Abstract
RESUMEN: En contacto con la ciencia actual y con la ciencia ficción –hoy fusionadas–, el director Bong Joon-ho recupera el tema de la criatura schelleyniana. En "The Host", la falta de escrúpulos en el tratamiento de vertidos tóxicos provoca la creación accidental de un monstruo portador de un apocalíptico virus escurridizo y difícil de estudiar. En "Okja", el engendro es a la vez un mítico animal nodriza (como Amaltea o Luperca), una criatura inteligente y protectora, que crece en un edén junto a una huérfana. Ambas ignoran que forman parte de una campaña de «marketing» global que presenta la producción transgénica como algo natural.
ABSTRACT: In contact with current science and science fiction – now merged – director Bong Joon-ho recovers the theme of the Schelleynian creature. In "The Host", the lack of scruples in the treatment of toxic waste causes the accidental creation of a monster carrying an apocalyptic virus that is elusive and difficult to study. In "Okja", the spawn is both a mythical mother animal (like Amalthea or Luperca), an intelligent and protective creature, growing up in an Eden alongside an orphan. Both are unaware that they are part of a global marketing campaign that presents transgenic production as something natural.
