Biography

Kenroach once said that movies can not change the reality, but can be used to correct and expose social injustice. Director Hong Jishan is known as "kenroach of South Korea" by virtue of his political film choice. In 1992, he produced a long film "cutting safety with the knowledge of the crew from the heart", which truly reflects the working environment of the crew at sea. Soon after that, he began to brew a sensitive film "choice". The film will be based on real stories. He and the creators overcame many difficulties and spent several years tracking and interviewing "non turning to long-term prisoners", After mastering a lot of valuable first-hand information, the script was completed. However, when they want to invest in shooting, they encounter difficulties, because it is a sensitive political subject after all. Most businesses feel that the risk is too high and are unwilling to invest. In order to seek foreign investors, Hong Jishan took his script to the market of Busan International Film Festival in 1997, but failed. It wasn't until 2002 that Hong got the support from the South Korean Film Development Council that he managed to raise enough money to start shooting. In the end, his plain technique brought the film a sense of reality and magic appeal, and won the praise of the critics. Voltaire's famous saying "I don't agree with you, but if someone intimidates you because of your words, I will defend your right to speak to the death" was quoted at the opening of the film. The unbiased attitude won great respect for director Hong Jishan. However, the process of making the film itself is more profound than any result, from the creation of script to the development of the film In the end, it took Hong Jishan 11 years. In 2006, the South Korean "Human Rights Commission" planned the human rights culture film "the third sight" to prevent human rights violations. Hong Jishan maintained his calm and profound style and directed the sixth part of the short film "what can I do" which reflects the social inequality through the specific example of the differences between formal and informal employees.
