i like that the rat being poisoned is the eventual metaphor for men leading themselves to self destruction due to their attraction to younger woman but largely it felt like it thought it was more interesting then it actually is. if anything, i do apreciate the fact it definitely inspired someone like bong joon-ho down the line but its not as interested in class conscioussnes then having increasingly more moments that fills its glass to the brink until it spills over. i do really like the performances, especially by Lee Eun-shim and kim jin-kyu and i don't think its actually bad. i do like some of these events and narrative pieces but as a whole puzzle, it lacks a clearer and definitive picture.
