Hold up!! His writing is this ass???
Bong Joon Ho’s metaphor is always heavy-handed (see The Host, Snowpiercer, and Parasite), but it is equally sharp. Unfortunately, this movie is dull. The engaging half-thoughts are quickly cast aside so Mark Ruffalo can lazily mock Trump and Robert Pattinson can babble. The conceit of reprinting, the violent fetishes of every powerful character, the brief dialogue on the soul: all of these things are much, much more interesting than the story that is…
