Viewing Notes

Have not seen this movie in its entirety since I saw it on release at the theater with Shannon. So…

A Very Good Revisit

This hits way different and way harder having lived thru a pandemic. I had forgotten that entire aspect of the movie. Also, forgot how gd sad and tragic this movie this. Really heartbreaking moments. Bong Joon Ho doesn’t pull any punches.

I just rec’d the BD bc I wanted to rewatch this and didn’t want to search for my DVD, which I read was inferior anyways. BD looks good but I’m shocked there’s no UHD for this title. At least not one I could find w/English subs (the French UHD does not have Eng. subs).
