Dark approach from a lighter style discussing a heavy theme

Rating: 8/10 (4 July 2019)

Parasite probably is one of well-advertised Palm D'Or recipient when it is commercially released in my country, even some of our famous directors like the movie. However, after watching this movie, my friend is confused because she can't point a finger about what's the topic of the movie.
Advertised as "tragicomedy", Gisaengchung probably doesn't have a firm genre to stand with, since dramedy is heavily used in the first half before continue the movie with more thriller solution. In the surface, we understand what's this movie about. A poor family starts to "leech" on a rich family without told that they are one. Some scenes provide laughs and eerie feeling, but it's not escalating until the second half, when more bloody scenes are showing, but not with much explanation.
Since the second half aren't that long, I found that as an audience we must dissect the nature of the action, making a real difference than the light first half. When thinking, I slowly understand that this movie is a rich vs poor act that have to be buried because it will makes chaos. The chaos, gives a "dark" approach to the theme, but sugarcoated with some tragic and comedy nature of the movie.
The dissecting itself what maybe can't swallowed at one time like my friend. Unfortunately, upon having the realization, this movie doesn't give me that much impression like the others say. Nevertheless, it's still a highly recommended viewing option.
