Pachinko is kino of the year. I will never stop shilling it. That show made me cry my fricking eyes out more than once.

It's criminally underrated. Even my aznbros haven't heard of it, but I'm still spreading the good word.

I'm only 20 minutes in and it feels like there's an Ode to My Father vibe to it :marseytears:

Ooh I'll have to watch that. I have found a real strong fascination with kinos dealing with Japanese/Korean poverty. Maybe because most mainstream media from those countries kinda whitewashes that stuff away, but movies like Shoplifters and Nobody Knows have this particular vibe I'm very receptive to. So Pachinko was made for me, and it has the huge Apple budget behind it to fully flesh out the world, like no expense was spared.

Pay attention to how every shot is framed. Almost everything is shot in a medium closeup. They shot the whole show in Canada on a fake set :marseyrake:
