JAKARTA - Director Steven Spielberg has been criticized for talking about unknown actors in Netflix's Squid Game series. This statement he spoke at the PGA Awards on Saturday, March 19.
“Some time ago, it was domestic stars who brought audiences to films. Today, it's interesting, people who are not known to be starring in series, movies, "said Steven Spielberg launched The Independent on Tuesday, March 22.
“The Squid Game came and changed the formula for all of us. Thank you Ted," the West Side Story director continued to Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos.
The statement drew criticism from netizens who called Steven Spielberg condescending to veteran actors who appeared in Squid Game. Among them are Lee Jung Jae and Oh Yeong Su who started their careers in the '60s in South Korea.
It is known that actor Lee Jung Jae is one of the veteran actors of the Chungmuro class in South Korea. He has starred in dozens of films and series before starring in Squid Game.
“Why do Americans like to think the world revolves around them? We are tired," wrote one netizen.
"Unknown. Bad choice of words. I understand Spielberg makes a lot of films that can introduce them to the audience but this is the case when people express themselves and don't offend (the other party)," said another.
Squid Game is a Netflix hit series from South Korea that tells of a competition of 456 people to win 456 million won. The series became the most watched title worldwide beating Bridgerton.
