Plot: Bong Joon Ho brings his work home to Korea in this pitch-black modern fairytale. Meet the Park Family: the picture of aspirational wealth. And the Kim Family, rich in street smarts but not much else. Be it chance or fate, these two houses are brought together and the Kims sense a golden opportunity. Masterminded by the son college-aged Ki-woo, the Kim children expediently install themselves as tutor and art therapist, to the Parks. Soon, all of symbiotic relationship forms between the two families. The Kims provide "indispensable" luxury services while the Parks being the boss obliviously bankroll their entire household. When a parasitic interloper threatens the Kims' newfound comfort, a savage, underhanded battle for dominance break out under threatening to destroy the fragile ecosystem between the Kims and the Parks:)
My Movie Review: The movie is breaking so much boundaries and manage to stay relevant up to this day even it premiere last year October there's something masterful about it you can't deny that's why critics are gashing on positive reviews and overflowing awards toward this film! Parasite is a near perfect social satire that started with a con and end up something else- thrill to the bone- you can feel and the over the top rush even if you don't understand the language:) The brilliance heightens when the Parks decided to have a camping trip leaving the Kims alone in the house until the former house lady comes back with a surprising revelation she left under! In the dark lies the husband kept hidden and the ball roll from then on as heavy rain falls the Parks came back in that night and the Kims must go out- when their back to their own home the flood was all over the place- that moment brings you back and keep you grounded and see the world in their view somehow karma bite their ass from all the con they done so compelling:) The finale comes full circle when the rage is unleash and all blow big on a birthday party in the house twist after twist- a very clever conclusion in command and put things in perfect harmony!
Critics Consensus: An urgent, brilliantly layered look at timely social themes, Parasite finds writer-director Bong Joon Ho in near-total command of his craft. If the movie is a Rorschach of who you identify as parasite and host, it's a test you're as likely to fail; a film-going experience that refuses to fit into any box, and forces viewers to breathe the dangerous air outside of it too. Let's just say that by "Parasite's" conclusion, what started out as a comedy of manners has become a furious snarl of rage and his most arresting social satire yet. It isn't an easy ride, and as with life in the non-metaphorical world, the destination is uncertain. You'll see strange and wonderful things along the way. It's a fitting movie for our times, and Joon Ho delivers with uncompromising clarity and vision. See it before the inevitable American remake sands down all its razor sharp edges. He has delivered one of the most well-assembled and compelling films of all time, flawlessly navigates humor, despair, satire, and elements of thrilling horror to create an experience I won't soon forget. Parasite is a major accomplishment and a must-see for anyone who loves cinema! Bong builds the smallest moments into something monumental:)
