I did. We all did. Still happy to see it.
Korean cinema has really seemed to break through in the US since Parasite. I will say I am not very exposed to Korean culture outside of what makes it over the Pacific to bleed into US culture. Which in my opinion makes it all the more impressive that two anti-capitalist Korean productions became international sensations after exploding in the US.
Can you all feel it? They tried to make us feel like the energy was gone, but itâs still there, and itâs not just Squid Game thatâs showing it.
EDIT - on a show related note, Oh-Il Nam was a total surprise to me, biggest twist Iâd say.
Thatâs when Boston Dynamics Amphibious Sexual Assault Dogs and the FBI spy planes come out. The moment you even doubt capitalism the NSA panopticon is going to come down on you like a boulder on an ant. Thereâs going to be like 15 guys in full deathstronaut gear pouring from every corner of the country into your living room. Thereâs going to trucks preemptively soaking every neighborhood with teargas laden water. Thereâs going to be LRADâs spouting every imagineable anti communist propaganda ever, and when you try to Google search âhow to make molotov cocktailâ thereâs going to be a captcha asking you to debunk anti communist talking points with a timer and if you spell one thing wrong the Delta Force operator hanging from the ceiling will pour his Black Rifle coffee on you
As funny as this description was, the US really showed itâs whole ass during the BLM riots nationwide.
They barely have the capacity to deal with domestic dissent anymore. Without deploying the entire apparatus (which may even worsen the situation), they are without a hope of victory.

just wait until they start using live ammo and just start gunning us down
That would kick off something noone has any real control over.
At that point they are going all in and might very well lose.
This comment reminded me of Robert Evanâs After the Revolution for some reason.
But yeah, hellworld⌠not sure what else to say lol
