The film has a lot of laughs, and the plot is quite compact. Okja's huge body and soft heart form a very dramatic contrast, especially the scene where the little girl Miko and Okja rely on each other in the mountains and forests, and the tacit understanding will probably touch the hearts of every viewer who has had pets.

Her life showed a certain "utopian" temperament, far away from the city and the crowd. Self-sufficient, the movie does not even say whether she reads or has neighbors. When Lucy decided to stretch her hand to Okja, Miko had no power to fight back, even the "animal protectionists" who seemed well-equipped and well prepared, but they had no room for resistance in front of the money empire.
Okja has human eyes and teeth. In order to prevent their cubs from being slaughtered, the scene of the mutant pigs sneaking the cubs out of the electrical isolation net can be said to be full of "human brilliance." People are just mutant pigs in the eyes of the privileged class, just raw materials that can be consumed and obtained. The film further tells the audience: Oppression and resistance are just games for the state power machine to maintain operation. If the power machine wants to attack the individual, the individual has no ability to protect their own interests and rights, and resistance can only make people see the reality. , And then more desperate
