''Freedom within limits''

''Home should be a shelter that can protect us''

Let me start off by stating that this movie has almost nothing in common with Parasite (since I saw many people wondering), besides the fact that it is not for everyone. It is the definition of a visually stunning film that heavily relies on the atmosphere to convey different types of -mostly- negative emotions. The movie gives out a disturbing feeling and it makes the viewers sense that something is very wrong with the family. That feeling is enhanced by the dark color pallet that is used, to make the audience feel even more trapped and suffocated. The acting is great not only from the veterans, but also from the young actors and actresses, that manage to give off a touch of desperation and melancholy to the film. The instrumental is beautiful and the plot is mostly well written, with some twists and turns, especially near the ending. The only reason that this is not rated higher, is because of the way that all the revelations were handled. It felt like they tried to make the viewer understand what happened in a very rushed manner, revealing everything in the end in a way that could be seen as confusing by many. All in all though, it definitely deserves the watch.

STORY

“I just learned a song, I wanna play it for you”

This drama started out a bit confusing.You might see WCT on bad sides with WCQ in a few scene but you can also see them being the best siblings ever.WCT’s character was a bit confusing at first.She was supposed to be YKQ’s “best friend” but she would “threaten” or bring back memories from times to times.BUT I later understood why it was like that.As a Lesle Chen’s movie, it is has some of the biggest and most unexpected plot twists.The story really makes you go on a roller coaster of emotions.It gave you hints here and there but you’d choose to ignore it.My favorite scene is honestly the scene where WCT and WCQ were sitting together and WCQ played a song for his sister.It was really emotional.Another scene was the last scene when YKQ ran back to his home.This story told me that strangers can become family too.Although, it was really weird when PCL(Wang Mom) scared WCQ, I guess she’s possessed?
Something that bothered me was:Did WCQ/CXQ forgot what happened on the day the bus rolled down?why was he surprised when PCL told him that he wasn’t WCQ but CXQ?And what happened to LL?Did she die?wasn’t she in the bus when it rolled down?Maybe there were answers but I missed it.

ACTING
No jokes, everyone did an amazing job.Even people who only showed up for a minute.GFC’s acting was on point.From a mean dad to someone who actually wanted to help someone.DYH was just, awesome, amazing, splendid.XWN did a super duper, really awesome and splendid job.Whether it was when she was acting all crazy or the kind mom.ZZF is really good.She’s nation’s little sister but in here, we can see the mature, older sister version of her.RZS, come on, extraordinary.Not to mention, he was just 12 at the time of shooting.

Music:
More of a personal taste of music but the music was always when it should be.I checked the trailer and I wanted to watch it because of the music shown in it.Not to mention, RZS, WSD(Wang ShengDi) and SPY(Shi PengYuan) sang the theme song too!(Yass, the 3 “bad kids”)

Rewatch:
Idk, I don’t like rewatching things sooooooo maybe it’s different from y’all.

Overall:
The story may confuse you at first, but be patient and you won’t regret it!
Sorry if there’s any grammar mistakes!I’m too lazy to double-check it!
