@lety@doesstuff.social she doesn't have the information she needs to work out where she stands or what her truth is. the reason that makes her friends suspicious of her is that rumi didn't let them in to her problem. she would have long ago without her aunt's influence i also don't think the kpop group singing takedown in the credits was meant to validate the intent of that song given how much the film shows it to have been harmful. i think they mostly did it because they liked the song & wanted a full version

@Yza@plush.city I have literally rewatched this movie since I made this post and am actively looking at the transcript for the film right now and the singular line that even slightly supports “up until this movie jinu seemingly never assisted gwi-ma, so i think a reasonable inference is that we're mostly just seeing the worst of them” is Gwi-Ma saying “I know you, Jinu. In 400 years, you've never done a single thing that didn't serve yourself.” Which is far from unambiguously supporting your point. As you said, there are a lot of maybes at play in the conclusion you have arrived at. Completely objective are every statement I made in the post you are replying too. And while I can infer plausible worldbuilding that was possibly better represented in the minds of the movie's writers, the fact remains that the published film, by even your own admission, carries very negative implications against Gwi-Ma's victims. These negative implications result in awful moral messaging with regard to how systematically persecuted minorities are treated in the narrative.
