I don't understand why the busan judge love it. Completely boring and meaningless

First, im a Vietnamese. I lived in Saigon (HCM city) for 4 years, since 2012-2016, and Saigon in my memories is a beautiful city. People live with hope, and joy. But in the movie, everyone in this movie do not has a job. They just gambling, gangs??? The judges are forgein, so they misunderstand about my country. The award is a joke, just like Messi Ballor O'dor in 2010.

It make me wish to watch it again on the big screen. You won't regret watching this movie. It has a little bit like Parasites but different in its own ways. I first watched the movie with a bad feeling thought it had been cut a lot since the Busan cut and the movie would be bad but I was really really wrong, one of the best film I have watch.

You should watch Rom similar movies. Examples: Hereditary, Burning, Midsommar, American Psycho. No opening nor ending, confusing content, ... The movie isn't bad, you just don't have enough knowledge to understand it.

I mean when it actually ends and I feel like I have escaped that the movie

The film really took me on and off for a ride of emotions, especially for someone who had a time living with people who strived their way out of situations as bad as the characters in the movie was. I found the movie to be incredibly realist, and that angle was delivered by totally beautiful scenes. It is true that there are plots where the films get a bit confusing, which was explained to be due to necessary cuts in order to be approved by the government, which also was the reason that leads to the poor characteristic development in the characters. But in general, how the film is delivered really got me and it definitely deserves all it receives by now!

You should go to theaters and watch this movie right away!

This was way too long, even at the mere 79 min runtime. It was just the same thing over and over again, and it got boring and depressing. It didn't even make much sense how any of these numbers written on a piece of paper go towards betting. You will struggle finishing this one. This would've been better as a documentary. I will say though that it was well shot and certainly shows the slums of Vietnam. The amateur kid actors performed well. Nvm all the bogus high reviews, it's a generous 5/10 from me.
