"A miracle," said The South Korean movie critic, Ha-Sung of tea.

"I am overwhelmed. In tears," tweeted the Korean cinema expert Jason Bechervaise, who was watching The Oscars with his son.

Social Media went into meltdown at The Oscars , and this was only a snippet. Korean pride in this cinematic masterpiece that swept through my Twitter timeline.

And by the time, the parasites, the best Picture was named win her fourth Oscar, the votes in the whole country had reached a crescendo of wild-congratulatory joy.

Yes, this is historic. Bong Joon-ho ' s comedy-thriller is The First non-English language film to win the best Picture . But South Korea , these awards mean More Than that.

It is a cultural Breakthrough .

for a decade, This Country has money ploughed into the so-called Korean wave, or Hallyu, K-drama, K-pop and Korean cinema.

The awards of The Academy are proof that that cultural wave come crashing down on Hollywood.

but Director Bong Joon-ho does not believe that his influence is far from that of the K-pop idols BTS.

"I think BTS 3000 times The Power and influence that I have. I think that Korea produces a lot of great artists, because we are a very emotional people," he told reporters before The Oscars .

the Korean cinema was a force in his own right for More Than 15 years, Mr Bechervaise, who works as a professor in The Department of entertainment and art in Korea, Soongsil University .

"But he has taken the time for it to recognition in the award facilities in the United States, and even a festival like Cannes - it took a long time before they eventually awarded a Korean film with the Palme d'or.

"it felt like It was only a matter of time before you take note of it, with the Burn coming So Close last year, and The girls Winning a Bafta Award in the year 2018. "

The win, can be seen by some as a cultural Breakthrough

had been sown In some ways, The Seeds of Success . South Korea is a country of moviegoers and film industry is the fifth largest in The World in terms of box office sales.

Director Bong Joon-ho's talent was also recognized. Memories of Murder, The Host , the sci-Fi thriller snow piercer and Okja - a genetically modified giant-Pig - All gave him applause.

"Bong Joon-Ho's stories of Wild, innovative, unpredictable, and very entertaining," explains Prof Bechervaise, who has studied the Bong work for 15 years.

"He is able to take The Audience in ways few other filmmakers are able to do in a Film, let alone in a single scene: from moments of humour, horror, in a moment, without it being flashy. "

But it is given to parasites Bong its big, worldwide Breakthrough and for so Many Reasons .

The film is about class struggle. It is to the rich and the Poor - a universal theme that has made it possible for The South Korean history in resonance with audiences around The World .

This is a vision brought to life by an All -star and experienced South Korean occupation of the us by twists and turns, the rates to us until the end.

The film's distributor, Neon has also is well-versed, says Prof Bechervaise.

"they staged a very clever and effective release strategy, releasing it to a small number of screens, which moved in October, before the Expansion as a strong word-of-mouth more people in.

"As it added to his awards, his box-office stature Success even further. "

It is a Korean figure behind parasites-Success - co-producer Miky Lee , who has the Last Word on The Oscars (after The Audience protested, as the lights are off).

she is the Vice-Chairman of The South Korean conglomerate Cj Group . Very little happens in TV or film in South Korea without their participation.

you said a true film fanatic and has supported several of Bong Joon-Ho's films. Their influence was considerable.

It seems ironic that this social satire about class struggle came with The Help of one of South Korea , to have the to seem the richest company, but All of these factors taken together created a surprise Success .

Miky Lee (center) is a further measure, the forget behind the Success of the film

user groups, any fear that you may have had from the "one-inch barrier of subtitles" (as the Bong itself lay at the Golden Globes).

But the others of his Success to emulate? Especially when he's so powerful behind that of private companies.

President Moon Jae-in, said that his government would support the Korean theater, as he began his Cabinet meeting with a round of applause for parasites.

"a Parasite in the hearts of people around The World with a unique Korean history has moved on," he said. "It reminds us of how moving and powerful a Film can be. "

This year, the Korean Film Council 100 billion won (£65m; $85m) has been assigned for the film development. This is a 32% increase compared to the previous year.

will not be building on this Success , simply, says film critic Ha Sung-tea.

"To create the next Bong Joon-ho is a long-term project for the Korean film industry. Director Bong Joon-ho is unique.

"I think that Now the government, the industry and big corporations, All need to work together to promote the diverse creators and their unique perspectives. "

Prof Bechervaise is true.

"The younger generation does not have the same kind of opportunities that their predecessors had as the studios become more powerful.

"said The Korean cinema is in a very strong position to the front, and the infrastructure is there to find, the Success . "

But just as Bong Joon-ho stared in disbelief at his first Oscar while The World watched and smiled, Now is the moment to bask in South-Korean cinema is currently so successful.

parasites Bong Joon-Ho for his global Breakthrough

During his acceptance speech for Best screenplay, Bong, he told The Audience , "we never write to represent our countries." has given

But in the next breath, he said, "but this is a very first Oscar in South Korea . "

The feeling for This Country . My team went to the pizza shop featured in the film, where a fan told us that the South Korea of the greatest moment.

Since the Korea was divided niche Peninsula, at the end of the second World War , it has a deep-rooted insecurity here. A feeling that maybe the people can only show it on a map to have because it is next to a nuclear weapon the dictator in the North.

The Oscars is the claim that South Korea is a cultural Powerhouse - and it Now has a place in the history books.

If The Audience did not know the cultural talent in This Country , do it Now .
