I watched the movie and their plan scares me a lot. The story showed the big difference between the rich and the lower class. There are too much for the rich and too little for the poor.But I admire how they get rid off the employees. It was a clever and scary plan.

I love this movie. I like how they planned to get rid of all the employees. It’s also an eye-opener not to romanticize things like the rain.

I’ve watched this movie and it was really mind-blowing! Natulala talaga ako literal. A lot of symbolisms were presented in the film, especially the economically marginalized community. 10/10 ito para sa akin. ☺️
