this movie is absolutely incredible but fuck it for making me think paul dano is hot
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
That last shot might be one of the coziest things I’ve ever seen but it still couldn’t bring me back from how sad I was 10 minutes earlier. That kinda summarizes my thoughts on Okja as a whole. A lot of heart and precision in every scene, but do all these carefully crafted scenes work when you put them together? I’m not gonna say no, but it could’ve been smoother. Another great film by Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best International Film, and Best Picture winner Bong Joon-ho!
paul dano can get IT..... and by it, i mean the credit, respect and appreciation he truly deserves
me: idk im not that big of an animal lover :/
paul franklin dano, wearing a rude ass shirt and tie with his kind eyes and gentle voice: we are animal lovers
me: The Animal Liberation Front (ALF) is an international, clandestine leaderless resistance that engages in illegal direct action in pursuit of animal rights. Activists see themselves as a modern-day Underground Railroad, removing animals from laboratories and farms, destroying facilities, arranging safe houses and veterinary care, and operating sanctuaries where the animals subsequently live. Critics have classified them as terrorists.
like ET on crack. a *wild* (and wildly uneven) satire that's less concerned with sustainability than it is about corporate hegemony and the conflicting agendas that result from that… when people say it's a lot like THE HOST, they're not just talking about the creature, but also the attitudes she inspires.
for the first 45 minutes, i was convinced I was watching Bong's best film. it's so rich, so soulful, and the first act is capped off with a chase sequence that equals anything Spielberg has ever done. it's everything you want from a trip *to* the movies. i love how every character in his films, no matter how small, is afforded a full personality and at least one moment…
