"True North," a spectacular animated film by thedirector of fourth-generation Koreans in Japan based on interviews with North Korean defectors, reminds us that we live in the same world as "the reality that is too horrifying". In the face of the lowest and worst despair, how cruel and brutal can humans become, and how can they demonstrate kindness?

"The Martian" is an amazing movie that depicts the survival and rescue of a man who was left behind on Mars alone, using realistic scientific technology. It is a drama that is beyond imagination, where ideas and courage make the impossible possible, and people believe in themselves and others, and make the decision to take a more difficult path in extreme situations.

The extreme environment created by "leader to hunt down" may have the potential to bring out talent, but is such an environment really necessary? From the movie "Whiplash," which depicts a fierce "instruction" at a top music school, imagine the "victims" behind what enriches our lives.

The American Bobby Fischer was a chess player who was called a "once-in-500-years genius" and gained worldwide fame. The book "Endgame" depicts his life and tells the story of a legendary match that is still talked about today, as well as the turmoil of the Cold War era.

The movie "Room" was inspired by a shocking real event. It's fiction, but it has the power to make the audience feel like they might be in the same situation. It helps suffering people who are trapped by the feeling of "normalcy" and "obvious" to realize "what they should realize."

I haven't really watched many Godzilla movies or SFX films, but I saw "Shin Godzilla" just because it was directed by Anno Hideaki, and it was incredibly interesting. It portrayed everything besides the existence of Godzilla with overwhelming realism. The sense of reality of "What if Godzilla really appeared?" is tremendous.
