A place to talk about movies, TV and videos on Farcaster.

Just finished binging my first dorama, a few thoughts:
- the plot was very exciting, kind of a soapy thriller
- the actors are stunning & the acting surprised me with how good it was
- it was cringey at times, but in a good way
- there was A LOT of crying (is that normal for a dorama?)

Which one should I watch next? I heard Mouse is a good one 🤔

I'm continuing my foray into Korean popular media with these two hits:

1. Squid game 🦑
There was a very similar theme with Flower of Evil - basically that it's important to protect the purity of your soul even in life & death situations. Desperately want to find some commentary on that, it felt like a very Christian theme, but maybe it's influenced by something else?

2. Train to Busan 🚉
Zombie movies are probably my least favourite genre, there's really nothing in them except drama and fighting. And the drama part was great! I definitely didn't expect to cry, but I did 🥲

What should I watch next?

I once came across a review suggesting that Squid Game can be interpreted as an allegory of the Last Judgment, where every person is held accountable for their actions:

- Unfair and cruel participants meet their end
- Those who retain their humanity, even partially, are given a chance for redemption.
- The observing elites symbolize forces that do not directly partake in suffering but control it, evoking an image of demonic powers seeking to destroy human souls

Very apt comparison, thanks for sharing 💜
