Have you seen PARASITE yet?

Have you seen Bong Joon-ho's 2019 film PARASITE yet? Everyone was talking about it so I checked it out. Hmm...

At first I thought it was a horror film about germs (thanks to the poster), but it's about a family of grifters and a violent/funny allegory about class difference. During the first half I thought it was kind of cheesy and I was watching best-foreign-film-Oscar-bait, but as it went on and got more involved I was very impressed. A great story, well-told, with an uncompromising plot. Weird film. It's stuck with me a few days!

It is pretty unique. Everyone I know loves it. There is so much attention to details in that wealthy home: the lights, food, dishes, books.

I wish more directors would storyboard their shots like Bong Jon Ho instead of doing the lazy, alternating over the shoulder shots that so many movies have. I also liked that the night scenes weren't just blue and rainy like many American movies. The movie is great example of design and camera work coming together. The actors are all great, too.

I don't like 3D movies but I'd be curious to see Demi Moore

Am I supposed to feel sorry for these people?

I get they’re trying to make social commentary on classism. But I don’t like any of the characters in the film, so I don’t care for the film.

If there was any justice, the smelly Mr. Kim would have been stabbed.

hated the ending. would have been great as satire/black comedy about classism

There are some very stupid people in this thread who didn't have the intelligence to understand this film.

This is what is out there and Hollywood is good at stealing the ideas.

What's the audience like? I'd like to see it but I don't like to go to the movie theater anymore (I've overheard that I have a gigantic head).

Yes. Will win Oscar.
