Obviously when your film starts with a cold open of an old lady doing a dance in a field you have my attention. This is good because you should be paying attention to this.
Bong Joon-Ho finds humour in shocking or tragic circumstances and it never feels like it's undermining his characters. It's just that sometimes sorrow can look a little ridiculous and people are messed up (extremely messed up). There's a lot going on here and it looks effortless.
i begin this movie as a normal person and end it as one of those shriveled up little grey fish from the little mermaid
Powerful portrayal of unconditional love, shocking and heartbreaking from beginning to end, that's a given, this is a bong joon-ho murder mystery we're talking about, where your prediction does not mean shit and any plot progression can be massively derailed with each tiny information revealed. Not the revenge thriller I was looking for but ended up absolutely loving it anyway, going to make it a tradition to watch this on every mother's day for the next few decades.
