That awkward moment between birth and death

it’s okay to cry. showing your emotions is not a sign of weakness. just another reminder that we’re human and that sometimes we feel things deeply. it takes strength to reveal your emotions to others.

as a statement, i never apologize for crying in public.

“like an art lover, running out of a burning museum, she would grab whatever she could - a look, a whisper, a moan - to salvage from perishing, to preserve. but time is the most unforgiving of fires and she couldn’t, in the end, save it all”

“you have been in every way all that anyone could be. if anyone could have saved me, it would have been you.”

steven yeun on “Burning”

While the film may be Yeun’s first major Korean production, he doesn’t view it as a “debut” per se. Rather, he sees it as him finally branching out from the “short-sighted” Hollywood roles he’s played since his career began in 2009. He doesn’t namecheck specific credits – he’s too much of a gent for that – but his past performances include lab assistant Kenny in science-fiction drama I Origins (2014), office worker Derek in action horror Mayhem (2017) and an animal rights activist, who is also a translator, in the South Korea-set Okja (2017). Yeun admits it’s been frustrating.

“It’s been like, ‘Here’s what an Asian person looks like to a majority white audience,’” he says. “But if you go to Korea, the characters are just humans because they’re not thinking about it like that. That’s something that I was made aware of [with Burning], which was really wonderful for me to know. I didn’t have to represent all Asians. I could just represent myself.”
