All in one!

Rating: 10/10 (12 March 2020)

Amazing film, completely worthy of the Oscars it won. It did not follow the typical three act story, instead, it is like watching two movies in one: the first part, a comedy or satire, the second part was more like a thriller. However, the screenplay and the photography made both parts feel as a whole. During the 132-minute movie, it put the audience through many different emotional states. It is a movie that develops many topics resulting from the capitalist world and the increasing difference of the wealth of the rich people and the misery of the poor. It explains the differences between the social classes, emphasizing not only how the opportunities are different for both, but also how climate change affect them differently. However, is not the typical movie that romanticizes the working class, but rather show them with disunity among them and as people who live from the wealth of their masters and do not hesitate to smash others for a little bit of wealth. Moreover, both classes do not seem to understand nor show some care among them. The wealthy people live from the work of the poor, while the poor live from the wealth of the rich...then, who is the parasite, are there more than one? Another thing the director shows in this movie is the social death resulting from poverty. All this is shown in screen through a complex yet understandable symbolism and the mood is perfectly settled with the music. The photography and editing is also really good, my favorite part was a montage with combined more than 20 scenes. A piece of art to enjoy!
