REAPER007
Feb 13, 2020
Another poor-made korean "masterpiece" has been born into this world bringing light of the genius hand of its' makers into unwashed masses, showing true colors of reality, bringing wisdom and ..... freaking clowning.
Just like most of the korean TV series a.k.a. doramas - this movie is nothing more than an idiotic grimace for the real world/human relationships/money idiology and lots of other stuff which, by passing through the prism of the director, turned into a giant pile of .... (let your imagination work here).
Da movie strips' plot trudges around pathetic attempts of its "geniuuuuus" creators trying to show poor korean folk, more known as "money crased" (dumbasses), on the contrary side bringing the "money elite" which will oppose and confront our parasites and bla-bla. Script - smelling like a bio toilet after its' 1000's usage without being washed nor cleaned, brings tons of ridiculously stupid situations in which characters could make a different (more obvious and more convenient for mentally healthy person) choice that could just cut most of the crap of this movie out, or, numerous scenes obviously overplayed and thus brought to the overstate of their original form, causing my logical tool to erase itself out of the hdd of my brain forever.
Actors bum gang - drastically faking and dramatizing every emotion - feels like this is their first acting exp, which is a common sensation after observing korean doramas, so it's ok ;). But the top of this IQ-deprived company are the arisrocrats. Bossy&pumpous to the point where they become dull, supernaive, and even outistic regarding the situations they're currently in or other characters they're currently interacting with - they performed key roles in this circus of idiots.
...and it was supposed to show realities of life, kick people out of their apathy or at least look like a movie survival manual for modern homo sapiens too lazy/not lucky enough to get a job, but to me it looked like a cheep clowning overexaggerated to the point where it becomes disgusting to watch and can only cause me to put on a dissappointed face and with a deep sigh say "FUCK YOU OSCARS"!
P.S. Mom signed under each word.

I'll never understand why fanboys got so salty about Joker not winning a stupid award

because bullies like you will never understand the hypocrisy of Joker not winning a single reward when similar films get praised.

This they write this review by pressing the auto-fill button on their phone keyboard?

Who the fuck cares about (mostly) bought awards.
---

it's not just the awards, it's the criticism and unfair hate the film got.
---

It was pretty funny that people got so mad that a movie deserving of being called best picture actually won it for once.
---

some of the review reads like it went through Google Translate

---

I think I lost brain cells trying to read this "review".

---

Bump

---

This is what happens when we tell people their opinion is important.

---

Joker sucked and hose be mad.

---

I'm trying to figure out what movie he watched. Because nothing he described sounded like Parasite.

Also I get the feeling that whoever wrote that does not like Korean people.
---

Anyway, another good Korean movie to check out is Castaway on the Moon. It's no Parasite, but it's a pretty solid watch - unnecessarily goofy at times, but from what I remember it was a pretty emotionally rich movie.

The premise is that a depressed salaryman jumps off an overpass in Seoul to kill himself, but he washes up on an island underneath the overpass that's too far away to get anyone's attention. Unwilling to wade into the bay and drown himself, he begins to adapt to his surroundings and take control of his life.

This one needs a nap within a nap, but not a movie about one.

I'm not sure what I mean either.

What was the argument?

This counts as a review?

My favorite is Memories of murder which is by the same guy who did Parasite.

how come we hardly get foreign movies from other countries?

@Beveren_Rabbit What do you mean by this? There are countless movies every year from non english speaking countries with plenty of people in the USA who watch them.

---

Very few of them make it to American theatres
