'Parasite' Wins Big At Oscars, Makes History

Bong Joon-ho’s masterfully devious class satire took Hollywood’s top prize at the Oscars Sunday night, along with awards for best director, best international film and best screenplay.

[@al6243]

Boon Joon-ho, for a person that directed "Parasite", "Mother", "Okja", "Snowpiercer", and "Memories of Murder", he looks very sweet.

[@jaeyeunpark1286]

Memories of murder is best!

[@giot8067]

I bet Martin Scorsese would have liked the win but I feel like Boon Joon Ho’s win and mention of him in his speech means more. This is concrete, history making proof that he is leaving a legendary legacy behind with his work. And I think you can tell that he realizes that by the look on his face.

[@closed582]

The movie is about inequality which is an universal issue. But, as a Korean, I believe that the inequality in S. Korea feels much intensified because of unique social issues in S. Korea (degree inflation, competitive culture, etc); partially described in the movie. The book called “South Korea: Price of Efficiency & Success” is great to read about the reality in South Korea.

[@orlein]

Movie Parasite is exceptional, great movie. But Bong's past movies were wonderful as Parasite. Please watch them with subtitles.

[@Naminski1a]

No wonder why this independent movie has won an Oscar® for two categories: Best Foregin-Language Film and Best Picture. That’s why they have three American independent production companies have won an Oscar® for Best Picture: 1. Spotlight (2015) from Open Road Films 2. Moonlight (2016) from A24 Films 3. Parasite (2019) from Neon Films

[@mensrea1251]

Naminski “aight” imma head out...

[@won1853]

Neon is only the NA distributor. Parasite was produced by Barunson E&A, a Korean company.

[@jheartu7036]

It’s not independent movie. Bong has been directing big movies over 20 years in Korea and have been being suggested by Hollywood for long time which he has been rejected.

[@Naminski1a]

By the way, you can call me Mr. Independent.

[@aaronshouting588]

He’s come a long way for this well-deserving award! I remember watching Barking Dogs Never Bite for the first time when I was in middle school and have been obsessed with his work ever since. All of them from Memories of Murder, The Host, Mother, Okja, Snowpiercer, and now PARASITE?? Absolute genius!!!

[@Rachel-bb1yt]

Bong joon ho is a great person the father of the actor who played the roll of the housekeepers husband was a huge fan of director bong and the actor song gang ho but unfortunately he had to go through alot because of lung cancer when director bong found out he showed the movie first to him even though it was before the preview of the flim sadly the father of the actor has almost gone blind now but he was greatful that he could have able to watch bong's flim before he's a great director and a great person too

[@ArtificialPerson]

Everyone talking about Parasite's "triumph" but it was the Oscars "triumph" imo to finally look past language or nationality to vote for the best movie they watched that year, that's the real milestone. Parasite has its own value, it doesn't need the Oscars to validate its mastery, the Oscars needed Parasite to prove they really care about the movies (and not just about patting each other's back).
