    Mr Bong is all fair and valid to make a fuck you movie to trump after he dissed parasite - but he had the last laugh, and that sour taste ruined quite a funny movie 
    that feeling trump was gone post Jan 6 and impeachment 2 etc is felt heavy through this movie and it’s settler critique would’ve landed far better in a Harris world. 
    watching this caricature having watched the state of the union address this week just made me sad, and the whole ‘we will rise up!’ Tone in the third act again feels so out of place given the trump reelection

    This movie is like an oil painting - I don’t think it should be put in the same bracket as films, even other ones i give and deserve 5 stars. The performances, the score, the emotional weight; it’s more like Impression Sunrise or some Rembrandt portrait than any movie I had seen before

    I watched this with my mum and she said the excused pedophilia and inappropriateness was very true in the 80s. In a way ‘we had worse things to worry about than a gropey teacher.

    She meant it more of a defense, hence why it portrayed as a negative in the film. HOWEVER, They showed a young man with INCREDIBLY terrible sense of sex, and a reward for good work - CLEARLY FROM THEIR OTHER TEACHER? No wonder he offers sex…
