Sadly Over-hyped

Far from Perfect, Far from Terrible

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Okja it´s a movie about a new especies that is delivered to 26 different places to be raised and 10 years later comeback to a compettition to see who is the biggest one. It shows the history about Okja, witch is one of the big pigs, raised by Mija since she was a child and after the 10 years she has to be take back to the competition and Mija obviously doesn´t want to "give" to then. THis story really open your eyes about the meat industry and the fake advertising that they make. I´ts a great story but the way they tell end becoming actualy a little boring in my opinion, and they could have given more detais about some especific events that make the history less realistic.

Animal rights activists seem to love looking at animals getting slaughtered; it's a bit weird. Plenty of that in this movie. Now I just want to eat a little piggy.

The middle of the movie was very depressing when Okja was forced in the lab however what really got me was the ending how the baby had to be separated from the parents to survive. It really messed with my brain and I couldnt stop crying for at least ten minutes. The more i tried to speak the worse I cried. Thought it was going to be a cute movie but was wrong and homestly this movie could probably turn me vegan.

Okja is a fairy tale about a big pig and a little girl. The whole atmosphere of the movie is dreamy like and the plot does give out a fairy tale feel, with some innocence touches that got smashed in the end, but overall, an enjoyable result. My main concern was the special effects that, if they weren't as good, would have ruined the movie, but they were actually good. The performances were really good as well, and the language switching was okay for me, but I'm used to watching Korean movies as well as western, so it wasn't something new for me, but I can see why some people might get bothered. Other than that, this movie was very entertaining, so 8 out of 10.
