it absolutely has to be..Back to the future!
There are so many things in korea that remind me of that film!
to my mind the average korean ajosshi is a bit like "Bif" who drags his supposed girlfriend into the car kicking and screaming.
then theres the scene where Michael j fox plays some 60's tunes to a stunned audience at the school disco. They stare on, emotionless, just like a korean crowd watching a concert.
Theres the whole macho 50's thing happening; bigger flashier cars to impress, and a people misbehaving in an innocent sort of way (ie no pot or drugs on the scene yet).
I suppose you could say "i guess you're just not ready for that yet".  |

He looks like one of the wacky waeguk teachers I used to know here. the difference is, he actually made it back home to the USA and 2006.

| Korea reminds me of Requiem for a Dream, because this is the place where wings take dream and the bbongjjak soothes us incessantly. |

Shrek is a lovably disgusting ogre (ESL teacher in Korean eyes), who lives alone in a swamp he calls home, in a rotting tree stump, covered with moss (as many ESLers discover). He is mean, he is nasty, and he is alone (moral tale of how freaky foreigners are made; or, again, how Koreans see us sometimes).
In a nearby town, in a massive castle, Lord Farquad � a man who may be compensating for something with the insane size of his keep (your typical ajjosi, overextended businessman) � desperately seeks a princess to be his bride (princess diseased). Unfortunately, he requires a brave, strong knight to find and rescue the one he has chosen, from the highest tower of a dragon-infested castle surrounded by a lake of boiling molten lava�(needs waygook to save his business, so that he could afford his girl)
Let�s not forget Donkey, likeable yet the most incredibly aggravating talking donkey in the universe to date (Koreans wanting to practice their English). |

Due to the recent weather: Withnail and I.
Trapped in a dank apartment, heavy rainfall, booze, and only witty dialogue to keep me sane. |

I follow you, but the movie to which you refer is definitely the Toxic Avenger, Part II.
