It has an emotional effect hard to describe. Just sublime.

This film is a lot of things ...

Is it a black comedy ? Yes
A social commentary? Yes
Art? Most definitely..

I can describe Parasite as an appropiatian of art and poetry with Marxism that screams like a Basquiat painting.

Its an uncomfortable film that depicts social and class divide. Its full of metaphors and cultural anecdotes all juxtaposed with morally ambiguous characters that make for an exuberant watch. I really liked how exuberant the whole mood of the movie was even though the viewer is made acutely aware of the darkness looming. Its also not those artsty fartsy silent films where characters talk after 20 mins which was much appreciated.

For the most part -Human beings are truly portrayed as awful and just not worth celebrating. The angle that poverty does not bring virtue and nobilty was generously explored .The characters are grotesque and the dystopian world Bong Joon Ho spins actually makes a lot of sense as well as the dramatic consequence of his characters and the plot.

Its such a flooring watch and deserves all the praise and udulation!

"RESPECT'' if you know , you know...
