Reaction To The Host

The Host is a Korean movie about a creature that has become mutated by a doctor dumping chemicals down the drain. This causes a fish to become a human eating creature. When it attacks the people near the river, it causes panic. While the main character runs away he accidentally grabs the wrong girl's hand. Allowing the monster to grab the little girl. We find out that the monster has placed all the people he has grabbed into a sewer. The girls cell phone still works and she is able to call her father who has been placed in a hospital with the rest of her family because of their contact with the monster. The family breaks out and attempts to save the girl. They end up finding where she is but it is too late she has already been eaten. But one boy who had also been living in the sewer with her lives and the one survivor from the family adopts him.
           The biggest cultural difference I saw in this movie was the food. They would eat octopus legs and other things that are not common in the United states. They ate a lot of different types of noddles. It seemed easy for them to make. They were packaged and then they would add water.
    Family was a very important part of this movie. The whole family was willing to risk their own safety to rescue the girl. Part of this too was that the girl was a daughter who was born out of wed-lock. The mother had left and the young father has raised the girl. This is also a struggle that families in the United States have. Luckily they were able to be a loving family that would do anything for each other.
      Overall this movie was interesting and something fun to watch. The differences and similarities in this movie that stood out the most to me were the different foods and the same struggles within families.
