I thought Jake Gyllenhaal was insufferable in this. The worst performance I have ever seen him do.<br /><br />"The real star of Okja is Ahn. Her determination, stamina, and love for friend drive the entire film."<br /><br />I agree with this. It got me over the hump of the fucking about badly with the film's tone.Myerlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00772428029534463716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3990332416861666709.post-70634636501101303542017-07-04T15:30:59.231-05:002017-07-04T15:30:59.231-05:00It was in regards to Mommy as they did tamper with...It was in regards to <i>Mommy</i> as they did tamper with the aspect ratio in the film. I can understand where you're coming from for Netflix but I just feel that those who aren't willing to subscribe to Netflix are the ones that are feeling left out and want options of seeing it in some other way.thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3990332416861666709.post-89480699407246345092017-07-04T10:47:00.728-05:002017-07-04T10:47:00.728-05:00Right?

Not everyone can make it out to the movie theaters, so Netflix is a great outlet for those. I always prefer the theater but I also have a young child and getting a sitter isn't always easy. The city I live in also closed all its video stores sans Red Box so their DVD service is how I watch every single film on DVD. <br /><br />I've watched every one of Dolan's films on Netflix and the aspect ratios seem to be what he was going for (At least for Mommy when it was different) so I'm not sure what he's talking about.

I did love the bits in South Korea, and all the performances (though Gyllenhaal's characters strikes me as a brilliant disaster)... maybe it was the juxtaposition of such a sad, serious theme (the food industry), with the CGI super pig running around the city and the quirky characters, idk. <br /><br />Didn't feel smooth, I guess. Can't put my finger on it!<br /><br />That said, the ending (the gold pig) was very clever.
