The Park house — architecture as power
→ Citizen Kane (1941)
The Park family home is a Citizen Kane space: the owner's wealth expressed entirely in vertical movement, light and enclosed geometry. Bong Joon-ho uses architecture to literalise class.

The stone and the family — loyalty as suffocation
→ The Godfather (1972)
The scholar's stone is Bong's Rosebud: an object that concentrates the film's entire thematic weight. Like the Godfather's olive branch, it promises protection and delivers something heavier.
