The fact that the two poor families were fighting each other was one of the most depressing things about parasite, I was just like dang y'all could easily work together to swindle the rich family and both have enough to live on but no, whoever got into a more powerful position decided they wanna get rid of the other family. It's like the poor people were looking into a mirror and didn't like what they saw so they just wanted to get rid of the image by any means necessary and it all ended with both families losing smh. You see this all the time in real life, poor people lose their jobs but instead of blaming the corporations and the politicians they've bought, they blame immigrants, even though we all know the rich love immigration because they get to exploit immigrant labor. This is how they get poor people to constantly vote against their own self interests: "No you guys are awesome and so are we the rich, we're not the problem, the problem is Mexicans and people on food stamps begging for handouts, they're the ones sucking the life blood out of this country and they deserve your ire".
Apart from the 3 classes in the movie, there's a fourth one: the people the Kims try to present themselves as in the first half, further establishing just how big the class divide between the Parks and the Kims really is.
I heard the stare ending in Memories of Murder also serve as sort of a 4th walll break Since it's based on a real story and the real killer were never captured, he looks at the audience as some sort of message if the killer were to see the movie
That's an interesting take on the last scene of Memories of Murder; makes a lot of sense. I also took it as a super meta take – he knows the serial killer is in the audience, watching the film (since they still hadn't caught him when the film was made), and when he says the killer could be "ordinary" it not only creates a tension with the audience that the killer could be among them watching and they'd never know, (and by extension, killers could be any ordinary we may think we know)
but also a goad to the killer himself: We know you're watching.
Is it the Korean actors or just the style of Korean and many Japanese films that come off as hokey and overly animated, especially when they're pretending to be drunk or angry.
Conclusion: A movie can be really good even though its theme is left-wing garbage that doesn't work in the real world. Ironic that the film maker is South Korean since his country literally pulled itself up from absolute poverty via the free market and very hard work. Meanwhile…just to the north…there is another country that hates capitalism and "shares the wealth" and is an absolute disaster.
What a great series of films! I have always felt that the gap between rich and poor could be solved with a maximum wage. I call my idea the ten factor. If the minimum wage is 11 dollars and hour then NO ONE else can make more than 10 times that, or $110 per hour. Just think how that would make life fair. The rich don't need yachts or mansions, but millions of people need to make enough money to afford a nice place to love and adequate food. The answer is simple: We must outlaw greed, and reduce the gap between the rich and the poor.
I don't think movies need to provide solutions for problems. If you're introduced to a problem and provided with a solution within the same movie, you're going to feel that everything's fine. There is no problem. However, if a movie introduces a problem, but doesn't presume to offer a solution to it, it leaves you feeling sad, angry and disappointed. It makes you feel the problem is real and unsolved, so you need to work on yourself and help others do so in order to improve life.
In a nutshell: "It is the goal of art to ask questions, but answering them is the goal of the viewer." ~ Me
Sisko(DS9): Do you know what the trouble is? The trouble is Earth-on Earth there is no poverty, no crime, no war. You look out the window of Starfleet Headquarters and you see paradise. It's easy to be a saint in paradise, but the Maquis do not live in paradise. Out there in the demilitarized zone all the problems haven't been solved yet. Out there, there are no saints, just people-angry, scared, determined people who are going to do whatever it takes to survive, whether it meets with Federation approval or not.
Well the important of this is this director is wrong about capitalism just like Marx, becasuse both are idiots. Capitalism works, Comunism doesnt. For me he shows not a capitalism country, he shows how is comunis society.
If Parasite doesn't win Best Picture, we'll riot.

Vsauce here
I watched this one then went to watch snowpiercer and man this guy is on point with class commentary
But why is he using the same actors in all of his movies tho? Is it because of low budgets? Plz let me know.
Gotcha!

Spoiler alert for his other movies. Jeez.

하늘에서 국뽕이 빗발친다!!!
Man, I got to see Parasite.

Man this sistem sucks…😔😒

Yo Joon-Ho should direct a fall of a rich man to poverty only to reveal he was in poverty all the time, correct me if I'm wrong
i saw Mother at 16. and let me just say it fucked me up. after okja which is good but not great Parasite is seriously a banger of a movie.
Who's here after Parasite won best picture?

Glad he and his team won Big!! This will hopefully shine a light on so many movies people write off because they have to actually read subtitles.

The best review of Parasite ever.
I love his movies, I was hooked after I saw Memories of Murder for the first time.

Can anyone tell me what’s the name of the foreign song he’s playing towards the end?
