Parasite lives up to all the hype. It's funny, it's thrilling, it's heartbreaking, it's fun.
Bong Joon Ho blew my mind. This film will probably remain in my mind forever.
The must see movie of 2019!

Y nos quedamos con esta imagen hasta que se da el primer movimiento de cámara del filme, cuando ésta desciende y, sentado en el suelo del sótano, vemos a uno de los protagonistas de esta última producción de de Bong Joon-ho. Solo con eso, el director y el cinematógrafo han establecido el tema principal de la película, que será desarrollado a lo largo de 132 minutos: el lugar que ocupan los pobres y los marginados. Bong Joon-ho es un cineasta muy sencillo. Sus películas cuentan historias complejas, de profundo contenido social, pero siempre utilizando los recursos cinematográficos más básicos para reforzarlos. Sus películas son, para el ojo entrenado, lo que una sinfonía de Bethoveen es para un oído entrenado: sublimes. Y lo mejor de todo es que no necesitas años de entrenamiento tipo conservatorio para apreciar lo sublime en los filmes de Joon-ho. Solo necesitas mirar con atención.

Todo está en los ángulos y los movimientos de cámara. Es con ellos que Bong Joon-ho deletrea los aspectos más importantes de su trama, mientras el guion y las actuaciones se encargan de desarrollarla. Para eso el director coreano se vale de un control absoluto de lo que muestra, cómo lo muestra y a qué ritmo lo muestra. Hay que pensar en sus películas como coreografías entre el elenco y la cámara, llenas de escenas en las que cada movimiento importa porque todo relata o refuerza algo. Por eso Joon-ho nunca se complica demasiado con su cinematografía –aunque sí con los objetos, la profundidad y los colores de su diseño de escenarios–, y más bien mantiene sus ángulos y movimientos de cámara dentro de lo básico y consistente. De esta forma, una vez que entramos en ritmo, podemos bailar con su filme, tal como el elenco está danzando con la cámara.

Y eso nunca fue más cierto que en Parasite (2019), donde Bong Joon-ho refina su habilidad de ser leve en el caos y oscuro en la levedad. Como dije ya, la película comienza con un movimiento de cámara que nos introduce a la pobreza de un hogar de gente que tiene que hacer de todo para conseguir dinero y sobrevivir. A lo largo del filme los veremos abajo, intentando ascender y lográndolo a medida que la película es una divertida y perversa comedia en la que esta familia pobre se infiltra como la servidumbre de un lujoso hogar de gente adinerada. Es tan básico y consistente el lenguaje visual de Joon-ho que a esta familia adinerada la muestra siempre arriba: ubica su hogar en las colinas, los separa de su servidumbre por líneas naturales del escenario, los pone en espacios iluminados y abiertos para remarcar la claustrofobia en la que viven los otros, los marginados.

Parasite es un filme que está en constante diálogo consigo mismo. Cada acto, cada escena, tienen una consecuencia a lo largo de una película cuyo giro pareciera cambiarla por completo. Bong Joon-ho es un maestro del tono, puede hacerte reír en un momento oscuro y despertar un miedo dentro de ti en el momento más ridículo. Pero en Parasite esto es más intenso. De una comedia perversa pasamos a un caos contundente, a algo tan extraño y tan violento que seguramente es cierto. Y en realidad es un giro de trama que no hace más que reforzar el tema principal: el lugar de la pobreza en la sociedad, cómo funciona la división de clases o, en palabras del mismo Joon-ho, cómo en una sociedad capitalista la unión solo es posible en cómo una clase utiliza a la otra. ¡Y el elenco! Cada actor y actriz encarnan a sus personajes de una manera tan efectiva, que no dudamos de ellos ni cuando la historia da su giro. Joon-ho ha trabajo con grandes como Tilda Swimton, Jake Gyllenhall, Ed Harris, Chris Evans y los resultados son increíbles, pero habla muy bien de él que pueda hacer lo mismo y hasta tal vez más con un elenco de su Corea del Sur natal –entre ellos su actor mimado Song Kang-ho– desconocidos para una gran mayoría. Para cuando llega el final de la película –ese final delirante que nos deletrea la imposibilidad de ascender que tienen la clase baja y hasta la clase media–, el elenco ha hecho tan buen trabajo que ese último golpe de la trama a los personajes, es también un golpe a nosotros, a nuestras propias fantasías económicas, es un llamado a mirar de nuevo como dividimos las clases en nuestras sociedades.… Expand

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. Parasite (Gisaengchung), for sure, is one of the best films I've ever seen.… Expand

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

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

Do make sure that if you watch this with subtitles that they are good subtitles that are large and are a colour that won’t blend in with backgrounds - I watch this as a PPV and the subtitles were these tiny white ones that disappeared into light coloured dogs, floors, and walls and this is a movie where you need to know what characters are saying.… Expand

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.

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 writing is amazing, with great performances and characters. The film follows the Kim family, a poor family of four, who begin to leech off of the Park family, a naive rich family, by slowly taking over their house. It’s a terrific film, with so many pertinent lines of dialogue and overarching themes, complemented by a story filled to the brim with thought provoking allegory.

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

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The reason this movie is so good is because of its symbols. Without symbols, a movie can never reach the depths of emotion that it might. The rock, for example, is a really good symbol. I think it represents the family's aspirations for wealth, and also represents a blessing that will bring them wealth (as Min said). It becomes a powerful metaphor when you see the basement dwelling guy use it to bash Ki-woo (the son)'s head. What I think this means is that poor people often sabotage other poor people's chances for wealth (the basement dweller trying to kill Ki-woo). And sometimes it's our own dreams (like the rock) that destroy us. The metaphor becomes even more meaningful when you see that the rock was fake (as rocks can't float in water, yet this rock floated in the sewage when the house was flooded), meaning that the "blessing that was going to give them material wealth" was never actually going to happen. This poor family will stay poor forever, as Ki-taek (the father) represents. Ki-taek was constantly reminded of his place in society by his smell. No matter how much he tried to fit in with the rich family as their driver, he always smelled bad. And that solidified his place as a poor person. When Mr. Park (the rich family's father) was going to get the keys from under the basement dweller's body, he was absolutely repulsed by the smell of poverty that the basement dweller emitted. Ki-taek, with his daughter (and the family's only chance of being rich, as she was the only one who fit in with the rich people) dying beneath him, finally snapped at seeing this aversion to the smell of poor people. Because to Ki-taek, this disgust that Mr. Park displayed towards the "poor smell", represented the disgust that Mr. Park had for poor people. Including him. So he killed him out of rage and desperation. These are just some of the symbols in Parasite.
There were also other good elements in the movie. The acting, suspense, plot, visual design, sound design and camerawork were all great. But the symbols, for me, are what solidify the movie's rating as a 10. In the words of Ki-woo, "Wow, this is so metaphorical."… Expand

Since engaging with another society far from your culture isI can undoubtedly say Parasite was one of the most touching movies I have watched. I was not expecting a foreign language, occurring in a foreign society would affect me so much. Since engaging with another society far from your culture is rather perplexing especially in a movie But, every element of this movie was so well put together that dragged the audience from the beginning to the end without a blink. The ending was not maybe what viewers anticipated from the beginning, but it wasn't too far out of sight either. The soundtracks were meticulously composed with a purpose for each scene to convey the emotion that the director wants to the audience. Because Parasite has played with all my emotions from happiness to sorrow throughout the film and the soundtracks along with the actors were exceptional in deliberating this story to us. This movie pictures the extreme gap between the classes in a society. The story begins with a family who is struggling to make ends meet by folding pizza boxes and selling them and live in half of the basement in a very poor neighbourhood. Their son is taking over a friend's job to teach English in a very wealthy house. The family one by one find their way into the wealthy family household by working for them, from cook to chauffeur. The movie started as a comedy then shifts to a thriller, drama and eventually a bit of horror. The movie is shedding light on the problems of society that is rarely talked about. It has made me realize there are struggles in the society that we don't see. The working poor and underclass are not right in front of us. We are all living in one place, but they are the ones who have to crumple in half a basement with the very poor living condition. TIf you want an eye-opening movie that shows you the brutalities of a capitalist world, then this is the movie for you. It makes you wonder what else is happening in a society that you have no slightest idea? It gives you insights into rarely discussed struggles in societies that don't care much about the poor. I don't want to spoil it more than I did already, but I have deeply been thinking about the effect of society on people. What one might do to reach the top? How much this gap between classes put pressure on lower classes? This movie has brilliantly pictured the answer to these questions.… Expand

I even fact checked the movie after and was floored to find how truly faithful this movie is to the real events.

If you grew up with the animated film Balto, I can’t recommend the watch more, it takes the story of a dog mushing adventure that we loved as kids but made for the whole family - and especially us adults. Willem Dafoe again proves his worth as an actor, giving a beautiful performance and Julianne Nicholson was a brilliant cast to back his character up.
