WTF, HackerNews? All this pretentious pontificating about the deeper meaning of a dark comedy (which could be set in ANY culture or locale with very few changes...) Whats next? A thread about the subtleties of Korean culture revealed in Gangham Style?
Read a book.
The article is a straightforward piece on living situations in Seoul. Maybe next time give it a read before commenting.
In any case, please DO continue ending your comments with those authoritative one-liners. (Such an enigma!)
Ha. Touché.
http://sensesofcinema.com/2017/cteq/raising-arizona/ and https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2014/09/30... discuss this well. https://www.jstor.org/stable/10.5325/studamerhumor.3.1.0001?... looks to be interesting, but is paywalled. Either way, Raising Arizona seems to me to be some great cultural commentary.

That too sounds like an interesting idea: https://www.amazon.com/Theological-Reflections-Gangnam-Style...
