Do you hear that Mrs Anderson? That is the sound of an old bus. That is the sound of your slaying.
Also Guy Pierce's presence in this film absolutely blows my mind

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
Violent and wacky as only a Bong Joon-ho movie will be.
This does the post apocalyptic 'people pushed to the limit' sort of violence present in a mad Max film.
The sci-fi is without a doubt wacky, but I do find it compelling. The Haves justifying their position as necessary due to shortage, and talk of a "closed system" evokes the zero-sum way of looking at human competition. ie. Some must suffer so others can prosper.
Say what you want…
It has everything.
Romance, drama, action, a tasteful pole routine.
It captures all of the physical comedy and humor of a Looney tunes cartoon, and nails the tone of Charlie Chaplin films.
In all of the chaos there's a beautiful connecting story thread and clear stakes.
Genuinely brilliant fun, might also make you think about capitalism being based on extermination and exploitation. 10/10 animal onesie combat.
Don't be scared. Just watch it
