When asked how he came up with the idea for Parasite during this past award season, Bong would answer with "I have a weird mind", and Okja further exemplifies that. But his mind is equal parts weird and genius. The vehicles he uses to get important messages across in his movies are not only incredibly creative, but also strange enough to make an impression and leave you thinking about what you just saw for months. His use of hyperbole and exaggeration in his work to bring attention to very serious and real issues in today's society is a brilliant mode of storytelling. Had Okja in my watchlist for ages, way before I knew who Bong was... Really glad i've finally watched it, and can't wait to dive deeper into Bong Joon Ho's weird mind, I hope he keeps making great movies!
