I have seen several versions of it in the movies which were easier to interpret than the novel.
Few months ago, I even saw a Korean version called The Burning on netflix!
- dondawest 6y agoThat movie was based on the Haruki Murakami short story “Barn Burning,” though it did reference Gatsby directly in the dialogue
- GizmoSwan 6y agoYes it did mention the Gatsby. The author was obviously interpreting the psycho-thriller angle by design. The privileged versus unprivileged; being trapped and unable to achieve the dream and living with unfulfilled desires...
- cercatrova 6y agoI watched Burning and Parasite as a duology, both have very similar themes about modern day Korea. I'd suggest you watch them back to back as well.
- GizmoSwan 6y agoGreat minds think alike! I have seen the Parasite too but few months before the other one. The Parasite has won an Oscar I think.
