Choose one of the following questions to address in your response paper.  (Please note the number of the question that you are responding to at the beginning of your paper.)

1. There are numerous moments of overlap or transformation in Cyborg, where one ordinarily discreet object, individual, role, word, sound, etc. merges with or becomes another thing.  Name one such transformation and discuss its significance in relation to the film as a whole.

2. The director, Park Chan-wook, has said that Cyborg is is not interested [in] the concept of a cure.  Yet we can trace a kind of healing trajectory throughout the film.  What do the main characters achieve by the end of the film, if not a cure?  Is this a happy ending, a tragic outcome, or something else altogether?
