DIRECTORS STATEMENT

The films I want lớn watch, and make, always start with an exciting movie moment. A lone gunman walking the vast desert, cold winds blowing through the empty plains, a sudden fire flaring out from the end of a muzzle, etc. These scenes are all familiar clichés from the western, but they never cease lớn captivate me.

After finishing A BITTERSWEET LIFE, I traveled lớn the vast lands of the Manchurian region of the past. I stood watching the endless horizon, which made me think about the Korean people who made their way there before Korea was divided và cut off from the inland. Lớn the people who went to lớn Manchuria during the Japanese occupation period, this was a land of opportunity & hope.

THE GOOD, THE BAD, THE WEIRD is a story of three men who love their homeland but are forced out of their country lớn take refuge in the vast deserts và plains of Manchuria. Each desperately chases after his dream, be it driven by the promise of riches or by the need to lớn prove himself to lớn be the quickest gun in the land.

Although the title is THE GOOD, THE BAD, THE WEIRD I had no intention of having any one character wholly represent a certain trait. There is no one designated khổng lồ be just the good, just the bad, or just the weird. The three characters change according khổng lồ the situation. Enemies and friends constantly change. The three characters all have the elements of the good, the bad, & the weird.

In the 1930s, Manchuria was an arena of struggle among conflicting factions. Not only did many cultures clash, but it was a place of anarchy & chaos - a lawless world where strength và power ruled. Through the main characters’ stories & their pursuit of their dreams as promised by a mysterious map, I wanted khổng lồ bring lớn the audiences all over the world the fun & enjoyment of watching a new kind of western.

-KIM JEE-WOON

During the day, temperatures shot up lớn 40°C. With morning temperatures around 10°C, they faced temperature variations of around 30°C. The weather forecast was put to shame with desert winds & sudden heat waves coming and going, but the production continued on in the unpredictable, daunting environment.
