Bong Joon Ho made history over and over again at the Academy Awards this year with “Parasite,” the first South Korean feature film to compete and win Oscars and the first foreign-language film to win the top honor for Best Picture. Bong also collected prizes for Best Original Screenplay, Best Director, and Best International Feature Film. But the one thing that might have topped the Oscar wins for Bong was receiving a personal letter from Martin Scorsese after the Academy Awards. The “Parasite” director revealed at a recent press conference in South Korea that Scorsese sent him a note congratulating on him on his Oscar victories.
“This morning I got a letter from Martin Scorsese,” Bong told journalists. “I can’t tell you what the letter said because it’s something personal. But towards the end he wrote, ‘You’ve done well. Now rest. But don’t rest for too long.
