    It would probably be in more depth, if they only spoke korean, and you added subtitles. Just a note for next videos!

    11:27 Bong just looking down on me like “you would never use a bus passing in the background as a visual queue for a shift in the story and the path these characters will go down”.

    He’s right, I ain’t worthy.

    Should have just had the speak korean and had a translator…seemingly would have been alot easier for them to break down the scenes and get their point across.

    What i love about this movie is the contrast. You can really feel the effort that they put into the details to show contrast between rich and poor. Also the contrast between the first and the last half of the movie lol

    The timing of the bus behind him and music starting right after is indicative of Bong’s delicate and masterful touch.
