Mastering the basics

Rating: 9/10 (4 March 2020)

South Korean cinema is taking more and more presence in the film industry, proof of them was the last installment of the Oscars, where the main protagonist of the night was the director Bong Joon-ho, who has made several films of diverse genres , among the best known we can find "Snowpiercer" and "Okja, whose original language is in English, and are productions with original content, with details of great value that makes them hardly unnoticed; However, where this director's genius is really appreciated is in his films "The Host", "Mother" and "Memories of Murder", really outstanding films, full of surprises and unexpected endings, so in truth my emotion startled the find out that he made another movie, after 10 years since the last one!
"Parasites" is one of the most acclaimed films at the Cannes festival and even won the golden palm, in turn was acclaimed in the "Oscar Awards" and won the best film, best International film and best director.
Like many of his previous films, he manages to put elements of comedy and drama, comedy is well written and inserted in such a structured way that he cannot take seriousness from the other scenes that were sometimes extremely dramatic, exciting and in some terrifying parts.
This film is the culmination of Bong as a total author, since he manages to link several genres in a total collision and thus generate the magic he looks for in one of his works, because "Parasites" is one of those works so well spun in its history and in the way in which it is said that he manages to wrap the viewer so that he cannot get rid of the screen.
Like all the great movies in history, I consider the experience to be better if you don't know too much about what you are going to experience (I hate spoilers). So I will not reveal almost anything about the plot, I will only mention that several genres at the same time, a comedy, then a thriller and even a robbery movie. It is a really ambitious film and there is too much happening in matters of messages and themes, it is also incredibly well acted thanks to the depth of the characters.

It is a really accessible film that can be enjoyed, because it is one of "those films" that you can show people who generally do not choose to watch Asian films, since it entertains you from the beginning and never gets boring, highlighting that It is taken with a beautiful cinematography, the music is fantastic with proper use, and all the characters add to the experience, making it not feel that time is wasted.
Movie I would definitely see again.
