I guess I just don't get it

Rating: 5/10 (2 March 2020)

One Sunday night I eagerly watched the oscars, hoping my favorite movie of the year once upon a time... in hollywood would win several awards. While it won a few I was shocked to see parasite win so many. A few weeks later I decided to rent the movie and watch. And after 2 hours I can say that I don't think it's all that great. Let's start with the positives. I enjoyed the comedy. There were several bits that had me laughing. They were probably not in the same spots others would usually laugh but nevertheless I thought the movie was decently funny. I thought the acting was pretty good too. Both sides of the family pulled off a pretty believable take on the rich and the poor. But that's all I can really say I liked about the movie. About halfway into the movie I turned to the person I was watching it with and told them that "This movie must get pretty great within the next 45 minutes amiright" I had heard so much about the many twists and turns of the movie and I can say that they're really wasn't ever a big twist for me. I mean there was one. That one lead to the entire 3rd act of the movie so I can't really say it was all too surprising. As a person who has loved
Movies since I was a mere lad I can say this wasn't anything too groundbreaking, and can definitely say if it was made the same exact way expect by an American, the movie would be perceived as sucky and unoriginal. I really tried to enjoy this movie but I just couldn't. Maybe someday I'll revisit it and see something in it.
