The Host was not a very good film. I have never been interested in Scifi sort of phenomenas. This film was basically about a family who goes out in search of a missing family member of their own. However, they are battling against a sea monster who has been running around South Korea killing people and bringing them to its 'home'. If you are someone who is interested in cheesy, weird Asian films than this is the movie for you.
Culturally The Host showed a lot of South Korea that you wouldn't see unless you have been there yourself or watch foreign films. You are able to get a sense of how they live, what they eat, and what their city life is like. They live very similar lives to that of an American but like most cultures they follow certain customs that some of us may find out of the ordinary.
Like I had stated earlier life in South Korea is much like that of an American. This film shows people going to work on what you assume is a usual 9 to 5 shift. It shows people walking around in park and simply enjoying life until, of course, the giant sea monster attacks. In the movie the cause of this sea monster is due to pollution in the city's river. Perhaps this film suggests that in South Korea pollution is a reoccurring issue in their country and made this film to sort of 'poke fun,' if you will. There are many people who live in this country so I could only assume that pollution is an issue. In this film you are also showed the city and how many people relay on public transportation, like that of New York City. There are high rise towers everywhere and many people running around in a rush with somewhere to go. Even though this movie was awful, you were able to get a sense of what their way of life, what they like to eat, etc.

I would not watch this movie again. Like I had stated before the acting was mediocre and the plot was awful. I would not recommend viewing this film unless you enjoy w
atching films that consist of a sea monster attacking South Korean people for about two hours.
