I was dragged to watch "Parasite" by my girlfriend without hearing anything about it. I thought it was a science fiction movie, ignorantly.
It was already 12:30 in the morning when the movie ended. We were shaking our heads and looking up at the night sky. The many and bright stars finally made us relieved. The remaining three-quarters of the breath didn't slow down until noon the next day while we were playing with the cat while watching "Bread and Soup and Good Weather with the Cat".
The director is skilled.
If you want to briefly describe the movie-watching experience, it might be like being beaten from the back of the head while eating fried chicken. When you fall down, you just want to ask: "Why are you hitting me?" There is no answer. This may be one of the reasons why I feel heavy and depressed after watching a movie. Sometimes the confusion about the minutiae is more difficult to let go of than the obvious tragedy.
In the first half of the film, the protagonist's family of four finds a job very smoothly. They support each other, cooperate with each other and cooperate with each other tacitly. We followed the perspective of the poor four, and we started to be nervous as we laughed out loud. The thunderous rainy night is not a good sign at all. The old housekeeper who suddenly came to the house was wronged and indebted, knowing that they were leaving. It's not the right way, but after the plot has taken a turn for the worse, I hope they can have a good ending. It's not about getting rich or just being awe-inspiring. It's just frankly eating a good meal and having a good night's sleep. However, when my mother kicked the former housekeeper down the stairs, I heard people in the theater taking a breath of air-conditioning. There is an essential difference between fraud and human life, and this fall almost killed them, the audience The little leeway reserved in my heart by default, at this time I don't know how to put it. But we still hope that they will not be found, can escape smoothly, and come up with a correct countermeasure before dawn. However, when the family lay from the basement flooded by the rainstorm to the crowded stadium, apart from the despair of broken dreams, there was only the exhaustion of the flesh.
Everything is going to be worse.
The tragedy seems to be not only that people who are in two worlds cannot understand each other, but also that people in the same situation have to be the first to draw their swords. Compared with the already well-known gap between the rich and the poor, the likes in the basement have beaten their heads to defend their jobs and put another layer of heaviness on the movie. But who can criticize the mortals who are struggling to survive and have the strength to lend a helping hand to others, like when a son sees his house filled with water, he can only turn a blind eye to the neighbor who wants him to help him, so he is a family drinker. When I was full of food and admired the rain in the courtyard, I remembered how the driver and the housekeeper, who were calculated to be unemployed by myself, lived at this time. "Being a good person" is just an illusion in a moment of ease. When the bloody reality comes, you may have yourself It is the instinct of survival that power tramples underfoot. After all, the action of flying a bug is already familiar, but embracing kindness is so dangerous and unfamiliar, like a trap.
The rainy night with no danger finally passed, and the director chose to let the story come to a dead end in a sunny and fine weather.
The confused and inferior son looked at the decent and glamorous guests completely disappointed in life, and he could not blend into the decent atmosphere with careful preparation. Others can feel comfortable even if they appear temporarily, as if they were born like this. At that moment I felt that he had confessed his life and gave up struggling, so he made the plan to sacrifice himself and deal with the situation in the basement alone, but he was not a cruel bad guy, nor did he realize what would happen to a truly desperate person. Decisively, he was just lucky enough to hold an unrealistic fantasy, and then he was smashed to death by it.
The younger sister who cooperated with the heroes to save the United States was stabbed in the heart by the madman who rushed out of the basement. Before she fell, she buckled the cake on the murderer’s face and cursed an swear word impatiently as usual. There is no hero to protect her, because she has never Not a princess, but she didn't want to pretend to be a princess either. Just like she was lying in a luxurious and comfortable bathtub or sitting on a toilet splashed with dung water, she could be alone. When her brother and father were still discussing the countermeasures for tomorrow, she was already asleep. She seems to never regret doing bad things, but how can you criticize her? She didn't feel sorry for the fact that she was about to die. So she said to her father, "Don't press it anymore, it hurts even more if you press it." Maybe she hoped that he could free up his hand to rescue the little boy.
Mother is a bold and powerful character. She once won a medal for her athletic strength. It may be the most dazzling moment in her life. On the day of the flood, her husband looked around and only took away the medal, but Some moments go out and they can't be taken away. Although she yearns to be a good person but can only deal with difficult situations time and time again, she must have never thought that her hands preparing to deliver food will eventually be stained with blood.
The portrait of Driver Jin was common at first. He didn't have a job but he was still lazy. In the pizza box folding job that his wife contacted, he was the only one in every four cartons who messed up. When he saw the drunk urinating in front of his own window, he was too lazy to stop it because he was afraid of more trouble, but when he was pierced like a shameless cockroach, he angrily picked up his wife's collar. Sitting leisurely in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows would occasionally think of the innocent driver he had replaced, but he chose to die when he saw a dying person twice. He was stunned in the sudden incident that was full of deaths and injuries, and finally vented all the backlog of irritability, confusion and anger to the employer holding his nose, as if this rich man was the murderer of his family. At this point, his simple-minded, lazy, face-loving, impulsive and violent personality traits gradually began to conform to the image of a middle-aged man in the social news. It may be difficult for bystanders to convince themselves that the problems he exposed are caused by poverty. The director said that this character is like a common uncle in our daily life, so it really makes people think about it.
Finally, let’s talk about the proprietor’s family. No one has done too much, and the family will be destroyed. They are portrayed as stupid people with a lot of money, and it seems that just a few harsh words on top of the dazzling wealth are enough to take away their chance of being forgiven. The director did not intend to give the family more explanations. What happened to them? Did the little boy survive? The director cleverly used questions to cut off the pity that might flow to the family. As the host of the victim, they only got the respect of the parasite in the end.
After the murder, Kim Ki-zek said in the letter that he seemed to immediately know where he should go, where the real parasite lives in the dark. He lived by stealing German food, and the anger he had had that day seemed to disappear without a trace.
In the director's wonderful story, he seems to be just a calm scrutiny, after all, he has not favored anyone.
And we are the same.
