This JUNG_E article contains spoilers.
From Yeon Sang-ho, the director of Train to Busan, JUNG_E is a sci-fi drama set in a dystopian future where the Earth has been ravaged by climate change and is no longer habitable. Humans are forced to abandon the planet for man-made shelters in space, though not every shelter is on board with their proposed leadership. What remains of humanity becomes engulfed in a civil war between the Allied Forces and the Adrian Republic.
But there’s more to JUNG_E than war games and big CG-laden battles. Deep down, Sang-ho’s newest film is about the ethics of AI bred for war and the commercialization of death. JUNG_E tells the story of Captain Yun Jung-yi, a legendary soldier whose failed final mission leads to her brain being cloned by a military AI development company, Kronoid, in an effort to design the ultimate robotic soldier in her image.

In the wake of Bridesmaids (2011) and its worldwide success at the box office, we've seen a slight uptick in comedies that revolve around women. This summer movie season alone, we've already seen the rowdy Rough Night and Girls Trip, both released by Hollywood studios, as well as Canadian indie Girls' Night Out and ... er ... anything else? Ok, so, not much of a trend, really. Still, the tendency might be for potential (male) viewers to reject another comedy featuring four women in the lead roles.

For those of us familiar with the specific affair, we know spending an entire night in six-inch stilettos is less than ideal. The first couple hours fly by (because you're dancing up a storm), but around hour four it's inevitable your feet might start to scream for help. To skip the whole having to wear a Band-Aid for the next week thing, you might want to consider swapping your old shoes for some more comfortable options. So let Bella Hadid, Heidi Klum and other style stars inspire a new kind of night-out footwear. Start scrolling...
