The King of Pigs (2011)
Directed by Yeon
Sang-ho this animated film has voice acting from Yang Ik-June, Oh
Jun-se and Kim Hye-na. A struggling ghost writer reconnects with an
old friend from school, they go over the bullying they suffered and
the boy that tried to protect them.
This film goes pretty
far into the dark corners of the human experience as it explores some
brutal bullying, issues of class in Korea and the response of those
not mature enough to know what to do. The story is unsettling and
depressing but a good watch. I liked the animation style but it is
not that remarkable.
4/5
