    One of Bong Joon-ho's favorites of the year. Wild, restless, energetic. The genius of the script lies not in the lines nor in the structure, but in the tension-filled scenario design. Two examples: ①When KG returned the gem, a group of people was trapped in a small space by an obstacle electric door, and then ran around with the male protagonist who repaired the door. The contrast is stark, and the dispute continues to heat up ②The male protagonist was captured by the creditor just before the child's performance → Negotiated in the car, but found that his winning bet was intercepted in advance → Stripped naked and trapped in the trunk of the car, he could only ask his wife who was about to divorce for help , a series of advanced bad luck is basically the epitome of the whole film. Adam Sandler's show-stopping sense of comedy makes the audience have more complex emotions for the unfortunate male protagonist. This role does need a comedian to play, and the iconic toothy smirk makes the ending of the last five minutes. The shock is doubled. PS Bong Joon-ho and the Safdie brothers have chosen to use stone as a logo element in this year's work, perhaps this is why they admire each other (Joshua Safdie listed "Parasite" as one of the top ten of the 2010s). 90

    The problem of trans-typing almost compromises the most fascinating visual character of the past, and in a way, it is a great step back in acuity. But, l like what it likes now! I like Adam Sandler!
