Thoughts on "Yuzi"

Hollie 2021-12-20 08:01:11

The director wanted to express too much, which made it difficult to digest after watching. The biggest core of the movie is also a contradiction for human beings. We cook ("abuse") all kinds of chickens, ducks, sheep, and pigs. Have you ever thought about their feelings? Two views, one: this is their fate. Two: They are free and should not be eaten. I think they are pitiful, but they are necessities of human beings. Either eat regardless of their fart feelings, or be a pure vegetarian. Secondly, what the director wants to ironically is the principle of today’s society. As long as you have a 24k pure gold pig, you can have a super pig. As long as you have money, money, and money, you can get what you want. everything of. Also, the super pig is so ugly and not cute. . . .

    This is not "extreme". People who think this is a vegetarian mission film may not have seen the animal protection documentary. Jay's animal protection team's anarchism, and finally Nancy's behavior (as long as it's an equivalent transaction), all show that they are just what they "are", follow the rules, dogmatic machinery, no middle terms, no negotiation Contradictions can only be contradictions. On the contrary, the last "birth" of the heroine became a helpless choice.

    1. The mournful cry of a group of pigs touched her heart; 2. Will she still love the days when she is with Yuzi in the mountains when she reaches the age of Jasper?

Okja quotes

  • [first lines]

    Lucy Mirando: [to camera while descending industrial stairway] Oh, thank you! What a terrific crowd! Welcome to my inauguration! I'm Lucy, Lucy Mirando, of the Mirando Corporation. Welcome to my grandfather's old factory. Now, I know, we all know, that Grandpa Mirando was a terrible man.

    [crowd laughs]

    Lucy Mirando: We know of the atrocities he committed in this space. We know these walls are stained with the blood of fine working men. But today, I reclaim this space, to tell you a beautiful story. Now the rotten CEOs are gone. It's Mirando's new era with me, and with new core values, environment, and life. Awesome.

    Employee: You're much more fun than the last chief executive.

    Lucy Mirando: Well, former CEO Nancy is my sister, but, uh... we're very different people. We have very different ways of being. We have very different business ethics. But she's totally ignorant about humanity. She lacks vision beyond her next round of golf.

    [crowd laughs]

    Lucy Mirando: The world's population is at 7 billion. 805 million human beings struggle with hunger every day, including 30 million right here in the United States. The world is running out of food, and we're not talking about it.

    Lucy Mirando: We needed a miracle. And then we got one. Say hello to a super piglet. This beautiful and special little creature was miraculously discovered on one Chilean farm. We brought this precious girl to the Mirando Ranch in Arizona. Our scientists have been raising her with love and care ever since, observing and performing various studies. And we've successfully reproduced 26 miracle piglets by nonforced, natural mating. They are like nothing on Earth!

  • Jay: He still hasn't eaten anything?

    Blond: No, he's, uh... still trying to leave the smallest footprint on the planet that he can.

    Silver: All food production is exploitative.

    Blond: Try this.

    Silver: Mmm-mmm.

    Blond: Come on. It's just a tomato.

    Silver: Ripened in ethylene gas. Transported in trucks.

    Jay: I admire your conviction, Silver, but your pallid complexion concerns me.
