There are no loopholes, reality is only more bizarre than the movie

There is a saying in Cantonese: Listen to the ancients and refute the ancients. The point is to listen to the story without being too serious. Seeing a lot of people demolishing the stage of "Parasite", I said it was too deliberate, I just wanted to send this sentence to those who demolished the stage, you haven't watched "Princess Aurora" yet, a little girl was rented by taxi in broad daylight The driver of the car threw it halfway and was raped and killed by a rich second-generation pervert. There was no police action, and the taxi driver should have been sent to his home to get the money. But I still really like the themes that the film explores, and I believe that by accident, anything can happen in this world, and reality is only more bizarre than novels and movies.

If you compare the three films: the best is "Burning", fortunately, ordinary people can't understand it but feel advanced, and feel that they understand a little bit; the second is "Parasite", which is a little superficial compared to "Burning". It belongs to the kind of movies that ordinary people enjoy watching and feel that they understand it, so they feel advanced--the cockroach metaphor can't be more straightforward. Ninety percent of the audience understood and thought it was ingenious. They calculated the itch of ninety percent of the audience, and they could scratch it every time, which was very enjoyable. ; "The Thief Family" is one of Hirokazu Kore-eda's films that I don't like. Looking at it as a whole, there is a feeling that a big mountain gave birth to a mouse.

I don't think "Parasite" is a left-leaning movie, nor does it place too much emphasis on class, and it can even avoid stereotyping social class: do rich people have to be smart? Not necessarily, some people may just be lucky; rich people must have juniors and minors, haven't they felt their wives for a long time? Not necessarily. This movie is not the kind of movie where character decides the pattern of fate. The plot happens by coincidence, not the development of character. Therefore, all the characters here are light, paper, and you won't remember them later, you Just remember the plot of the movie. Such movies are destined to have no long-term vitality. Like ordinary popular novels, there are no eternal characters left in the history of movies. The kind that develops with characters, and whose characters are influenced by external factors, represent a whole generation or represent a whole generation. Movies about the common plight of mankind will be profound and eternal (such as those classics: Les Miserables, The Godfather, Gatsby, Guling Street, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Li Cangdong's films, etc.). However, there are many differences, and a hundred flowers bloom, seeking benevolence and benevolence.

Probably many people will remember the dialogue in the future: I want to be so rich, and I am also kind! It seems to be deafening, but it is not. There is a relationship between goodness and wealth, but the connection is very weak.

Parasite quotes

  • Ki-taek: [message to Ki-woo] Perhaps you, if no one else, will be able to read this. You were a Scout, so I'm writing this just in case. Have your injuries healed? I'm sure your mother is plenty healthy. I'm doing fine in here. Though thinking of Ki-jung makes me cry. Even now, what happened that day doesn't seem real. It feels like a dream, and yet it doesn't. That day as I went out the gate, I suddenly knew where I needed to go. A house where such a grisly thing took place would surely not be easy to sell. I've struggled to hold on in this empty house. Still, thanks to the house being empty - what was her name, Moon-gwang? - I was able to give her a proper send off. I hear treeside burials are trendy. So hell, I did my best. Those real estate sharks sure are clever. They duped some people who had just arrived in Korea and managed to sell the house. With the parents working and the kids attending school, the family is usually out. But the damned housekeeper stays here 24 hours a day. Each time I go upstairs, I take my life into my hands. And it turns out Germans eat more than just sausage and beer. What a relief. Passing the time down here, everything starts to go hazy. Today at least, I was able to write you this letter. If I send out the letter this way every night, maybe someday you'll see it. So long.

  • Kim Ki-woo: [narrates] Opening my eyes for the first time in a month, I saw a detective who looked nothing like a detective. Then the doctor who looked nothing like a doctor spoke. Even when I heard how much Ki-jung bled that day... even when I heard the words "forgery", "trespassing", "foul play", "murder", and that we were lucky to get away with probation... even when I finally got to see Ki-jung's face, I kept laughing. Though when I went back and watched the news reports, I didn't laugh.
