Regardless how you feel about the movie itself, there’s no denying the cultural impact this thing had in the late 90s.  One of the few movies deserving of the “epic” label.

The best crime thriller of all time.  It’s so perfect I almost feel like a simple review doesn’t do it justice.  It’s the kind of movie that gets you excited just to think about.  Every character is memorable in their own way and acted to perfection.  So many times during the movie I was in awe at how beautiful the cinematography was.  The frame towards the end of the two men at the end of the train tunnel was so fucking beautiful it was like a painting.

It’s Bong’s masterpiece, which some people might disagree with because of Parasite.

First Cow is built on a foundation of subdued hyperrealism, an internal battle between serenity and a simmering apprehensiveness that’s ready to explode.  The almost lo-fi production quality is the perfect complement to the emotional complexity. You aren’t sure what’s right, what’s wrong, who’s good, or who’s bad.  One thing is clear though. In a grimy, muddled world filled with abhorrence and deception, something as simple and beautiful as friendship can fill life with meaning.

This is going to be the only TV show I review on here, because it might just be the best damn TV show of all time.
