The movie 'Birdman' may have won four awards at the Oscar's last night, but many Koreans aren't talking about that, they're talking about the scene with Emma Stone criticizing the smell of kimchi at a flower shop owned by a Korean. Her father, played by Michael Keaton, asks for flowers that smell nice, Emma says, "It all smells like ****ing kimchi."
Netizens either commented disappointedly with, "It's a comment that disregards Koreans," and, "Honestly, she could've said it smelled like poop, but she belittles like that, crazy bitch," while others commented more generously with, "It's one of the set ups to explain the character who appears here," and, "Emma Stone likes Korean food in real life keke and in 'Amazing Spider Man 2,' Gwen Stacy comes out as a fan of Korean food. That's why they purposely put in a scene of her belittling kimchi."
The movie will be opening in Korean theaters on March 5.
Koreans are so rude. They need to get their pride out of their asses. Emma meant no harm by the statement but like with most things, K-netizens are always on the attack
Kimchi is delicious and also has one of the most pungent scents you will ever come across. It is literally decomposing and smells just like it and I say this as someone who has eaten tons of it in life.
Korean netizens seem to be the most defensive, nationalistic people ever. It's so messy...
It's not that hard to understand that food from different cultures will not be palatable to everyone. Plus, Emma Stone's character was kind of an ***hole anyway.
