    I might have found my new favorite Korean film! I mean wow, there's just so many layers to all this. I'm so glad I went into it blind. I didn't know what to expect. Granted, I knew Bong would do his usual genre blending, but the fact he did his usual critique of the class differences in South Korea while also making me bust a gut?

    Now this was definitely something!!! While I'm not a big Scorsese fan, I do usually like his style. The way he builds his characters (even if I can't stand them, like Henry Hill. There's also Jordan Belfort, but that's different), the world that they live in (which is usually pretty dark. However, that's kind of like real life unfortunately), and the fact that they are usually grounded in reality.

    Robert De Niro is Travis Bickle, a lonely cab driver who…
