something i think a lot of people missed is the part where the "poor" dad explains how the best plan is no plan because plans always fail. this is proven right throughout the movie, from the family's plan to infiltrate the rich house to the "rich" dad's plan to scare everyone at the birthday party. this is especially important because the son's letter at the end begins with "i made a plan" therefore implying that his dad will forever be stuck in the basement.
damn
Something I think is worth noting is that, the Kims can’t afford to make plans of any kind, they are living for the day not knowing if tomorrow they’ll have enough to sustain themselves. In contrast, the Parks are making plans to go camping for Da song’s birthday and when that fails they can afford to make a garden party to celebrate after the rain passes. There is also a persistent theme of the Parks making plans at the expense of the Kims own plans, the Parks plan a garden party and the Kims are expected to work on that day even though a deluge left them homeless the night before. No matter what problems the Kims face, the Parks still expect the Kims to alter their plans last minute to conform to their own plans because of social standing.
@@angelaalanis3199 well the Parks didn't know about them all becoming homeless the night before, because they didn't know they were all related and living together
@@blaisetelfer8499 exactly, they didn’t know, because they don’t make the effort to know their staff as human beings rather than providers of services, they don’t know they became homeless because they stop existing to the Parks when the service is met. Mr. Park discourages Mr. Kim from crossing an emotional barrier because that would disturb this ideology.
@@angelaalanis3199 ohhhhhh that makes sense. didn't realize it like that, thanks :D
0:23~0:26: Did you guys notice the housekeeper reluctantly "crossed the line" and immediately withdrew?
I mean.. the line which the edge of the windows makes. Bong used the line as the barrier between the classes. Oh.. the window edge also shows Kiwoo and the housekeeper belong to the same (left) side of the window.
jeeeez.
No. No, we didn't.
u got me shookt
Bro holy shit
When will I stop getting surprised
the level of detail that was put into this film, from the way it was shot, to the production design is just mind-blowing.
electricmole Uni reverse card
It's very good makes you keep watching like another movie I cant think of the title but similar to Ala m night shymalayan or Spike Lee or something like that
@electricmole I wasnt thinking about it when watching the movie and when I saw this review I was like damn so true. Dont assume everyone is able to articulate and think of these concepts, some need help with explaining
@electricmole The concept is simple, but the execution is not. As casual viewer this movie didn't come off as cheesy way to criticize capitalistic social construct. All these small details in how the movie is shot how the pacing is done adds to the whole experience.
electricmole Lol you okay man? The idea is usually always easy to point oht but execution is hard. It shows just how simple minded you are and don't even look at the bigger pictures. This film isn't just how they showed poor and rich, it's how they showed it, in what ways they showed it; social, physical, emotional, etc. It's a very broad idea that they were able to condense all of it and create this film it's not just easily pointing out what is poor and what is rich, it's how that idea is executed. I've watched many films that brings in the poor and the rich but 'Parasite' did it flawlessly. So, you should just sit down and think about this for a moment. Think about what broader idea because it seems like your head can't see how much depth this movie has
It’s crazy because Ive watched SO MANY Parasite analysis videos and EACH ONE points out something totally different. It’s so crazy how Parasite is so symbolic in so many different ways.
I 👏🏻KNOW👏🏻 RIGHT👏🏻
True !
YES! I keep learning more and more about this film and I'm falling in love way too deep
This was a nice very detailed analysis of the set design and space.
And when try connect each scene from the beginning and the end scene...and all the way through the middle...just like palindrom pattern script
I loved how the dining table always had a seat for all the characters but it was always empty
This is by far the best movie of the year, it'd be a shame if it didn't win best picture at the Oscars
I personally thought that The Lighthouse was the best of the year, but Parasite’s definitely the best of the Best Picture contenders.
@@maxvetter1336 The Lighthouse in generall got snubbed pretty hard. I mean c'mon, Willem Dafoe didn't even got nominated for his role and his perfomance was an absolute blast to watch!
I wouldn't jump to that conclusion unless you've seen everything that came out in 2019.
Christopher Binder, I guess you have a point, so I’ll be a pedant. Of the things I’ve seen this year, which is admittedly quite a bit but not everything, I thought the best movies were:
1. The Lighthouse
2. Parasite
3. Portrait of a Lady on Fire
4. Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood
5. Marriage Story
Christopher Binder a lot of great stuff came out in 2019, but Parasite has already been deemed a classic by many people
The moment the mom pushes the former maid down the stairs with her foot while hurrying to serve was both a laughter moment and a sad one at the same time.So much symbolism there. Also the windows thing, windows are a privilege and tell where you are in the hierarchy
Edit:The movie won best picture yeii
The look in her eyes really stuck with me
Sad, but nonetheless, most of us are the part of this shitty society. We fight each other, work hard like there's no tomorrow to serve a boss that gets richer and richer and won't even bother to learn your names.
yeah
like crabs in a bucket
It made me laugh but when she hit her head, holy shit that really gave me fuckin nightmares. I got paranoid for myself and everyone I know with risks in accidentally hitting their head in their surroundings.
Love this! I couldn't help but also think the whole film as a sort of literal and metaphorical ladder to reach the top that shatters any scope for empathy. To reach the top requires one to be a parasite; to have a lack of empathy for anyone around you (the Kims towards the former housekeepers' family and then eventually the other way round) and quite literally kick them out of your way.
and in the end their attempts were futile. they ended up back where they started, except without the daughter and with their father being essentially trapped in prison. they gained nothing, they lost a lot.
@@cheekybananaboy3361 I think the even sadder part remains in the son's ultimate decision to make another "fundamental plan" (and plans never work out the way you want them to of course) to, by hook or crook, buy that very house. So, maybe the cycle continues despite having lost so much and gained so little.
I see a lot of comparison between joker and parasite.
The joker portrayed the class divide with huge angst, anger and hatred towards the rich.
Parasite on the other hand showed the world just as it was. It showed the kind of life and choices needed to sustain the life one currently has. Parasite showed how interconnected the world was. That without the poor, the rich couldn't maintain their lifestyle or be rich without to poorer consumers buying from their business. The poor also kinda need to rich for jobs and many necessities for them to buy.
But the most interesting scene for me is the part where Jessica was bleeding out and Mr. Park was asking for the car keys.
They were both fathers, trying their best for their dying child. Could you blame the father for prioritizing his son and asking for his car keys? Could also blame Mr. Kim from staying with Jessica, as she was his daughter?
But in the end the divide was clear. While both fathers were trying to save their child, only one had the capacity to act immediate--the man with his own car. But he had to kind of rely on Mr. Kim to give him the keys. Much like how the wealth of the rich is reliant on the purchases of the many poor.
Mr. Kim had to deal with it however he could. Futile with his efforts as she was stabbed in the heart, maybe portraying that in the end, that poor people are trapped. No matter how much he'd stop the bleeding, she'd still die.
Well analyzed! 👍
Well said.
Interesting take on that moment in the film. I wonder if there was also symbolism in the futility of the poorer father stabbing the richer father to death in his anger at the unfairness of the situation. In the end, it didn't achieve anything, and the result was the death of both children.
Krombopulos Michael Man that just takes it to another level. Love the depth of this film
Wow this is a really unique take I hadn't yet considered
Parasite should take home the best picture at the Oscars!
Should be..
I think the members of Academy are too cocky to give Asian the credit. I mean Parasite got sooooo many nominations yet none when it comes to the best actor
@@usedtoilet8295 there are a lot of Best Picture Winners without any acting nominations. The most important thing about a good shot at the Best Picture award is the Best Original Screenplay and Adapted Screenplay nominations.
It will most likely lose to 1917 unfortunately ..
Your dream has come true
I'm so glad this movie got so much recognition, Bong Joon Ho is really great, his english movies are good but his korean movies are fantastic.
This film is so haunting. I’m still thinking about it.
Well done. Keep these in depth analysis coming. Whatever happens at the OScar, Parasite will be a film that would be talked about for a long time. Being a reference for higher level film-making.
BEAUTIFUL film, nothing but a MASTERPIECE
At 8:48 you said about the son's fantasy of getting the house and there's an empty road to the left and you can't see the end. Almost to say his journey/dream to getting the house is empty with no end. Just my little take on that.
Yeah u r right
Agree. Also the dad's famous line: "You know what kind of plan never fails? No plan. No plan at all. You know why? Because life cannot be planned." That pretty much foreshadows that even though the son has changed, he's never going to buy that house or see his dad again no matter how hard he plans.
@@julianatalksfilms7112 I don't know why his dad hid in the basement. Isn't it like prison. I mean prison is better. At least he can see his family
@@happiyyyy Yea that's a good question. Prison would have been a better alternative but I think the symbolism of him ending up in the basement helps the story come full circle. Kim getting stuck in the basement reinforces that he was always and will forever be a "parasite"; destined to live in the shadows of other men and be content with the little scraps he's given. It's also ironic because if he had made a plan or taken different actions, that might not have been his fate.
My personal interpretation is he ends up in a slump bc he's never willing to take responsibility for himself-- much like the former housekeeper's husband. He's given up on life and trying to "make a plan" and instead looks for easy alternatives to survive, even if it's at the expense of his and his family's well being. Just my two cents though...
@@happiyyyy because he killed a man, most probably the punishment is going to be death sentence..
Your analysis of Parasite is brilliant, eye-opening. The film is a masterpiece.
i love how almost every shot has a meaning. makes me wanna watch the movie 1million times
When Min gave the Kim family the stone and the mother said ‘food would be better’, it could symbolize the fact that the rich don’t actually help the poor by giving them hope or saying fancy words (stone). It would be better to provide help in the form of better salaries/opportunities/etc. (food).
I’ve watched this movies 2 months ago and each video I watch about it I learn something new! So much nuance in one film it’s amazing
This is SO MUCH hardwork put together to analyze a movie. It has no extra things, there's amazing editing, the voice is soothing and the script is well thought :)
Spoiler alert. Where I really felt the movie took its place as a masterpiece was how Bong played our internal stereotypes of what a protagonist should be. Upon first thought, the protagonist appears to be the Kim's but I found myself questioning that. And ultimately came away with feeling that the protagonist wasn't a person but an idea. There's a shakespearean quality of portraying the "tragic hero", but that too was pulled away from my grasp. In the end Kiwoo pronounces his plan to go on the straight and narrow to liberate his father. There's no redemption here but just the idea of one so he doesn't fall into the category of a tragic hero. What I was left with after many nights of thinking about the last scene was, Bong never once display any moral shortcomings of Mr Park which would have enabled him to reach the top echelon of society. Meanwhile, we are left with Kiwoo's plans and by any surface those plans are attainable..... but we, probably as a community, walk away feeling his plans are attainable. Though again, they should be possible just like Mr. Park. Therein, there is the underpinning feeling the role of destiny... which is our own projection and our own limitation of success... or do we hold tight to our own dogma that the only way to reach the top is through corruption? Clearly that is not true... but then why not Kiwoo? I'm going to watch this again... excellent film in a long time!
I wanna say; nobody's really evil in the movie.
But then the stabbing is still a long debate.
I wanna say everyone is evil in the movie. And then the stabbing proves my point 😂
This is a masterpiece that you can watch 1000 times and always notice something new! Now someone say korean films are bad! This thing is better than most films ever created
I don't know who told you that but the Koreans have made the best movies for the past 20 years. Against any other country.
Just when I thought my mind couldn't have been blown any more, you give me this metaphor about the sunshine and light. Bruh.
This was a brilliant analysis! Yes it is ultimately the structure that has created the division in the first place... Most of his movies highlight the extremities people will take in order to push out of these structures - that they perhaps didn't choose but rather society's structure looped them in.
It's not about the story, it's about what message you want to convey
i always know what BJH's movies are about but the signs and intricate details add more depth to his messages. they are so amazing
Thank you very much for this. Very thorough and useful.
Just watched it and I don't think I've watched something that I've thoroughly enjoyed and reacted to as much as Parasite. When they were hiding under that table, I was holding my breath- you would not understand how much my anxiety was through the roof! I'd watch this over and over
The rich may have privilege over everything but can't you sense the level of closeness among the family members belonging to lower and upper classes. Kim's family may live in the basement and share the small space together. It seems to be unfortunate from a laymen's perspective. But they were always together in the act and cherish the joyful moments and embrace the shortcomings regardless of whether they are in the basement, driver's eatery place or in Park's house. Though they are dirt and poor, the little space in basement always satisfies the idea of a family. On the other hand, Park's family represents the wealth and compliments the luxury life style. The house itself showcase the richness and standard of living they own, yet the dinning and living areas always seems to deserted and we ain't see all the family members together or around the dinning in a single scene expect for the time they took off the vacation. Relationship between the characters also seem to be monotonous and the family members are isolated among themselves in large spaces or in the different rooms. Regardless of the rich and poor status, the human nature tend to long for new and diverse experiences all the time. Metaphorically, Kim's family rejoice their vacation in Park's residency, which to them was something new and exciting where as for Park's family, vacation sounds to be taking a break off from their 'normal' life and to leave the house and go somewhere else for the pleasing experiences and invoking the joy.
the window shots are mind-blowing
This movie really got me, never expected what it became, awesome!
This video is a masterpiece.
Thank you for this video and explanation because it's like I felt what Bong Joon-ho wanted to convey but I didnt totally understand why and now you've explained it and it's so satisfying.
I was amazed on this movie,The director is so genius. Everything is have symbolism.
Never realized the vertical detail 😯. The 180 rule is super cool.
Also you see how the park family never discovered the hidden placer on their own house because It was just to down for them, like it was the kims family home... Just to down
excellent presentation too like the movie Parasite was presented.
An absolutely stunning film.
I don't know why the only other subtitle is in Portuguese, but I appreciate it
Such mind-blowing, masterpiece and flawless PARASITE is
increadible
I want to believe the reason why the Kim’s enjoyed luxury for such a short time was because they were not ready for it, letting the old house keeper in was the thing that brought everything down for them.
Had they just known their place and just work they jobs could have been the best thing to do to keep them living comfortably but they had to “cross the line” and made their self’s comfortable when the Parks were not home, should’ve just ride that gave as long as possible without crossing the line.
It was a really good film. It's unfortunate that we were shown nothing of the middle class though. I do wish the essay could've delved deeper and talked about that materials that make up the majority of the architecture and by extension the props. Metal, stone, wood, plastic, and glass. Interesting thing you'll notice the very first time we see the Park's basement, It's with Moon-gwang and the first thing she does while down there is slide open a door to get the plum extract. That was a nice touch.
I have a feeling we are going to see many more video essays on this movie as time goes on.
Bong said he has so many more stories on his iPad that he couldn't fit into this 2 hr long movie. And he's stated the upcoming HBO series will be something like 6 hrs long movie that tells those stories.
mind boggling explanation I didn't watch the movie in this way....I think I need to watch again
Two thumbs up. Great movie and analysis.
You should make a video on what goes into making a video like this, the research, your process, and stuff. I've never thought about the movie like this, I just see the shallow "those are poor, those are rich and the parasites are the ones in the bunker living off the rich." but apparently it is deeper than that, but how can I see that in future movies?
Please look at the vertical lines also that appears in various scenes that separates the classes . Lines are very distinct lines. Like the window lines that is between the maid and the owner, and the lower class cannot and don’t cross the lines.

Great video I was going to press subscribe until I realised I've already subscribed, so well done!
The more i love the video, it often hits me that most of these things aren't usually 'expressed' by the filmmaker and we just look too much into small random things. Not only this video, but most of the breakdown videos of successful films have the same structure. In most such videos out there, the OP looks at the scene and thinks that the director wanted 'this' here because it meant 'this'. And the comments down too go with it saying it's a brilliant thought-provoking scene, when in reality it may not be the case. Anyways it was good to watch this, but i always have the offthought, that these scenes don't usually mean what we think those mean.
Except Bong Joon Ho actually tld quite a bit about the film making process and what he ask the set design/ camera staffs especially in the Korean BTS.
THAT WAS SOO GOOD? WTF GREAT JOB
Very interesting video, thank you!
great video!
You explained it well. Well done!
wow this is a fantastic analysis, great job.
POV - You have watched 3-4 parasite movie analysis but haven't watched the movie yet
that was wonderful explanation about this fascinating movie . thank you
Can you do an analysis of their acting? It's almost non-acting but being the character. No showboating, but just lived-in characters.
Granted, it’s not unusual for film sets to be constructed with the direction of the sun in mind for lighting; what’s special about Parasite is its thematic significance
You know the funny thing? Everything connects. From the way the dad takes off the lever and hides it to when he needs it to escape, he can find it again. It's fucking sick
I’ve seen it four times and I’m still catching many little details every time I watch!
Beautiful analysis ❤️
another great video
I'm so amazed a Korean movie gets this global attention..Couldn't imagine this 10 years ago
Gtg watch this movie again. Brb
Masterepiece , im glad watched it before it gets popular
even didnt watch the trailer
ONE OF THE BEST BUT STILL NOT FLAWLESS AND MASTERPIECE.
@@DeeKay68 there can be no masterpiece and flawless for we are entitled to our own biases.
@@DeeKay68 There is none.
A beautiful essay, thank you. X
Que vídeo incrível. Parabéns pelo excelente trabalho❤🇧🇷.
I don’t think this is just a capitalist problem. I lived in China, which is state-capitalist authoritarian with communist rhetoric as a cover. What happens there is that anyone who makes something of themselves is assumed to be a scam artist; and so the only people who own anything of value are the people who have friends in the govt’. So even in communist countries; you end up with an impoverished majority tending to the needs of a few powerful families. The thing I love about open market capitalism is that you have freedom of movement and freedom of speech. In quasi-communist countries; you’re only allowed to make businesses with any success if you know the right people and pull the right favors and don’t make anyone look bad; my parents tried to start multiple small businesses when we lived there; and continually got screwed over by some govt’ person’s cousin or neighbor and would end up getting muscled out just for existing.
People who complain about open capitalism have no idea how much bullshit you have to fight to do even basic shit in other systems. Capitalism is flawed; but the fact that we’re even allowed to question open capitalism alter it is in itself a precious privilege that other countries do not allow.
So I roll my eyes every time some American dude who’s three times richer than me just casually throws his privilege under the bus not realizing that China is fucking dirty ya’ll.
I just roll my eyes. Be grateful you’re even allowed on RUclips.
Other than that, I do respect the hell out of this movie; one of the most competent I’ve ever seen. The anti-capitalism stuff rubs me the wrong way, just knowing how much worse the alternatives can get; but the movie is good shit.
Great video otherwise.
Who was rooting for the Kim’s?
Great work!
nice analysis and elaboration... :)
It may seem an unrealistic fantasty that the son will be able to save the Father.. but that is just what is supposed to happen in real life. As a son you are supposed to raise you parents from their current situation. They give you everything so that you can be better for it. That's why that last scene is so powerful. His father literally ascends the stairs thanks to his son's hard work. It happens.. it does not seem unimaginable to me.
The poor son will never be able to buy that house.. (as he plans that) ... Mr Kim once said..the best plan is no plan..
Planning never works..
Also in one of the interviews. Director Bong himself talked on this point..and said it will take him 546 years to rise high and buy that house.
Speak for yourself, some of us do root for them to break the system
There's no indication that they ever even intend to do that though.
Damn, never knew Tyler sponsored any videos.
This is why parasite won the Oscar 😉
I still want Mr Kim to go to jail since he kill the owner.
no worries,, that bunker it's pretty much a jail anyway,, with the german's maid as the guards
Respect!
Dang, how sensitive do you have to be to notice all of this... I remember watching this in theatres and felt so unsatisfied about the story-telling at the end. Then again I'm probably just too unrefined for high art lol
Parasite could easily be the best film ever made
Something I don't understand is why they didn't move out of that semi basement. It seems like they were getting enough money to do it.
Super video! I applauded for $2.00 👏
Just a fyi, Korea is 70% mountains. It's not that exaggerated when the Kim family have to travel so far down to get to their house from the Park's. The rich really do live on top of them for exactly the monsoon season and better view/atmosphere,etc.
Thanks
I found it to be the Same in El Salvador. The rich families live at the top of the mountains while the “lower” class people all the way down the difference is so noticeable it’s insane
I've been to seoul and I agree with this.
Krish Plays Not exactly, as many apartments located riverside are almost at sea level and costs from $2mil-4mil, and crowded slums built on high hills across Seoul are the main locations where poverty can be seen. The neglected elderly lives there, while middle-high to high class families lived in apartments in Seoul, and low-middle to middle class families live in apartments in the suburbs. While there are wealthy neighborhoods located alongside mountains, it’s not always the case. Monsoon floodings are not a problem either in seoul so there are really no disadvantages of living closer to sea level.
i know that the house was built for the filming, but where was the street leading to park's house filmed? itaewon, gangnam?
At min 7:22 the mother takes pictures of the beautiful flowers with her smartphone. This is exactly the place where the old housekeeper is buried. A symbol for the fact that poor people are only the fertilizer for the garden of the rich.
OMG
Crazy foreshadowing 😯
ok the more i watch videos and read comments about parasite, the more i find out that there is so much more hidden in this film.
dam son
omg my mind blew up
Parasite is legitimately one of the best movies I have ever seen and is the best one I have seen in theatres. I cannot describe the thrill and joy and terror and sadness those two hours blessed me with. My god, what a film.
me too, I wish I could go back to seeing it for the first time.. it gave me chills...
Who gives a shit. Parasite is just an amalgamation of a number of old Hollywood movies and nothing in the film is new or fresh. This is all pure garbage and meaningless. Poor to mediocre acting unoriginal screenplay makes Parasite a garbage. An Oscar just doesn't elevate it from a mediocre B movie to anything else just how a Cannes doesn't elevate the garbage Titane to anything but a B Horror nonsense.
I will take it a step further and site you various examples of how Muslims use various nonsense to elevate a shitty hate literature called Quran into a divine gift.
When will these idiots learn to see through all this BS and find out there was nothing original in this film. Maybe never. Otherwise their existence and source of income becomes nonexistent.
I couldn't help but get chills during most of this video; you captured so many things I've wanted to put into words for a while. The fact that Parasite tackles the larger structures and systems that create the class divide, rather than trying to blame the individual "bad apples" within those structures, is what makes it so different from many other "eat the rich" narratives. Terrific stuff, mate.
Thanks Houston!
Oh
HoustonProductions1 you must be Yang gang 🤣🤣
Exactly
Same. I was actually in tears because it's just so sad thinking about the movie again.
I think a good movie is seen when people still talk about it after watching it, parasite is definitely a theme of conversation, it’s not just a “it was good!” Type of movie, it made everyone in the cinema to analyze and think about it, I think that’s a very important factor in movies.
Agree!! I walked out of the theater thinking about the film for a few days afterward and then proceeded to watch a bunch of analysis on it.

Still talking about it
I was blown away by this film. The last 35 minutes especially. That's why movies are my passion and I want to spend my time with them. For 35 minutes like that
I wasnt a huge fan of the last 30 min, but still a good film either wah

The street that the Kims live on is one hell of a set. It feels so real.
NuttyMongrel wait...it wasn't real?
@@aa-to6ws Apparently it was a sort water tank
@Tony Toons they created the house street where the kims family living. the flood scene they put gallons water tanks for it to look real
it's set but use real material of poor town
@Mitchell Bruce Sioni it was partial blue screens, not 100% a set
I am an architect, and these intricate details Director Bong used to construct the storyline is what most viewers tend to overlook as they are busy piecing together the plot. You have done a good job in elaborating them in your video. Very informative !
Director Bong*
Lol what a bullshit
Moisés Ávila Zevallos why are you on every video involving parasite trying to dismiss people’s views on the movie? Shut up and move on, say your opinion and leave, goddamnit. so butthurt that joker didn’t win best picture good lord.

Parasite is a masterpiece , a visual storytelling difference between the upper and lower class. The movie will be studied by wannabe filmmakers for ages.
Please tell me you're not serious.
@@dawsondjodvorj2408 I'm serious.
@@swastman2 then my friend without sound rude i'll say, what you wrote was absolutely dumb.
@@dawsondjodvorj2408 I don't think so. The movie won 4 oscars and appreciation from movie critics. If you didn't understand the movie then rewatch it.
@@swastman2 yea just from your consideration of oscars for a masterpiece pretty much sums up how much you understand a movie.
The Irishman dint win a single oscar, yet it gonna be one of the most studied movie of the decade.
Awards dont really matter, taxi driver, goodfellas, shawshank Redemption, american psycho, the shinning and so many more dint win oscars yet all are masterpieces.
So when you wanna talk about quality, oscars dont matter.
Parasite was just a good movie, it was no masterpiece, fine you could think it was a masterpiece, but it definitely wouldn't be studied, you should go ahead and watch some actual masterpiece and then tell me was parasite a masterpiece or not.
I particularly like the scene when Ki Woo(the son), refused/think twice when walking down the stairs and looking at his drowned home, but the water keep dashing against him and 'flush' him and his family back to where they truly belongs, so symbolic.
jeez i never noticed that
also the fact that the rain (any natural event) affected the rich in a very minor way, they had to cancel their trip, but affected the Kim's so much so that they lose their home and as Kevin stood on the stairs you could see water was rolling downwards - as if the director wanted to show that the societal problems trickle down to the lower classes, multiplying their effect on the poor.
I noticed that too... it feels as if... all the filthy water was a representation of what they just did and how life was getting back on them. The more they 'damage' they did... the more chaos in their home.
Right!!
Who gives a shit. Parasite is just an amalgamation of a number of old Hollywood movies and nothing in the film is new or fresh. This is all pure garbage and meaningless. Poor to mediocre acting unoriginal screenplay makes Parasite a garbage. An Oscar just doesn't elevate it from a mediocre B movie to anything else just how a Cannes doesn't elevate the garbage Titane to anything but a B Horror nonsense.
I will take it a step further and site you various examples of how Muslims use various nonsense to elevate a shitty hate literature called Quran into a divine gift.
When will these idiots learn to see through all this BS and find out there was nothing original in this film. Maybe never. Otherwise their existence and source of income becomes nonexistent.
imagine if the directors were like "didn't notice that, but yeah."
I don't think so,cause every tiny detail of this movie was planned and executed flawlessly.
@@Kevin-cy2dr lmao it’s a joke
nyc
"uhhhhhh yeaaa exactly! yeah! uh huh!"
I def think some things werent planned for but most of the stuff even the tiny little details seem so purposefully planted, that it’s impossible that they werent aware of it
I think subconsciously we notice these things, this video just articulates them. One thing that struck me was had the Kims and the old housekeeper come to arrangement, everyone could have gotten what they wanted, but instead they starting fighting one another. I think this is very telling about society as well.
Yeah, that's why it is really easy to make you feel stuff and even manipulate sentiments.
The background score, editing, lighting, cinematography, plot devices are all a part of it. And the human mind just connects all of it, mostly subconsciously. Consciously, you're mostly just following the dialogues and the actors' emotions.

This is actually a great point… this brings up a bigger topic of greed and the effect it has on us as a society.

Director Bong is a genius. But you also are impressive to catch even those minute things.
How is he so good at visualizing? Here's one clue: he has one talent that other directors don't have --- drawing. He's good at drawing. (Actually he used to be a cartoonist for the students' newspaper when in university. And this talent seems to be natural, because his father was a designer.)
He's so good at drawing that he can visualize his ideas easily (like, on the storyboards) before shooting. This's a huge advantage other directors don't have.
he also acted most of the scenes by himself right before the actors portray it to tell exactly how he wanted the scenes to be translated by the actors. crazy

Excellent video! I'm working on my own at the moment and it's interesting to see how many different things you took out of the film that I never had considered. I think it's why the film is doing so well, everyone is walking away with something different but we all have one thing in common...we can't stop thinking about it XD All fantastic points, beautiful editing, really appreciated this!
Can’t wait to see your take!
One very strong metaphor for me is the fight between two poor families that is happening in the basement of the rich family's house. It definitely is not put there just for dramatic effect. As I see it, it is a clear visualisation of the struggle that lower class has to deal with in today's society, the struggle that is happening all of the time, the fight between those in need for better jobs, higher status and salary's, but to get to them you have to be better than bunch of other lower class people who want the same thing. The thing is, number of available positions is restricted, and only few are going to get there. What you get as a result is fight in which every possible way to get to your target is justified. Simply put, it's a bloodbath. And while this is happening, the rich are enjoying the life, having a laugh, partying, and underneath them, in their near distance, sometimes even in their own basement, the battle for survival is happening, the battle they themselves are not even aware of, and why should they be? Lower class struggle doesn't affect them in any way, and it's not until that very fight compromises their own convenience, that they become aware of it's existence.
I get a very different feeling from that. The opportunities weren't limited for them, they could just easily agree to let the housekeeper in from time to time or to help them now they had power, but no. Just a few minutes ago, the Kim mother was talking about how she would be better if she was rich but she was even worse. There are so many movies just shoving "rich are evil" down out throats nowadays but Parasite was so much more than that.
The Platform illustrates your point much better.

Bong Joon Ho has a nickname in Korea called Bong Detail. This fantastic video completely shows how he gets the name
"Bongtail" meaning Bong Detail
I just saw the film a couple days ago, and the ending really stood out to me. I immediately thought about the myth of The Dream of success, and how they will work and wait and hope for when the opportunity comes, though it probably won’t. It won’t undo all they’ve lost already.... the years of struggle, pain, isolation, the death and maltreatment of those in the same situation (the previous owners)... the idea that once the son gets /his/ way, all his father will have to do is come up the stairs. He must achieve the improbable for even the chance to elevate others.
“Until then. So long.”
Chills.
The details about the physical barriers really helped explain a lot of what I was feeling but couldn’t articulate / quite pinpoint.
Thank you for this video. You’re one of my favorite channels!
The ending song for this movie was sung by the poor's son. It's called 500 something years, I can't remember, it's how long he needs to work to buy the house

What makes this movie a winner, is how much conversation is going on about it after seeing it. I never saw the perspective of what you just described. But now it makes the movie richer visually. The story line, the actors, the set, all being talked about more so then most movies. A craft, an art and a story well presented.
