yet another solid portrayal of the consequences of late stage capitalism from bong joon ho, this time tackling dehumanization and colonialism, while still being thoroughly entertaining and often funny

The Ugly Duckling

1939

★★★★ Watched

it's weird how society uses "ugly duckling" to mean awkward person who hasn't evolved/been give a makeover yet and not what it's supposed to mean, an othered person who just hasn't found their community yet 

when we saw the duck family again at the end-
my wife, through tears: fuck u all, choke on bread

The Tortoise and the Hare

1935

★★★ Watched

leave those bunny children alone, CREEP!!!!

tortoise wins bc he's not a pedophilic, arrogant misogynist

all these reviews that say the hare is just "stupid" are completely missing the point, it's his hubris/cockiness in feeing the need to show off that leads to his loss, while the tortoise is consistent and focused enough to steal the lead... if u really can't take away this very simple message from a kids' cartoon due to ur patriarchy goggles that's a little sad tbh
