Five reasons why it blew

Rating: 1/10 (8 March 2020)

First, for the film to make sense you need to believe at least four things about Koreans: all those who are poor can turn into skilled con artists on a dime, all those who are rich are gullible disinterested idiots, all Koreans are despicable, and Koreans from the same family never look alike ... or maybe all Koreans look alike, then no one can't tell if Korean people are related or not based on the way they look...
Second, "Parasite" is actually two films: the first one, a kind of comedy, somehow funny, in which you don't follow characters but their schemes; and the second one, a kind of drama/thriller without tragedy, nor mystery, nor surprising, nor excitement, nor sadness ... a film that I would call "What?"
Third, deus ex machinas. Brilliant. The midpoint came from nowhere and switched the entire pace and genre. Then, a plague happened. Yes, a plague. Literally. Like in the Bible, but without the fantasy, the rubbish moral, nor the divine purpose that normally comes in a peplum. Nothing. And, the funny part is, just before the first deus ex machina, I thought: "This film is going nowhere." Well, the writers thought as well, so...
Fourth, all the characters are pathetically unlikable. They only show flaws. You don't want to be them; you don't want to be with them ... not at the beginning, nor in the middle, nor in the end. What's the point? Was I supposed to care about someone? Might as well do a film featuring families of parasites! No, wait... Moreover, and this is the biggest weakness of the film, the characters are not developed. They are all one-dimensional people and they never evolve, only your perspective of them could change when then go through the deus ex machinas, but nothing of interest. And as the relationships between the characters are not exploited nor elaborated, when something positive or negative happens, we don't care.
Fifth, if you want to create metaphors, write poetry. I need a story. Avoid at all cost, it's a waste of time. I gave it a point because I had to read subtitles, and reading is good for my brain.
