THANK YOU a lot of people on here thought it was mid but I liked it! It definitely dragged at times but overall it was entertaining and it got me a pretty emotional at times
Those people have no credible taste in movies. Yes it was heavy handed but some people need to get beat over the head with topics like the disposable underclass, colonialism, genocide, etc.
Which I think it did a wonderful job at. Also I loved the ending with the final interview if you know what I mean. That was a great little “twist” albeit one I saw coming.
Also the scene where he sort of has a threesome with his GF and his clone was funny as fuck.
Also I love the fact that they modeled the aliens after extremophile invertebrates like tardigrades, they were so cute. It also made sense for the environment they were in and why even the little baby one is so resilient. That whole aspect tickled my zoology brain

I think that’s a very good point. Like it was released in large chain theaters, so it’s possible that a good percentage of the audience are/were libs who NEED that. Like not everyone comes out the womb with extensive knowledge and nuanced understanding of those subjects, I know I didn’t, and people are still just starting to learn as frustrating as that can be for the lot of us. And the dinner table scene was so suffocating and the ultimate portrayal of dehumanization to me, I really wonder what it may have evoked in other people, too.
I loved the creepers so much! I didn’t think of them that way, but that makes total sense.
But yeah, overall it was a really fun movie .I love compelling and cerebral films as much as the next guy but I ALSO LOVE FUN and people seem to hate it lol
I didn’t think of them that way, but that makes total sense.
It was literally right in your face: They are aliens, no we are aliens, no we have to exterminate them despite they saved one of us and are clearly not hostile until we started kindapping and murdering them and their children. The allegory for colonialism, with Marshall taking about a “pure white planet” to colonize, what did you thinking he was talking about the snow lol?
Er I meant didnt think of them as Tardigrades, which is what you were talking about…Maybe I wasn’t clear about breaking my thoughts between the messaging of the film and then addressing you talking about that
Can’t repeated it enough, Parasite is the rare movie of him. All of his cinematography is straight to DVD okish sci-fi movies (and I love everyone one of them)

People expected a Parasite for some reason, but with Bong Joon Ho you gotta expect a Snowpiercer if it’s in English
.
It was a fun movie
Snowpiercer is still the best Charlie and the Chocolate Factory sequel
Tilda as Wonka would make a dope movie

Memories of murder is a great feature film
Yeah I mean, as far as I know Parasite was kind of the most overtly serious/political film he’s made?
