Are those who say the movie promotes vegetarianism or animal protection seriously?

The purpose of an ALF for 40 years is to ensure that animals are treated humanely, such as preventing animal abuse, inhuman underground genetic modification, and publicizing animal abuse videos to the public for judgment. Does it prevent livestock from being slaughtered? Mija's motive is only to maintain her relationship with the pet pig Okja. Did you say rescue all the livestock?

On the contrary, many scenes in the film satirize people with such values, such as the environmentalists who are disheveled and alcoholic and who claim to be members of the animal protection company, and who are hungry and do not eat tomatoes with carbon footprints such as ethylene and sulfide. , (I don’t know why someone said he is a vegetarian, but the emphasis is on greenhouse gases!) The organization member K who put the cart before the horse in order to complete the task, (highlights the looseness of the audit of the organization members) Finally, in order to reiterate this kind of site With untenable values, Mija also used golden pigs to buy super pigs, instead of Mija's touching speech that moved the boss of Nancy. Does the movie emphasize the legitimacy of this kind of animal-friendly underground organization? No, from the very beginning, tunnel robbery was illegal and could easily lead to a series of collisions, until the police and hired security guards chased and beaten it, and there was no big reason to explain it. Did the movie highlight the inhumanity of Gene? Yes, but those random gene transplants that did not conform to the procedure were entirely blamed on the personal conduct of the former director. In addition to the deliberately evil atmosphere, the subsequent slaughtering procedures were also humane, and the successor was also a reasonable businessman.

If I want to say that the main purpose of the film is to promote the principle of mutual respect in fair trade, people standing at the top of the food chain are the only ones who dominate civilization. Slaughter cannot be completely avoided. What we can do is to be grateful and full with humane slaughter, and try to use natural hybridization instead of genetic engineering to increase production. Exploitation cannot be completely avoided. What we can do is to set a reasonable purchase price. Employers provide farmers with a good working environment, and do not create man-made famines to drive out farmers. Values ​​can't be exactly the same, what we can do is respect between vegetarians and omnivores, without interfering with each other. Like a compromise between Mija and Nancy, no one owes anyone else.

    Pigs as big as dogs, as big as elephants.

    Three and a half. The rhythm of the American scenes is a bit strange. Looking at the comments, many people mentioned Hayao Miyazaki. If this theme is an animation, it is estimated that the score would have been 8. It is estimated that 9+ is not suspense when the old man came to shoot. Everyone likes to live in fairy tales. When fairy tales become reality, they all sneer. Disdainful... Bong Joon-ho proved that he is still the most suitable Korean director to take a large investment and shoot a cross-genre. He is much more creative than a certain Sang-soo who only shoots meals, drinks and chats next door.

    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.
