>South Korean movie>It's about how capitalism is the worst thing everWhy is this so common over there?
>>217355808I was hoping from the thumb nail it'd be an asian version of X-files but somehow better.
>live right next to a socialist dystopian>still whine about capitalism
So many South Koreans wish they were part of communist North Korea. But the evil Americans put up a wall in the DMZ and won't let people cross over.
Korea is made of two nations built on centuries of trauma (Mongols, China, Japan) which is why they always take an extremist self-conscious approach on everything they do.
>>217355808Chaebols are a whole new level of capitalism that we don't have in the west.
was it autism?
>>217355808>me lifting the flowerpot
capitalism has gotten so out of control in south korea that north korea has a higher birth rate lmao >tfw malnourished, poor commies fuck more than their rich neighbors
>>217355808Capitalism IS bad. Just because communism is worse doesn't change anything.
zero media or historical literacy on this board I swear
>>217355968people in developed/rich countries have fewer children and thirdies keep pumping them out endlessly, if you think it's a specifically korean thing you might just be a massive retard.
>>217355968?Thats always been the case with communism. My country was communist and there was nothing to do and abortions were illegal so my grandparents and that generation all had 5 to 9 siblings, they worried if they had food on the table the next day but a family with 4 or less kids was uncommon.
>>217355968Damn, life must be sweet in Africa.
>>217355808Is that the guy from squid game?
>>217356040>People liked capitalism long ago therefore there are no cryptocommies today
>>217355808>having to work for your money is..................re bad
>>217356069Yes
>>217355808Any South Korean kinos that aren't about how much South Korea sucks?
>>217355808They have the Japanese wage slave to death hyper capitalist mentality but also have ugly South Cuckrean women in charge.
>>217355968Yes, I'm sure we can get accurate fertility estimates from a country that's famously transparent about their numbers like North Korea.
>>217356119Capitalists don’t work for money. Their money works for money.
it's great to live as a NEET in SK, receiving government handouts.thanks to every single one of these gooks being full of inferiourity complex, competitiveness, greed and jealousy that i get to lounge in my government housing apartment (much much better and bigger than what the average 20 30 something koreans live in, paying full price) not working and just NEET-ing away.what drives SK's economy is these gooks' consumerism and materialism. i say let them do it.
>>217355808South Korea is ultra capitalistsamsung is like 20% of the GDP
>>217355808There's probably a proverb something along the lines of artists only make art to complain and never for gratitude.
>>217356264It wasn't like that always, that shift in artist attitude began after WW2
>>217356188
>>217356304Not true, you will find plenty of anti-capitalist movies from before the war, even in America.
South Korea is an odd country. It is basically an american satellite state that was pumped with so much economic stimulus that they basically time travelled over 2 generations from a backwards traditional confucian society to a hypercapitalist hellscape. This completely mindfucked the koreans so bad that theyre now on the brink of extinction. This is why India is superior. India is growing slow and steady and they will win with patience. Speedrunning society as hard as Korea did is akin to a deal with the devil
>>217356538>t.
>>217355808If they hate it so much why don't they defect to their northern neighbors?
>>217356264Problem, bootlicker?
>>217355808PCW only leaned into doing that because he really wants the western award recognition that Parasite recieved. Yes, he has been wanting to do this movie since before Parasite, but no doubt this is more awards minded than it would have been if he managed to get it made 10 years ago. It is still kino though.
>>217355808They’re taking over and had laid their literal stake in the ground with a holocaust museum
>>217355808Corporatism. why do NPC's regurgitate propagandistic talking points?
>>217355846I'm sorry, anon. I'm so, so sorry.
>>217358012why didn' that future come to be?the one where other people picked up the torch and made better stuff than us?
>>217358205Every day we stray further and further from quality and competency.
>>217358205It did. They did.
>>217355808Because south korea is a dystopian shithole ran by chaebols.
Ahem
This is because the Korean film industry is as liberal left as the Hollywood.If you look at the korea box office revenues in 2025, not even Koreans themselves, likes the self-indulgent anti-capitalist films made by the Korean liberal.While koreaboo may not be popular, the younger generation of Korean men actually prefers Japanese anime and video games. This is because their entire pop culture is entirely geared towards women, and Japan is the only place where they can find entertainment that satisfies the desires of young men.
>>217355808Is the guy in the middle the Tom Hanks of Korea? I see him in everything and I don't even watch Korean movies
>>217358582>the younger generation of Korean men actually prefers Japanese anime and video gamesBut do they still like kpop?
>>217358582They aren't liberal. They are old left wingers like the vast majority of artists.
>>217358582#7 looks cool what is it called.
It's because they're a few generations ahead of the curve from how capitalism has progressed, and in this late stage of commodification the individual is essentially atomized and erased which leads to depression and withdrawal.
>>217359783What does that mean?I thought they were in this trouble because they were in the late stage of feminism, and their first female president was a part of a Men Bad Women Good shamanistic cult.
>>217355862They will shoot you if you the to cross into the North over the border from the south side. It isn’t widely reported obviously but if you google ‘how to defect to North Korea’ there are tons of examples telling you not to do that. The two countries are still defacto at war which is also why all men have to do military service in the south.
>>217355808China insidiously overthrew their right wing government and is literally having the true president publicly executed opSouth Korea has fallen to the communistsIts another China puppet nowCommies always go through the media first
