Cinematographic Masterpiece!

Rating: 10/10 (12 April 2020)

'Parasite' illustrates the Kim's persistent inclination to transcend social classes. It is essentially a realistic scrutinization of how the rich and poor are parasitic towards one another, however the beauty of this film is that this idea merely one of the countless interpretations out there. Each scene in this film has been articulated with such thought, while subtle, and the use of cinematography, mis-en-scene, motif and symbolism (to name a few film techniques prevalent) all cohesively work together to portray the social disparity. There is so much yet so little going on...for me, this film was minimalistic but incredibly insightful and meaningful. It is the epitome of perfection.
I also love Choi Woo Sik, he is easily one of my favourite actors. This movie, from the actors to the filming is absolutely flawless. If you don't want to watch it because you don't want to read subtitles, well you're missing something incredibly special. Bong-Joon Ho is a genius, alongside the many amazing members of the production team. They all worked together to create such a masterpiece.
A good movie leaves you speechless after but a GREAT movie, like Parasite, will keep you invested for months and months and perhaps, for the rest of your life because of how realistic this is.
Amazing movie, 10/10
