I recommend K-movie Oldboy. You must watch it.

[@jonathangonzalez-md8pg]

You asked how he survived after being hit with the rock... It's because it's not a real rock, it's fake. Notice that when their house is flooded, that huge "heavy" rock floats in the water. So the stone that was supposed to be a nice and meaningful gift and bring good luck to them was just a fake rock.

[@aristurtlee]

damn I only now just realized that 😮

[@anthtan]

Metaphorical, isn't it?

[@paqap]

Five years of watching this movie, and I never made the connection.

[@KellothKlinsmann]

but if it's a fake rock, why doesn't float on the river at the end?

[@jonathangonzalez-md8pg]

@KellothKlinsmann he places it next to another rock and in very shallow water, it barely covers the rock. Maybe the friction with the other rock is enough to keep it sunken? FYI, what I said about being fake is not confirmed, that's an interpretation about the scene with the rock floating up. It could also be something more metaphorical.

[@TomJones-wx5on]

Some analysis. The smell that they can’t wash off is the smell of poor. No matter how much they cosplay success you can never wash off poor you’re trapped. You’ll notice that the rich people live high up on hills and the poor people live low below the streets (or in a basement). Height symbolizes status. Who is the parasite? Is it the poor people leeching off the rich? Is it the rich family exploiting the poor for less than they’re worth to maintain their status? The whole societal system keeping people trapped?

[@pabloc8808]

The smell of poverty. It's the smell of your environment, of your sweat because you work a physically demanding job, of all the people cramped in public transport, of your skin because your diet is unbalanced, of the alcohol and cigarette on your pores because they're addictions that affect poor people as a "relief" from everyday life, of lower quality cleaning products you use on your house and your clothes. It's your posture affected by years of discomfort and work, the way you talk to rich people like you're lesser, it's your vocabulary because you're just not fancy and refined, the way you don't know how to eat certain foods because you never had access to them. To rich people, poverty smells and it shows, and they'll never look at us as equals. They might show respect out of decency, but if you annoy them they'll put you "in your place"

[@bigmikem1578]

Exactly a lot of people don’t get that’s the point of the movie.

[@jangankomen-j4f]

Yes. I dont get it myself. I thought Kim family was parasite, then the housekeeper another parasite and thats it. When i heard analysis about the rich family could be the real parasite. Thats genius and give total opposite view. After all, the meaning of parasite is they use n give nothing back n usually on top of other organisms and fit the rich family more than the poor ones. And of course its subjective n open for discussions.

[@CorruptedSave]

For me one of the key moments in the film is when Chung Sook says that Mrs. Park is "not 'rich but still nice.' Nice BECAUSE she's rich." That money is an iron that flattens out the creases of life. And you see it in how the poor characters interact with one another. There is no class solidarity. Chung Sook flat out rejects to Moon Gwang's appeal to worker/servant solidarity to share even a scrap of what she has to let her husband continue to live in the basement. They're all so used to scraping by to survive that existence is a battle for people like them.

[@pabloc8808]

Yup as someone from a Third World country, after visiting a First World country I realized the difference. When people have their basic needs met, even if they struggle to get a bit of comfort, they tend to be nicer. When you're poor and your struggle is "how am I going to afford dinner?", you're more defensive, cynical, and sometimes you screw others over just because you want to "come out on top", just this once... poverty destroys your empathy and your humanity without you realizing it.

I'm pretty sure it was implied that the original housekeeper was beaten up by debt collectors. the reason she was hiding her husband in the sub-basement was because he had several failed businesses and had tons of debt that he couldn't pay back, so they were being chased by debt collectors and needed to hide out. there are so many layers to this movie, and it warrants a rewatch to see the brilliance in the writing.

After watching this movie you will understand why Parasite' received five nominations and won four Academy Awards at the 2020 ceremony. And on top of that being the first non-English language film to win the Academy Award for Best Picture👏👏👏 Props to Bong Joon-ho (South Korean filmmaker), the writers and the actors and actresses in this movie, they did an amazing job.

[@crankheart]

i love that all 3 families are parasites. park doesnt really do anything at his company, just get's paid a ton for being an exec.

[@kaenopi]

This movie is stuffed full of details, it's kind of insane. Characters being separated by lines in plenty of shots; be it windows etc..., the rock said to bring wealth floats during the flood; it's hollow, it's not real, the Kim family literally living below the sewage pipes and below the Park as they have to take down all those stairs to get home. Also, their smell betraying them. No matter how good you make people believe you're rich, something will betray you, you cannot easily escape poverty. And lastly, the plan to buy the house. Like his father said, no plan is better because it cannot fail. He can't build himself up and buy the house. He's doomed from birth. It would take him 500+ years to get enough money. It's even the name of the ending music. The chances for him to escape is economic class are so slim, it's just not a realistic plan and it will go awry. Class and economic inequality is a huge thing in South Korea, and this is at the heart of this movie.

[@catherinetong4472]

Yes!! Agree

[@troublemethis17]

One thing i wish people would realize: the Kims were intelligent/ talented people who cleverly conned there way into jobs, but then they DID the jobs and did them exceedingly well. Given the separation of classes like the Indian caste system, they'd never be able to rise to where their capabilities could take them. The Parks were never the good guys nor were they innocent benefittng from and perpetuating this cyclical system

[@hrussell9677]

This movie is based on the reality that many Koreans face in Seoul with living in slum conditions and eking out an existence. When this movie came out, people started talking about how many Koreans actually hide and live in places that they sneak into. This movie is basically a commentary on the divide between the have and have nots in South Korea-people with vast amounts of money vs. people barely surviving. Obviously it is not just a reality in South Korea, but the fact that many people find secret places to live unbeknownst to homeowners.

[@anniepsh9363]

Korean-American here. Wanted to chime in about the ending and how it embodies a Korean concept called “han.” It’s said that all Koreans are born with “han,” which doesn’t have an English counterpart. Han encompasses several emotions in a single word = long-lasting & deep-seated melancholy, regret, suffering, anger, bitterness, a feeling of injustice and helplessness, resentment, an urge to exact revenge, but also resilience and a sense of hope for the future. It’s said that Han originated as a result of decades of Japanese occupation of South Korea. When you look for it, you can see Han in various aspects of Korean culture. It is why Koreans love ballads and why revenge is a common theme in film and TV. It’s not uncommon to see Korean films and TV series with bittersweet endings or those in which beloved protagonists die. When you see Koreans wailing loudly when a loved one dies, that is also an embodiment of Han. I know some people think that Parasite should have ended in the penultimate scene and that the ending scene wasn’t necessary. But I think that last scene makes sense from the Korean perspective of Han. The very last clip hearkens back to the opening scene of the film and situates Ki-woo back in the basement dwelling. Koreans know that it’s a pipe dream that he will ever earn enough money to purchase the house and reunite with his father. It will never happen. And we are left with Ki-woo clinging to a hope that will never be realized, which makes his letter (which his father will never receive) even more heartbreaking (“be healthy until then”).

[@sariel8406]

The "basement" is actually a bomb shelter. Specifically a nuclear bunker. South Korea is technically at war with the North that has a looney with nukes. So many rich homes have those bunkers built.

[@Evil_Peter]

This is a fantastic movie with so much depth. A powerful statement about class society while still also being a funny and exciting story on the surface. It also has great visual storytelling. For example, at the beginning that the poor family starts to weasel their way into service to the rich you often see some line (could be a background thing, a line in the windows that you see people through, etc) separating the poor and the rich, but as they get accepted they get past them and are shown closer. They also use verticality nicely as you always see them moving upwards to get to the rich house, and vice versa when traveling back to their real home. Just lots of details like this throughout.

[@UnveiledAngel]

I knew when the housekeeper popped back up, something was going to go down, I just didn't think it would turn as hard as it did. My Korean movie recommendation would be A Tale of Two Sisters.

[@danielaustin953]

I like the line "They can afford to be nice" because it covers a huge part of what this movie is about. People might look at the Kim family and think they're the parasites, and certainly they're "morally unscrupulous" in their dealings. But the fact is, they wouldn't have to be if they weren't living in constant poverty and desperation. The fact that the poor family's home is all the way down and their lives are completely destroyed by one flood, but the rich family is all the way up and saw it as "lucky" rain, it forces people into inhumane situations regardless of whether they're inherently "good" or "bad". Moreover no matter what they do they are unable to escape their station and place in life. That's what Capitalism has done to many real people.

I love this movie! I love how it's like two different movies in one! Also, Nikki, I looovveee your hair! Now... so, here's the thing... they *were* focused on building themselves up. They needed jobs to do that. So, they got each other jobs. They didn't think all that other mess would go down. They were just trying to earn a living. Sure, they scammed to get there, not great. But being poor doesn't always allow for kindness when you're fighting over scraps. Also, everything the rich have they got at the expense of the poor (see how something as simple as the rain was great for the rich but terrible for the poor?). Getting out of poverty is not that simple or easy.

But very few managed to have the entire audience in dead silence, with palpable tension in the air, to the point you couldn't hear the person next to you breathe, or breathe yourself, like the scene where the Kims hide under the table did.

Everyone recommends Old Boy, but I would suggest The Wailing (2016). Also, you will absolutely love Crouchiong Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000) by Ang Lee.

PINEAPPLE IS THE BEST PIZZA TOPPING!

One of the best movies ive ever seen. I watched it again not long ago and i guess i had forgotten the little twists and turns cause i was shocked all over again. Amazing.

This movie and knives out were the best two movies of 2019. Great freaking movie.

If you dont use it, you lose it. I used to think i couldn't watch subtitles. 10 years later, i can watch subtitles and multi task at home. Practice helps in every field.

The hook up scene is not that random. It confirms the wife to be a junkie. The mad eyes, dozing off during the day, tensions, were hints.

So the question remains: Who were the real parasites? The poor folk forced to use trickery and force to work for the rich family? Or the rich family living an amazing life due to the poor folk's labor they exploit?
