This is such a fascinating case. I had the privilege of being close with some of the Saugeen people during the end of their legal battles.

I had heard through the grape vine that at one point the Saugeen People were willing to settle for half, and the town said no. Now they have ended up with nothing.

Outside of the iconic opening, and some other iconic shots, this film is another that the cultural osmosis doesn't do justice.

It tastes like burning.

And that doesn't address the content it offers.

Reddit stopped being fun last November.

I am not engaging with it as much as I used to, and now I am actively annoyed with it and trying to make Lemmy my default again.

It's true, Korean animation is so lame!

Furthermore, it's people operating withing a system that has failed them.

Hypothetically, where everyone is equal and starting on equal foot, giving everyone morem oney likely would benefit most.

But we don't live in hypothetical land. Those resorting to begging are primarily in a bad state and we'll down the path of mental instability, chronic homelessness, addiction, physical disabilities, or escaping abuse. They don't have the education or mental capacity to make the right choices financially and don't have safety nets to get them on their feet.

 

It's kind of shocking seeing a couple of disabled people get beaten down, but it is worth it as it makes their journey feel real.

But the bad English dub, the one sound effect, and the fight scenes that happen every 5 minutes get laughably bad and boring.

I guess it lived up to the expectations with a name like "The Crippled Masters."
