One of the best movies ever

Parasite lives in the extremes of cinematography, its palettes are not colourful with multicolour but rather paint the most real of pictures of what South Korean societies are like. It is an ode to Director Bong's incredible work that Parasite feels so real and raw.

Parasite questions social inequality in the most of crude of forms, through micro-aggressions, violence, abuse, discrimination and isolation. Every moment of the movie feels like a punch to the gut and it answers and questions notions that is not only limited to South Korea but even beyond the realms. Parasite's imagery, its acting, its message, its want to tell a story will live on like a legend. Decades later the story will live on to still question and rebel.

There is a big hype about this movie, and for a good reason. Unlike those popular films that those days create a buzz because of the action plot and the big names, Parasite is more about the social message that it wants to pass through than a likable story that will appear to the masses.

So, overall, Parasite is good. If you like movies about real people, that are not afraid to show the raw reality and social injustice, than watch this one. It is a roller coaster of emotions, with lighter, more comical moments and more thrilling, suspenceful moments. And the film combines them masterfully and everything works well together. The performances were top notch as well. The story, finally, was well paced and interesting.

well this was kinda crazy

So, I heard about this movie and it was very hyped when it got out and because it got into the Oscar and everything. I heard about it, but I wasn’t actually watching Kdramas yet when it came out. Saw this on Netflix and decided to watch because of the past hype.

not going to lie, the beginning was kinda boring. But I think it’s pretty well written. It was interesting how they all got into the house. It actually got good when they were in the house and the family came back. I was actually stressing so bad, that’s when the story got more interesting and exciting to watch. I was shocked when the basement guy got out, hit the son and started stabbing people. It was even more crazy when he the dad stabbed the rich father. WTF though. Because of the thing about smelling bad ? like I’m sure he did smell bad, just look at him and his house. Also, he made the face and he was holding his nose when he got the keys but SERIOUSLY that man was in the basement for years. of course he must smell like shit if he hadn’t washed himself in months/years. That seemed to had triggered the dad… I was kinda sad, poor family (I’m talking about the rich family). They seemed like good people, I think they were a cute family that obviously loved each other. I loved the parents with the younger child. That scene of them on the sofa caught me off guard.

I wasn’t sad that the girl (the daughter died), I actually think the rich guy death is more sad if I think about it. The main poor family did bad things so, they kinda got what was coming for them

And the ending, bro is in the basement, crazy. It an open ending, which I usually hate… but I think this ending is interesting.

So overall, I think this was not a bad movie, some interesting twists and got excited in the second half. I think the script was well written. But, my rating got a bit down because it was boring at first and I actually feel bad for that family who got ruined because of them.

What a roller coaster

I went into this knowing absolutely nothing other than the fact it has won numerous awards and received a lot of praise. The plot changes quite a bit throughout this film. The first third gives the impression that this is a con artist movie, the second third gives the impression that this is a high stakes thriller with way too many secrets to keep track of, and then by the end it becomes almost like a horror movie slasher. It's not that I disliked any part of this film, but the whiplash I got as we jumped from one plot to another was quite jarring. I spent a lot of the last half of the movie saying "That wouldn't have happened if they would have just...." which took away from my enjoyment a bit. The ending seemed quite random to me, and it left me feeling a bit empty inside, but not the way I prefer when it comes to media usually.

This wasn't a bad film, but I highly doubt I will ever watch it again unless I'm with someone watching it for the first time because I want to see how they react.

My friends and I finally got around to watching this movie last night and it was absolutely insane! It kept us hooked the entire time and we were always wondering what was going to happen next. Unfortunately, I had to mute the movie and turn away during the living room scene (if you've seen the movie, you know which scene I'm talking about) because I was embarrassed to watch that scene with my friends in the discord call, but the movie was still very enjoyable. We really loved the acting most of all.

I'm personally going to have to check out the actors' other works because I was blown away the entire time. Honestly, I'm surprised I'm giving so much praise because I'm not usually one to watch anything within the horror and thriller genres, but I really loved this movie.

This movie very much deserves the amount of rewards it received. I would definitely watch it again if someone asked.

Honestly watching this movie, you can just tell why it received the oscars. Its truly a work of art but at some points it is a bit confusing and it leaves you to interpret a lot of things in your own point of view. Especially the ending which was left bittersweet and yet open for you to give it your own ending. Was his daydreaming something that actually happens in the future or just something he wishes for? I also really wanted to know what happened to the rich family in the end, I was always curious about that and if kiwoo actually liked the daughter or not. It just leaves you wondering and creating your own theories about what the plot and the message is about.

The actors did so well, really amazing performance and it really did deserve those oscars.

Raw and real it’s terrifying!

There might be some spoilers, but mostly, just saying what’s on my heart at the moment.

Every time I finish a movie, there’s a certain feeling of satisfaction or disappointment. Some I finish in tears, but even then, I felt it's just right to end that way. Others, I end up getting disappointed to the point of cursing - demanding for my 2 hrs of wasted time to be given back. But mostly, I end up watching movies I felt very contented with.

Parasite though, it gave me a heavy heart... sitting and watching there for over two hours - how the lives of a family got ruined more than it already was. I don’t blame people for associating the movie with ‘Hell Joseon’ because it certainly was a depiction of it. And let’s face it, it’s not only happening in Korea, but the rest of the world. How the rich get to keep their riches, and the poor keep getting pushed to the edge (if you know what I mean).

Kiwoo’s letter at the end, knowing it was all just wishful thinking and would never come true (based on the theme of the story and well, let’s just say LIFE), only added to my already depressed mood following the tragedy that was called ‘the birthday party’.

Let’s not even get started in talking about justice for Mr. Park and how unfairly he was stabbed in the back (don’t take it literally because you know, he was stabbed in front) but anyway, that’s not my point. My point is, the Park family was nothing but nice. They’re rich, but they treated their workers with humanity. And just because a poor man couldn’t take an insult, he lost his mind and killed a person for it. Is that how cheap life is now? A life for pride? And he was even absolved from persecution because, well, HE FREAKIN' FLED! Can you believe what kind of person he is? I just kept repeating a sentence after this scene - 어이가 없네 (eoiga eobsne)!!!!

It was like a domino of misfortune. The head of the family who was supposed to be the pillar and supposed to protect his family failed at his duty miserably. Not only one, but four innocent lives were sacrificed for nothing. And in the end, nothing has changed.

So, am I recommending this movie? Definitely a yes. It is an eye-opener if you are in your corner refusing to admit the cruelty of life called REALITY. But for those who insist on only seeing fluffy things, skip it.
