In the name of love, the core of sadness

Impressive lines from the play:

"Learn Enlish, it will open your eyes."

Learning English will open your horizons.

The innocent and hot feelings of the little girl touched me. Do you have such a friend, who has crossed thousands of mountains and rivers, and is not afraid of difficulties and obstacles, to save you?

"Before you meet the talent, you have to meet the suits."

Before meeting a star, you need to meet management.

(Suits refers to the boring corporate figure. Suits refers to boring big corporate management.)

I didn't even see that the animal expert on the show was this handsome guy, Jake Gyllenhaal. In contrast, the little fresh meat who are unwilling to sacrifice their image, no wonder they are disliked by the audience for their poor acting skills. "If it's cheap enough, they will eat it."

If it's cheap enough, people will eat it.

Tilda Swinton plays two roles, Lucy and Nancy, with completely different auras and god-like acting skills. Lucy wants to sell consumers a beautiful lie, and Nancy disdains to whitewash the truth, saying "if it's cheap enough, people will eat it". Sad to think about, purchasing power determines what you eat. What if you knew the truth? Healthy and organic food is more expensive, and those who can afford it are still the rich, while the people at the bottom still eat fast food and gradually gain weight and get sick.

In the end, Nancy kept her promise, and after the little girl paid the golden pig, she also asked to escort the little girl and Super Pig back safely. So it's the customer who pays the money, is the customer first? It is also a spirit of contract.

Tilda has been criticized for playing a character who was originally Asian in the comics in "Doctor Fantastic", but this can only be said to be a director and producer problem. Inclusion and diversity go a long way.

“Translation is sacred.”

Translation is sacred.

Among environmentalists, there are those who would rather starve themselves than eat a small tomato, those who are strictly dogmatic, and those who will do anything to achieve their goals. I like this kind of unfamiliar shaping of the image. Human nature is complex. Trying to create a lofty or completely evil image often fails to impress people.

But how much are you willing to do along the way that goes against your beliefs for a purpose that you consider noble? Is it giving you the power to hurt this one for the sake of thousands? Is it possible to compare the value of one and thousands of dollars like money?

ALF's Korean brother is Glenn from The Walking Dead.

When the little girl quickly ran from the factory to find Mija, the camera smoothly showed the pig processing process. I don't know how many people feel sick after watching it? If you like sausage, don't know how it's made. The most poignant thing is that Mija was saved, but the fate of thousands of her companions remained unchanged.

After reading it, I might not be able to bear it, but I will still eat pork tomorrow. Only when people solve their own food and clothing problems can they have the energy to pity others. The director finally gave a warm and hopeful ending.

    Sister - Guanhai, sister - Emperor Chuan, capitalism is not about treating guests to dinner, and only solving real problems with money

    At least there is a lack of continuity in the subject matter, and it ended hastily with a blank face. And this pig, it still has to look like a pig.

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.
