"Korean Satirical Masterpiece on Social Classes"
When the impoverished "parasites" its way towards the privileged, a comedy of avoid getting caught is off to set everyone for a thrillride. The Kim family takes shot at a gullible Park matriarch to slowly infiltrate their household taking advantage of their wealth to complement their living. Everyone, however, would be shocked when the mystery of the house is revealed.
The rain is viewed as a blessing by the rich but an inconvenience to the poor. We live where wealth of the rich is off to be spent for luxury while the poor is set to spend their money for necessities. We see how the rich stays at the top disgusted at the appearance (smell) of the poor. On the other hand, we see the poor reliant on those people above them despite all the hardships and discrimination thrown at them. "Parasite" explores such stratification of our society in great detail, opening the eyes of each one to the reality existent that is in dire need of attention and resolution to implore the equality or equity that everyone has been fighting for so long.
Everything about "Parasite" highlights how equally good Asian movies are with those from the West. It doesn't need English to make the audience comprehend what the film is ought to share. Bong Joon Ho's direction is masterful and deserving of emulation by aspiring filmmakers. The ensemble of actors are equally amazing, each I fell in love for how distinct and relatable their personalities are. The ambitious production design and its accompanying orchestral score acts as a unique character of their own in this movie. Each scene transcends an experience as if you are awed by paintings and sculptures at the gallery at the same time electrified by a roller coaster of rides at an amusement park. In fact, the scene involving the Kim family hiding and escaping the Park family amazed and thrilled me in a way unlike no other.
"Parasite" is one of the best films in modern cinema. It doesn't demand a Hollywood / English remake because it already is perfect just the way it is. Like Bong said, once we overcome the barrier of subtitles, we will be introduced to so many more amazing films. "Parasite" is truly the highlight and pinnacle of Asian filmmaking.
Here are some details you ought not to miss:
1. The Jessica Jingle
2. Kim Family Watching The Rain
3. Dark Comedic Lines
4. The "Namgoong" House
5. Musical Score
6. Hiding Like Cockroaches
7. Da-Song's Birthday Party
8. Ambitious Yet Hopeful Ending
