I anticipated greatly watching this movie due to its awards and ratings. I am a fan of foreign and quality non hollywood type movies. Much to my surprize i found this movie boring stupid and unwatchable. I had to stop watching it halfway thru.

Adding a bit of exaggeration, PARASITE is totally a new genre itself.

The film is, as it openly admits, “extremelyParasite is an extremely potent movie with an incredible amount to say. Despite having been out for several months, I feel that many of the film’s true intentions won’t be realized for some time. The film is, as it openly admits, “extremely metaphorical”, almost every decision feeling well-meant and multi-layered. Many people have stated their interpretations of the work, and I feel most of them are missing the point. Parasite is a satire, yet many people seem to be taking it at face value. In an interview, Bong stated that calling lower-class individuals, people who have no feasible means of class mobility, parasites is missing the point; it is the upper class who saps off the lower class via class warfare and exploitation who are the real parasites. In this way and many more, Parasite likely doesn’t affirm the viewer’s world view, it may seem to do so, but this misconception is illustrative of the divide between reality and perception. Parasite, even if watched as an ideologically vacant film is still incredibly deep, with well-placed reincorporation and a constantly evolving plot. Despite its dark undertones and periodically graphicly violent scenes, Parasite remains to be intensely funny, a humour derived from the absurdist reality of the film’s world and premise.… Expand

People obviously enjoyed making this movie, and were even very humble about the rewards they deservedly received. I just REALLY REALLY enjoyed this movie, so much that I literally considered (I will get it on VOD as soon as it gets there) buying a second movie ticket because it left such a DAMN impression on me the first time, I was encouraged to see it over other stuff. After seeing the other stuff I still feel I'd have better spent my time seeing the movie again.

There's"Once you overcome the 1-inch-tall barrier of subtitles, you will be introduced to so many more amazing films" - Bong Joon Ho. Every piece of this genre bending film is meticulously and masterfully crafted. I am absolutely blown away. There's a quality about certain films where, from the first scene, you can tell there's one strong artistic vision behind it. And in film, this is, of course, called direction. The direction behind Parasite is undoubtedly what made it my new favorite film of 2019. Breaking down the qualities of this film in order of appearance, Parasite is shot with real personality. A steady and practiced hand behind the camera adds one extra layer of emotion to every scene, almost treating the frame as if its the vision of an intangible observer. Focus tracks through this film in that manner with absolute precision and in doing so creates an urgency where there otherwise might not have been. The score of Parasite has a John Williams (almost Home Alone) style at its core with layers thrown on top of it to address the actions in each plot point nearly beat for beat. This is more challenging than it sounds due to the winding and weaving plot the film. I won't write much on the plot as it's best experienced with no preconceptions, but I will say that if you're a plot guesser when you watch movies, you are SOL with this one. On top of all of this, the performances rise to the same level of expertise. The actor playing each character undeniably brings their roles' multi-faceted natures to light over the course of the runtime. The script is the foundation for this, but you can really feel the personality of the direction of this film shining through every performance. This is my new favorite film of 2019 and m pick for best picture in a stacked year. Loved this one.… Expand

Or, la surprise est quasiment totale... car ce n'est pas chiant malgré tout de même deux heures un brin diluées parce qu'ici on s'amuse beaucoup et on ricane souvent... le film joue sans cesse des contrastes évidemment saisissants entre les pauvres très pauvres et les riches très riches, les pauvres qui "parasitent" les riches et les riches qui n'en ont mais vraiment, strictement rien à branler de ces sales pauvres...

Tout le film est d'une ironie mordante à cet égard jusqu'au... euh... "grand final" singulièrement exagéré, puis l'épilogue... carrément délirant ! n'oublions pas qu'on est toujours dans un film coréen et que la demi-mesure là-bas, on ne connaît pas... mais c'est aussi pour ça qu'on les apprécie, ma foi...

Alors bien sûr, on tique quand même assez souvent, car le film est en équilibre sur une corde raide, celle de la comédie cinglée et du drame social outré... mais les comédiens et les comédiennes sont tellement excellents qu'ils arrivent à faire passer... n'importe quoi, y compris et surtout l'improbable !

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Bong Joon Ho's one of the best masterpiece of portraying social class division with twisting plots are nothing but incredible.

The concept of the movie starts with showing the difference between upper class and lower class people lifestyle and their dependency. It brilliantly exposes the capitalism system in society that has been presented as the 'Parasite' in here.

The first half of the film follows the family living at a semi basement apartment in poor locality. After the son is given an opportunity by his friend to teach as a English Tutor in rich family and came to realise that although he is earning more , his family is getting what they deserve. As they are not as bright as the son , so son decides to make a plan to employ their family in that house where he teaches. Sooner they become wealthy as they all working in different positions in the same house.
The first half may look flat and give some impression of the base of movie .
But when it comes to the second half there is a major plot twisting. It clears the display of showing the struggle of poor within the unjust society and hence this sudden joyful life comes into tragedy. This cast members brilliantly performed their role. The cinematography and background score of make the audience more focused!
Its funny , thrilling, emotional and moral based script makes it a masterpiece ! No doubt, it is one of my favourite movie and I am strongly recommend it to watch ( although it is an S.Korean movie ).… Expand

The sister, Da-hye (jung Ji-so) is the best written and also has the best performance, wich makes her the only character I really cared about.

Song Kang-ho and Choi Woo-sik stood out with how their fantastic acting added large depth to their characters, but at the end of the day, Lee Jung-eun stole the show entirely. The production design for me ranks among Anderson's The Grand Budapest hotel, and I believe this film may be as/more influential for everybody to the likes of The Godfather. The cinematography and lighting work feels so sharp, and the storyboards of Bong Jong-Ho are extremely precise. You can feel Bong's direction and the film feels entirely thought out and rehashed multiple times thinking from a filmmaker's perspective. The screenplay aaaaa. I can't praise this film enough. This film is too close to being "perfect", my only issue is that the third act, while it wraps up the film thematically and is one that has grown on me, feels a teensy tiny bit out of place.

It is amazing how the film can change so much from beginning to end without realizing it, and when we notice it, we are already very euphoric waiting for future events. The film is full of super well done scenes. It is usually a discreet angle of the camera that gives us the view of grandeur or claustrophobia. The perfect montage along with the soundtrack, which causes us a lot of anxiety and magnifies the main characters' wooden face, or a big turnaround in the script, containing once again, a montage, soundtrack and performances collaborating so that the scene is quite harmonious . I never thought I'd be in any doubt if I hoped someone would do well or badly in the story. I loved the experience, I loved the film and the social criticism it proposes about class difference, showing in a very discreet way the privileges of some and the lack of privileges of others.

I saw bong joon-ho's the host and I can see he brings many of the same themes (poverty, classism, codependent family relationships) in his latest movie parasite. What starts as an endearing tale of a crooked family drama (which gets a bit long in the tooth) takes a hard right into 'lets see how long they can play hide and seek in the house' all the way to 'metaphorical homeless guy lives in the basement and worships the upperclass homeowner'.... So not very subtle writing here! Still the cast are superb here and the cinematography was slightly above average.

When I saw the huge amount of Academy AwardsI have never cared about acollades. I never watch a film because it has won a Golden Globe or listen to a specific album because it has won 3 Grammys. But this time it has been different. When I saw the huge amount of Academy Awards "Parasite" was recieving, I felt the immediate need to see it. And I won't ever regret it.
"Parasite", directed by Bong Joon-ho, is a perfect mix of black comedy, thriller, drama and social critic. It just has everything. The title is also magnificent. It makes you think that you'll see South Korea battling against "coronavirus" but no; you'll watch a capturing movie where the word "parasite" will recieve another deep meaning: the way poor people are seen by the rich class and how someone opposed to you is a kind of virus inside your house; something that doesn't fit in, that does not belong here nor isn't welcomed.
This film is, by far, a must-see for cinema lovers since it has all factors that make a movie perfect. My congartulations to the actors and director who made me cry of joy and of sadness and have made me see how this world is a beautiful mess.… Expand

Parasite, Bong Joon-Ho's recent Satire of the social class division in South Korea is nothing short of incredible. The film is more or less divided into two major sections:
the first half of the film follows a Family living in the poor areasParasite, Bong Joon-Ho's recent Satire of the social class division in South Korea is nothing short of incredible. The film is more or less divided into two major sections:
the first half of the film follows a Family living in the poor areas of Seoul (im assuming). After the son Ki-Woo (Choi Woo-shik)is given the opportunity to work as an English tutor in an extremely rich household, he begins to realize that despite having a great income, the adults of the family are not exactly the brightest of induviduals, and so slowly Ki-Woo and his family devise a plan to all come into the employment of their new wealthy acquaintances. Although the film may give a lighthearted impression, once the movie transitions into the second half it becomes extraordinarily twisted, slightly resembling the ending of Robert Eggers's 'The Lighthouse'.
After contemplating the events that took place witin the film, It seems obvious to me that Like JB Priestley's 'An Inspector Calls', Bong Joon-ho intends for this movie to display a clear contast between the lives of the rich and the struggles of the poor within this obviously unjust society. Of course it doesn't just rub your face with morals, and there is a very substantial and entertaining plot, but this is one of the main focuses of the movie.
As for the other, i'd say that would be the excellent dynamic between characters which is further developed by the brilliant performances from every cast member, particularly Park So-dam who in my opinion was robbed of a Best supporting actress nomination. Other notable features include some top of the line cinematography and a outstanding writing, but other than that I feel there isn't much to talk about.
Parasite is an absolute masterpiece, and like so many other films that have come out recently I absolutely recommend it.

Fun fact: Elon Musk officially stated that Parasite was his favorite movie of 2019, and whie that's all well and good, the film practically exists to ridicule people like him.… Expand

There were numerous better films made in 2019, Joker, 1917, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, First Man....Even whatever Marvel movie came out this year was likely more interesting and memorable. This is not the years best picture, at all, it most likely won the award because the director is "Diverse", much like the sycophancy surrounding Black Panther. The hype is similarly political.

Director Bong Joon Ho has showed that he has mastered his craft as a director and a screenwriter. The theme of class division is consistent throughout the movie and is shown beautifully through visual storytelling, dialogue, and symbolism. The film's social commentary on the two way parasitic relationship between the rich and the poor in today's society is displayed in a very entertaining and creative way. The twists and surprises along with the super intriguing concept of this con-story made for a movie that entertains as much as any film ever made. Narratively speaking, this story is one for the ages, but it doesn't just stop there. Parasite is a beautiful film thanks to its beautiful and purposeful cinematography, and due to its well-thought out production design. Not only is Parasite a beautiful film to visually take in, but every visual aspect of this film is installed for a reason. Most of the time the visual aspects are installed to enhance the theme of class division. The editing of this film took Parasite to levels even further than already discussed. The flawless editing helped the pace of the movie feel flawless, and it enhanced the thrilling vibe that this movie gives off.

The actors in this film ground this realistic yet crazy concept of a film in reality. Without their terrific chemistry and performances, I am not sure that the film would've resonated with as many people as it did. Parasite is a beautiful ride of a movie that transcends any other film experience I've ever encountered. Parasite has invented a new genre of film that just doesn't have a name yet. It's message on how there is a parasitic relationship across classes has been relevant for centuries and will always be relevant. Because of this, the pure thrill of entertainment the movie provides, and the technical craftmanship of this film, I believe Parasite will become a film that will be recognized worldwide as one of the greatest achievements in cinema. Parasite is not only my favorite film of 2019, but it may perhaps be my favorite film of all-time.… Expand

That's what happened to me, seeing all the good review, I had over hyped hopes for this movie. I'm not gonna say they didn't live up to those expectations but.. It wasn't what I was expecting. The story is a bit all over the place and far fetched but hey that's what I'm used to in Asian horror. I'm going to say that this is a must for any asian thriller fans. The again, I don't even think it's considered a horror. Just has some creepy elements to it. I'd say with the story alone it gets a 7.. With the gorgeous cinematography, that bumps it up to an 8. Some really awesome shots from a photographer's perspective. Loved the telephone wire scene. After saying all that, don't take my word for it, actually don't read reviews at all, they can only tarnish the viewing experience.

Since it was released, it was talked, it was going for awards and it created a history in Academy Awards I was so far and keen to watch this movie and it veils the curtain now. As a movie, it is worth watching because I'm not used to the socio-political aspects of Korean culture. The film describes the class variations and social norm dividing people into rich and poor. But actually what makes me attractive is that kind comic blending at the beginning by the family to enter into the Park mansion. Going smoothly, sometimes it provides a little bit tense and frights the film has a steady graph till the end and then it hype accidentally and I feel astonished. The mood of the movie changed vice-versa and it shook me for some time. A very changing pattern of Korean society and Korean classification was the major essence that I can find in the movie.… Expand

The plot is amazing and extremely gripping with every twist and turn. Likewise, the way it tackles the social themes is so intriguing and done so extremely well even if the theme has been done many times before. The entire cast is amazing and honestly not even one of them getting a nomination for best acting is quite the robbery. Huge praise to Song Kang-ho and Park So-dam especially, they gave amazing performances. The cinematography/set design is also impressive and uniquely correlates with the ongoing story. The use of staircase and lines to tackle the ongoing theme, while not subtle, is done extremely well. The soundtrack, while not exactly memorable, manages to elevate the tense atmosphere and keep people on the edge of their seats. Finally, the film is absolutely entertaining with the way it incorporates contrasting genres, black comedy and thriller, into one surprisingly cohesive and exhilarating movie. THIS IS A MUST WATCH! It deserves best picture for a reason.… Expand

An uncategorisable masterpiece

What is one to make of the utterly uncategorisable and impossible-to-define Parasite? Part comedy of manners, part social satire, part heist film, part thriller, part horror, part family drama, part farce, partAn uncategorisable masterpiece

What is one to make of the utterly uncategorisable and impossible-to-define Parasite? Part comedy of manners, part social satire, part heist film, part thriller, part horror, part family drama, part farce, part economic treatise, part social realism, part tragedy, part allegory. What is certain is that it's exceptional in just about every way – screenplay (co-written by director Bong Joon-ho and Han Jin-won), directing, cinematography, mise en scène, editing, production design, sound design, score, acting. There's not a weak link here, in a film that achieves that rarest of things – it lives up to the hype.

The Kim family are down on their luck. Father Ki-taek (Song Kang-ho), mother Chung-sook (Chang Hyae-jin), daughter Ki-jeong (Park So-dam), and son Ki-woo (Choi Woo-shik) reside in a tiny basement apartment eking out a meagre living folding pizza boxes. However, their fortunes change when Ki-Woo bluffs his way into working as an English tutor for the daughter of the wealthy Park family. Father Dong-ik, (Lee Sun-kyun), mother Yeon-gyo (Cho Yeo-jeong), daughter Da-hye (Jung Ji-so), and son Da-song (Jung Hyeon-jun) welcome Ki-woo into their home, and upon discovering just how wealthy the Parks are, the Kims hatch an elaborate scheme to oust the Park's current domestic staff and take their places. However, it doesn't take long before things start to go very, very awry for both families.

As thoroughly entertaining (and funny) as Parasite is, it remains an economic treatise, albeit with a savagely satirical quality. This is far from the first time Bong has dealt with issues of class, but never before has he been this caustic and acerbic, but so too compassionate and witty. One of the most deftly-handled elements of the film is his avoidance of the clichés one so often finds in films dealing with economics – the Kims are by no means a victimised family immediately worthy of sympathy, whilst the Parks are by no means a callous family immediately worthy of scorn. Rather, the Parks are depicted as perfectly friendly and pleasant whilst the Kims are shown to be liars and scoundrels.

Bong is uninterested in trucking in heroes and villains because such rigid diametrics aren't the norm in the real world. For all their scheming and lying, the Kims merely con their way into menial jobs, whilst the Parks' greatest crime is allowing their wealth to insulate them from the world of families such as the Kims. At the same time, the Kims are depicted as a far more loving family than the Parks. Although all four Kims often occupy the same frame, we never see the four Parks together in the same shot. Important here is the title. A simple reading is that the Kims are the parasites and the Parks are the hosts, with the Kims feeding off the Parks' wealth and status. However, Bong depicts the Parks as parasitic as well, feeding off of the labour of their servants. Just as the Kims feed off the Parks, the Parks feed off the Kims, in what is a symbiotic relationship.

Aesthetically, Hong Kyung-pyo's cinematography is magnificent. Hong also shot the superb Beoning (2018), and the camerawork here has a similar smoothness and restlessness, gliding through the Parks' house like it's a fifth member of the Kim family. Lee Ha-jun's production design is also praise-worthy, with the Kims' cluttered and dilapidated apartment contrasted with the Parks' pristine post-modernist semi-open plan house.

It's also in relation to production design wherein one of the film's best metaphors is to be found. As a story at least partly in the tradition of the "upstairs/downstairs" subgenre, Bong literalises the separation between those above and those below by using stairways as a recurring motif. The Kims' apartment has no stairs, indicating their inability to rise socio-economically. On the other hand, the Parks' home has two stairways – one going up to the bedrooms where the four children spend an increasing amount of time, cut off from their parents, and one going down into the cellar. Bong shoots this stairway like he's suddenly directing a horror film, bestowing upon it an ominousness that, at first, makes little sense, but ultimately reveals itself to be a spectacular bit of foreshadowing.

Parasite is a masterpiece, with Bong never putting a foot wrong. It could have been a self-serving and didactic message-movie – a homily to the honour of the poor or a deconstruction of the unhappiness of the rich – but Bong is far too talented for that, avoiding rhetorical cant. Quite unlike anything I've ever seen, it works as allegory just as well as it works as social realism just as well as it works as comedy just as well as it works as tragedy and so on. This is cinema as art, a film which has proven itself very much a game-changer and completely deserving of every bit of praise it's received.… Expand

It is not this masterpiece classic to be the jackass critics and sheep Academy sing the overpraises of. The casual cursing by a family to each other throughout is oh so typical liberal depravity that artists think is fine but it's not. It debases the culture however subtly over time. The big take away of this film is affirmation there's a reason these crazy goofs can never be allowed to get a nuclear weapon.… Expand

For me it always come down to one big thing that dictates whether a movie is "good" or "great" and that's the moment you look back and realize whether or not you've been thinking about that same movie days after you've watched it or not.For me it always come down to one big thing that dictates whether a movie is "good" or "great" and that's the moment you look back and realize whether or not you've been thinking about that same movie days after you've watched it or not. Parasite is a movie you will think about for days afterwards. I don't really want to say anything else considering this movie is best viewed blind. But you need to see it.… Expand

The perfect example of contemporary art.

And that createsThe perfect example of contemporary art. Easily digestible for the masses, as it's a very entertaining film, but also extremely important and complex for those who seek more than just a way to spend 2 hours of their lives. And that creates the confusion of "good, but overrated", because this film is art disguised in common clothes.Therefore it became mainstream, and a lot more people that look for fast-food cinema ended up watching it. So obviously they cannot understand where the 10/10 and the 100% are coming from. Their confusion is justified. But just because you are not qualified enough to get it, doesn't mean it's trash or "overrated".

Even though I adore this film, I only suggest it ti people that I know can and will appreciate it. It's a shame to watch this film through the eyes of a Marvel/DC-fanboy. So if you're not into this kind of cinema, better stay away. Don't jump into the train just because it's "in" atm. However, if you like an extremely funny, impeccably made and thought provoking film, that will stay with you for days after you watched it, and you are ready to actually concentrate and pay attention to details, then what the **** are you doing? Go watch it right now!… Expand

Kesinlikle harika bir film. Günümüzün sosyal değerlerine ve sınıf ayrımcılığının ne kadar itici bir şey olduğuna çok güzel dokundurmalar yapan şahane bir yapıt. Komedi, dram ve suç ancak bu kadar iyi harmanlanabilirdi.

This suspense thriller is articulated with so much control that it keeps any viewer invested for more.
