    The best movie about a sports agent falling in love with his client and his assistant and her kid!

    There are more good lines in this movie than any other movie. 

    “You see this jacket I’m wearing? You like it? Because I don’t really need it. Because I am CLOAKED IN FAILURE!”

    I’ve been thinking a lot about this movie. It’s nice to experience something strange yet palatable. You can feel the care and sincerity in it, so while there was stuff I didn’t understand, I didn’t feel like I was just being jerked around. It’s so hard to make me feel comfortable with art I don’t understand and Bong Joon-Ho does it better than anybody else. 

    Maybe one of the best last lines of a movie!

    Watched this after my cat had emergency surgery so I knew what I was getting myself into, but actually I didn’t. If you have a pet, watch it with them. If you don’t, watch it and then find yourself getting a pet.
