Silly Script, Silly Message

Rating: 3/10 (27 March 2020)

A low-class, jobless, loser family unexpectedly turns out to be a bunch of devilishly refined intriguers who invade (like parasites) an innocent high-class family. Many irrealistic turns. The end is both pathetic and ridiculous. The script is both psychologically and socially inane.
What a shame that Kim Ki-Duk the great Korean director has never won an Oscar, and this patchwork has.
All the high-class characters are just humane, and all the low-class ones are corrupt. I'm very surprised reading in reviews and criticisms that this film was leftist or critical about capitalism and inequality in any way. It wasn't. The message is the old high-class commonplace that wealth makes you noble, and poverty ignoble. No question about whether creating such inequalities, wealth, and poverty systematically was noble or ignoble. It's just natural condition, y'know, that's life, a great struggle with winners and losers. The happy end of the film is that one of the parasites finally decides to make money, so everything will be solved.
I'm afraid that this message was the reason why the brave new winner people loved this movie so much, and also why they have all misunderstand it.
