it's about time that the Oscars pay attention to these topics

Rating: 10/10 (11 May 2020)

Bong Joon-ho's "Gisaengchung" ("Parasite" in English) became the first foreign-language movie to win Best Picture at the Academy Awards. And it was a deserved win. Like "Joker", it employs some unusual methods to address class conflict in modern society. To crown everything, it takes a subtly comedic approach to the topic!
A lot of people had never heard of Bong before this movie. I've known about him ever since I saw "The Host". I've seen a couple of other Korean movies in addition to his movies. If this movie gets people interested in Korean cinema, then all the better; some great movies come from there. But in the meantime, this movie probably says more about modern society than just about any other movie from last year. Definitely see it.
