dok-do is located bewteen Korea and Japan, and dok-do is historically and now, an area of Korea. But Japan continuously insists that dok-do is Japan's island, because dok-do enables Japan to get much more areas in ocean. So the song "dok-do is our land" shows us the information, history, location, the value of dok-do.
that ansel engort teaching al pacino quote is really helpful to describe how the korean audience see affected star factor in this movie, thus it affect me too now
A master class on how to build up to a doozy of a punchline. Instead of using guns and explosions to build the tension, Bong Joon-Ho uses peach fuzz and hot sauce. Brilliant.
LOL it happened in my own family where the cook moved his entire family in and pushed everyone else out. This guy would have made a great politician. He managed to persuade my parents to kick out the driver, the security guard, the maid and the gardner.. When he was fired, he took everyone with him. Thankfully, there was no bloodbath before he left.
David Garcia there are much symbolism, and reduced Hollywoodlish energy may feel flat to many, but as an aspiring film director one of the greatest modern classic film of ALL TIME hands down.
@@cfbg Well, actually I'm giving Hollywood too much credit. Until they give a Korean movie an award, it still hasn't noticed it yet. It's the American audience who has embraced Korean movies, not Hollywood. Just to be clear.
What made me thinking was how differents their TV industry and music industry have with this movie, old boy , train to busan and or the wailing. Especially the actor, they are totally different and separatae entities altogether. I realise almost none of them have plastic surgery (except for the rich family mother) ,while TV actor mostly actor with surgery. And none of my lady colleague that love to watch korean TV drama,like or even knew korean masterpiece like this.
@Dark of the knight It has to be clarified that the Korean drama series like Descendants of the Sun and Korean film industry are two vastly different entertainment offerings. Most of the drama series are like soaps. But then again, the Koreans also make their soaps more interesting than any other soap. So it's next level soap. But their movies, especially from their best directors, are really high quality production movies.
@@mae-mx1rt you do realize that the person is right and this is true and the case for literally any culture/country? Even when you watch a disney movie as a kid certain scenes are confusing or not as funny if you're not from the US and know little about it. You wouldn't say anything if this was about any other country but because it's Korea suddenly knowledge is cringy huh -.-
has there ever been a best picture oscar for a foreign film?? no. sadly, the Oscars only care about American films. I remember Bong Joon Ho said that they were too local
I saw “The Irishman” and “Parasite” over a span of three days. Scorsese certainly knows his craft, but compared to Bong’s film, “The Irishman” feels unsubstantial and inconsequential.
Nathan River its fair. If both directors still make movies, they know they gotta get compared to. And age doesnt have anything to do with movie making unless its health problems
@@epg96 I do, indeed. First language in fact. Going back to the movie, the translator did a very good job. Some of the lines were very tricky (very local) but he/she managed to get the gist of it correct.
Just got back from seeing this film. WOW! What a brilliantly written and cleverly funny satire of social classes. Definitely one of the best films I’ve seen this year!
Daisy u obviously don’t understand the film then. This movie is not necessarily about the level of poverty ppl are in. It is about the divide between the poor and rich and how there is big it really is. It’s also about generational poverty. And for you to say that only junkies and alcoholics are poor is ignorant as it still does not mean that they are the ONLY poor ppl in the Netherlands.
Dola _00 she is the type of rich ppl the film mentioned, they are incapable of understanding the poor, they have their own version in their head of what the poor is and refuse to accept anything below it as “people” , it not her fault though, being born in that environment would make you detach from eeality
Nerdy family version of Mission Impossible lol - classic Bong Joon-Ho - I like how he states that the son is the director and the father is like the amateur actor when in reality Song Kong Ho is a veteran in South Korean cinema and highly regarded for his talents. Wish the director said all this at my screening and I definitely would have added it into my youtube review of the film 😅😅😅
Would have loved to see his take on the full scene, which has one of the best comedic payoffs. What they "find" when they get back to the house had me in stitches. There were people in the audience cheering. Brilliant filmmaking.
The scene when the little boy looks at the steps to the cellar and slowly the prisoner man slowly creeps his face up the steps sent chills deep into my spine I never felt so creeped out so deep in myself. Horror films like Annabelle or anything never did that to me. I could barely watch that scene but his eyes were crazy
Lydia tea I forgot about this scene and I got reminded again reading your comment. It's now 2 a.m. where I live and I think I won't be asleep anytime soon.
It's still imaginable though as the contrast between korean culture and western culture isnt too large (in fact if you change the setting to the US the movie wouldn't change that much) it just needs a good director
I laughed so hard watching this movie while feeling cringed so many times. It's a shame that subtitles do not convey the full effects of the movie as it does in Korean. If you are a Korean, or if you know Korean culture well, this movie gets even better from what was already a masterpiece. This scene and the car interview scene, how the camera zoomed on the coffee in a slow-motion-it was too good to be real on that screen.
I thought he was going relate mission impossible movie to this one. Anyway, it's one of the best movies I've ever seen. I didn't knew anything about Korean movies an year ago , but now I can name some of the actors. That's how I've become involved in watching South Korean movies. Nothing but respect for these masters of art.
i saw this film i think its about horror movies like parasite make zombie or something keep waiting and waiting to happen until im realize at half the movie XD
I never noticed this sequence was like the sequences we commonly see in heist films, but that's what it was, and why it was so funny and exhilarating. Song Kang Ho's expression when he holds the bloody tissue is one of everyone's favorite moments.
My favorite scene is when the old maid begins to imitate the north Korean TV news host. If you like the actor who plays the dad of the poor family, there is a video made by Netflix, named "Made in Korea" where he plays as south Korean drug Lord. He is a talented actor.
The reason the scene was so good because it felt so grounded by touching the very common (but hidden) aspect of low-class people in Korea - honestly some of the habit shown in film is rarely shown in other films. Yet it was so bizarre and flimsy that you confused if this might happen in real life.
It almost goes without saying that this is the best movie of the year. I think with the benefit of hindsight, one day people will be talking about Parasyte as one of the best of the decade, I can't think of many that I enjoyed so thoroughly on every level.
Parasite gave me vibes from The Pearl novel. The rock which Ki-woo obtained is like the pearl which initially promised wealth & dreams but eventually brought their downfall.
just realised, if the mum was truly paying attention she would wonder why the selfie he took for his wife only had half his face. for his story to be truly concrete it, he had to be a little further away to get his full face plus the housekeeper in the background
Parasite is funny! It's a tragedy ultimately but very entertaining throughout and very funny. When the dad pulls out the tissue with sauce on it I was dying!!
metaphorically, the plot of the movie happened and it's still really happening to our society. the house resembles the society, the upper part of it resembles the rich, and the bunker part resembles the poor. think metaphorically and you'll get many2x lessons in this movie.
The husband-wife getting intimate on the couch scene while the 3 were trapped under the table was nerve racking while hilarious. It might have been even more humorous if Song Kang Ho was shown getting physically aroused (base reflex overriding cognition).
"Jessica, only child, Illinois, Chicago."....
..."I'm a classmate of your cousin."
@@theinfestedterran777 This song's name is our land, "dok-do", Search the "dok-do" in Korea.
@@메가도스 Neat thank you!
Fyi, here's a link to the original songs, which is about 'Dok-do', the island of Korea.

Whqt? Al pacito?
@@alishag1662 Everybody know Al Pacino even in Korea. They're just pretending like don't know who he is. It's joking.
A master class on how to build up to a doozy of a punchline. Instead of using guns and explosions to build the tension, Bong Joon-Ho uses peach fuzz and hot sauce. Brilliant.
And a "send" button
This movie seems like it can never happen in real life but the scary thing is that it can

It happens.
@Fuzzy McBabyHead yeah that's really not that true
@Fuzzy McBabyHead
I don't think this movie meant to be realistic.
@Fuzzy McBabyHead
I think what he meant is that there a possibility that some unwanted guests lives inside someone property.
The whole sequence ending with him showing the hot sauce napkin is one of the most satisying and entertaining scenes I've ever seen
That felt so unrealistic, it didn't work for me.
I love the Fake Tuberculosis sequence.
SuperAvocado if THAT is where your suspension of disbelief stopped, this movie probably isnt for you
I was laughing out loud!
This movie is one of the greatest movie I've ever seen in my life. Absolutely amazing
Wow, i gotta go see this movie, i love Korean movies, but i don't always have a chance to see some.
David Garcia agree.
David Garcia there are much symbolism, and reduced Hollywoodlish energy may feel flat to many, but as an aspiring film director one of the greatest modern classic film of ALL TIME hands down.
David Garcia I agree - Lighthouse was def film of the year for me
So many movies were overhyped at festivals but this one lived up to expectations
Koreans have been making the best movies since the millennium. It’s almost criminal that Hollywood is only noticing now. But that might soon change.
Korean cinema is in a different league.

*I cringed, I laughed, I gasped, I left the theater in total amazement. Mind blowing GREAT movie.*
a masterpiece plain and simple
I have to watch this movie this week
Film of the year. Honestly it's one of the few times watching a film when I realized that I was watching a masterpiece
Adriano Vazquez It feels like I was watching classic Akira Kurosawa at his prime.... absolutely amazing, and REFRESHING
@@inhim05 this would be a perfect companion piece to HIGH AND LOW. Which is my favorite kurosawa film
exactly, this movie is even funnier and hits more for Koreans or people who are familiar with Korean culture.

This movie better be nominated for best picture
It should at least win Best Foreign film
@Om Patel nah
@Om PatelPatel its not the best film made this year, the second act guaranteed it. but i won't be surprised if it won best cinematography!!
has there ever been a best picture oscar for a foreign film?? no. sadly, the Oscars only care about American films. I remember Bong Joon Ho said that they were too local
@@horyaah5721 roma was nominated
RESPECT!
ha!
MR PARK RESPECT
i genuinely laughed a that, and I usually dont laugh. :-)
This movie is absolutely fantastic. A masterpiece! Hope it wins an Oscar.
i drove 2 hours to charlotte to watch this and was not disappointed. i felt all emotions during this film..
I saw “The Irishman” and “Parasite” over a span of three days. Scorsese certainly knows his craft, but compared to Bong’s film, “The Irishman” feels unsubstantial and inconsequential.
100% agree
It almost feels unfair to compare the two. Parasite is Bong at his prime. The Irishman is Scorsese past his prime.
Nathan River its fair. If both directors still make movies, they know they gotta get compared to. And age doesnt have anything to do with movie making unless its health problems
As a Korean-American, I am so proud of director Bong. Hoping for SK's first Oscar win!
Ah cool, do u also speak Korean?

This movie is a must see. Periodt.
Just got back from seeing this film. WOW! What a brilliantly written and cleverly funny satire of social classes. Definitely one of the best films I’ve seen this year!
This movie is like a onion, so many different layers to peel!
I can't get over how perfect this movie is
Brilliant film. I hope they'll sweep all the awards this year
What's amazing about the movie is that it's theme is applicable in every country on the planet. Absolutely genius!
Daisy u must be very naive and ignorant then 🤦🏾♀️
Daisy every single country in this planet has poor ppl and There are many ppl who live
like this even in “first world countries” .
Daisy u obviously don’t understand the film then. This movie is not necessarily about the level of poverty ppl are in. It is about the divide between the poor and rich and how there is big it really is. It’s also about generational poverty.

Bong Joon-Ho is a mastermind , he must get nominated for an Oscar if not win one
I think people care more about the Oscars than the actual film makers but yeah, whatever
He won the Palme D'or. Who needs an Oscar when you have that?
Hollywood is too racist to reward Asian masterpieces. It's not gonna happen.

Absolute masterpiece
Best movie of my life. Can't stop thinking about it.

Would have loved to see his take on the full scene, which has one of the best comedic payoffs. What they "find" when they get back to the house had me in stitches. There were people in the audience cheering. Brilliant filmmaking.
this is by far the best movie i’ve seen yet
im not even kidding
i wish i was kidding
My bilingual heart loves how in all his interviews he keeps jumping from his native language to english lol so relatable
Watched it last night.

Director Bong said he hired the actor to play the man in the basement because he can make his eyes bulge out for the fake ghost scene.
I hope Hollywood won’t make a remake of this with Ansel Elgort and Al Pacino...
Adil If they remake they would have to redo almost everything Korean culture. It needs to fit to the Western audience.
It's still imaginable though as the contrast between korean culture and western culture isnt too large (in fact if you change the setting to the US the movie wouldn't change that much) it just needs a good director
Who knows ?? HBO is making a limited series...
The plot twist was so huge .
I thought it was a funny , comedic movie about a con family.
some people had standing ovation at the end of this scene... this scene is absolute masterpiece.
Best movie of 2019 so far
@Diego Pisfil Joker nah. It's way below.
Let's see the others
Can’t wait for Hollywood to get over their remake phase and start doing unique and interesting movies like Parasite.
Don't remake please
Or comic book phase. Ugh.
i will not watch any remake
자랑스럽네요 봉준호 감독님!
One of the greatest movies i've ever seen.
I will not forget the first time I watched this film last August. The best film of the decade.
I LOVED this movie so much, it became one of my favorites ever. South Korea and Japanese cinema have some incredible gems
That shot on the thumbnail is iconic
*THIS MOVIE IS A MASTERPIECE!!! IT'S BEEN A MONTH SINCE I SAW IT AND IT STILL GIVES ME CHILLS!!!* *GO WATCH IT!!!*

Still the best movie ive seen this year 👏🏼
Such a great film
Love the constant shift of english to korean and then back to english
Superb movie!
wow. that’s so metaphorical.
I have to watch this movie this week (1 Nov.). I live near Yonge and Sheppard, Toronto. Thank you for notifying me.
It's an amazing film. A masterpiece.
Parasite gave me vibes from The Pearl novel.
The rock which Ki-woo obtained is like the pearl which initially promised wealth & dreams but eventually brought their downfall.
I literally get to one movie a year. So glad it was this one!
this might have been the best move i've watched in my life.
I watch this movie a month ago and i was just man this is great movie with no single negative critic on that, it’s just ‘right’ in the place.
just realised, if the mum was truly paying attention she would wonder why the selfie he took for his wife only had half his face. for his story to be truly concrete it, he had to be a little further away to get his full face plus the housekeeper in the background
seen this once wanna see it again for every day of my life but make it feel like the first time. truly a masterpiece!!!!!
Respekt!! From Albania to all the Korean people.
What a great movie just had the chance to see it over the weekend.
Parasite is funny! It's a tragedy ultimately but very entertaining throughout and very funny. When the dad pulls out the tissue with sauce on it I was dying!!
I really really want parasite to win oscars 🥺
This movie better won 'Best International film' or Academy Awards is rigged.
The minute they got rid of the housekeeper it was beginning of the ending to their family
Yes. Also after what they did to the housekeeper I stopped 100% empathising with the poor family
Best movie of the year !!
Masterpiece !
best film of the year
perfect!
absolutely hilarious. even though this movie wasn't the greatest ever, this scene had me rolling
metaphorically, the plot of the movie happened and it's still really happening to our society. the house resembles the society, the upper part of it resembles the rich, and the bunker part resembles the poor. think metaphorically and you'll get many2x lessons in this movie.

Except the ending.. the movie wholly was a masterpiece indeed!
Thats what he aimed. He meant to make you feel uncomfortable so that you cannot help but keep thinking about the film and the message.
What about it made u feel uncomfortable?
One of the best, in 2019!
This scene was hilarious. Bravo!
The husband-wife getting intimate on the couch scene while the 3 were trapped under the table was nerve racking while hilarious. It might have been even more humorous if Song Kang Ho was shown getting physically aroused (base reflex overriding cognition).
This movie was amazing
Great movie!
I wish Bong Joon Ho would go on until the housekeeper throw the tissue paper into the waste paper basket.
Even Brad Pit seems to have given his early or premature congrats to Song Kang Ho not as his rival but his fan.
