This movie is definitely not Bongs best and certainly not the most entertaining.The music score didn't suit the movie, some of the acting too eccentric and doesn't match the movies story, instead of the over the top corporation performance's it should have shown more emotionless and robotic business characters than over the top personalities.
Bong Joon-Ho shows off his talent for thoughtful genre bending cinema in this sci-fi, comedy, drama, about a young girl named Mija and her journey to save her best friend the super pig, Okja from the Mirando Corporation. It is in the gradual reveal of the corporation's inhumane operations, the layered morality and motivations of the characters and the heightened reality of the world where the film shines, elevating the simple story to something far more interesting and complex.
So many good actors and means for such an empty movie...what a pity!
Oh, Bong. You made me well up over a CGI super pig.
The story is too bad. There is no climax and no focus.
I don't know how the team managed to make such a powerful message so FUN, and entertaining for the eyes, with the most mind blowing landscapes and animation. Both necessary and beautiful.
Many people might think that this is an anti-meat/anti-pork movie, but it isn't, it is about the connection people make between their environment vs being corporate/processed.The movie is insightful to the way humans have become robots about their food.
Absolutely amazing movie, with an even more amazing message.Movie industry should focus more on making movies, with a meaningful message.
Bong Joon-ho's first English-language feature, Snowpiercer, was an absolute home-run for me, and possibly my favourite film of the decade. A wild satire of class inequality set on a post-apocalyptic science-fiction train, Snowpiercer is one of the most creative films in recent memory, completely unpredictable, with each new train car introducing a new twist, elevated by Bong Joon-ho's dark sense of humour and the completely insane characters he populates his universe with.
