Shelter the world's pigs and save my pigs!

If you just want to see a cute big hippo pig, check it out.

I recommended this one to a friend of mine, and he highly recommended it. After I read it... hehe.

There is no innovation in the plot, and you can guess the next step by looking at it. The narrative is also a straight line, and the editing is simply toxic. The special effects are not bad, but they are average. There are many times when you can still see the difference. Mainly there are no bright spots. As some comments said, the director wants to express too many things, but every point is very third-rate, not a single point is for me to ponder, and the way of expression is also very direct, nothing new, let people see It just feels like the director is making sense here again!

! Contains a little spoiler below,,,,,,,,,,,,,

If this is an animal movie for children, a movie that teaches children to be brave and fearless, or an entertainment movie for adults, then it's ok. But what this movie advertises is human nature (don't blame me for being poisonous, but no matter how movies these days advertise human nature), it's just... um. First of all, the film obviously wants to express that the heroine and the pig are the most kind and righteous, and the others are villains or have their own plans. But why don't I feel how brilliant the heroine is? When the nonsensical animal protection organization said that the plan wanted to save all pigs, the hostess replied: "I want to take him home." It's not that other pigs are none of my business, my pig is the most The important thing is, as long as I can bring my pigs home, the rest of the dead will be fine. Everyone is saying that other people in this movie are selfish and selfish, but the heroine's attitude... Anyway, I have no feelings for her since that sentence, and she is just as selfish as everyone else. .

From the perspective of each main character, the so-called bad characters are not as bad as the movie wants to express, and the so-called good characters are not pure white. From the perspective of Meranda, yes, it is wrong from the perspective of equality of life. But life is equal, just like in the dog town movie, there is no such thing as the law of nature. Because humans have a layer of virtual reality on top of the basic reality, they have a way of survival that surpasses other animals, but that does not mean that we can surpass ourselves and ignore the basic reality. Nancy said something: "As long as it's cheap, they'll eat it." Isn't it right? Do you go grocery shopping when you are hungry? When you're shopping for groceries, you'll think about which is cheap or what's so pitiful. Shouldn't they be dead? When you are dying of hunger, will you see a rabbit still thinking that he has parents and children, so pitiful and cute? And they use their own money and technology to develop items that are more valuable to human beings, aren't they worthy of praise? From another point of view, humans have eaten pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks, goose and fish for so many years. At this time, it is time to talk about equality? It's too hypocritical, not to mention, as another comment said, since vegetarianism is promoted, why eat fish at the beginning, isn't that fish not pitiful?

From the perspective of animal protection organizations, they are simply inexplicable in the film, appearing inexplicably (the editing is magical there), inexplicable motives, and inexplicable purposes. I'm not impressed with any of the members after reading it. I feel like this is a big failure... It can only be said that it was a group of people who appeared with the petals of the Virgin, and in the end, only one concept was saved, which is almost the same as the heroine.

As far as the ending is concerned, this is really only a children's movie. The foreshadowing or the description of the characters are all gone. There are also directors who paid tribute to several films in the film, but the way of paying tribute is neither surprising nor clever. The ending is very confusing, the heroine just returned home and was happy after saving her own pig...

Anyway, after watching the whole movie, I have feelings for the bad guys, no feelings for the protection organization, and I don't like the heroine.

    Unexpectedly, Feng Junhao also got the contagion of the collapse of the third act... Although he didn't use the telephoto side shot much, the video was still a big screen work, and it was not turned into Netflix (the next generation director should be more of a living room entertainment style) .

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.
