This is such a good movie. After hearing so much buzz about this film at the Oscars, somehow I still had no idea what the movie was about going into it.A great moment for Korean cinema and an extremely thought provoking film.
Parasite tells the story of the Kim family and their life-changing involvement with the Park family.
If you want to be told a story, but without too much detail upfront that would give it all away, sit down for this one.Boong Joon Ho directs this Oscar winning movie about the disreputable behaviour of a Korean family who infiltrate the home and lives of a wealthy couple by gradually taking over the roles of domestic helpers.The Parks family is the opposite of all of this.Naive,not so much - probably just out of touch with the real world. The first hour of the movie it was more of a comedy but after that everything changed.The whole ambiance changed, and I was literally shook all the time after that happened.
The actors were great, the plot was super strong, and I can't say enough good things about how beautiful this film is just to look at.Though I really did enjoy the film, I personally, didn't think this deserved the Oscar win for best movie as although a strong and powerful tale, for me, there were better films in the preceding year. I also do not think this is the best of Boong Joon Ho's movies. However, the fact that it did win is to be applauded as a massive step forward in the recognition that there are movies made outside Hollywood.

It isn't an easy ride, and as with life in the real world, the destination is always uncertain. You'll see strange and wonderful things along the way.
Parasite also perfectly presents the subject of classism, showing us how both the working class and the upper class view each other and the people around them.
Taking everything into account,Parasite is truly a work of art, a sheer masterpiece.
