This page is for the 2006 South Korean film. You may be looking for the 2013 film adaptation of the Stephenie Meyer book, or the 2020 horror film Host.The Host (or Gwoemul,note Korean for “monster� as it's known in its home country) is a 2006 South Korean film co-written and directed by Bong Joon-ho.After an American military pathologist stationed in Korea orders his associate to dump 200 bottles of formaldehyde down the drain, sightings of a strange amphibious creature in the Han River emerge years later, with fish in the river mysteriously dying off.It's now the year 2006; a man by the name of Park Gang-du (Song Kang-ho) owns a local snack kiosk with his father, Hee-bong, with the rest of their family living together. While working, the previously-thought-to-be-myth creature suddenly makes landfall and starts attacking locals, attempting to feed on anything that gets in its path before disappearing back into the river's depths, but not before eating some of its victims and taking Gang-du's daughter, Hyun-seo, with it.Afterwards, the government and the United States military quickly arrive and announce that the creature has been subjected to an unknown virus, and soon quarantines the population that made contact with the creature, including Gang-du and his family, whom tried to fend off the creature during its rampage.Bong began work on the film's story in 2000; its inciting incident (an American ordering his Korean employees to dispose of formaldehyde which wound up in the Han River) was inspired by a real-life scandal. As is the case with his other works, the film combines aspects of multiple genres with consistent Black Comedy elements, and can thusly be described best as a political satire crossed with a family dramedy in the dressings of a kaiju movie. | |

| The Host (2006) / int_122e956a | comment |
One Bullet Left: Subverted. Hee-bong takes a gun from Gang-du to kill the monster, with Gang-du telling him that it has one bullet left. When Hee-bong goes to fire, all he hears is an empty click, at which point we cut to Gang-du counting on his fingers and realizing the mistake he's made as Hee-bong is killed. | |

Make Sure He's Dead | |
| The Host (2006) / int_16dd0b72 | comment |
When Hee-bong shoots the monster, it falls over onto its back and stops moving; he and his sons go to get a closer look, but Nam-il shoots at it again to make sure it's dead, at which point the monster immediately gets up and attempts to flee. | |

Bilingual Backfire: The American doctor explains in English to the Korean translator that the virus the monster was carrying wasn't real. Unfortunately for them, Gang-du understands a couple of the basic English words and realises what's been going on. In a deleted scene, the doctor and the translator realize their mistake and continue in German. | |

Say My Name | |
| The Host (2006) / int_1a3a91dd | comment |
Say My Name: A small portion of Gang-du's lines are just "HYUN-SEO!" Particularly notable is when he howls her name several times after finding her jacket in the creature's lair, and she's nowhere to be found. Nam-joo and Nam-il also both call her name at the gymnasium scene. White's girlfriend repeatedly shrieks, "DONALD!" while he and Gang-du are fighting the Kaiju. | |

Papa Wolf: Gang-du spends most of the film's runtime fighting his way to rescue his daughter Hyun-seo, although sadly his daughter is dead by the time he does. Hee-bong flips out spectacularly when Gang-du, his firstborn son, jumps into the river to go after the monster, and later tries to protect Gang-du when he is pulled away from him by men in decontamination suits and zipped up in a bag. | |

Chekhov's Gag | |
| The Host (2006) / int_22cf50f9 | comment |
Chekhov's Gag: When first encountering the creature, Gang-du throws a soda can at it to lure it out. It eats it, and the whole crowd joins in and starts throwing food. An hour or so laternote in real time, the creature is seen regurgitating dozens of human bodies and skeletons it's been eating. The last item to fall out is Gang-du's soda can. | |

Chekhov's Gun: Nam-joo's archery skills. During the final battle, she successfully shoots a flaming arrow right into the eye of the gasoline-drenched monster, setting it ablaze. Gang-du's signpost. In the end, he breaks apart both ends and turns it into a makeshift spear, then uses it to deliver the killing blow to the monster. Hee-bong pays off Director Cho with all the money Gang-du had been saving up to buy Hyun-seo a new phone. | |

Anticlimax: Just when Nam-il is dramatically winding up to throw his last Molotov at the monster, it ends up slipping from his hand and breaking on the ground right before he can throw it. Pleasantly averted a few seconds later when Nam-joo shows up, though. | |

Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: The American doctor operating on Gang-du seems empathetic, but as Gang-du begins to protest and explain that no one ever listens him, the doctor caresses his patient's face, but instead of drying the man's tears and telling him that the situation is in safe hands, he proceeds to tell his interpreter that the virus has spread, even though he knows that there's no virus. | |

Parental Abandonment: Hyun-seo's mother left after she was born, and she spends most of the movie trying to reunite with her father. Gang-du himself is also a victim of this: his mother has been gone since his childhood, and his father (though now very sorry) didn't take very good care of him. | |

Butt-Monkey: Poor Gang-du never catches a break throughout the movie. He's never been allowed to do anything useful with his life because he's not particularly bright and unceremoniously dozes off every so often, his wife left him, his siblings don't respect him, his daughter is abducted by a monster, and nobody believes him when he realizes she's still alive, he's targeted for carrying a virus which turns out not to be real, he's had tissue samples taken from him and a needle rammed into his head, and when you think things don't get any worse for him, his father and his daughter are killed by the monster on separate occasions. | |

Gory Discretion Shot: When the monster goes to eat Hyun-seo and Se-joo, it cuts to black while Hyun-seo's scream echoes. During the initial rampage, quite a few people try to hide in a large trailer. The monster then busts into the trailer. All you see are bloody arms scrabbling at the locked door at the other end, and blood seeping through the floor of the trailer. | |

White-and-Grey Morality | |
| The Host (2006) / int_58962105 | comment |
White-and-Grey Morality: The Park family, though a Dysfunctional Family, is ultimately a loving one, and Gang-du himself is sweet if irresponsible. The creature they're battling is nothing more than a mutated tadpole with simple motivations of food and shelter, although sometimes it plays dirty with catching its prey. | |

Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling | |
| The Host (2006) / int_598513bb | comment |
Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: Gang-du and his younger sister Nam-joo. Nam-joo is a high-achieving archer, while Gang-du isn't even smart or ambitious enough to do more than work at his father's snack stand. Nam-il isn't much better off than Gang-du, being an alcoholic and former political protester, but even he looks down on Gang-du. | |

Nam-il drops himself off of a highway bridge to escape, hurts himself on the riverbank below, gives a last-ditch text to Nam-joo and passes out. However, he's not dead. | |

Eagleland | |
| The Host (2006) / int_7a265daa | comment |
Eagleland: The film's portrayal of America is ultimately ambivalent: while the government is satirized rather viciously and there are one or two evil ones, an American soldier bravely gives his life trying to save a few people from the monster. Word of God says: "It's a stretch to simplify The Host as an anti-American film, but there is certainly a metaphor and political commentary about the U.S." This is probably why North Korea permitted the release of the movie and had good press about it. The sequel is apparently going to target the People's Republic of China, who deny the creature's existence. | |

Mass "Oh, Crap!" | |
| The Host (2006) / int_97fa0a10 | comment |
Mass "Oh, Crap!": Early on, a crowd of people, including Gang-du, are chatting at the riverside about the monster. Amidst the chatting crowd, Gang-du suddenly gets a look at something offscreen. Shortly thereafter, we the audience see it, too — the creature galloping right at them. Cue the screaming and the running (not that it does anybody any good). | |

Took a Level in Badass: Gang-du starts attacking the monster with a sign when it first charges out of the water, and he goes into Action Dad territory whenever he gets a chance to try and save his daughter. It is implied that the brain surgery he is forced into partway through the movie accidentally fixes whatever was wrong with him, making him much more capable. Hyun-seo becomes braver and more resourceful as the movie goes on. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| The Host (2006) / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: Early in the film, Hyun-seo complains about her outdated phone. It seems amusing at first, but then later she tries calling Gang-du and her phone is almost out of battery. While in quarantine, Gang-du is told that he shouldn't eat anything until the next morning because he's been affected with the virus. Late that night, he gets hungry and eats some tinned seafood, and nothing happens. This is a hint towards the fact that the virus is a lie. In Gang-du's first scene, he wakes with a start thinking he heard Hyun-seo calling him, but in fact he heard a different girl calling to her own father. This foreshadows a moment a little later in the film when Gang-du, trying to drag Hyun-seo away from the monster, trips over his own feet and falls flat on the ground, and when he gets up, he accidentally grabs another little girl's hand. Hee-bong mentions that Gang-du has something wrong with his brain that causes his Manchild behavior. After his brain surgery, he's much more capable. | |

Oh, Crap!: Gang-du has this reaction several times. He has one a little sooner than the crowd he's with when he sees the monster barreling straight at them. He has it again shortly after when he realizes that Hyun-seo is entirely alone out in the open, and the monster is galloping right at her. Later, he realizes he's in trouble in the middle of admitting that he got some of the monster's blood sprayed on his face. | |

Jump Scare: A few noteworthy examples. When a hazmat worker finds money near the bridge, he turns around and suddenly comes face-to-face with the beast, who swings into view to kill him and his co-worker. Hyun-seo and See-joo hide in a hole as they hear the monster enters its lair. When things go quiet, Hyun-seo takes a peek to see if the coast is clear... only to be greeted by the monster's roaring face right next to her. Finally, the monster's roar can be heard at the end of the credits. Just when you thought you were safe! | |

America Saves the Day: Subverted and deconstructed. The authorities deliberately prevent any Koreans from doing anything against the creature — the South Korean forces are called off in their hunt for it — so they can have all the glory. In the final battle, the American army arrives with Agent Yellow, a toxic chemical that causes severe illness to almost anyone coming in contact with it, but it doesn't manage to kill the creature, and the ones who save the day are a working class Korean Dysfunctional Family. | |

Toxic Waste Can Do Anything | |
| The Host (2006) / int_c9687735 | comment |
Toxic Waste Can Do Anything: The movie uses this twice. First, a specific chemical, formaldehyde (known to being a carcinogen), creates a rhino-sized fish/running monster that can move incredibly fast and shrugs off bullets. Secondly, the US government tries to kill it with ANOTHER toxic chemical, Agent Yellow (which is probably a reference to Agent Orange [1]). It WORKS...a little. It doesn't mutate the creature into a stronger form and it clearly doesn't like it, but it doesn't kill it or render it much less dangerous, forcing the main characters to Kill It with Fire and add some impaling on top of that. | |

Playing Possum: When Hee-bong shoots the monster, it falls over onto its back and stops moving; he and his sons go to get a closer look, but Nam-il shoots at it again to make sure it's dead, at which point the monster immediately gets up and attempts to flee. Hyun-seo plays dead among the bodies in the monster's lair whenever it comes back to avoid being killed. Eventually, the monster realizes she's just faking and pretends to be asleep when she attempts to escape to lure her out where it can get her. | |

Sympathy for the Devil | |
| The Host (2006) / int_d3a4af1e | comment |
Sympathy for the Devil: Gang-du has a brief, subtle moment of unspoken pity for the monster as he kills it, as though he didn't like doing it, but he had to because it killed his father and his daughter. | |

Manchild: Gang-du is sensitive, immature and impulsive. The US surgeon operating on him even gives him a patronising pat on the head after trying to find out what's wrong with him and then choosing not to listen to anything. | |

Jerkass: The American military pathologist who has the formaldehyde dumped into the river, creating the monster, because the bottles were dusty, and the reason he wants them to be dumped into the river in spite of his Korean assistant’s protests is that “The river is broad. Let’s try to be broad minded about this.� and “because I said so.� | |

Early-Bird Cameo | |
| The Host (2006) / int_f0089082 | comment |
Early-Bird Cameo: Se-joo and Se-jin appear at the beginning. Se-joo tries to steal candy from the stand at the beginning, after Gang-du, who was currently tending it, had fallen asleep on the job yet again, but Se-jin stops him before Hee-bong comes along and drives them both away. | |

Artistic License – Physics | |
| The Host (2006) / int_fc225bec | comment |
Artistic License – Physics: If we forget about the problems a creature like that would have to even move outside of water in reality (that's the case of every monster movie, really), much less swinging around using its tail, still, how does a guy with a pole stop a massive, sprinting monster dead in its tracks? Alright, maybe it would have died anyways, but they should logically have both plunged into the water from the monster's momentum, or at least Gang-du would have been sent flying from the shock. In that case, Gang-du got inexplicably super-strong all of a sudden. Maybe it was the brain surgery. | |

Non-Malicious Monster | |
| The Host (2006) / int_fd1b902c | comment |
Non-Malicious Monster: The creature is basically just an animal that wants to find shelter and eat. Unfortunately for everyone involved, however, its shelter happens to be within a populated city along the Han River, and it eats people — a lot of people. | |

Mighty Whitey | |
| The Host (2006) / int_fed07537 | comment |
Mighty Whitey: An American soldier bravely steps up to help people escape the monster and tries to fight it off, getting mauled in the process. This was probably included to soften the anti-American message, although even when he saves Gang-du, he doesn't seem to push him out of the way on purpose. | |
