Looking at how Lee Dong-jin usually critiques films

‌He catches even the smallest props placed in the background of a movie and uses them to provide plausible interpretations.
He is the type of person who enjoys flaunting the legitimacy of those interpretations by utilizing his cinematic knowledge.
You can tell just by watching one or two of his film analysis videos on YouTube.
Are you telling me a person this meticulous missed the metaphorical scenes in "Assassins" that implied the President ordered the assassination?
This means the excuse he posted this time is a blatant lie.
If he were the type of person who was usually careless and posted critiques without properly watching movies, I would accept it as just being who he is.
But for someone who usually boasts about interpretations even the director hadn't thought of by picking up on the tiniest details, he is essentially acting like a fool this time.
