20 Best Easter Eggs In 2017 Movies

11. Bin Laden's Assassination - Okja

Bong Joon-ho's terrific Netflix drama Okja features a sequence in which the honchos in charge of the Miranda Corporation watch footage of Mija (Ahn Seo-hyun) and super-pig Okja's escape in Seoul, with the personnel all seated in order to resemble the famous "Situation Room" image, which featured Barack Obama, Hilary Clinton, Joe Biden and various other cabinet members observing the operation which led to Osama Bin Laden's assassination.

Considering how politically pointed the movie is and how Joon-ho hasn't been subtle about riffing on American politics in the past, there's zero chance this was a coincidence. It's easily missed, but an absolute jaw-dropper if you did manage to spot it.
