Parasite (Bong Joon-ho, 2019) Movie • Page 7

half of these havent really come out yet but i guess point taken?

 

i'd say it's a comparatively down year for films but it seems like the fall and december will kick things into high gear

 

That’s pretty much the reality of mid-budget not wanting to get swallowed up by a Disney property at this point. Gonna push them all to the end of the year.

 

I find most years a lot of the best stuff comes out towards the end of the year, or at least thats when i usually get it because the UK is always behind.

 

I wish Jarmusch had written even a decent third act for that movie. It could have been amazing.

 

He did though

 

Seeing this tonight. Know basically nothing about it other than it's a Bong Joon Ho movie and I loved Snowpiercer

 

PERFECT! Keep it that way hahaha

the less you know the better.

 

Just got home from seeing this. Wow.

 

I need to lie down

 

Every time I saw the rich son’s Native American tent it made me think of Midsommar

 

My heart was racing I thought that kids tent was gonna get struck by lightning.

 

edit: lol didn't see the same tweet a few posts up

 

finally seeing this tonight~!

 

Hopefully this hits my local regal soon so I can bring all my friends, family, and ex lovers

 

uh holy shit

 

watching this film is like .. feeling every single human emotion

 

Ya'll just saw this, blown away. Some quick thoughts under spoilers before I read this whole thread, HEAVY SPOILERS, DON'T READ THIS IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT.

The first half of the movie was fun, everything after the basement reveal was a whole other level. I never saw something as different as that reveal coming, the husband was great, the fight was amazing, when she brought the peaches back out! That kick! So brutal in all the right ways, over the top but still natural somehow.

And the ending was insane. You could really feel inequality when they're planning this picturesque party and the family is in a shelter. The flood felt so brutal, I was so angry at the rich wife being happy about the rain, and everything with the smells really built up perfectly. I could feel that rage, that contempt, they had no idea what it was like for them, and after watching what happened to his daughter?

The ending was just fantasy I feel like. I knew where the dad would hide, but buying the house felt like a dream while he was in the half-basement.

I was waiting for Min to come back, like those were his parents hiding there or something, all part of the same con.
Incredible film, hilarious, and tense, and dark, and so convincing about the cruelty of such high inequality in the world.

 

Something that hit me last night, there's no scene, or shot, or word, or even breath, that isn't absolutely necessary. I don't think I can remember a movie where everything works, everything logically follows with no filler, and no time is wasted. The pacing and characterization is all pitch perfect.

 

this shot straight to #1 of the year for me I just loved everything about it

 

also I would love a poster of the scene where Ki-jung is sitting on the toilet smoking while everything around her is flooding

 

omg she's too cute
