage) and a single land-based attack on the luxury district of Ginza, which does achieve the horrific level of carnage expected from any self-respecting monster movie. But these stand shoulder-to-shoulder with what emerges as a men-on-a-mission climax, an effort on the part of ex-Navy civilians, led by Koichi and his minesweeper crew, to kill Godzilla. Such shifts in scale—from grand calamity to intense revelations, from personal trauma to collective resolve—distinguish Godzilla Minus One. It is unabashedly sentimental, even risking a certain ideological simplicity in its groundswell of former troops fighting a new, potentially more worthy conflict on their own terms. But its journey towards its destination is hard-fought, willing to stay in the quiet anguish for uncomfortable lengths of time, so that the ultimate release is all the sweeter.
