FIRST OF ALL !! i wanna give y& #39;all a BIIIG tw for this movie! it talks about animal abuse and it has some violence in it, so please be wary of that when going in.
SO! okja is a 2017 movie directed & written by bong joon-ho and it& #39;s originally a netflix film, so you can watch it there.
imdb summary: "a young girl risks everything to prevent a powerful, multinational company from kidnapping her best friend, a fascinating beast named okja"

much like bong joon-ho& #39;s oscar winning parasite, it& #39;s a film that critiques capitalism and consumerism, though this one has an animal rights undertone to it.
at first glance, it seems like a movie that promotes veganism, and it can certainly be viewed that way! but it& #39;s +

in truth a film about consumerism and the hand that showmanship has in it. it& #39;s really interesting and genuinely visually stunning! i& #39;ve never really seen a lot of people comment on this film, but it has a really special place in my heart.
it& #39;s a beautiful and expertly crafted story that makes great social critics, and it& #39;s a real shame that not many people know about it! but i& #39;m really hoping that people have seen parasite, they& #39;ll give okja a chance. i cannot recommend it enough.
a little backstory on my relationship with this film, i found it back when it originally came out, and to be honest i watched it on a whim, but after that i basically fell in love with bong joon-ho& #39;s works after that, and okja specifically really became a staple movie for me.
i would like to add one more pitch for y& #39;all to watch this, and it& #39;s the fact that this movie has a phenomenal cast. with people like tilda swinton, steven yeun and jake gyllenhaal just to name a couple.
also i wanna add that blond and silver are dating and this is actually canonical <3
and im gonna end the thread here!
but once again i wanna give a tw for animal abuse in the movie !!! don& #39;t watch it if that& #39;s a trigger for you or if it bothers you in general, it& #39;s not the entire movie that& #39;s like that, but there& #39;s a couple scenes that hammer it down hard.

a note to that ^^^^^
it& #39;s not real animals, it& #39;s cgi animals like okja, but i still wanna make warn y& #39;all just in case.
