“… well, I don’t have a huge urge to experiment, but I know that I have seen you in my dreams.”

Its entire 2h45 runtime can be condensed into about 5 seconds. When Feyd-Reutha has Paul at his mercy, you…

“WHICH ONE’S THE MAMA?! WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO BE LOOKING AT WHEN I GIVE MY SPEECH?!?”
4.25/5
Finally… after 7000 years and ironically, 9000 deaths and revivals, this finally got its release. Thoroughly good film and of course bong Joon-ho has a lot he’s trying to get across politically here, mostly about the ways fascism carries itself in societies in uncertain times, but I think the one aspect he really hones in on is the role an obsession with…
