Ok so Parasite follows the Kim family who end up infiltrating a wealthy elite family under the guise of being something they're not. They very much have a parasitic relationship with them and this is hinted at early on in the movie when we're first introduced to them.
Living in a basement home we catch them in despair as they realise that the person who's wifi they'd been piggybacking off of had now put a password on it. However they manage to pick up a signal in the bathroom which means they can use the free wifi from a copy shop down the road. They're very much parasites of that wifi connection but the similarities to a lowly life form don't stop there.
We catch them folding pizza boxes and they're very much in a symbiotic relationship with a fast food company who require lots of hands in order to do this but they don't have the money to take on full time members of staff. The Kims don't do the job probably and a quarter of the boxes are unusable but the pizza company have no other option which the Kim's somewhat play upon.
Not long after we watch workers spraying pesticide in the street and this is commonly used to kill bugs and parasites. It blows into their basement home and this basement home of course foreshadows some of the reveals that we get in the movie.
After realising their phones have been cut off Chung-Sook asks her husband Ki-taek what his plan is but we never really get an answer. Later on in the film Ki-taek reveals that it's better to not have a plan as plans always go wrong and if you don't have one then nothing bad can happen.
This some what juxtaposes the end of the film in which the son Ki-Woo says that he's making a plan to go to university, become successful and then buy the house so that his father can finally come out of the basement.
I've seen a lot of back and forth over the film, namely whether this ending is something that happens and we'll discuss why it's pretty bad news for the family later on in the video.
Now with the success of Squid Game I thought I'd revisit some Korean classics that really show why the country is currently leading the way when it comes to TV shows and Movies. They just seem to be adept at creating outstanding original stories that are layered with social commentary and Parasite is no different.
The oscar winning film is layered with hidden details, things you missed and a lot of clues that hint towards the eventual reveals that I wanna breakdown in this video.

[@Sarablueunicorn]

The thing is that all members of the family have the qualifications and skills for those jobs but they don't have a "diploma", "status" to actually access those jobs because that's all people care about, they only care about papers and "connections". Even having a diploma or certification is not enough, they still need the "connection recommendation".

[@dunbardunelm3924]

"It's not 'what' you know but 'who'..." 😦

[@TuTu0207]

In the beginning of the movie, the mom comically said "you should have brought food" when they received the stone from son's friend. This draws parallel to when Jessica could have brought food to the man in the basement but instead the son brought the stone, cause the following murders.

[@thefamousdjx]

Well Jessica tried to take food to the basement but Kim lady distracted her.

[@GrandAudio]

One big detail I caught was that when the rich mother and poor father drive home from the grocery store, the father overheard the mother say that the rain (the same rain that flooded and destroyed the Kim’s family’s home) was a blessing because it cleared the grass or something of that sort. An eye-opening thing in regards to people of the higher class becoming blind to the harsh realities the lower class face.

[@grundelgrump]

I think he said something about it washing away the smell of pollution.

[@RAV3.]

Put yourself in there shoes. How would they know that somthing like that happened to the poor people. And would you care enough to check if everyone was in the city was alright after some rain? I'd get annoyed if they knew it caused devastation but they dont so.

[@shmoney6109]

On an upbeat note, Id like to think that the reason the rock doesn't float at the end is because, unlike previous hollow promises, symbolised by the rock which floated, the promise that he makes to buy the house is truly meant and that is why the rock is real in that scene

[@shuashuashuasvt]

for real, that rock in the end scene legit looks like a real rock

[@konanok]

7:18 ngl i probably would have had a seizure too if i saw that in my house so i dont blame this kid at all, literally one of the most terrifying things ive seen

[@rebekahcrossman4690]

I believe the mother playing the current housekeeper who kicks the other down the stairs is a reminder that hierarchy is human nature and those at the bottom who climb up the social ladder are often just as likely to maintain their status by treating the others badly, keeping them from rising.

[@MuscleBound_withDre]

This movie had a lot of “Metamorphosis” by Franz Kafka vibes. Down to the very end in how certain characters switched roles with others.

[@Alfakkin]

I completely agree with you...the way some people live underground like worms or insects...

[@leparraindufromage366]

How so would you say? I'm familiar with Kafka's Metamorphosis but I don't really see any large parallels between the plots because Metamorphosis only focuses on the Samsa family without much interaction with outsiders (aside from Gregor's general manager and the subtenants)? I also feel like they have very different messages and interpretations, so I would be interested in your opinion

[@MuscleBound_withDre]

@@leparraindufromage366 if you view both works of art through the lens of end-stage-capitalism where protagonist/main family have to turn into disgusting creatures to keep up with capitalism and it’s requirements. Metamorphosis - family use the main character as a piggy bank and then when they have no use for him they literally kill him and move on to the younger daughter/sister as a new parasitic relationship through which to live Parasite (literally a parallel to Metamorphosis) - the whole family uses the elite family like parasites disposing problems as they arise because within their capitalistic structure they’d rather Leech off of “hard work” than do any of it themselves.

[@marniejones331]

Daebak! I'm a fan of both and I just noticed

[@tomosheax]

you could even say that the rock statuette has a staircase-like structure to it

[@heavyspoilers]

nice catch

[@damnjae2256]

I'm a big fan of Bong Joon-ho films from recent years. Loved parasite and watched sooo many 'what you missed' videos after watching the movie BUT STILL you added new information I haven't seen in other videos. Thanks for always being so thorough!

[@izbella3556]

I love how this movie explored a different side of an overused topic (rich vs poor). We've seen so many films that cover the black & white, such as the evil corrupted rich taking advantage of the poor. While that's a sad truth, it's only a portion of the real power dynamic in our society. We often overlook how the poor is always fighting with each other when they could be pulling their heads together and help each other. We see so many examples through everyday crime news (all the hate crimes, neighborhood crimes, small business/convenience store robbery). The reality is, most middle-elite class in modern society are just minding their own business. Sure, there's a portion of rich people who are truly evil. But really, the rest of them simply don't give a shit about what's going down in the lower class community. Their main interest is on which company they should invest on next. That means they also have no business in directly harming the poor. At the same time, they casually look down on the poor people living in the same city while also casually donating money to Unicef.

[@miniluc1]

Rich person: hey I didn't directly harm the poor! I just invested 10,000,000 dollars into BlackRock and Lockheed martin!

[@salmansengul]

Black on black crimes come to mind. The media normally disregards that type of crime!

[@spailer5478]

the indifference of the rich towards the poor is exactly why they are often seen as evil. their wealth comes from the misery of the poor at every step of the way yet they have no will to change it.

[@jssnun]

@@salmansengulthis has to be the most casually racist comment i have ever read. you’re disgusting & should be more focused on school shootings, domestic terrorists, & white on white crime.

[@VitalChineseEducation]

Your introduction is a piece of art.. I love the comparison with “snowpiercer”, from the back bottom paying blood all the way long to the front, yet this one is very local, that only Koreans could understand some of the slang phrases.. I agree the end is just a fantasy

[@hrfdude4234]

11:07 changes in light will almost instantly cause the pupils to react, if someone has been in dark for too long the instance that light shines, the pupils will be pin pointed to the size of a grain of sand! that's why doctors swing a flashlight back and forth to detect if the brain is still functioning and alive, and that's a very rapid movement!

Such a fantastic movie and layered breakdown. Both awesome. Also underground with a plan to return to the surface... Mephisto. Connected.

[@DocVancouver]

I remember watching this film in the cinema and felt such awe as to how the director executed such mastery in all aspects of the film. More importantly though I was filled with rage and sadness because it depicts the the harshness of humans towards each other. I do feel that change is upon us as we see our current world turning upside. Unfortunately, chaos is part and parcel of change. The coming years will be challenging but we need these changes even more now. 🙌🏼❤️

Great video, still trying to figure out what he drew when comparing Jessica to a rose. I know what the actor said in the Q and A but, what was Bong’s intention. Also love the transition of Da-Hye playing with the corner of the work sheet and then her mother counting the money. Also love the symbolism of the toilet up the stairs. Bloody brilliant movie. Not ashamed to admit I’ve watched it seven times now.

[@saumyaasamanta118]

Could u pls tell what did he draw or what was said in the qna or the link maybe?

i know the ending is probably a fantasy and the credits song kinda explains what happens instead but I hate sad/ambiguous endings so im gonna say that the ending is real and they were able to live happily together (although im really sad that the sister actually died cuz I liked her character and its really depressing that she wont be able to join her family in living their dream)

WOOOOOOO I love the Korean Film Appreciation

[@TheEverSoTalented]

I watched this film for the first time since it's premiere,and i actually appreciated the way the "parasitic" family grifted the wealthy family in the first half of the movie esp yhe part where they set up the houskeeper as having TB - i actually clapped when the father took the Kleenex out of the bin after putting ketchup on it,and showing the lady of the house - her face...thought she was going to faint- piceless. But funnily the removal of the housekeeper leads to the real "parasitic" behaviour being shown,this film deserved its zOscar imo.

He’s just trying to do what’s best for his family. Is is wrong for what he did 100% yes, but I feel like he is actually a good person who wants to do the right thing. That’s kinda what I got from it. I might be the only one on this.

Omg the "hollow rock", I didn't know what...it changes my perspective now...thank you for telling us

[@amara560]

This movie was absolutely amazing! Loved to learn more about some small details I missed, like the number of chairs changing. One thing that really struck me are the themes of togetherness and being apart in the movie. The poor family is almost always together. In their small home, going out to eat together, getting a job together and even when the Parks are away and they are in their house you see them coming together again. Meanwhile the Parks mostly seem to live very seperate lives. They are hardly in the same room as each other and that only seems to change once they employ the poor family. You also see it all fall apart for the poor family when they all split up during the birthday party and final scenes. They are all physically and mentally in different places. The father seems to have made up his mind that he will kill the people in the basement. Meanwhile the mother who actually killed the women by kicking down the stairs thinks everyone was overreacting and maybe they can talk it all out today.

[@jingalls9142]

I'd say why there is no definitive bad guy in this movie is that at times we all are bad. We all can be parasites. We all are parasites. On each other. On the world. On each other's WIFI. Also the toilet up a stairway kind of means shit flows downhill. It flows downhill no matter the class. We all shit on those "lower" than us. Imo.
