I loved Snowpiecer one of the most underrated films in the last 10 years IMO. However, have you seen The Host? Another film of Bong Joon-Ho that I love. It has Doona Bae from Sense 8 and Clout Atlas in it. Even though it might seem silly at first the monster is just a metaphor. If you have not seen it I highly recommend it.

A lot of the dubbing in the Host was done by a friend of mine.

Totally agree. If you get a chance check out The Host.

That's pretty cool.

Saw this tonight and thought it was fantastic. It wasn’t my personal favorite of the year but it will definitely be one of the favorites for an Oscar.

I saw it. Didnt think it was anything fantastic and worthy of the hype its getting. It was good and I was entertained. But Oscar Worthy and all the accolades? Meh....

A great movie won't just entertain you, but make you think.

Parasite def does make you think - about social class structures, inequality, and what people will do to maintain 'appearances.'

I didn't think it would win Best Picture, but I'm glad it did - fantastic film.
