Embodied cognition emphasizes that the formation of thinking concepts is rooted in universal somatic experiences. Factors such as perceptual experiences and motor experiences resulting from the interaction of the body with the surrounding environment greatly influence thinking styles and cognitive styles. Embodied cognition is widely used in the education of cognitive development at all ages. Because of its close connection to the process of thought formation, it is also used in design thinking practice in art and design education and plays an important role. The integration of physical behavior into design thinking is a way to explore the connections between the body, the environment, design thinking, and design symbols in order to inspire design thinking.

Realistic films have now become an indispensable and important part of the global film genre. Based on the background of humanities and social sciences in China and South Korea, this paper analyzes how the creators of “Parasite” and “Sheep Without A Shepherd” pass through the film plots. The profound reflection of family relations and social contradictions, as well as the role relations and drama contradictions in the family, come to achieve a strong criticism of realism. Through the analysis of the plot setting and lens usage of the two national realism films “Parasite” and “Sheep Without A Shepherd” in China and South Korea, scientific references and suggestions are put forward for the development and re-creation of realism films in China and South Korea.
