This movie really opens your eyes to the reality. It holds such an important message and even though the animal is fictional, the story isn't. The animal and the kid are wonderful, Okja, the CGI character, is remarkably executed. However, the movie has such a predictable story line and there's one thing I don't acctually get. In the end, Nancy Mirando gives the girl her pig for money. How on earth a genetically mutated pig is worth less than that small gold statue? Given that THEY refused to sell them to anyone and only rented them out but in the end, she decides it's OK to just sell the animal. There's another thing, though: the "ALF" needed to make some high-tech device to sneak in using Okja but in the end, they walk right in. No guards and the door wasn't even locked and you're telling me that they have this much trouble getting into these buildings when a little girl managed to do it with little to no effort? It just doesn't make sense. Yet, Okja is still worth a watch; it is surprisingly funny, eye-opening and personally one of the best Netflix has to offer.
Okja it´s a movie about a new especies that is delivered to 26 different places to be raised and 10 years later comeback to a compettition to see who is the biggest one. It shows the history about Okja, witch is one of the big pigs, raised by Mija since she was a child and after the 10 years she has to be take back to the competition and Mija obviously doesn´t want to "give" to then. THis story really open your eyes about the meat industry and the fake advertising that they make. I´ts a great story but the way they tell end becoming actualy a little boring in my opinion, and they could have given more detais about some especific events that make the history less realistic.
Okja is an eye opener to me. After I watched it I told my husband I wouldn't it pork already because you'll realize that this animals have feelings too.I have 6 dogs and if anyone would try to kill them or eat them or anything, I wouldn't do what to do to that person.Okja is a movie that will teach you the meaning of friendship and loyalty and love.It will teach you that the world is still unfair but we just have to move on with our lives and just accept that there are some harsh realities.Okja is touching, heartfelt and one of a kind.It's also about sacrifice (at the latter part of the story) to save someone dearly to you.Hope to watch more movies like this that will teach you to be more HUMAN in life.
Animal rights activists seem to love looking at animals getting slaughtered; it's a bit weird. Plenty of that in this movie. Now I just want to eat a little piggy.
