first 10 minutes of parasite: oh i know where this is going
the rest of parasite: no i fucking dont
Okay but SAME
Where did you think it would go
Same. That ending caught me off guard
I feel like the sister is the only one that dies because she’s the one who’s actually talented and could get somewhere in her life as opposed to the rest of the family, which makes this movie even more devastating.
Oh wow... damn that hits hard...
And she didn’t have sympathy for what they were doing
@@marichatismynameandladynoi1990 what? none of them had any sympathy for what they were doing lmao
True story. If she was alive, her dad wouldn’t be living you know where (sorry, trying not to spoil this for those who haven’t seen it XD)
I think there’s another theory that says the reason she died was because she tried to fit in with the rich. There was a line in the movie when her brother said she looked the part of a rich person when she was in the bathtub which was why she died because she was trying to be someone she wasn’t.
This movie is a goddamn CLASSIC. The Academy did something right when it gave them all of those Oscars.
P990
periodt
Yessir 🥳🥳
The way the Oscars mess up every year (like the recent Chadwick snub), it may have been the ONLY thing they ever did right lol
@@ambriaashley3383 And the Weeknd snub too. The Weeknd's reaction is legendary though, snubbing the Grammy's back by refusing to submit his music from here on out.
I love how when it rains, the rich family just has to cancel their camping trip and come home. Meanwhile, the same rain literally destroys the poor family's home and almost everything they own. The stark difference is insane. *Chef's kiss*
The rich lady even says that the rain was a blessing because now their yard looks beautiful, and the yard literally represents hope
Do y'all know that quote that goes " we're not in the same boat, we're in the same storm".
And the resentment afterwards when the rich family started planning the birthday party while they were stuck in that gym area with everyone else? CHILLS
Also, the kid's play tent doesn't even leak, yet the Kims whole home is literally destroyed.
I love this thread sm, y'all are pointing out all kinds of things I didn't notice! Movies are such a blessing
I was suprised how Ash didn't mention the scene at 14:07 when the dad, mom and son are sitting on the ground and the sister is the only one sitting on the couch, another symbolism about how she's the only one to have a chance to climb the social ladder
so many metaphors i CANT THIS FILM IS AMAZING
Also when she is in the bathtub when the rich family is gone! Her brother says something along the lines of “she looks like she belongs here”. That’s also why she was the only one to die of the family, because she was too close to being able to jump that hurdle.
@@drew2510 ohmygod
@@drew2510 I think her metaphor in the storyline is like Icarus, using waxwings (which are fake wings) to fly and fly too high too close to the sun so she eventually falls and dies.
@@VampireJoe stop, this is too good and you’re this close to making me cry.
It's sad that the daughter was the one that died because she was probably the only one out of the family who would make it up the ladder.. but I think that's exactly why they did it, it made it all the more hopeless for their chances of success.
And they gave the son brain damage. Maybe he could’ve schemed his way up the ladder but not in his condition
@@KoolKukumber The whole problem is the ladder though. It can't end with a hopeful pro capitalist message of being the one to "make it". We all know that kid is never gonna buy that house and that's all on the system. As long as capitalism stays the way it is today, we're always gonna have a hell of an unfair ladder problem and people going to hell and back to climb it (mostly, in an overwhelming ratio, unsuccessfully) , when it shouldn't have to be like that at all in the first place. Systems are human inventions and we're letting this one and the fucking billionaires make the other 99% of us their bitch.
@@l.josino PREACH!!! 👏👏👏
@@KoolKukumber :(
as the man himself said, “once you overcome 1-inch tall barrier of subtitles, you will be introduced to so many more amazing films.”
ikr, also why is it such a problem to watch dubbed version of the film then? like I'm Russian and most of the films, specially the ones that come out in the cinemas, have voice overs like what, do they not do it for English-speaking audience or..?
It's a real huge barrier for me because I end up focusing too much on the words abd not what's happening unfortunately
@@xizzy8534 ehh as a sub watcher, most of us don’t like how unnatural it looks & feels. Idrk how to explain it.
@@charlottabeans6637 what I meant is that it's a pity when people refuse to watch the film because of subs (as they find it uncomfortable) but if you like it that way it's great!
@@xizzy8534 ohhh I thought u meant dub watchers, I don’t watch dubs
Asian movies finally getting the recognition they deserve after all these years. Minari seriously is that girl too along with Parasite
AMEN
Your comment>>>
UGH i loved minari sm 😩
And thats on periodt.
minari deserved better on the Oscars tbh
the deaths of the characters are also symbolic. jessica’s death is bloody, messy and the park dad’s death isn’t which is commentary on how the rich are peaceful even in death while the poor struggle even then
the fact that the family members were falling in the same order in which they entered the house still have me saying ✨parasite is THAT f*cking movie✨
dude i never realized!!
Ok but the “all youll need to do, is walk up the stairs” is just pure pain
wait what if this was a metaphor for that plan never happening? i mean, the father was poor and miserable down in that basement and "walk up the ladder" in terms of hierarchy is almost Impossible because it is likely not to get out of your current economical status... that means the father possibly died down there and never reunited with his family, as ash said at the end
@@e_clown yeah I think that's exactly the point, walking up the stairs is equivalent for climbing the ladder which we all know is an impossible task.
@@Bluedoe542 and a lot of rich people say it like it's easy bc they have no idea how unfair their status is, so they think if you're not at their level it's bc you didn't try
@@lylivictor hell even lower middle-class to upper middle class have this childish belief too
THIS is worst than the stab in the chest
one metaphor that i loved from this movie was the "smell". Poverty is not something that people can help. They cannot just get rich instantly like some people think. It stays, sometimes through generations. Sometimes you can't wash away a smell, because that's the smell you were born with. You're family smelled like that, your house smelled like that. You can't escape it.
Yeah and the stink bugs add ti that V metaphor
It was the smell of their place... there is no smell DNA for the poor, it's their living conditions.
@@esikazemese....yes that is true.
@@SJ-vv8vt The little kid says they all smell the same
@@SJ-vv8vt the mom smells it when she’s getting driven home the day of Dasungs party, the girl doesn’t smell it because she likes Kevin, she believes that he is one of them, they view him as intelligent because he’s a tutor, however Mr park is just a driver, they don’t view him the same way, to them he’s just another utility
the shot of homeboy coming up the stairs in the dark was quite possibly the scariest thing I'd ever seen in my entire life
it honestly gave me nightmares
@@rosegardenmadisonsquare same bro same
For someone who loves horror movies and has seen ALL the things this is probably one of the single scariest things I have ever seen. That shot is done so well.
I saw the movie at like 3 am, imagine how much I shat myself
i thought it was kinda funny bc he looked like a cartoon character with those crazy eyes😔
still bizarrely scary though
remember when the rich mom said that the picture that his son painted (which the sister thought was a monkey) was a self portrait? it was actually the man from the basement and the dark coloring in the left corner of the paper was the sign of that the person is in the basement (at least i think that)
I thought that too, watching this video 👌🏼👌🏼
You’re right 👍🏻
i thought that too the second time i watched it
the craziest thing was that the "expensive rock" was fake.
if it was real, it wouldn't have floated in the flooding scene...even the rich friend was fake...
But the rock doesn't float at 24:24, so how can it be floating in the other scene?
@@MoonstarWStarmoon thats more of a creek so maybe since the water is so shallow there's not enough to make the rock buoyant? Idk
@@Mila-Rosa OK then how did a fake rock smash the dudes brain in then?
wasnt that a mistake tho? and they just left it in the movie cause it worked
@@MoonstarWStarmoon because the guy that tried to kill everyone smashed the rock pretty hard. But since the rock is fake, it didn’t kill him. If it was a real rock it would’ve killed him right there.
can we agree ash’s movie choices are always IMMACULATE
LMAO you know how many comments I have gotten being like "I love you but can we watch something that is better than this?"
@@urinternetmomash never apologized for shit queen, all your content is fucking Oscar gold. Like I will fight anyone who says different 😅😂😂😂😂
@@urinternetmomash which movies? Cause I’ll fight anyone that thinks you’re movie choices are bad. They aren’t, never have been and never will be
@@urinternetmomash who said that queen?? i’ll fight whoever said that to you.
@@urinternetmomash i love it when you react to incredible movies like this. Plus it’s your channel watch whatever you want.
The stone representing the false hope of getting fortune (due to it being fake)
The stairs representing the rise and fall in social class
The doorbell ringing at exactly half point in the script
Rich people leaving in ignorance while poor people are literally fighting one another to survive/ make it to a higher status
The daughter being the only one being able to climb the latter, hence her sitting on the couch instead of the floor.
The ending being Min’s plan, but us knowing it’ll never work out bc “plans never work”
This movie is just ✨chef’s kiss✨
i love that! can you please elaborate on the daughter sitting on the couch part? what do you mean? thanks :)
YES! when Ash asked why the mother wanted to called the police, the thing is poor people need to fight for even an ounce of security and Mrs Kim sees the presence of the old nanny a threat to the security her family is having
i like this scene very much because it also is a microcosm of how a system built by the rich neglects the people below them in the social triangle, so both their families are exploited by the rulling class and instead of having class unity to go up against the people who exploit them they turn against each other...
TRULY, THIS MOVIE IS JUST CHEF'S KISS FROM START TO FINISH!!!
@@4to5MouseHive They’re talking about this scene in 14:11
Out of everyone in the family, the daughter managed to convince Mrs. Park the most (even as the parents got into the house, they are just considered the help). Mrs. Park even invited her to the birthday party at the end and ask her to bring out the cake, like she’s one of their own.
At least that’s how I interpret it 🙂
@@Lala-lenna True. They say she fits in better than they do, like she was one of them while her brother asks himself if he really fits in. This also ties with the fact that she was so talented in forgery.
@@SoWhosGae yah he said she was at home when she was in the bathtub
This movie had so many levels to it, it's actually insane. You could watch it for the 7th time and find something in the dialogue or cinematography that was foreshadowing or seen in a different context. Would've been a crime to not get Best Picture. One of my favorite movies of all time.
EXACTLY
@@urinternetmomash did you notice the line that was "crossed" at 6:58 ?
so true. something that I just recently noticed is that the rich family never looks down. they're all hiding under beds/tables/the literal kitchen and they're never looking down so they never notice, it's amazing how everything is a metaphor
this is sooooo off topic but omg ur profile picture. i remember this app from years ago, do your remember what the app name was? ah SORRY 😭🧎🏾♀️
@@janieceholmes YEOO I WAS ABOUT TO COMMENT ABOUT THIS HAHAH
Changing “Seoul University” to “Oxford” is the same energy as changing the name of the first Harry Potter book from “Philosophers Stone” to “Sorcerers Stone”. It’s subtly saying “Yeah you’re not that bright but it’s okay, here you go”
lmaoo fr i was so confused for a while before i watched harry potter and after watching i was like "but Philosophers stone sounds so much fkn cooler"
@@renoirrr it is cool but I also like the alliteration of Sorcerer's Stone. Rolls off the tongue nicely in my opinion.
Actually changing it actually worked bc of Korea’s valuation of overseas education. Like when the son tells the rich mom how he studied at “Indiana State University” and she’s like “oh how exclusive” lmao
Her trying to call the police is a big example of when people get amnesia when they climb up.
this!!
Wait, please elaborate
@@applepi3703 people that were poor and became rich tend to forget what it was like to be poor, and think they're above that because "they worked hard, unlike those other bums living off of social security"
@@LillyBoe56 Ah, okay. Thank you for explaining.
The fact that we are still exited to see someone react to the movie 2 YEARS after its release date just speaks to how amazing it is.
As much as I like this movie, there’s literally reaction videos to movies release literally decades ago that people watch on RUclips. You must be new here😂

Wait tell u see US
Growing up everyone in lower class knew that if you have stairs you were definitely a person with money. And having that many just proves how rich they were
The fact that the higher you go the better you live and the lower you go it gets worst.
@@bribrown1016 In canada at least, even for apartments, the higher the floor the more expensive rent is
Exactly, this. I used to have a one-floor house and after going to a friend's house when I was younger, all I thought of was stairs...how cool would they be?
And in the basement apartment, their only stairs lead to the toilet, and they have to crouch down to use it. No space to climb for the poor, and it's shitty the whole way.
@@shaylevene6754 Are you talking about apartments were you take an elevator like indoor apartments (idk how to explain it) or apartments that have 2 or 3 levels? Because in Houston the apartment above has a cheaper rent because people don't want to go up and down stairs specially someone with a disability,or having to carry things upstairs and making multiple rounds .
the fact that the madame mentioned that artists does not even last a month foreshadows Jessica’s death :( 8:26
the amount of symbolism videos I watched about parasite after watching the movie is INSANE. the craziest one to me was how in the beginning, they talk about 1/4 of the pizza boxes being rejected and that’s foreshadowing how one of the four family members (kijung/jessica) died in the end- she’s the “rejected” family member as she had the most potential to get out of her social class and her brother told her “you fit in here. this rich house suits you, not us.”
THE FORESHADOWING OF HIM SAYING THAT TOOOOO!! ugh she was literally the one I was rooting for to get the house or become rich
Sweetie you weren’t aggressive last video(Crazy Rich Asians) ... I agreed with every statement.... that man is fine like a #5 pencil lead

relating to the pandemic, celebrities could not ven stay home in their million dollar mansions for a month before they started vacationing and partying, while lower class and even middle class people struggled to keep their jobs in the pandemic to KEEP THEIR house
Not to mention, the middle and lower class people also died even while sticking to the rules coz the cost of testing and treatment (not everywhere is the same but I'm sure it is in the USA and many other countries).
Meanwhile, the rich could afford to frolic and get covid, and still be relatively untouched.
AMERICA. 😂
@@reallyjam idk how americans do it lmfao, in my country, rich or poor followed the covid guidelines at the beginning of the pandemic. and us celebs had the audacity to say we're all in this together.
@@jmarais RIGHT!! Like…..RIGHTTTTT!
The sex scene is a paradox-
The family is suffering *underneath* while on top of them, the other side is just having the time of their life *pleasuring themselves.*
It also shows the whole concept of the movie : people peeking into each other's lives, infiltrating their intimacy
Plus they were fetishising what they found to be so disgusting.
Late reply but I have to point out that this isn't a paradox
bro NOTHING beats watching parasite not knowing what it's about AT ALL LMAO I remember my friend and I literally quaking and holding hands in the theatre because we were terrified of the old housekeeper at the door, thinking we accidentally picked a horror movie to watch 😩😭
Literally watched this with my friends thinking it was a zombie movie.
I though she was about to kill the mother. The lady comes up drenched, with a beat up face and with blood on her and you let her enter when you are her replacement and are chilling with your family? NO ma'am, I thought she was suspicious and was about to kill her or something.
Nothing beats watching movies or reading books without knowing some synopsis. The experience is so special
I’m literally doing my college freshman tesis based on the architecture of the house as a implicit representation of society and the international impact of the movie. I CRIED watching this film because it’s PERFECT

Ashley simping over Park Seojoon is my new fave thing. But I get it, he’s SO FINE
and for no REASON. who allowed him to walk around like that
That power shift when the old housekeeper realised the scam was everything. I think their callousness to each other as poor families was a form of the crabs in a barrel mentality.
This hits stronger when you take into account that in every scene where the two representations of the poor families it literally involves them pulling or pushing each other down
For reeeal
Like
Your husband literally lived in the f basement for four years but now that you know she’s lying YOU’RE THE ONE TRYING TO TELL THE RICH PEOPLE

@@Anna_frhl well take this scenario; you see like 5 homeless hungry people while walking down the street. you give one of them an entire loaf of bread. what would they do? fight for it. the same basically applies here
The peach scene was quite possibly the best scene in cinematic history, hands down. The shots, the lighting, the song choice, her face going up the stairs!! Iconic. I get goosebumps every time.
why did the beginning make me cry?? damn im sensitive

As a relatively poor person in India, I happen to go to a school where people are like a million times more rich than me and the thing about smell is so important. No matter how much the dad tries to cover his smell and wear cologne, the boss always thinks he smells bad. It's the same thing with me. A lot of my friends don't know my situation and one thing that they say is that I smell different. I'm surprised a lot of people haven't picked up on that specific aspect that BJH embedded into the movie because it's a reality for a lot of poor people.
Yeah, it hits home. When I was little I used to get bullied because I smell like I bathed in "Cheap soap", in my country is a blue bar soap (usually for clothes or cleaning parts of the house) and it was a common comment, not even from the same people. Until this day I'm obsessed with smelling good, I still can't afford expensive perfume or expensive soap for my clothes, but I always try to buy a really good smelling body soap.
PD: Sorry if something doesn't read right, I'm latina and I'm still learning English haha
@@xXxYaszMyxXx Jabon Rey? 🇨🇴
Omg yeas . I used to live with my rich aunt and i remember when my cousins and aunt think i am smell and close their nose on me , i would smell my own body and wondered whats wrong about how i smell . And because of that it made me really insecure and felt small
:(
Most westerners who saw this movie cannot fully understand what real poverty is like.
The father says you know what plan never fails no plan at all and his son then makes a plan to get his dad out of the basement and they don’t ever reunite because he never ended up making enough money that connection gives me chills
"Money doesn't buy you happiness" was used as an insult to the rich, but nowadays regular people use it against each other
(edit : this is just my opinion on the phrase lol) that phrase has always been weird to me. because yeah, money can't buy happiness for rich people. you can't buy things for a rich person to make them happier because they already have all those material items. but for a poor person, money can buy things that can build a happy life. a home, food on the table, safety. so i guess the validity of that phrase depends on who you are saying it to. to some, money can buy things to make you happy. but to others, it can't, because they already have everything.

Parasite really is ✨THAT✨ movie
You just keep on proving how *immaculate* your taste is
I don't know if any video essays on Parasite talk about this, but the fact that they get fruits for snacks every time during lessons is a huge signifier the Park family is loaded. Fruit is very expensive in Korea. It's more or less considered a luxury to be able to afford to buy and eat fruits.
no it fucking isn't?? I don't know where you got this info.
@@chaewonjeon2787 are you korean
@@chaewonjeon2787 a quick google search can show you that what they said is true
I heard from someone who is Korean in his video that fruits in Korea are expensive. He was so shocked that Mexico sells melons at a cheap price compared to Korea that he bought 10; he was on vacation in Mexico and now lives there.
@@chaewonjeon2787 a simple watermelon can be a graduation gift, that's how expensive fruit is.
The director Bong later told that during the awkward sex scene, he wanted audiences to feel uncomfortable and awkward as an involvement to the poor.
Same as other comments saying it’s so devastating that the sister is the one who dies because she’s the one with the ability to climb up the ladder, but I’ll add that I think it represents overall the death of the middle class and the ever widening gap between the lower and upper classes.
its also symbolic of how the dad in the rich family said something along the lines of him liking 'when people dont cross the line'. Jessica was the only one with potential to cross the poor/rich class divide but never could.
Imagine if she was the middle child or something too. Story wise I mean. And shes the only child who actually dies. It would have been a massive clue to the ever widening gap between poor and rich and how middle class really is "dying".
it's WILD to me that many people have a problem with subtitles and thus haven't seen this MASTERPIECE
No literally.. it’s what makes foreign films so fucking great, you just get transported to a whole different realm. Intouchables, Portrait Of A Lady On Fire, Parasite, Minari, The Handmaiden, All About My Mother, i could go on and on. These movies are epic and i could not recommend them enough
Exactly. Like get over your xenophobia or leave
i literally don’t understand it either! if i don’t have subtitles on something, the words just go in through one ear and out through the other
@@lesbiangoddess290 I don't think xenophobia has anything to do with this most people just don't like reading so they don't like subtitles
@@optimisticelement3193yh theres that too. some people fall asleep watching subtitles lol

Ashley and Parasite the combo I never thought I needed but I did
Edit: Look at Ashley’s brain cells workin
I'm glad Korean cinema is getting the recognition it deserves. Their acting, plots, characters and the social meaning behind their movies are the best in the world, Hollywood could never.
EXACTLYYYY
American Hollywood for some reason doesnt want to tackle such amazing ideas that delve into the socioeconomic divide because for a lot of people in Hollywood they are living it up. They don't see the divide. And it's for some reason more popular to focus on stories that involve love triangles or jump scare moments when in reality shit in the real world that we deal with every day is interesting enough to write about. To use on screen.
Ikrrr
ikr
When he says “all you have to do is walk up the stairs” it just makes me so sad:( like if the stairs represent climbing the economic ladder, then it just shows that both of those tasks are not as simple if not impossible
the funniest thing about the scene at 12:13 is that kiwoo is coaching kitaek in acting, but choi wooshik (kiwoo's actor) is a young, up and coming actor and song kangho (kitaek's actor) is one of south korea's most famous and highly regarded actors with a long, established career. it's like if anya taylor-joy gave acting tips to meryl streep lmao
I can’t be the only who saw the title and was concerned that people forgot about the movie
I GASPED at the hot sauce on the napkin bc they LITERALLY SAID “The icing on the cake” and that PARALLELS LATER!!! Ahhh! I’ve only seen it once so I’m basically watching it again through this video!
i absolutely love it when at the beginning the pizza lady says that 1 of 4 are rejects referring to the pizza boxes, but its foreshadowing to the fact 1 of the 4 family die by the end
Another thing about the scene in 6:57 , notice how the mom (rich) and the housekeeper (poor) are two sides of the windowpane? There's a seam that seperate them, and in the movie, the housekeeper claps over the boundary and snaps back to her side. A reference to how the dad says he "can't stand [poor] people who cross the line".
Damn !!!!!
just the visual architecture of parasite is incredible - that montage of them setting up the removal of the housekeeper is perfection
I don't know if you noticed in the movie but there is another motif concerning imaginary lines 6:57 7:00 7:10 8:04 and it's about how the protagonists never cross the lines, and how the rich dad likes about the other one, how he never "crosses the line" The whole thing represents how the lower class never get to be a higher class. Genius!!!
Omg! This movie is so brilliant! I have watched so many “explained” videos and yet two years later I still discover more symbols and metaphors in this masterpiece!
@@clrmtsml also I just noticed that at the end of the movie, when the son has “bought the house” at 24:33 and the dad has come up from the basement and joins the family outside, he too crosses a line (the corner in a wall)
@@ev7785 Mind blowed 🤯
Omg!! I just noticed it!! Seriously they used their brain to the max while making this flim
Gotta say, South Korea took over the 2010s that proves entertainment outside of America has been a global influence thanks to social media. This movie really just concluded the last year of the decade on how beautifully talented they are! (Hence, first ever foreign film to win an oscar)
Edit: my mistake that it's not the first foreign film but it was the first to be awarded in history on something grand besides the first south korean
Parasite is not the first foreign film to win an oscar though. The artist (a french film) also won the oscar in 2011. Parasite is such a good movie tho and I happy it got the recognition it deserved ! :)
@@florianbonnet8984 ooops true. I think its the first non english language film to win an oscar for best picture then
@@wolflike24124 Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon is the original foreign language film to win best picture
Throughout the movie, the rich family never looks down, which is why they didn't see them hiding under the table, even as they walk up the stairs from below, or lie down on the couch.
Subtitles is literally the door to a world of cinema that quite honestly, like Parasite is *THAT* movie.
Another note I picked up on is how the rain can symbolize the problems that don’t affect the rich. While the family has their entire house flooded because of the rain, the rich family is upset that the rain disrupted their camping trip. Just shows how the rich are so above it all. Literally.
NO BECAUSE THE HOLD THAT MOVIE HAD ON ME, THE TWISTS, THE MESSAGE, THE CHARACTERS EVERYTHING WAS PERFECTION IT DESERVED EVERY OSCAR IT WON!!
As a european it is so funny to me when americans complain about having to read subtitles, in my country cinemas have subtitles in two different languages at the same time lol
As a fellow European, I agree.
@@CNMU same! I remember the moment I finally realised they were in different languages so vividly!
*dude its the fact that i watch parasite when it was newly out and let me tell you THERE WAS NO ONE IN THE MOVIE THEATRE EXCEPT ME AND MY FAMILY and now it has won best picture its like i just watch it grow*
My favorite thing is that their child didn't have seizures, he just passed out, but they are probably too... I don't want to say dumb but I mean? So actually Jessica was in a more serious condition, he could even offer to drive them *both* to the hospital, but he didn't care too much for that
it really hit me when mr park was more concerned about his son, who only passed out, then the girl bleeding out on the ground and even wanted the dad to stop helping her to drive them to the hostpital and just leave her there.
I think it's a way to show how the rich exaggerate their own situations and blow it out of proportion. This is the same way politicians try to connect with the audience, with their bullshit tales of their own struggles and then try to say they understand how the struggling class feel.
Yea the whole 15 min seizure thing and the “trauma recovery cake” are all such bs that rich people do. They got so much money without much to worry about so they create stuff to fuss and obsess about

This film is just a masterpiece in the way that it switches genres so seamlessly. Fantastic storytelling in how it goes from having comedic moments to quickly becoming a horror story.
The fact that their names are derived from the syllables of Gisaengchung (Parasite) is so well thought out. Gi-Taek (Father), Gi-Woo (Kevin), Gi-Jung (Jessica) and Chung-Sook (Mother).
Big brain Bong Joon-Ho. 🧠
Is it the names of the rich or poor family?
@@madc1568 Poor family

23:19 kijung stopping dying just to look at her father stab the guy is so good lmfao
23:10
The way Ki-taek doesn't hold the dad by the soulders to turn him around but rather rip off his native head dress (which can symbolise a position of great respect and leadership) is amazing.
He doesn't just want to kill him, he wants to symbolically dethrone him. He literally wants him to lose his position of "being above" him before dying.
Maybe that's just my interpretation but I like it.
I actually looked into the awkward sex scene because it felt so random to me at first. The scene is actually a callback to when they discussed firing the driver after finding the underwear in the car and speculating about the girl being on drugs. They were horrified and disgusted and wanted him fired immediately, and then turn around in this situation and sexualize it
The guy (a) says how the place 'smells' like his driver, then proceeds to touch his wife. it was like that aroused him.
(b) asks the wife if she could wear the cheap underwear. It all feels like some weird fetishization of being poor. Very odd scene. I disliked Mr. Park immensely after this.
@@divyak9980 yes, I think it’s more common than people think for the rich and/or powerful to sexualize the poor (or black people, etc) after pretending they don’t like them 🤢🤢
i never looked at it this way until you mentioned it...
@@divyak9980 That's actually exactly what it is. I forget where I saw/read it but that's exactly it. They're fetishizing being poor and the mom being on crack or whatever they actually say in the scene. It's wild. I was coming down to the comments to see if anyone had said anything about it.
Oh my God, that scene just took on a dozen more layers of disgusting and uncomfortable in my head. I knew there had to be a reason it was shown like that but ugh
Thanks, I hate it.
IT WON AN OSCAR FOR A REASON, INCREDIBLE MOVIE
"park seo joon im available on friday" sis today is friday
exactly. I'm waiting for my call
@@urinternetmomash okay but did he call ?
asian media and foreign media in general deserves recognition and representation beyond just being relegated to the 'international' category - the fact that parasite WON won and minari continued the trend is so heartwarming for the future
YES. Another one i highly recommend everyone is The Handmaiden. Excellent storytelling, acting and visuals, and it keeps you on your toes the entire time
@@ninam.6997 i LOVED The Handmaiden - i was glued to my seat
@@Chrestomanci94 SAME! I seriously need to rewatch it soon. It’s so damn good
The peach scene is the best damn thing ever (followed by the jjapaguri scene). The way it is filmed, the sense of dark humor (right in front of the camera and also behind the camera (like the young actor "teaching" the older actor how to act) to it and THAT - DAMN - MUSIC is just peak of perfection. I love it.
omg as a korean, seeing that ICONIC oscar clip in the beginning makes me cry idk why
Broo I really thought this film was a comedy at first and was like what? 😭😭
Also your point when watching parasite that it’s a movie that you wish you can forget just so you can watch it for the first time again. Literally my brother and I were like “this is such a masterpiece of a film that you have to wait years to rewatch it (for it can be close enough to feel like the first time watching)
ash: "i have no idea if anyone wants this video"
me: "i do. i want this video"
15:28: I feel like this scene is such a realistic representation of social classes and life. Despite the main character's family and the housekeeper's family being similar statuses, the moment one of them felt "higher" they were quick to turn on the other, hence why the mom was going to call the police. They're literally still lower class, but living in a fake reality in the rich family's house made them think they were different and better. Everyone in lower classes bow down to the rich but turn on their own just to make it to the top.
One thing I notice while watching this video, is that the rock that was gifted at the beginning by his friend is hollow. Rocks don’t float unless we’ll their hollow on the inside. The thoughtful gift was just a fake cheap hollow rock.
5:25 the way she finds a way to mention her daddy issues in every video still surprises me to this day
I'm so happy that this film won best picture. However, no-one talks about the fact that none of these incredible actors got any nominations. Especially Woo-shik as our main character Ki Woo! That was criminal on the academy's behalf.
Also love to see someone else thirst over Park Seo-Joon
this movie is so incredible you can watch it like 10 times and not find every little detail it’s a masterpiece
"it doesn't get better it gets continuously worse" that's capitalism, baby!
The scene where the boy sees the husband was the scariest shit I’ve ever seen
i love how you can genuinely see how much ashley loves this movie lmao (but like AS SHE SHOULD ITS INCREDIBLE)
Honestly when I watched this movie, I was happy the old housekeepers husband got revenge. She just asked them to feed him a couple times and she died cause of it. I love the ending.
5:27 it's not an ashleys video if she doesn't bring up her daddy issues lmao we're so proud of you girl
Jane Fonda was literally the best choice to open that envelope. The moment the movie won will always give me chills.
I DID A FILM ANALYSIS ASSIGNMENT ON THIS FOR MY FILM CLASS AND GOT A 15/15. THIS MOVIE IS A MASTERPIECE
Omg congrats!
That's awesome! Happy for you!
@@libbyf51 OMG THANK YOU!
@@kayep2616 THATS SO KIND MY HEART 😭 THANK YOU SO MUCH
omg congrats! ur paper must've been so awesome, now i wanna read it lol🤣
Something I’ve been thinking about is Ash doing a Gossip Girl commentary and how hilarious it would be anyone else wanna see it?
Yes please
YESSS OMG
@@victoriam438 I need to hear her roast Vanessa and Jenny
YES IM BEGGING
the sisters death makes me cry every damn time :(
Ash- “stairs is a huge part of this movie”
Me- “inserts every performance of “No Tears Left Too Cry” performance by Ariana
Lmao 🤣
I never watched it because i honestly thought, and no one told me otherwise, it was about a virus and I didn’t need a depression session. Now...we will be streaming right away
why would it be called parasite if it was about a virus?
@@itsnotaricaria 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
okay, when the mom and dad does it on the couch, i think it illustrates how they feel so private in their own house that they can do it there. and it shows a sense of complete privacy that they are completely comfortable.
I think it also meant to portray that Mr. Park fetishizes the same people he condemns. A common theme throughout the movie is that he dislikes their smell, and yet he wants his wife to put on ‘cheap’ and used panties, and touches her right after complaining about the father smelling like ‘an old radish’
Ew
Literal perfection. I’ve watched a few times now and have seen many analysis videos, it’s just such a powerful film that depicts the difference in social wealth.
Absolutely well done, from the acting to the directing. Deserved every ounce of praise it gets
The way this movie made me depressed for 3 weeks is just * chef's kiss *🤠
Ikr? After it ended I cry for like some solid 30 minutes
Ashley this whole video: "If you know you know.😏"
Us: "We know, queen" 🥳
there is not a single day where im not blown away by how many motifs and easter eggs are in this movie. every single detail means something
Another clue as to the father dying in the basement is that in the beginning of the movie he says that plans never happen. And the son said it was his plan to save him, therefore, it'll never happen.
