A Masterpiece

Rating: 9/10 (14 May 2020)

This film has different genres which makes the film unique.Overall, if you're wanting a movie of mixed emotions (comedy, horror/thriller, mystery, sad, psychological, etc.), this movie has it.The story of the family mixed with different genres and sub-genres such as comedy,thriller,suspense,horror is done seamlessly and quite brilliantly such that it feels earned. The shift in the quirky fun heist comedy to horrific edge of the seat thriller is the highlight of the film. There is meaning conveyed in almost every scene,every shot constructed with such precision with much deeper layers into it connected throughout the film,for instance, the Native American reference or the line that Mr. Park crosses that urges Mr. Kim to take such a sudden and extreme action.Such films don't come very often and this movie proves why Bong Joon-ho is one of the best filmmakers working today.
