Best of Ki-jung | Parasite |

[@havenht]

[@Tone2K]

Alex the DP deserves so much credit. Solid dude and humble.

[@lordalessan]

What makes Ki-jung's death even more tragic was that she was the only family member with the most potential to ever climb the hierarchy using her sharp wit and ability to read people. She reminds me of Frank Abignale, who climbs his way through conmanship and fraud, which you can see she is skilled in. She was the only member to take a job without the expense of someone else. With her death, the Kims didn't just lose a sister and a daughter, they lost their only shred of hope of making it to the top.

[@formeyouaretheone]

Agree, and I thought it was cool that the absolute first thing she did when the Parks were gone was take a bath. Smell is such a strong theme in Parasite and indicator of class, so it was almost like she was washing the poverty off of herself. Cool detail:)

[@Flantabulous]

Your so right! She was more confident than her brother and kept on top of the family to keep up the pretence. As her dad says in the clip she's really talented at what ever she puts her mind too.

[@jin_cotl]

Interesting interpretation

[@jin_cotl]

Literally

[@sumayyahadetunmbi4347]

wow

[@mingxuanfan]

The director is really so detailed. Every time someone is conning another, that someone is placed on a “lower level” than that other person. Mostly one on top of stairs and the other a few steps below.

[@drz655]

This stylistic divice was first used in citizen Kane

[@CTLatteberry]

this concept is shown throughout the entire film. such as when they have to run down the huge staircase to get back home. It shows the differences in social classes just from the placements

[@2im36]

@@drz655 no??? i doubt the symbolism of lower and upper class being divided by physical height is something citizen kane started. that's just americans talking bc they think everything that comes out of their country is the best and first.

[@icechan6699]

It's fascinating the way that in contrast to the brother's interview where the mom was evaluating whether he's worthy or not, Ki-jung manages to flip the script and be the dominant one, getting the mom to go along with her demands because she wants to convince Jessica that she's worthy. She's able to use the wealthy people's obsession with hierarchy against them. It's also a lot of the reason she would be able to fit in, but the brother wouldn't. "Before I decide whether to take on Da-song..." just brilliant.

[@angelinebena9675]

Very true. She’s extremely smart and is the one who seem to fit in the most

[@samuellai1908]

It is quite sad that she is the only member of the Kim family who got killed.

[@S.럼펌펌]

Some say because Ki-jung was the one who was smart enough to actually climb the social ladder, she got killed.

[@redbolor]

When they were practicing what to remember that camerawork and timing is very well done. They slowly zoom in and then when she presses the doorbell that swift and smooth pan to the left was amazing. It's very satisfying to watch. Parasite great film indeed. Masterpiece.

[@RB-ew6lo]

[@t7.swapnil]

[@kiraz7471]

Exactly, there's sth so crisply satisfying about Korean camera work

[@fd3]

Why is every shot so overpraised and over-analyzed? I get that it’s “good”, but the fact that every scene is praised as art is pretty cringe-worthy and makes me think the film is getting more overrated than it should be

[@purplepeargaming69]

something did. The dark doorway to the stairs between them at 3:54 is the director telling you what it was that affected the boy in the first grade

[@a.kaushal8447]

Amazing observation

[@jalfredprufrock620]

The cut-reverse-cuts from that point on consistently violate the 180-degree rule, showing that Ki-jung has managed to cross "the line" brought up several times in the movie by the rich dad.

[@adiabd1]

​@@purplepeargaming69now that you've brought it up, I just moticed that the lamps on the stairs are also huge hint. The lamps to basement is switched off all at once by the maid probably somewhere in the kitchen, but the lamps to garage turns on one at a time? If its automatic, then why not also the basement lamps automatic? There must be _someone_ handling the switch somewhere

[@chesterma6321]

​@jalfredprufrock620 yeah that was quite distracting

[@dao9964]

From 1:56 to 5:36. This little short period literally hinted us at everything at the second half. From both paintings,to the basement,to the shot where Madame came up from the basement stairs,to the light being lit when her husband. Such a beautiful film. 💯

[@DeathnoteBB]

Also the part where the basement lights turn themselves off

[@colleensarmento9660]

Wow thank you for that observation

[@AM-be1ov]

The saddest part of the movie is that it was more than enough the two siblings working for the rich, but the family's greed was bigger that their desire to have a better life.

[@claudeapollon5004]

looking back it was a big risk for them to try to hire their whole family. In a lot of ways they were all resourceful and competent enough to find jobs they just needed a shot and the right connections. But they got greedy and try to abuse that one relation they had.

[@ayden_james]

@@claudeapollon5004 i think more than the fact that greed got in their way, i see it more as a way to show that opportunities are endless for upper class people and they can continue to reach new heights while already at the top-- meanwhile lower class people get to that place by sheer luck and when that luck topples over, it's so easy for them to fall along with it (especially in the poor family's case since their "connections" are merely fabricated). why is it that two people from the main family being successful are considered "enough"; why should they stop there? why can't the entire family have successful careers in which they excel at? upper class people get a whole staircase for themselves but lower class people can only have a shaky ladder. ofc this is just my interpretation, but with how clear the movie criticizes the bourgeoisie, there is reason to believe this is more than just a manifestation of greed in cinema.

[@claudeapollon5004]

@@ayden_james I feel like greed made them look for the fastest solution instead of planning long term. Both parent could have been hired somewhere using the connection of the family who hired the kids. It’s almost like there is a trill to being able to scam someone and they couldn’t resist

[@ayden_james]

@@claudeapollon5004 yeah i do think greed plays a part in it since tasting a bit of pleasure and power in life when you've spent most of your life living in the bottom can drive people mad and make them hungry for more. it just isn't a big of a role as class division is to the story, to me personally

[@ammericanochuachuaaa]

Yeah greed really played the part becoz they cud have stopped within the father but they got too greedy and wanted to give mom a job too without thinking about the risk it cud cause like seriously they cud have lived the best life if the mother wasn't hired there like seriously

[@snatchsilenced3965]

The doorbell scene really gets me. How many of us would have wanted someone else to press the button?

Most of people who born with golden spoon that I have met mostly have nice and good attitude, but easily get backstab by their friend/relatives. I am not saying those people who born poverty are bad and those who born with golden spoon are nice, sometimes the experience of growing up where people did not treat you good cause the person develop survival skills to adapt with the environment. This movie shows us that those who born with unfortunate lifestyle have the survival ways by forge, lying and etc to improve their life, only those who born with nothing have the changes to improve their life in good way while some of us did not have the luck and have to use "another" way to improve their life.
