Good (for pseudo intellectuals)

Rating: 6/10 (24 March 2020)

First of all I want to say that this is not a bad movie and I'll talk about the good things later. I want to start with the bad ones because there are already apparently thousands of reviews talking about how good the film is.
I also want the reader to realize that for a foreign movie, Parasite is extremely comercial, and easy to watch. This of course is not bad but it's important to mention.
In fact, in certain tones and aspects during this film, it could remind the viewer of a Quentin Tarantino movie, in particular during the Ending. Satiric ending full of violence. Speaking of this part of the movie, I believe that certain scenes were not needed at all. For example when "The rich guy" aka Mr Park tries not to smell the dead body while getting the keys.
It was back in 1960 when Billy Wilder (arguably the best film director and screenwriter of all time) became the first person to win Academy Awards as producer, director, and screenwriter for the same film. It was for the movie "The Apartment" starring Jack Lemmon and Shirley McLaine. This movie is a masterpiece. And since then not many other directors have achieved the same thing. In the 2020 Oscars Bong Joon-ho joined Wilder in such an important achievement. It wouldn't be very subjective to think that it was not well deserved.
This could have possibly been done in order to expand Asian market in Hollywood, by making use of the current popularity of Korean culture.
As I said the movie is not bad, it has a solid photography and editing and script that led to an exciting and brilliant tempo. I really like the first part of the movie because I think the director sets up the story in a intriguing and appealing way however after the beginning the movie looses power in many elements.
Many people love this movie because of its message. I find this rather silly because it's a quite simple message, The difference between the rich and the poor? Is this a radical or new message in any way? I do not think so.
In fact I believe this movie is great for pseudo intellectuals, because actually watching a foreign film and liking it (this movie is easy to like because of its commercial features mentioned above) makes your ego go as high as the empire state.
