...but does it emerge out of an unforeseen cavity like magic?
I'm not sure what's so wrong with being concise and deliberate when creating a movie. It's true at the macro level Bong Joon Ho was making a sci-fi adventure but that doesn't mean he needs to water down the movie at the micro level. The dialogue invited us into the perspective. You mentioned that the story only holds emotional merit because it covers a young Korean girl with a CGI pig. There have been heaps of movies made that are grounded in real-life dialogues; young farm girls (or boys) forming bonds with animals in their care. It's refreshing to see the story with fresh faces. The story of big business and exploitation agains the environment is always a story worth telling. Even Tilda Swinton's first character portrayal, Lucy, is at the mercy of big corporation and mass production. It's less about eating animals and more about the gross over manufacturing of animals. When documentaries take on the narrative the only people watching are the people that are already on board. What a gift that the conversation can be opened up to other mediums. We should all be slapped in the face with this information. Do a little research on where your food comes from and you'll be scared to eat your next meal. Or perhaps it is prudent and evolutionary for us to keep our heads in the sand or we will starve.
