Watch this directors other films: memoirs of a murder and Taxi both excellent

They needed that ending because it was a commentary on class struggle.

Parasite, started hilarious, then was very predictable and ended in total nauseating carnage. Not my thing entirely.

Burning was good, it’s on Netflix

I was told to watch everything I could by the director, Bong Joon-ho.

I just watched Snowpiercer this last weekend. Different for sure!

Was it different from Parasite?

I liked Parasite but I couldn’t watch much of Snowpiercer. Ugh so dark and creepy.

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 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
