Name of the movie you are reviewing: Parasite

The film is the story of two completely different social classes - the rich or the poor, or the lower class. While one side can enjoy all the best in the world, the servant, the lower class is the one who has to live in poverty, no work, no food and must find ways to exist even deceive others.

Review:
The script is very well-built, following the development sequence from the suggestive, into the official story, to the climax and to the end. Viewers will quickly be caught up in the story of two families, how rich people trust the introduction of "acquaintances" and how "acquaintances" take advantage of the kindness of the rich to step forward.
The director slowly brought the audience into a seemingly simple yet surprising story with impressive twists with moments of stress so intense that he could not breathe or be afraid to erect his hair.
At the beginning of the film, the audience will get funny and cheerful laughter from members of the poor family. With their intelligence and intellect, they in turn plan to create jobs for each member of the family, escaping unemployment. The twisted situations they encounter during that process make viewers laugh out loud. However, intellect is not used in the right place at the right time, so there have arisen situations where we often say "going to a ghost day".
Later, the movie became more and more attractive, making the audience not dare to take their eyes off the screen for fear of missing out on the most important details in the film. The situation "flip trough" full of ghosts without any warning signs, the comedy element fades away instead of a bit of the direction of the horror genre combined with action to bring suspense and anxiety. sedate, panic and full of obsession.
The final ending brings the audience back to the vicious cycle, except that "The Parasite" belongs to another person. The director of the film shows a clear message: if you do not make your own efforts, life will not be better because luck cannot follow forever.
The image of the blood-sucking "parasite" is portrayed truthfully with situations hidden under a bed, a leg or in a humid, humid basement. All these images highlight the gap between rich and poor, and the rich will always have judgments about the poor from their own perspective.
Parasites is one of the few award-winning film productions at the international film festival that receives high praise from the audience. Often these works are more artistic and difficult to conquer the taste of the audience. The Parasite has proven the opposite with 8.6 / 10 points on IMDB and 98% fresh scores on Rotten Tomatoes - these are extremely high numbers for an Asian film.
The film has a lot of character lines, but every actor fulfills his role excellently.
In a rich family, the couple occupies more waves than their two children. The wife is a typical, gentle and trusting housewife; From her face, actions and gestures clearly show that. But the husband with the shifty eyes of the trader will make the audience sometimes startled to change the play of the poor family because those eyes seem to be able to see through the truth all things.
The performance of the members of the poor families is also shown very well. The boy has a immature face that suits the gentle and honest character in the first half of the film, but the later the eyes show the malice of a person who does not resign to fate; Especially, the final scenes after leaving the hospital were very well performed by Lee Kwang Soo in the ideal younger brother. Her younger sister is the most cunning person in the film but the one who suffers the most tragic ending, her aristocratic temper and calm personality are very suitable for this character. The wife has the image of a true low-class woman in society, the awkward nature of women who have a need to eat more than they earn and her face when walking. the rich world makes it difficult for the audience to see well. Finally, the husband with the classic face of the flattery, because of some boss's words that acted so despicably, ended up in a situation that he once despised.
All of the characters in the movie are good at acting, but the most impressive thing for Touch Cinema is the old butler and her freeloading husband for many years. The image of her pressing the doorbell at night made many viewers cold-hearted, especially the half-smiling and half-smiling face made the audience unable to stop thinking about the dangerous things to come when the door was opened. And the husband, although the movie time is extremely short, it was enough to make the audience cold, especially the sinister half-mouth laugh suddenly emitted in the dark night.
Touch Cinema also highly appreciates the image of the movie, all the frames are extremely linked and impressive, so even though the film scene mostly occurs in two houses, it brings a lot of emotions. different, absolutely not boring. I've been following Korean movies for a long time, but Touch Cinema has never seen a film that can pay attention to very small details even though those characters are out of the frame; For example, when the housekeeper was kicked out, the light bulb inside the basement was turned off, which is obvious because when she got out of the frame, she went back to her work and turned off the light when not in use. of the butler - small details that show the sophistication and meticulousness of director Bong Joon Ho. Most impressive in the film is the scene when the basement house is flooded and the toilet, which is the most impure place in the family, becomes the most ideal shelter.
The sound of the film is also handled well with the sounds portrayed honestly, from the sound of the rain falling, the snoring of the homeowner in his sleep to the murky atmosphere in the basement. All are beautifully depicted.

*SPOILER*
It is not difficult to recognize the habit of blaming and hating the rich of the poor Ki-Woo family. Even in the beginning of the movie Parasite, when they ruin 25% of the pizza boxes but only get 10% of their pay - they still bring their poverty to pity "Our family is poor. This way, but you still have the opportunity to deduct ” In any situation, this family thinks that their poverty is due to fate and to someone other than themselves.
The following developments are extremely reasonable with this psychological trend of poor father Ki-Taek: from the annoyance of Mr. Park when Mrs. Park goes to the supermarket without looking at the price until he feels he is despised because smelled poor, then he took the knife and stabbed his boss Park - who is paying to support his family. This development is a psychological form: I am miserable, you cannot live peacefully.
So why did the person he chose to marry was the boss of Park and not the other members of the Park family: Because that was the key person who made money for the Park family, the only one who went to work to raise his wife and children. When attacking a host, any dangerous parasite knows how to attack the heart or the brain so the host dies as quickly as possible.
After Mr. Park's death, Mrs. Park and her children probably sold their luxury house because it was not as economical as the husband lived. That would satisfy Mr. Ki-Tea's mentality of getting rich people down
Through this paragraph again discusses two types of parasites in the film: one is the butler family - this species lives on its host but is always grateful. The wife was devoted, the husband typed Moocs code daily to thank Mr. Park for feeding. The second type is the Ki family: Not only do they cling to the host, they also intend to own the whole house and kill the host if the same way.
The main character in the movie Parasite is Ki-Woo. It was the bland boy who had nothing more than talent. At first he appeared to be the most faint of the whole family: he was not as agile as a mother, his gestures were more clumsy than his father, his demeanor was not as cool as his cool sister.
But as the film progresses, he becomes more and more clear about the character that manipulates the entire Parasite movie circuit. From getting ready to rob a friend of her best friend (Miss Park's lady) to get rich, to take the stone to kill her butler's husband.
In all the actions, Ki-Woo performed with a big malice in a gentle appearance that caught people off guard. study abroad, who suspected to deliver eggs to evil)
The film circuit revolves around Ki-Woo very clearly. At the beginning of the film, he did not pass the university 4 times and still was confident, "This is not a fake degree, next year I will pass the exam to this school, I will only print it out first," in the middle of the film he wished " If I groom this house ... ”,
At the end of the movie Parasite ends with him sitting in his cramped cellar after his father is in prison, his plan is "I will make a lot of money to buy that luxury house," Father can step up properly. "
But after all, even when his father was in prison and his sister died, he never stepped up to own the house or make a living, but it was all a plan he told himself in his mind. Not once has he worked to achieve that plan or to carry on his family despite being a healthy, smart, handsome young man.
But life is, as his father said: Don't plan, life will never work the way we want.
At this point, the impermanent theory of Asia, which is the underground circuit in the film, has emerged smoothly: life always includes things that people cannot expect. When Ki-Woo, the main tutor, did not expect the story to go so far, the owner of the party did not think the fun event would turn into such a disaster.
And the most important is the stone that he gave Ki-Woo: The stone brings luck in terms of money but also brings disaster. Without the initial fortunes, the Ki-Woo family will only live in poverty, not to the point where the dead, the fleeing, the people have brain surgery.
Through the events, the stone remains the same, the luxurious house has not changed but the fate of people has been different - The message of impermanence is like a thread connecting all events and throughout the film. , clearly demonstrating the Asian philosophy of the film.
Everyone thinks that the rich are happier than the poor. Ok, got it Next movie also thinks so in Parasite. But the movie showed that the lives of the poor Ki family are even happier than the Park.
Ki's wife can fight against her husband as soon as she wants, Park's hostess is always afraid of him. So much so that when she recruited a tutor for her son whose husband was like jewels, she sat so shaky that she could not find herself. What about the boss to Park for his beautiful and luxurious wife: when asked if he loves his wife, he thinks about it a long time and then drops a "Let's say you love"
Ki's sons and daughters all eat together with the family (all Park dining scenes whether in restaurants or in private houses, in Park's family are eating together - all of Park's eating scenes are separate dining scenes), discussed together when the family makes any plans.
As for the Park family, the daughter doesn't even have a scene to talk to her father (Apparently the role of the Park lady in the family is very low), making her always timid in her heart. In my home, my young master Park is always under pressure to live like a genius according to my parents' expectations, although that is not the case.
In the movie it seems to let boss Park express disdain for the poor when they say they smell of "Rotten Radish" and "Rags". But why don't we criticize the poor when they say the rich smell of Channel or Gucci. The two statements are reflecting the truth, the saying is good and the criticism is bad?
Mr. Park is also a normal person. For example, you, do you dare to drink with the cup of a beggar who has just finished drinking? When people get used to the scent, seeing the smell of the poor immediately finds out and says what they feel is wrong ???. Aroma is praised, foul is not it? Which book says so?
Basically, this guy died a little unfairly: just because he dared speak ill behind the wrong people. This black man met the poisonous nest right away, opened the mouth and it bitten to death.
