Bong Joon-Ho! Bong Joon-Ho! More 'big lumbering monster that's far more sympathetic than initially presented' plotlines please!!
...I'm completely serious by the way, I really loved how much of a part they played in this (and Okja, and The Host before). It's really interesting to me how much he contrasts a deep respect and adoration for the creatures that're created for his films while *also* not holding back on just how cruel human society would be towards them, especially those…
I’m sorry I took this long to watch this, but I’m glad I took the time right now.
Now, don’t get me wrong. It’s an interesting movie before it happens, but as soon as The Baby appeared on screen I couldn’t drag my eyes away… I can’t even imagine what this’d be like in the 70s, this level of visceral sound design and art direction is in a league of it’s own right now! An amazing debut from one of the greatest artists to ever do it, and something to challenge viewers forever more…
Rest in Peace, David Lynch.
How is this not considered a beloved classic by the masses, quoted to the nth degree and etched within the public consciousness? It's probably better this way though, as the joy of finding something this consistently, charismatically hilarious is a delight within itself. An instant favourite that I can't recommend enough, especially to those looking for a laugh!
