Yuzi is not a film about animal protection and vegetarianism. Director Bong Joon-ho is not clearly inclined to a certain moral point of view, and is even ambiguous in the expression of values. Greatly entertain the audience with the actor's neurotic performance. But it seems like this, helping him to show the real side of society, such as exposing the ruthlessness of the commodity economy, the extremes of animal protectionism, the simplicity and innocence that only exists in human children, the public's fascination with meat products, the power of the media to manipulate the public... Such Movies under the Hollywood framework have some mixed and bizarre oriental senses, and they are thoughtful and critical. It is difficult to find a balance in this.

All edible, except the squeal.
