all those writers are telling on themselves by never comparing any of those korean movies to the man from nowhere, villainess, , the witch pt1, confidential assignment, no tears for the dead, or, significantly, the yellow sea (since that's also about a guy trying to escape his debt)

what im saying is the coward media wont watch kick rear end action from korea when trying to say every other movie from korea is about class struggle

the guy who made squid game is a reasonably well known director but not for anything you could really call class commentary hes got a sentimental movie about a korean adoptee a dark docudrama about abused kids at a school for the disabled and a comedy about a granny who briefly regains her youth

i guess you could sort of call the fortress a movie about class struggle in that it depicts korean leadership attempting to survive a manchu invasion entirely on the power of unicorn farts while the less idiotic characters who interact with the drafted soldiers attempt to point out that theyre totally outgunned and the mongols are barely even asking for anything their demands are literally just acknowledge the qing dynasty runs china and well go home and leave you alone

that, and south koreans are, with considerable difficulty, coming into their own as a culture with its own voice in the context of capitalism. even with a webcomic that isn't explicitly about the real world and only thematically tied to its politics, you quickly become aware that the creators are often literally destroying their bodies to keep up the schedule expected of them by Naver (which is like a combo Korean Google + webcomic hub).

Whoa why didn't anyone tell me this was the Squid Game thread

I don't know if this particular genre has a more definite name than like "thriller" or "suspense" or whatever but I am enamored by these sorts of premise show/films like 13 Game of Death/Battle Royale/Cube/The Circle etc. and goddamn is Squid Game such a beautiful addition to that collection

Best television that's come out this year, easily

Circle is pretty funny in just how livid people get at the monetary twist near the end. It's like being mad angels in Battlestar Galactica were always telling the truth that they are angels

You should watch coherence, it's not quite like the competition ones but has some similarities and is quite excellent

circle (from Taggart Productions) is literally objectivist propaganda

story by credits and producer credits are entirely bullshit that don't mean any actual involvement in the making or script writing process. his wife is most likely the producer of the film just like she is for his films

I definitely meant Circle (though I have also watched "The Circle" and... it definitely fits the bill of objectivist/authenticist propaganda) but it turns out I didn't watch circle, I actually meant

which... I think is forgivable. All these films have similar titles to the point where they kinda blur. Now I am intrigued to watch Circle though.

Tried Circle after a friend recommended it and don't waste your time, it's trash.

I shut it off when one of the black guys raises a concern that the majority white group is going to choose the black people to die first and all the other black characters roll their eyes and tell him to stop trying to play the race card.
