A thousand miles to find a pig

【Okja 2017】

Once upon a time there was a cold man in the state of Lu. He admired Tao, Zhu Gong, the rich and the best, and when he made three comebacks, he accumulated tens of millions of properties in just a few years. So Teba came to visit. When Tao Zhugong heard the intention, he only said: If the son wants to get rich quickly, he will be an animal and five crops. In modern Chinese, it means that if you want to make a quick fortune, you just need to accumulate five kinds of female livestock to breed. ?They are mare, cow?, female?, female?, and bitch. Ten years later, the apprentice became the richest man in Lu.

The population and food resources are not balanced today. Some businessmen driven by primitive interests, in order to exploit the value of biological use to the extreme. The combination of genetic technology and modern technology has created a new species - the first generation of super pigs without father and mother. This pig has the advantages of small food intake and less excretion. As a result, volume and weight can be stored with maximum efficiency. And the meat is extremely delicious, surpassing the original taste and tasting experience of natural pigs. The price is also relatively low, and once it is launched on the market, it will obtain huge global benefits for developers.

After watching the movie?

I want to leave a few questions to think about.

1⃣️If the story is true. When you know the animal you want to eat is sentient, painful, emotional, and spiritual, would you choose to eat it?

2⃣️When you know that the animal you want to eat is a laboratory product, not a natural evolutionary creature in the traditional sense, will you eat it?

3⃣️If all of us really don't choose to eat this kind of animal, not even genetically modified vegetables. With such a large global population, is there anything to eat?

4⃣️When you know that the breeding industry will make a fortune, will you still choose to do the business where every animal is destined to be killed?

    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.

Okja quotes

  • [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!

  • Jay: He still hasn't eaten anything?

    Blond: No, he's, uh... still trying to leave the smallest footprint on the planet that he can.

    Silver: All food production is exploitative.

    Blond: Try this.

    Silver: Mmm-mmm.

    Blond: Come on. It's just a tomato.

    Silver: Ripened in ethylene gas. Transported in trucks.

    Jay: I admire your conviction, Silver, but your pallid complexion concerns me.
