17. The Pig Holocaust - Okja

Bong Joon-ho's excellent adventure film concludes with young Mija (Ahn Seo-hyun) striking a deal with evil bigwig Nancy Mirando (Tilda Swinton) to spare her pet superpig Okja's life.

However, as the pair leave the slaugherhouse, they must walk alongside the fenced-off field where hundreds of other superpigs are waiting to be slaughtered.

It's an extremely disturbing sequence that's clearly intended to parallel the Holocaust, but Joon-ho saves the most harrowing moment for last: two superpigs nudge their baby piglet underneath the fence, at which point Okja carries the piglet in her mouth to safety.

I'm not crying, you're crying.
