Gisaengchung (2019)
Great in so many ways
The 2019 film "Parasite" is as simple as a stroke of brilliance by director Bong Joon-ho. The film perfectly encapsulates its message of classism in way that few would find offensive or biased. As both the Lower Class Parks and Upper Class Kim's are shown as living their lives to the best of their abilities. The classism perpetuated by the Kim's truly does not seem intentional, but rather from their misguided views about the world that simply leave them unaware of the suffering of lower class families such as the parks. One scene that beautifully encapsulates this unintentional ignorance of the Kim family is the scene of the rain. While the Kim's see the beauty of a rainy season saying that their son loves the rain. The Park's see the world completely differently, as the flood quite literally is a hazard and a destroyer of the park's sub basement living space. Even when a character looks evil such as the former house keeper and her husband, their motivations fit with their situation. When Chung Sook threatens to call the police, Moon Gwang is left with no other choice then to snap the picture of the family and threaten to expose the Park's. Near the end of the movie Geun Se goes on a murder spree but only as a way of revenge for the park's unintentional murder of Moon Gwang.
Animaniacs: Warners Unbound/How to Brain Your Dragon/Suffragette City (2020)
First segment falls flat but the last fires back
Overall, I would say this episode was slightly worse then the opener. Particularly with first segment putting the Warnes as gods in ancient Greece who put Odysseus on his infamous odyssey. I felt most of the humor in this segment flat for me particularly at the end with the last "Task". The middle segment of pinky and the brain went out without a hitch, with the humor landing and story very concise and well put together. However by far the last segment of the episode saved it. The segment on suffrage was a great way to recognize that only 100 years ago did women get the right to vote in this nation. I particularly enjoyed the twist layed into this segment, to make it more entertaining then just a history lesson.
Animaniacs: Jurassic Lark/Suspended Animation Part 1/Of Mice and Memes/Suspended Animation Part 2 (2020)
They're back
The first episode of the animaniacs reboot, was definitely not a let down. While the jokes, were not the funniest. The show definitely had the characters catch up on the all history they missed in the twenty two years. I think the show did a great job of the catching up of this song and particularly with the opening lines in the Jurassic park scene. The reboot song, showed cartoons long standing history of making jokes at the expense of their parent companies or Hollywood in general. I definitely think this episode of the show will not be the best of the season, but I had no qualms in saying it is a worthy season opener.
