I really didn't get what all the fuss was about with this movie. It was frankly pretty ridiculous, both in its plot and the characters' behavior. E.g., if you smell like ass and are butthurt when people make fun of your aroma, do you a) shower or b) start murdering people?
This was closer to "Kung Fu Hustle" than a Best Picture nominee.
- kung fu hustle? LOL. what a strange take.ethered
- it's racist not to like this movie, that's why.robotron3k
- Clearly my take is strange given the movie's acclaim, ethered. lol So much of the movie seemed so silly to me, almost like a slapstick comedy.MondoMorphic
- Based on your curt review, I am confident in saying you probably didn't see the movie.monospaced
- Or simply didn't understand it. One or the other.monospaced
- It didn't seem super deep or complicated, Mono. If you were the dad, what would *you* have done?MondoMorphic
- hmm. yeaethered
- It might help to watch other Korean films. Many of them have a tone that is pretty different from what we're used to, it's ridiculous and serious at the sameyuekit
- time. Bong Joon-ho's other films are mostly all like that.yuekit
- I've only watched one other Korean film so you may be right.MondoMorphic
- It's not really deep or complicated, and I never said it was. But your reduction of the plot and meaning to almost nothing feels like you missed the point.monospaced
- Or perhaps, the point didn't resonate with you, and you've simply written off the movie's high points of acting, film-making, storytelling and score. All great.monospaced
- Comparing it to Kung Fu Hustle is almost insulting to most viewers, all things considered.monospaced
- i feel like Mondo is race-baiting but I don't care enough to argue about itethered
- I didn't get that impression. Sounded more like he just didn't like it and wanted to equate it to the worst movie he could imagine.monospaced
- May I go out on a limb, Mondo, and assume that you thought Ready Player One and Midway were better?monospaced
