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
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)
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
I thought it was alright, but I wish they would’ve explored more of the storylines insinuated in the beginning.
Will add though, see a lot of comments about the messaging being “lib” or whatever, and I strongly believe that the messaging in US movies doesn’t matter nearly as much as people think because the average person can’t read (or doesn’t care to).
I saw it yesterday. very good.
:::spoiler I watched with my gf Nasha deserves her self Eifel Tower with Micky 17 and 18.
book spoiler
she gets that in the book
cowards
Just watched it the other day, actually. Not Bong's best, seems like he was hitting the BONG before making this movie (get it?).
Still entertaining though! I liked the cheese of it all. Mark Ruffalo hamming it up was great, I liked his wife too. Forgot her name.
Wayyyyy tf too long. Yes it is heavy handed, but that didn't detract from it. Just kind of meh overall though. Felt like Bong was just trying to have a good time and make a fun movie, rather than a piece of art. With that, he succeeded.
It made me horny to think about the two love interests having an orgy with the two Robert's, so that was great. I wish they did that in the movie. Maybe the sequel.
Also the animals were cute!!! Loved the alien design.
