    Smelling the poor and sour smell of the Jin driver's family, the lust aroused, probably everyone is "dirty" in their bones. Just like the current movie fans watching Duoai literary films, they are all climaxing for genre films in their...

    It's a comedy in general, with a family from the bottom peeking out of a big posh house, and it's full of irony at the same time. The core shows the gap between the rich and the poor (the Korean directors have been very similar in the past two years), and also teases the relationship between South Korea and North Korea and South Korea and the United States. Undoubtedly, it was the most entertaining commercial film at the Art Film Festival, and it was full of applause and cheers in the middle of...

    If you are smart and deceived, you will think of Lubitsch; if you occupy a magpie's nest, you will think of Joseph Rossi; when conflicts always explode, you will think of Claude Chabrol. The three masterpieces of famous directors have very different styles, but they have one thing in common: the stories are believable. The advantage of resourcefulness comes from professional proficiency. You have to be a professional cheating charismatic thief who has committed many crimes. You will take the...

    Thinking of Xiangzi pulling a car in the rainstorm and making him unable to walk, but the employer who was sitting in the awning urged Xiangzi to hurry up and run Lao She wrote: The rain goes to the rich, but also to the poor; to the righteous, to the poor righteous people. In fact, the rain is not fair, because it falls on a world without justice. This is the same rain as the rain in the movie. Maybe this film is suitable enough as a symbolic social fable, but in reality, people in these two...

    Such hypocritical and unreliable films can win the Palme d’Or, but only when commercial films win in an all-round way, the market for arthouse films is getting smaller and smaller, and the audience’s taste is getting worse and worse. The movie version of black mirror can be a big hit in the arthouse. It's not a movie, it's a sketch at...

    The most awesome thing about this film is that at first glance, it seems that the evil of the poor is naked, while the rich family is a little innocent. But if you look more carefully, you will find that the flawless hypocrisy and indifference of the rich are the stone that weighs down on their family. The family is unaware of a poor man who has lived in his basement for a few years, and the last scene is desperate for the poor, and this is not the reality of...

    There are obviously many "poor people" who are down-to-earth and work hard. No stealing, no robbing, and no cheating. Even though I sometimes encounter injustice, I still insist on it. Even if I want to vent my anger, I rely on my own efforts to break the discrimination. Lies, doesn't follow the right path, doesn't do their job well, and takes advantage of others. What qualifications do such "poor people" have to talk about discrimination? Are the so-called poor people who want to take...

    Very entertaining, South Korea's film industry is quite mature. But there are two problems, 1-I don't trust the audience very much (it's a headache, but it's not really important to think about it now), 2-I don't want to explain who is a parasite in this society (this is very...

    It is acceptable to use modern fables to explain all the coincidences and inconsistencies, and it is slightly more acceptable to use the three words of commercial films to explain. From the beginning of the film, the characters and destiny have been forcibly prescribed, and all the confusion and doubts, even if they are completely contrary to real experience and moral stance, cannot prevent them from rolling forward. Kindness and money, poverty and scoundrel, all lumped together, turned into an...

    Looking at Korean semi-underground culture from [parasite]

    The troubles for the Kim Kit-jung family started with a heavy rain.

    That day, they stayed in a luxury villa until late, and it was late when they came back. The rain was like splashing water with a ladle, and the whole ladle was poured out uncontrollably. It was like a waterfall, so they had to wade...

    Not a suspenseful story, but a class tear.

    In this world, people who have never lived in a basement are lucky.

    The cramped space, the clothes that never dry out, the humid and sticky air. You don't know when black mold spots will grow on food, clothes, tablecloths, or even walls.

    There is always greasy fumes on the cook that can't be...

Parasite quotes

  • Kim Ki-jung: [about Moon-gwang] She may look like a sheep, but inside, she's a fox. Sometimes she acts like she owns the house.

    Kim Ki-woo: Right. Of all the people in that house, she's lived there the longest. She was housekeeper to the architect Namgoong, but then she went on to work for this family. When the architect moved out, he introduced this woman to Park's family, telling them, "This is a great housekeeper, you should hire her".

    Chung-sook: So she survived a change of ownership.

    Kim Ki-woo: She won't give up such a good job easily.

    Kim Ki-jung: To extract a woman like that, we need to prepare well.

    Kim Ki-woo: Right, we need a plan.

    Park Da-hye: [cut to a scene with Ki-woo and Da-hye] I want to eat peaches. I like peaches best.

    Kim Ki-woo: Why not ask for some?

    Park Da-hye: No peaches at our house. It's a forbidden fruit.

    Kim Ki-woo: [cut back to the Kims; referring to Moon-gwang] So according to what Da-hye told me, she's got a pretty serious allergy to peaches. You know that fuzz on the peach skin? If she's anywhere near it, she gets a full body rash, has trouble breathing, asthma, a total meltdown!

    [Moon-gwang falls sick after Ki-woo puts peach fuzz on her]

    Ki-taek: Anyway. I wasn't trying to eavesdrop, but her words came through clearly! So I couldn't help but...

    Kim Ki-woo: Cut, cut! Dad, your emotions are up to here. Bring them down to about there.

    Ki-taek: So I couldn't help but overhear...

    Kim Ki-woo: Keep it focused!

    Ki-taek: [to Mrs. Park] What I'm trying to say is... it's just that, your housekeeper's voice is quite loud, you know?

    Park Yeon-kyo: I understand, it's all right. Just tell me, okay?

    Ki-taek: She said she got diagnosed with active tuberculosis and she was practically shouting over the phone, so upset she could barely control herself!

    Park Yeon-kyo: Tuberculosis? Come on...

    Ki-taek: It's true, she phoned someone saying she had active TB.

    Kim Ki-wooPark Yeon-kyo: Do people still get TB?

    Kim Ki-woo: [cut back to the Kims] Dad, back in the day, people used to buy Christmas Seals, right? Feels like a bygone era.

    Ki-taek: [cut back to Ki-taek and Mrs. Park] But I saw it on the internet. Korea has the #1 rate of TB of all the OECD countries.

    Kim Ki-woo: [cut back to the Kims] But she's still working, as if nothing's wrong - with a kid like Da-song in the house.

    Ki-taek: [cut back to Ki-taek and Mrs. Park] So you've got a young kid like Da-song in the house, and a TB patient is doing dishes, cooking, spraying spittle...

    Park Yeon-kyo: Stop it, please!

    [cut to the Kims putting peach fuzz on Moon-gwang, causing her to fall sick again, and Ki-taek using chili sauce to fake Moon-gwang's blood]

  • [last lines]

    Kim Ki-woo: Dad, today I made a plan - a fundamental plan. I'm going to earn money, a lot of it. University, a career, marriage, those are all fine, but first I'll earn money. When I have money, I'll buy the house. On the day we move in, Mom and I will be in the yard. Because the sunshine is so nice there. All you'll need to do is walk up the stairs. Take care until then. So long.
