Everybody please calm down

Rating: 7/10 (10 February 2020)

Alright so I see a lot of words like BRILLIANT and PERFECT being thrown around and I have to admit.. going into the movie I had some pretty high expectations. I love the suspense Korean directors/writers are able to portray in their movies and tend to create some pretty memorable and surprising endings.
Having said that I watched Parasite with the anticipation that I was in for a wild ride.
First half of this movie I was mildly entertained. I thought to myself okay this seems to be more of a comedic approach to a subject that has been explored countless times in movies. I then thought to myself, wait a minute, the main characters are actually kind of evil. And the rich folks, beside the remarks about crossing lines and Mr. Kims funny smell, seem pretty naive yet nice.
I wasn't sure who we were suppose to like in this movie as i quickly found myself not really rooting for anyone. I didn't really connect with anyone. I just kept thinking they were smart enough to pull off this scheme but were not smart enough to think ahead at making the best of this opportunity?
Instead pride is what seems to ultimately lead to their downfall... They basically lived in a gutter before all this...
NOW sure we can talk about how beautifully it was shot and no doubt the acting was excellent but while this was a good movie it was far from being excellent. Its a good movie. Lets all calm down...
