Thrilling and sometimes gullible at the same time

Rating: 8/10 (11 February 2020)

Parasite is undoubtebly an outstanding movie. The plot is clever and jam-packed with twists, the actors do a fabulous work, the concept and the story is ambitious and it is all held together by a crippling atmosphere. It is alltogether thought provoking, it exposes our societys fundamental problems and contradictions.
While not arguing Parasites worthiness for all the nominations and prizes it has received (including the four Oscars), I must point out one weakness (I might be amongs the few considering it one), that made me give it only eight stars. In some scenes, I have found the movie just as gullible as Mr. Park and his wife. One example for this the way Kim and his family get out of the house after the owners come home. It is so naive that it would perfectly fit into a Home alone movie. I know that this senselessness is an essential of the movie and is supposed to bring a grotesque balance to it, but it also makes the film quite predictable.
But even this predictability is not able to ruin this work of art, and that makes one realize how marvelous Parasite is despite all if its flaws.
