I believe Korea is very similar to our country (Azerbaijan, Turkey). Koreans are also strikingly similar to my own country. It is somewhat true. The family in this film resembles a Turkish-Azerbaijani family. This is a creature film, but underneath it is a serious family drama. Our director, Bong Joon Ho, is already well-known and considered one of the best directors. He even got an Oscar. This film includes criticism of the Korean government, Korean citizens, and civil servants. South Korea's pro-US policy has also received criticism. This film also included elements from my own country. That is why the film is harsh yet sincere. The acting was very good. Yes, the acting in Korean films may appear to be poor due to cultural differences, but this is not the case. Especially the father, Byun Hee-Bong, gave an outstanding performance. The creature's design was interesting. It's also disgusting. I likened the mouth part to the "Predator" creature. When I saw the creature for the first time, I said out loud the line that the character Dutch said in the movie "Predator" when he saw it without a mask for the first time: Anyway, I liked this movie.
