One big detail in this film is 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.

I'm in my mid 50's and have worked since I was 16 and I've realized last year that all I have to show for it is 2 divorces and no kids, stuck doing a boring job just so that I can pay for a house and little trinkets to try and make me happy. Now I've decided to do something totally opposite my comfort zone, I always played safe, never taken a risk in the advent that I could loose all my stuff. I've put up my house for sale and with the sale I'll buy a small RV and take the road. By doing so I'm also selling 90% of the ''stuff'' that's holding me back to go on this adventure and doing it alone. 2 years ago I became sober and my thoughts have never been so clear, it has led me to this realization that I need to do this for my sanity and my health I need to get off the day to day grind of working for a big corporation and getting peanuts in return. I plan to drive through only small towns, do odd job here and there from time to time but mainly just drive, meet new people along the way and live life while I still can.

That scene when he is continuing to make the boxes while the suffocating gas hits him. It signifies his reluctance to be defeated amidst circumstances.

I agree, it says a lot about him, personaly I thought it showed how the working class have to labour no matter how bad the conditions got....and later they have to accept lower payments for the pizza boxes since so many were ruined (probably by continuing to work during fumigation). It's a real catch 22. You MUST work no matter how bad the conditions, but then get punished for lower work caused by the conditions....

The unfortunate truth is that our reality isn’t one of fairness and justice. But we are told lies from birth that life is. We are told that the rich and elite worked hard to get where they are, and when we mature enough to realize the truth, well it’s already too late. We’re now tired and depressed teens/young adults who don’t have the energy to stop obeying. If we stop being subservient, then we will die because we’re barely living paycheck to paycheck. We can’t afford to stop working to fight back.

[@trishgreen2892]

Yes, Alan Watt from Cutting through the Matrix warned that it's a class problem, and all the classes are trained to not associate with each other. He also said that it's the human nature to not do anything until it's too late, and everyone is so weak from not having the essentials to thrive in life (clean food, air, environment, sleep/rest). They no longer have the critical thinking skills needed nor the mental energy and physical strength.

[@GoldsteinShekelbergSwartz]

@@trishgreen2892 It is more a liberal problem. Liberalism ideologies banned all ideologies that can fight against it in the Western world, so they can't hold the elite accountable.

This is the main issue the reliance on the system, and I will agree that most are simply stuck. (Well at least in their ability to deal with the uncomfortableness of the process of getting off the metaphorical teet.) However it is not impossible, the access to knowledge that exists is already leading to positive changes in this regard that is simply on such a small scale it is hard to see it as a whole. People just need to grow comfortable sacrificing the convenience of Modern Society. This was always the trade off that was going to happen because one who relies on another will always be the lesser. And we as a whole decided to rely on the ultra wealthy and those with political power. We gave them our subservience long ago. At the end of the day no one has the ability to change Human nature as a whole, and the idyllic society where we can rely on the few for the needs of the many without this stratification will never come to pass. Edit: And no I am not referring to Communism, it is simple another with the reliance problem. I mean at the end of the day it may simply be the default state of Human society. Too many sheep and not enough wolves.

I worked alongside very rich people for a few years. It was a real wakeup call. Yes, there is absolutely a line and they love to remind everyone which side they are on. I was in a awkward position as I wasn't poor, so they treated me and other consultants in a very strange manner; the best way to explain it was that they pretended to regard us in the same class as them but it was clear they didn't actually feel that way. These people were making millions per month while we paid the equivalent of about 200-250k/yr. They would pretend to care about our investment decisions or other subject they clearly didn't give two craps about our opinions. I wish I paint a better picture because I'm not doing the strangeness of their lifestyle any justice at all.

I have a question; does one of these small behaviors involve looking past you and selective attention?

There was only one parasite in this film and it was the human mindset. I remember watching it like 4 or so years ago and watching this video made me remember this. The main reason why I believe that this was the parasite in the film is evident in all of the major characters in the story. Each of them have their own issues and selfish ambitions. If I was to highlight one major point it would be when they see the other house keeper as a parasite and lesser than them because she also found a way to sneak in... They were so antagonistic towards her and her husband but forgot that the only reason why they're there was because the son's friend handed down the job opportunity to him. There's so much more I could highlight from this film alone but I just wanted to say my thoughts on what I believe the real parasite was/is.

[@trishgreen2892]

As an observer of human behavior, I am wondering how this movie affected South Korean people. So, I did a brief search and came upon The Guardian article, Parasite: how Oscar triumph has exposed South Korea’s social divide, which apart from the last paragraph person's interview, seems to only reiterate the unfortunate attitudes of both wealthy and poor found in the movie itself.

[@godleveleldritchblast5257]

As an observer of human behaviour as well, human greed knows no bounds. Human stupidity is also on that spectrum. A conscious is the only thing that would fix both problems but few people have one of those.

[@stellviahohenheim]

Just watch their soap operas this behaviour have been going on in Korean society forever

[@trishgreen2892]

@@stellviahohenheim I do, but even though TV and movies are based upon real life, it's not real life and just like Americans, for instance, do not like to be judged on a Hollywood movie about criminals and have everyone in the world generalize and say, "All Americans must be criminals", I am sure South Koreans would resent that implication, even though it's true for a certain segment of their society.

[@Slayer-x4j]

Korea has a strong manufacturing base, so the Gini coefficient is lower than that of the United States, so the gap between the rich and the poor is not that severe. Even if a work that deals with the gap between the rich and the poor, such as Parasite and Squid Game, is released, it doesn't really have an impact on people. There is not much of a visible gap between the rich and the poor, but if people think it is difficult to become middle class or higher, they are giving up on marriage and childbirth, resulting in the world's worst birth rate haha.

[@Slayer-x4j]

@@trishgreen2892 To explain further, Korea is said to have the most competition in the world, beacuse paradoxically since the gap between the upper class and the lower class is small, it creates the illusion that anyone can become the upper class. So there is a lot of competition, but you know, everyone cannot be in the upper class. So there are many people who think that if they can't become upper class, they should just think living alone is right instead of raising a family. Nowadays, people who get married and have babies in Korea are wealthy people.

Nobody gives agency or responsibility to the family, they cry and say evil system is against me, instead of personal responsibility. Also if the dad smelled he could have worn perfume or showered with a fragrance soaps or done almost anything than nothing. He took no responsibility and than blamed the system. Also for park it was to be hyper-bolic about the successful not caring about the poor ,but why should they care about people who aren't helping themselves, that's a waste of time and resources, its a bottomless pit like fighting homelessness, its going to drain you before the "problem" of people choosing to live on the street ever ends. Its the opposite, ive had many wealthier people try to help me when they see how hard i am fighting to get a better life. People both poor and rich look up to you and see that strength and admire it.

As a Korean, my impression was that yes the movie revealed the unspoken, uncomfortable truth about current society but people seem to accept this harsh reality cynically rather than trying to make changes or looking for any other alternatives. A word called gagjadosaeng 각자도생(各自圖生) which means to ‘strive for self sufficiency in order to survive’ is in trend now because it precisely represents the current atmosphere of Korean society. The birth rate in Korea has dropped to almost zero, in fear of the quality of life of their offsprings’ being worse off than theirs. It’s sad but none of us know what to do about it 😢

These themes are also quite present in squid games. While a much stranger premise, it’s interesting to note and do further research on Korean society. While their themes are easy to connect to an American society, I wonder why their entertainment at least in these two mainstream pieces, cover these very similar themes. Makes me think the outside looking in facade they show of thriving in a more western style culture isn’t going as well maybe. You should cover the global political landscape as a series! Maybe covering significant countries one at a time or different atrocities that are supported by their governments. Love the vids!

One scene I think not a lot of people talk about is when during the start of the film the guy who knows the Parks (the rich ones) who is also a English tutor to the Park's daughter is planning to propose to her or get into a relationship with her although he is much older than her. And after the main character (the Kim boy) starts tutoring her HE GETS IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH HER. This is straight up creepy given the age gap. I don't know how much of a problem this is in South Korea , but this ‘problem' stood out to me. Also I wish they gave some kind of closure for the original tutor guy. P.S. : I don't think the Parks would have ever allowed or would have agreed to the relationship ( w/ the original tutor guy or even the main character ) given that both of them are of a ‘class' lower that theirs.

This is a result of the lack of there being a meritocracy. In university you don’t really get somewhere through studying, passing, applying for jobs, getting the job, growing through the ranks. No, you need to be in clubs, within the clubs you use connections that are already there for generations, and just are cemented.

In the basement revelation scene, Moon- gwang(The OG maid) states that her husband, Geun-se has been living there because of the loan sharks and Geun-se was'nt being able to repay due to his business(the cake shop in taiwan) was destroyed by fire. This was foreshadowed earlier in the film by Mr and Mrs. Kim in the driver's lounge scene.They said that before Mr Kim was a valet, he used to work at a "chicken place which went bust before the 'Taiwan cake shop'." The "Taiwan Cake Shop" mentioned by Mrs Kim is the exact same "Taiwan Cake Shop" which was owned by Geun-Se. 🔥💯 Parasite is literally the Greatest OF ALL TIME. 💯

Credit the film for not dumbing down the story into a simplistic virtuous poor vs evil rich boilerplate. While it has obvious critiques of economic inequality and injustice, it doesn't play favorites nor shy away from the flaws and vices of its characters, rich or poor. And in presenting these flaws as stemming from environment rather than inborn, it steers away from casually judging anyone in particular. There is no hero or villain. It's people trying their damndest to get ahead with the hand they'd been dealt.

I disagree with the concept that working class families can’t become “elites” or have subjugated themselves to never crossing this “line”. Wealth can be acquired by anyone as long as you obtain the necessary skillset. Anyone can become an accountant as long as you put in the effort and time which even a low level entry position yields a fantastic salary. Sure making it to the level of millions of dollars for a salary is rare but making it to a salary of 80k-200k is not rare and there are many opportunities for. Also capitalism is the best system we have ever had in human history. Communism and socialism lower the value and quality of everything creating the disillusion of “ see we can all be happy because we’re all equal”. Which is empirically not true. No one is equal and no one should be equal. There will always be poor people, stupid people, and ugly people. And these people are necessary for anything to have “value”. You can have empathy for them but understand it’s natural for these people to exist and they need to exist. I grew up in a working class family and am studying to be an accountant to create more wealth for my family. I do not complain, no why me, just create your reality. Complaining about the haves and the have nots is childish, selfish, hypocritical,naive, and all around unproductive.

I've been in tech sales for quite a few years and have met some very rich, powerful people. They build this cult of personality around themselves to cultivate an air of hyper-competence, but the reality is that most of them really aren't that smart. Most of them are actually fairly easy to outmaneuver, because they have such an over-inflated sense of their own intelligence. In my opinion, that's the biggest danger of all this doomerism. The people most susceptible to adopting a fatalist and nihilistic outlook are the very people who have the best chance of succeeding.

You are purposely leaving out a lot here. Mr Kim is an absolute dirtbag. An irresponsible agent of chaos, whose brain capacity only seems active when in pursue of scams and shortcuts. Not once in the movie does he display any desire for honest work, rather he sees reality from the perspective of trying to get a leg up on everything and everyone. He displays immense stupidity for anything other than to try to coax someone out of a dollar, at which he is rather astute. I've met people like him in real life, they are incapable of performing any job or task consistently. Their ego is not stroked by straight achievement. Rather they feel achieved when they think they got something out of someone else for free, or think they found a shortcut around something. It's similar to the Saul Goodman character. These individuals are destined for failure(by their own hand), their morals and values are not conducive to success, or even stability. If Mr Kim was born in a rich family, he'd still end up a pathetic loser, because the way he approaches the world leads to absolute failure. A trait he passed down to his whole family. All his children are incapable of getting out of the shit in life, despite having the mental capacity and opportunities to do so. The rich people in the movie aren't guilty of anything, other than being somewhat rude and aloof. They perform the tasks that are required of them to maintain their quality of life. There are many things they could do better but there is nothing they are doing that is inherently wrong. The poor in parasite aren't victims of anything, they are a perfect rendering of why poor people and absolute losers will always exist. No condition can be created in which characters such as Mr Kim or Saul Goodman will not self destruct.

I agree. a couple explanations of this film that I have seen seem to place the Kim family in a more flattering light than I think they deserve. The Kim family has no work ethic, values, or morals and they appear to be drunkards as well. they created a culture in the family that will breed failure for generations. in the first 10-20 mins of the movies the son even says his parents are able to work but they just don't and in the dad can be seen pretending to sleep. It's strange nowadays, if anyone has some form of wealth those who have less will claim the wealthy don't deserve it.
