Watch the movie again through the poster

Formal poster

Looking back at this poster after reading it, I was really amazed. It brought out the painting of the psychological trauma of the youngest son; the landscape bonsai representing the transportation; the electric light sending the Morse code; the former nanny with only one leg exposed; the Indian arrow With tent . These contextual details are placed in the visual elements of the poster, symbolic metaphors and narrative clues are all present.

What surprised me even more was that the hosts were all well-dressed, and the parasites were all shabby. Barefoot and wearing shoes are not only a hint of a class gap, but also a playfulness of being not afraid of wearing shoes.

This movie is really full of clues. The lines or visual elements that you thought were meaningless were all for the reasonable pavement for the next reversal. It is this kind of foreshadowing that makes the original plot reversal without being abrupt. This is also what we have to learn. It is natural to explain the clues first, and then draw them out.

Make a reasonable pavement for the next male protagonist to recommend his sister

Scout understands Morse code

Reasonably explain why the male protagonist also understands Morse code

The former nanny ate two meals in order to lead out the back room and husband


Symbol

There is also a symbol. The arrival of the landscape bonsai that can bring wealth and luck also brings an opportunity to the male protagonist . Fengshui fortune is our Asian culture. Naturally, this strange stone has become the male protagonist’s sustenance for believing that he can stand up. . So in his eyes, the stone found him, but the reality gave him a blow. He planned to use the stone to murder him because of the accident. Afterwards, he finally wanted to understand and put down the stone. The stone looks ordinary among the piles of rocks on the riverbed. It is not a strange stone, and it is impossible for him to cross the gulf of class.

Tangible symbol

There is an intangible symbol besides the tangible symbol, which is smell

Invisible symbol

It is the smell that abstractly expresses the essential difference between the two classes, a smell that can only be contaminated in the semi-basement, and it is this smell that became the fuse of the final tragedy.

Finally, in fact, I think the most interesting thing about this movie is the relationship between space and the narrative of the movie. The show scenes in the two different residences are superbly arranged . The symbolic clues in the film are nothing but a linear tool that serves the plot. Without more metaphors and thinking, it is not worth studying. This is why watching movies feels like a roller coaster, but there will be no aftershocks after watching it.

    Coincidentally, Lee Cangdong and Bong handed over works aimed at class differences (it seems that this is a theme that every Korean director will get involved, including the accused Hong Changxiu), but the two are very outdated in form. Use a figure full of (minimalism/decorativeism in 60s art films or) Antonioni to tell the illusory lower-level pain, and Bong? He specializes in genre play. Like Kim Ki-young, who was admired by their generation of directors, he creates a viewing experience that coexists with wonder and entertainment. Therefore, the model characters and plots are all within expectations, and they are more realistic than today’s movies. The scene management and the tender problem consciousness (just like Kurosawa Akira), but this is ultimately on the side of the lower class he planned. Borrowing Ranciere to answer the puzzle in his mind, he was unable to "represent the system to maintain a distance from the truth with fidelity, and the expression system can make this truth appear in resistance." He at least satisfies some people’s pleasure and even provides People interpret it, but how far is it from the "real problem"? How is it possible to borrow mainstream forms to enter the current class problem?

    The coherence and explosiveness of emotions have been perfected, and the observation of class barriers is undoubtedly an important reason for winning the Palme d'Or unanimously. "Parasite" has given everything that "The Thief Family" owes. (If the child's birthday goes on like this, it is likely to become Hannibal of Korea in the future
