Bong Joon-ho designed the creature in The Host (2006) to be physically incompetent. He hated perfect movie monsters and specifically instructed the animators to make the beast trip and slip to make it feel like a mutated biological error.

Bong Joon-ho on the "American-bashing" in 'The Host' (2006) & why he was surprised by the film's success: "Cineaste: Why did you put so much political subtext into 'The Host' (2006)? Do Korean audiences like that? Bong Joon-ho: It’s fun for me to bury my political comments here and there in a film, but this is also part of the tradition of the monster or sci-fi genre. It was a double blessing for me to convey some political commentary in the film and have it work within a genre. For instance, the opening scene, when the two scientists are pouring chemicals into the Han River refers to an actual event that took place six years ago. But at the same time it’s a very typical monster movie opening. So for me it was great to hit both at the same time. It’s not like I’m putting raw social commentary in the film. It is integrated into the entertainment value of the film. Some Koreans believe that 'The Host' (2006) is a moving family story; others say, “Wow, we’re totally bashing America!” But there are more of the former. Cineaste: Is there a lot of “America bashing” in Korean films? Bong Joon-ho: Some films do to some extent, once in a while. But to quote a famous Korean critic: “This is Korea’s first legitimate anti-American film.” And she gave me four stars. Cineaste: Perhaps this may start a trend in Korean films. Bong Joon-ho: It would be hard for this to become a trend. When The Host first came out, some critics said that by drawing America in this satiric way, the film would limit its appeal to mass audiences, that the satire would make them uncomfortable. Of course, after it became such a big hit, critics reevaluated and said that the younger generation really likes those elements in the film. But overall, those elements weren’t the focus of the film. (....) Cineaste: So is the incredible response of the Korean audience what you expected? Bong Joon-ho: I was so preoccupied just trying to finish the film because there were many technical difficulties that I had no time to think about how audiences would react. When the box office was so big, I was puzzled. At this point I still can’t analyze why people love it." (Bong Joon-ho's interview with Kevin B. Lee, Cineaste, 2007)

Bong Joon Ho on the meaning of "The Host" (2006) & what makes a good movie similar to a tasty Pizza: "BJH: If you look up 'Host' in the dictionary there are various meanings. One is as you just said in terms of the virus. A host is the opposite of the word of parasite. But if you were to expand on that here in the film, the central focal point of the film is the protagonists family. This loser family. Whatever is tormenting this family, that is making life hard for them or oppressing them, you could say that whoever, whatever is not helping them on the whole--its a host of all those things. It could be the creature itself, it could be the system that doesn't help this family, Korean society, America, a wide spectrum of meaning for the host. Interviewer: The movie plays very well as an entertaining monster movie but it also has a social commentary. What do you like about mixing those elements? BJH: When you say mixing together it could almost be heard as these things are so different elements or different from each other but just like you mix all these different ingredients and toppings to make a very tasty pizza. I feel that a film needs to be that way too. So instead of distinguishing between these things it could be like an exciting monster movie and at the same time have political comments and satire. And for that to work I believe you need something as a focus point and like I said before its the family. This family fighting against the monster, being repressed and tormented by the state and society, the thing that ties everything together is the family." (Bong Joon Ho's interview with Beth Accomando, KPBS, 2007) P.S: On this day, 20 years ago, "The Host" (2006) premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, France.
