“The King’s Affection” unites all categories for Best Foreign Film, and should be nominated for an academy award in that category by the Screen Actor’s Guild in 2021. Have your Pick: Screenwriter, Cinematography, Costume Design, Direction, Best Actors; hands-down, this film demonstrates the height of South Korean acting and filmmaking. In first place, very distant ahead of second.
If anyone that is reading these words, and has anything to do with the United States Academy Awards, please listen to reason, and not international boundaries; the South Korean people deserve to be recognized for this kind of filmmaking wonder. As a theater and film lover, I am very happy to have had the opportunity to behold and enjoy these young South Korean film artists demonstrate their exemplary talent. I am delighted with “The King’s Affection,” very affectionately.
