      The details and metaphors of Parasite

      This year Cannes has been a high-quality year, with Almodovar's "Pain and Glory" a private and tender look back, and a genre film master like Quentin Feng Junhao who takes into account both business and art. As the work that finally won the Palme d'Or, "Parasite" deserves its name.

      When this film is first brushed, it is difficult not to be impressed by its plot. No one does not like the story, especially the rhythm is so exquisitely controlled. After watching it, I fell into deep...

      parasitic high

      The men and women at the top of the Tower of Babita looked at the rain falling outside the window, and the world was already flooded.

      After watching the new work of Korean director Bong Joon-ho (Memories of Murder, Snowpiercer), my mind fell into a deep depression, I was lost in the ups and downs, and it took a long time to integrate the emotions that were like riding a roller coaster. If I were only going to write one review this year, I would review this work.

      What does it taste like? poor taste

      In recent years, society seems to be generally talking about the topic of class solidification. What is class solidification? It means that it becomes difficult to circulate among all social classes, and it is difficult for people to change their own destiny through hard work, exhaust their efforts, and find that they are just wandering around where they are, and after all, they have not been able...

      Korean localization of Ripley-style stories

      In 1955, American female writer Patricia Highsmith published her new book "The Genius Ripley", which immediately caused a sensation. Readers found that this novel and similar works seem to be different. The protagonist Tom Ripley is young and intelligent, has an amazing memory and...

      overrated movie

      Overestimated films, the reason for the high score, it is estimated that this theme is to expose the gap between the rich and the poor. "Due to technical reasons", it seems to be correct. Strongly discouraged! Warning: The following content contains a lot of spoilers.

      As the saying goes, poor people must have something to hate. "Son" forged a certificate and has been lucky enough to get a tutoring job. But I don't know what to do. I want my sister to find a job, and...

      The smartest ants and the stupidest upper class, from the day they meet, they will stick to each other desperately, sucking up their flesh and bones, but the real parasites are not them at all. What has society done to them? Feng Junhao used extremely fluent audio-visual language to perfectly combine belly laughter and...

      What Feng Junhao created is a distorted time and space built with the most false illusions and the worst maliciousness. Countless tunnels are entwined leading to the new world, but they are finally blocked by the same wall. Are you saying rich people are stupid? Aren't poor people stupid? Aren't we stupid when we watch movies? Stupidity is the only law that keeps this absurd society running at a high speed. Therefore, Feng's provocation is an undifferentiated philosophical context. What he...

      Since being introduced into this trap made by coincidence, the whole film is almost a vacuum film about three families. Even if you don’t want to delve into the irrational feeling brought by the writing style necessary to please the audience, the lyric at the end really escapes. To the inexplicable point, emotions need to be precise rather than intense. When the symbols continue to pile up and the seemingly interesting points jump out without interruption, only waves are seen without ups and...

    Evaluation action

    "Parasite" fully demonstrates director Feng Junhao's housekeeping skills, simple settings, popular stories, unpredictable reversals, subtle rhythms, satirical character opposition, and profound social care. Under his superb scheduling, the angle of view of the camera, the interpretation of the role, and the appropriate soundtrack work together to achieve 100% control of the audience's emotions and reactions.

    Movie quotes

    • Kim Ki-jung: [about Moon-gwang] She may look like a sheep, but inside, she's a fox. Sometimes she acts like she owns the house.

      Kim Ki-woo: Right. Of all the people in that house, she's lived there the longest. She was housekeeper to the architect Namgoong, but then she went on to work for this family. When the architect moved out, he introduced this woman to Park's family, telling them, "This is a great housekeeper, you should hire her".

      Chung-sook: So she survived a change of ownership.

      Kim Ki-woo: She won't give up such a good job easily.

      Kim Ki-jung: To extract a woman like that, we need to prepare well.

      Kim Ki-woo: Right, we need a plan.

      Park Da-hye: [cut to a scene with Ki-woo and Da-hye] I want to eat peaches. I like peaches best.

      Kim Ki-woo: Why not ask for some?

      Park Da-hye: No peaches at our house. It's a forbidden fruit.

      Kim Ki-woo: [cut back to the Kims; referring to Moon-gwang] So according to what Da-hye told me, she's got a pretty serious allergy to peaches. You know that fuzz on the peach skin? If she's anywhere near it, she gets a full body rash, has trouble breathing, asthma, a total meltdown!

      [Moon-gwang falls sick after Ki-woo puts peach fuzz on her]

      Ki-taek: Anyway. I wasn't trying to eavesdrop, but her words came through clearly! So I couldn't help but...

      Kim Ki-woo: Cut, cut! Dad, your emotions are up to here. Bring them down to about there.

      Ki-taek: So I couldn't help but overhear...

      Kim Ki-woo: Keep it focused!

      Ki-taek: [to Mrs. Park] What I'm trying to say is... it's just that, your housekeeper's voice is quite loud, you know?

      Park Yeon-kyo: I understand, it's all right. Just tell me, okay?

      Ki-taek: She said she got diagnosed with active tuberculosis and she was practically shouting over the phone, so upset she could barely control herself!

      Park Yeon-kyo: Tuberculosis? Come on...

      Ki-taek: It's true, she phoned someone saying she had active TB.

      Kim Ki-wooPark Yeon-kyo: Do people still get TB?

      Kim Ki-woo: [cut back to the Kims] Dad, back in the day, people used to buy Christmas Seals, right? Feels like a bygone era.

      Ki-taek: [cut back to Ki-taek and Mrs. Park] But I saw it on the internet. Korea has the #1 rate of TB of all the OECD countries.

      Kim Ki-woo: [cut back to the Kims] But she's still working, as if nothing's wrong - with a kid like Da-song in the house.

      Ki-taek: [cut back to Ki-taek and Mrs. Park] So you've got a young kid like Da-song in the house, and a TB patient is doing dishes, cooking, spraying spittle...

      Park Yeon-kyo: Stop it, please!

      [cut to the Kims putting peach fuzz on Moon-gwang, causing her to fall sick again, and Ki-taek using chili sauce to fake Moon-gwang's blood]

    • [last lines]

      Kim Ki-woo: Dad, today I made a plan - a fundamental plan. I'm going to earn money, a lot of it. University, a career, marriage, those are all fine, but first I'll earn money. When I have money, I'll buy the house. On the day we move in, Mom and I will be in the yard. Because the sunshine is so nice there. All you'll need to do is walk up the stairs. Take care until then. So long.

    • Ki-taek: They are rich but still nice.

      Chung-sook, Ki-taek's wife: They are nice because they are rich.
