Surprisingly good for a Korean zombie movie.

If only they killed that old asshole who basically got everyone killed earlier in the film. After like his second scene I was hoping someone would kill the c*** but I knew he'd go on to get a bunch of people killed.

I give it a solid 8/10. That little girl who played Su-an was pretty damn good as well.

Yep, been here just over a month now. Been busy with work (glad I left my job in Thailand for it). Only thing that sucks right now is not having my wife and daughter here yet. Ran into some issues with my police clearance which has delayed the process of getting my work visa which will allow them to join. Hopefully it will arrive from Canada by the end of the week.

Going to visit the family in Bangkok for 2 days (either the 24th or 31st, depends when the report gets here). They'll hopefully join me here by the middle of August.

Gotta say, the city I'm in does not make me think of China. Very modern city and high end cars everywhere (I see more luxury cars in a day here than I've seen in a month in Canada). Definitely going to take some time to get use to everyone gawking at you in public like you're some celebrity though.

But you said surprisingly good for a Korean zombie movie.

What other Korean zombie movie have you seen that you can say that it's good compared to the whole genre?

I know that feel. visited both japan and china in the past. in both places, people usually stared at me. especially in japan cause I was in a city that doesn't get much foreign tourism. I remember walking past a high school japanese boy and he turned his head and did a double take when he realized what he just passed by

I've had people point and stare. It's usually been really old people or kids. Younger men who I've seen stare seem to be looking at my tattoos more than anything.

Or maybe it's due to the fact that the majority of Korean movies I've watched in the past (like The Host for example) tended to be pretty garbage imo. So, I'm obviously comparing it to western zombie films. The two of you need to stop being so damn obtuse...

oh. I didn't get THAT. though one time a woman put her arm over a baby carriage as I went by like she thought I would steal her child.

actually I just remembered though, I made a little girl cry in Japan. I suddenly remembered it while I was making this post. my host family invited the whole freaking neighborhood for a birthday party for me. which I actually hated but they didn't know that. they thought americans expect that so they were trying to be nice. anyway, I remember this mom trying to make her daughter that was like 5 say hi to me. and she started crying

There is a 3.5 year old little girl who's (or was I should say) a student at my school. She has classes on Saturday. A week ago she saw me for the first time and started bawling. Refused to enter the building even after I left. When she came again on the weekend she got a quick glimpse of men and the same thing happened.

Luckily she's been the only one besides the autistic 3 year old who lived across the street from me in Thailand (took her over a year to not lose her shit at the sight of me). Usually the kids see me as a big teddy bear and always trying to play.

I remember watching it when it first came out after hearing everyone saying it was great. I was honestly bored out of my mind.

I would say give it another try. Bong Joon-Ho movies are pretty non-traditional.

The Host is more about the gov hiding things from the populace.

The monster is just a prop. I enjoyed it too.

the main homie from The Host is also in another great flick, "Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance". The first of the vengeance trilogy which is followed by "Oldboy".

Super recommend both if you haven't seen either or.

Lady Vengeance is okay but not as good as those two

a lot of it is about anti-american sentiments, but you're not wrong that it's also about governments hiding things

I guess I'll give The Host another shot. Will download it when I get home and maybe watch it tomorrow. I'll probably watch Blade Runner 2049 tonight.
