Puking


Why did the scrip reader feel like puking when he started reading the girl's story? I didn't really understand what made him puke. It can't be fowl odor from the paper because then Geon-woo would have smelled it before and he would have puked.

It was because the girl's screenplay was so horrible (same reason why Kyun-Woo dreaded reading her scripts).

Apparently script readers at Shin Chine (the company that distributed "My Sassy Girl") has a weak stomach for bad scripts. ^_^ Pretty funny scene.

hehe pg26, i'm afraid you're wrong.. but it's ok.

i think you're just confused.

>>>SPOILER:<<<
This is on the director's Cut version. This is the scene before Gyun-Woo had mistaken the Girl for another "babe" on the street he wanted to hit on.

The girl's riding a taxi and she noticed that the driver is a pervert and keeps on looking at her through the mirror.The driver's eye isn't concentrating on the road so he accidentally bumped his taxi on a service truck that sucks poo in the sewers, resulting the poo to splatter on the front of the taxi... but this scene doesn't have anything to do with the Shin Cine Employee's vomiting because of the Girl's script. ^_^

Yea,

I never understood why that guy barfs. otip_cris's response is kind of unintelligble.

Anyone else?

Maybe it was just coincidence that he started feeling sick at the same time as he started reading the script (something he ate earlier?). If that's the case, the humor works better if you're not thinking too much about the cause of his sickness, but just loosely associate the script's badness with the man's vomiting. Perhaps the vomiting made the man's reading of the script that much more horrible.

In any case, it's hard to make a case that the script directly caused the vomiting - that would force the audience to suspend disbelief too much (compared with the believability of the rest of the film), IMO.

I believe he puked because the girl's script is so bad and it made him sick. In the asian culture this is a way to make fun of ppl. Him puking is simply an exaggeration.
