Featured review
Untitled
Bong Joon Ho's first feature which depicts lives around 2000 or late of 1990s in Korea.
Anyone shoots a first feature by this standard would go big, you can tell. Quentin Tarantino's first feature or second were all really not that appealing, I am not going to get to that. But compared to whom Bong Joon Ho admired or still admires so much, Bong deserves two thumbs up.
It is a satire; the film was under a low budget and didn't break even with box office by the time it was showing in Korean theatres.
A theme in relates to consume canine on scene would upset many, what a relief that it would not bother Patricia Highsmith anymore, the famous writer who had two pet peeves in her lifetime towards two group of peoples in mankind one of which has something to do with the theme of this film entails, I will not get to that either.
Fact checks, no puppies were harmed while the film was shot through, rest assured, and rise above the unnecessary uncomfortable mood, if it was somehow uninspiring during the course of some part of proceeding of the film.
Bong is one of the Northeast Asian filmmakers, (namely Japanese Chinese and Korean filmmakers,) who has the utmost self confidence that it definitely doesn't bother him if he is delivering something palpably or honestly in regard to the insolent or not very goodlooking sides of his 'people', he is bold, simply add. Which most other Korean filmmakers, and 99 percent Japanese or Chinese filmmakers wouldn't do it, the cultural pride cannot afford inferior, obviously that's not what Bong thought, he is confident, so audacious, actually self-deprecated, which actually is the way people showing confidence. It is what I admire Bong the most.
Nonetheless, this film tells what young people actually experience at that time in Korea, and it is light, except for slaying the mongrel cues, nonetheless it is metaphorical, like what people would measure things up if they are desperately pre-empting under things that even not that clearly portended, especially when people feel unsafe, not everybody is going to do things in harm's way, to puppies, cat, or even humans, well, some does under certain circumstances. Bong's film intends to tell the things are always complicated than you thought it would transpire into.
Production design is impeccable, details on set etc. We love it. Some would complain the lighting is a bit too dim, well, it happens in a basement, at some point, that's what it is.
7.7/10.
