A commonplace topic

The score of 6.6 is quite surprising to me. The score given in my heart is probably above 7.2. After checking the background, I found out that it has suffered more setbacks. It is said that Mr. Feng Junhao wanted to hit Hollywood with the film, but because the investor is an online platform, he still wanted to participate in the Cannes Film Festival. competition, a series of contradictions emerged. (Over at Cannes, they don't seem to allow line films to be released online for three years -- if you're going to show them in theaters.) So I guess that's one of the reasons why Okja isn't rated so high. Of course, as far as line films are concerned, in the recent years of release, the ratings sometimes have a downward trend and then rise. so...don't pay too much attention to the rating! It's okay to just focus on some of the points he's talking about.

Personally, I prefer works of this type. Since the Detroit game last year, the absorption of such themes has been in an undersaturated state.

One of the problems reflected in Yuzi, I think, is the conflict between human interests and the interests of other species, or the conflict between human beings and compassion while satisfying their own needs. The video places this problem. Although there is no solution, it is good to be able to "place" this problem.

Some dark humor in the film. No, it's just some black tones that I'm more interested in at this stage. Because you want to be profound, you have to be dark? Then I would admire films that cut or analyze society through "warm love". I hope that there are literary and artistic works that can be more avant-garde and boldly propose some solutions. Like Detroit (laughs) But revolution or something is not ok, although it is also a solution.

    Maybe the expectations are too high, so the more disappointment, the more laughter and the denser the laughter. It's really a love movie. The beginning is the best in Korea, but the more you go to the back, the worse it is. Black characters can be so thin and so many characters are not as interesting as Choi Woo-sik's characters

    It seemed to watch a live-action version of Hayao Miyazaki. But after opposing capitalism for a long time, laughing at animal protectionism for so long, and finally falling back to the same logic as them, plus anti-gene, it is really inferior to the "Snow Country Train", and Hayao Miyazaki's ankle can't reach. . The highlight is definitely that the audience was sad for a...sow...being raped......I never expected such a moment in my life hahahahahahaha

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.
