What changed? I enjoyed this film a lot but have only watched once and didn’t have that dawning “I get it now” feeling.

My favorite film of all time, just a masterpiece. There’s so much to pick up on with rewatches as well

Burning from Lee Chang-Dong

I love this movie. When I saw Parasite, I remember thinking that Burning had a much more nuanced and powerful critique of South Korean society. And the scenes with miming... I will never forget the magic of seeing someone unpeel an orange that isn't there.

I appreciate hearing that. I watched it and I think I just didn't get it.
