      Follow-up question from Yuzi: If genetically modified pork appears in the future, can you say no?

      The film "Okja" directed by director Bong Joon-ho was released recently. The famous Korean director Bong Joon-ho has produced almost all his works, and they are all excellent: in 2003, the thriller and suspense film "Murdering Memories" was full of reasoning and narrative skills; in 2006, "The Monster of the Han River" received praise; The suspense film "Mother" made a comeback, reaching the peak of Korean thriller and suspense film; and the ambitious film "Snowpiercer" in 2013 paved the way...

      Yuzi is actually a good movie~

      Hey, in fact, I didn't watch this drama in theaters. I didn't have any hope at first, but after watching it, there are still some inspirations. The score of 6.6 is still a bit low. Whether it is the plot or the shooting, it can still be considered good. , while having depth, the natural addition of laughter in the film will not make people feel heavy (except at the end of the film). Of course, as a sci-fi drama film with positive energy and educational significance, the lack of substitution...

      Although the whole story comes from a Korean director, it has elements of Hollywood commercials very much. A teenage girl Miko grew up with a mysterious giant animal "Okja" in the valley of Gangwon-do. After Okja suddenly disappeared, Miko embarked on a journey to find Okja and was involved in a conspiracy. After a lot of hardships and back to a better life.

      After watching it, I don't know what the director wants to express. There is a lack of in-depth discussion. Hot topics such as animal protection, environmental protection, and genetic modification are all involved, and they all surface. In the same way, an action movie like Thailand's "Tom Yum Kung" feels better than this...

      Really left. The script is incoherent and can be read as a nonsensical comedy. In addition to the Korean-style spit humor, Feng Feiqi seems to have a poor grasp of other types of emotions. "Mother" could be the black swan event of his career. Writer Jon Ronson once made the documentary "Kubrick's Box" about...

      Audio-visual is really nothing to say, but it is too cartoon, too fable, too hypocritical, even more than Snowpiercer. The characters are all puppets, the values ​​are ambiguous and pale, the stupid and hypocritical Green Party and the stupid big companies, only the pastoral is pure and good. The biggest question is, how did Hollywood's Bong Joon Ho become a fairy tale...

      The first half is bizarre and interesting, the second half is weak and unclear, and several arguments (consumerism, genetic modification, animal protection) are thrown out, but they all come to nothing. Only Miko and Yuko's cross-racial fetters are still complete, but they are also short of breath. Encountering an old Fengzhen who lacks interpretability makes people feel helpless, but their original intention is just to make an entertainment film for the gold master's father to earn clicks. The...

      Tilda Swinton and Ahn Swee Hyun did a good job. As a weaker film, the educational significance of sociology is too strong. In the United States, it seems that because Feng Junhao's English is not good, he is out of control, and his performance is stereotyped and...

    Evaluation action

    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. The spiritual core of "Okja" and "Snowpiercer" is very similar: resistance to power, but "Okja" is more repressive...

    Movie quotes

    • K: You're a fucking psychopath.

      Jay: You should be ashamed of yourself.

      Nancy Mirando: Fuck off! We're extremely proud of our achievements. We're very hardworking business-people. We do deals, and these are the deals we do. This is the tenderloin for the sophisticated restaurants. The Mexicans love the feet. I know. Go figure! We all love the face and the anus, as American as apple pie! Hot dogs. It's all edible. All edible, except the squeal.

    • Jay: Translations are sacred.

    • [first lines]

      Lucy Mirando: [to camera while descending industrial stairway] Oh, thank you! What a terrific crowd! Welcome to my inauguration! I'm Lucy, Lucy Mirando, of the Mirando Corporation. Welcome to my grandfather's old factory. Now, I know, we all know, that Grandpa Mirando was a terrible man.

      [crowd laughs]

      Lucy Mirando: We know of the atrocities he committed in this space. We know these walls are stained with the blood of fine working men. But today, I reclaim this space, to tell you a beautiful story. Now the rotten CEOs are gone. It's Mirando's new era with me, and with new core values, environment, and life. Awesome.

      Employee: You're much more fun than the last chief executive.

      Lucy Mirando: Well, former CEO Nancy is my sister, but, uh... we're very different people. We have very different ways of being. We have very different business ethics. But she's totally ignorant about humanity. She lacks vision beyond her next round of golf.

      [crowd laughs]

      Lucy Mirando: The world's population is at 7 billion. 805 million human beings struggle with hunger every day, including 30 million right here in the United States. The world is running out of food, and we're not talking about it.

      Lucy Mirando: We needed a miracle. And then we got one. Say hello to a super piglet. This beautiful and special little creature was miraculously discovered on one Chilean farm. We brought this precious girl to the Mirando Ranch in Arizona. Our scientists have been raising her with love and care ever since, observing and performing various studies. And we've successfully reproduced 26 miracle piglets by nonforced, natural mating. They are like nothing on Earth!
