This soundtrack is so good. Really glad to revisit this one after not having fond memories of it as a kid.
Ever since Ellie and I watched the Lion King I have made the mistake of trying to explain the concept of compelling villain to 4-year-old Ellie. I picked it up again after this one and I still don’t think I’m getting through to her.
I loved the setup here and was very into the Mickey backstory and the slice of life aspect of the first half of the movie.
The Mark Ruffalo performance took me out of it a bit. It felt like he was pulling from too many different ugly aspects of our culture today and it felt to me like he was overdoing it at times.
Bong Joon-Ho uses food masterfully again in this one. Gonna have to go light on sauce for a while.
The breakneck pacing of this movie had me locked in. It was the kind of story that would normally have me second screening on Wikipedia and yet I couldn’t look away. Thought the point of view that the story was told from made this very interesting.
