What happens AFTER you watch the film is very intriguing.

So PARASITE...this film makes you think and laugh and gasp all in one scene. Part of me felt like a voyeur watching a film about the political and socio-economic problems in the Koreas. There was so much symbolism. The class struggles, the haves and have nots, the disparities, and "blindness" of the rich toward the underprivileged and disenchanted, forced to live underground. The"peeing man" for me, represented the Elvis loving crazy dictator, 45's favorite, potential button pushing maniac, he scares me. Kim Jong-un, who is reckless and careless and pees all over everyone anytime he pleases, yet no one can stop him...sound familiar? This film took satirical chances that we do not always take in American filmmaking. And with an unstable, murderer at the helm of a shaky ship in N. Korea that was bold, very bold. It went everywhere and took us on quite a journey. IMHO, I felt it went to crazy town once the Con Artist family made the underground discovery and then it just crashed through the ceiling at the party. BUT, it made me think and I was compelled to talk about it and wrestle with what I just watched after it was over. Isn't that what film is for?
