I was told to watch everything I could by the director, Bong Joon-ho. |
| I saw it, with zero knowledge of the plot, the ending , or even the genre. Which IMO made it even better. Because I had no idea what to expect from it |
I just watched Snowpiercer this last weekend. Different for sure! |
Thank you. Seems quite eclectic. |
Was it different from Parasite? |
| If you want a fun “quirky misfits band together to save kid/robot from evil corporation” movie set in space check out space sweepers |
I liked Parasite but I couldn’t watch much of Snowpiercer. Ugh so dark and creepy. |

| Burning was good, it’s on Netflix |
| Parasite, started hilarious, then was very predictable and ended in total nauseating carnage. Not my thing entirely. |
| They needed that ending because it was a commentary on class struggle. |
| Watch this directors other films: memoirs of a murder and Taxi both excellent |
