Judgement

❝I've been listening to what you're all saying, and I'm getting kind of curious. Why would you all wish this dead girl was your kid? Wouldn't you wish she's someone else's kid and your daughter is still alive? If you love her so much...❞ 𐄁──── ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ.────𐄁 A very compelling short film from Park Chan-wook that's as poignant as it is bleak. It highlights themes of greed and fate while also providing a critique of capitalism done in a pretty gruesome way, and it's an example of early versions of Park's signature dark humour and cynical perspectives on human nature that a lot of my favourites of his later works contain. I don't know if I got all of the dialogue because I'm pretty sure the subtitles on the video I found left out a lot, but on the whole Judgement is a great and quite thought-provoking short film I'd recommend watching.
