Parasite (Bong Joon-ho, 2019) Movie • Page 8

So getting out of this last night I thought “that was great, but I think the hype was too much...” and since then I literally haven’t been able to get it out of my head. I am dying to see it again and won’t be able to til sunday.

 

Idk that anything is gonna pass once upon a time for me just cause that was such a singular experience for me but this is #2 with a bullet.

 

Believe the hype

 

Once Upon a Time is undeniably great but this is way, way better imo

OUAT is an excellent ode to cinema but this has much more to say (not that they’re comparable or anything)

 

I found Once Upon a Time super entertaining but it didn't like.. move me emotionally at all.
feel the same about all of Tarantino's films that I've seen (barring Basterds)

 

Idk what to say I’ve seen it seven timesz

 

What a dumb dodo:

Bong Joon-Ho's Acclaimed Satire 'Parasite' Has Nothing Much to Say

 

Bound to be some hot takes with the massive praise it's receiving.

 

This is a very lazy, cold take, tho.

 

Yeah that’s CinemaSins-level garbage criticism. Which that site looks like some weird shithole anyway so who cares

 

lol I had to stop after the second sentence because it was so incorrect

 

But somehow it was the third thing that came up when I typed in Parasite into Google News.

 

I must be an absolute idiot because this review is 100% how I felt coming out of this movie.

Entrancing tension start to finish. Then just left going “so?” when it was over.

 

What do you think the movie was trying to say?

 

eat the rich

 

Exactly

 

Probably my favorite moment is the mom saying something to the effect of "If I was rich I'd be nice too, I'd be nicer than her" and then shoving the dog away from the food

 

2018: Shoplifters -- Japan, somber drama, naturalistic, basic theft
2019: Parasite -- Korea, comedy/thriller, basement dwellers, increasingly elaborate fraud

 

Thank you for reminding me that I still need to watch Shoplifters.

 

I feel the exact same way, and feel The Lighthouse was the opposite of this

But man, this was such a trip. Just had no idea where the story would go, which really helps keeping you engaged in the story. I assume this was filmed in Seoul?

 

I loved this so much but I loved the lighthouse more.

 

And there weren't any plot holes, at least from what I could tell

 

Also, what did the rock/stone symbolize? And did the title of the movie basically represent what the poor family did to the rich one?

 

Desire for wealth, and yeah
