The really genius thing about this movie is that you're never quite sure who you should be rooting for. It would be so easy to turn this story into a simple "eat the rich" thing, but Bong Joon Ho is after something a lot deeper, and he wants you to work for it.
At first you think they might be the villains, but then you glimpse how they look down at the people that serve them, and how they can afford to be so naive, never have to be clever to survive. No heros in this movie
As far as I understand it, Kiwoo and Min met during their mandatory military service and are probably around the same age. He was definitely also too old for Dahye but basically decided to copy Min’s life plan with her since he wants his rich friend’s life. The ending of Kiwoo buying the house was a fantasy. The class system and divide between the wealthy and poor is so intense that it would be impossible for him to reach that level of wealth in his lifetime. The song that plays during the credits is titled 564 years because it would take Kiwoo approximately 564 years to save up enough money to buy that house.
기생충을 여러번봤는데 전혀 생각하지도않았던 정보를 알려주시네요 564년이란 노래가있었다는거 처음알았어요
love the deep dive you did at the end! it’s nice seeing a reactor really engage with the media more than just the reaction itself.
Lee Sun-Kyun actually passed away recently, a sad affair.
I don’t know why, but I never felt that Kevin was taking that rock to go down there to kill them, it always came off to me as he was trying to give it as a offering. They believed it brought wealth. The way he was holding it going down the stairs was not threatening.
I kinda took it as Kevin went downstairs without much of a plan. call back to his discussion with his dad.
@@MJones-bg9gdI like this.
5:05 south korea has compulsory service for male citizens 18-35. theres different levels depending on the persons ability, from active duty military work to civil service to exemption if found incapable physically or mentally
Im First Nations and im SO glad you mentioned the Indian and Native American thing!
To me, this movie has the best scene in recent cinema. The stairs scene is a masterpiece in itself, tbh.
Oh, and as far as I understand, there's this thing with koreans and foreigners, they think it adds prestige. So they go on mentioning US cities to impress the bosses.
The thing about the rock, i’m still not 100% sure but i do know collecting fortune rocks is a popular past-time hobby for elderly men in Korea😂 Also these rocks, if real, are REALLY expensive. The metaphor of this rock in the movie is that its actually fake, and hollow in the middle. The only reason he was able to survive the hit was because of the fact that it’s hollow
yep if it was real it would sink, it did not sink it floated
Amazing video. The movie is great, loved the reaction throughout, and the deep dive at the end wow was sogood to listen to. I love when a movie does that to someone.
I don't really know where you got the theory of Min banging the rich lady cos I never got that and never saw that theory anywhere, lol.
Also, no Kiwoo is very much not high school age. He's been in the military and is at least university age. So yea screw him.
No Min having an affair with the mother and grooming dahye is implied if you know korean. So I think he did do his research quite well
The original architect was shown in a photo as an old, grey-haired man so I very highly doubt Geun-sae was the architect of the house. As you pointed out, he enjoys being "beneath" people (his wife, Mr. Park) and height is associated with status in this movie, so I think he just liked the basement.
I really liked the explanations of what happened with the characters after the movie, such as the fate of the Park son & that Moon-gwang was buried in the house she took care of so long. Very insightful analysis!
👍
very good movie, even after all this time i love watching new people watch it. especially people who enjoy cinema and get the messages and cinematography choices
another 2 korean movies i always recommend is "i saw the devil" a horror/thriller and "the handmaiden"... hard to categorize the handmaiden, its definetly worth watching tho.
basically every korean and japanese movie ive watched is worth watching tbh
Old housekeeper's face was messed up because of the allergic reaction, that's why it's more puffy
Yep!! Girls pay for the lips I get simply from going into anaphylaxis 💁♀️
I thought it was because the loan sharks beat her up looking for her husband.
You should react to
Beyond the evil K-Series.
Its very good, with lot of suspense.
Love your review here, I listened to it through the end
lol thanks for spending all that time with me
1:09:15 lol you are too funny without even trying
I think the Simpsons parasite parody treehouse of horror
oh there's definitely moments to be 'jokey' in this movie. I think that's part of the director's intention :D
❤❤❤
Don't quote me but I'm pretty sure you're still considered a minor untill 20 yrs old in Korea which may explain the relationshipz with Dahye even though the relationship with Min was kinda .... 🤨
IMO. Us is good. Nope is not. Go back and watch Schindler.
Just some fact, not fun: Heavy rainfall during the 2022 resulted in flooding in Seoul. Many families living in lower ground apartments in the low-income housing districts suffered the same. Their semi-basement flats had been submerged like the scene in this movie. Several people have drowned because the water rising so fast.
49:08 the Min character was one of the most interesting in the story. Despite being in only the 1st 5 minutes of the film, he made a lasting impression on me. Here is my interpretation of the 4 questions you put out for him :
1. I believe Min was a close High School friend of Kevin (Ki-woo) and thought high of his poor friend but associated with him less as time went on and now being in college. His motivation in giving Kevins family the stone for material wealth was sincere and he respected the family (defending their property from the homeless man, taking his shoes off at the door, commenting on the parents good health, greeting the sister, giving Kevin a job etc...)
2. I don't think he was grooming Da-Hye. At no point in the film did he try to call her, text her, facetime her or any form of grooming. Groomers usually keep in contact and Min did not . He told a white lie as a way to protect his poor friend from doing something foolish and losing his job.
3. I do believe he had a affair with the mom, especially the way he said "Anyway, I had fun there" and also the way the Mom was so captivated when talking about MIn ( in stark contrast to Da-Hye who never once mentioned Min in the film)
4. I dont think Min knew the family would do all that. Kevin and his family got too greedy for their on good and paid the price.
GREAT FILM!!!
Loved your reaction as always. You should watch society of the snow. It's a great movie and I would love to hear what you have to say about that one
Subscribed just for the fact that there's Betty in your intro, you sir are a man of culture. Now off to see this reaction as I love this film. Such a shame LSK (the actor who plays the rich dad) passed away recently under such sad circumstances.
Lol so I used a Betty meme during my LOTR 1 reaction, and there was SO much love for the movie in the comments lol. So I've been making an effort to bring Kung Pow into my videos as often as I can lol
Another AMAZINNG movie about class structure is The Platform. It’s on Netflix in Australia, and I don’t want to spoil it but it’s very similar vibes to parasite
Love your reaction!
i’ve not seen this movie. i would like to watch it first before viewing your reaction…so i’m asking: you know me by now, will i fuck with this movie??
Everyone will fuck with this movie
@@AdamfromFWCI alright i’m on it!
