There are many reversals in the film, not only the reversal of the plot, but also the type of reversal. So if you are accidentally spoiled, you may want to hit the spoiler's head with a rock first and then hit your own head. It is recommended not to read any text involving spoilers before watching the feature film, preferably not even the trailer. Those who continue to scroll down without seeing the positive film will be responsible for the consequences.
The protagonist’s family of four squeezed in a dark basement. The commanding point of the family is a toilet, and the net effect is best in the vicinity. The purpose of Rubnet is to browse the recruitment information in a timely manner. A family who has no permanent job can barely make a living by relying on odd jobs such as folding pizza packaging boxes.
However, the family didn't expect that they would soon "Stone" come and run. The son's friend brought a town house stone and a job offer. Based on the introduction of an acquaintance, the son entered the wealthy President Park’s house and became a tutor for President Park’s daughter, and changed his name to Teacher Kevin.
Before entering the job, Mr. Kevin learned from a friend that Mrs. Park's image was broken. Sure enough, it was well-deserved after seeing it. By the way, at the beginning, I thought the direction of the story development was that Mrs. Kevin’s mother and daughter blossomed, and at the same time he attacked Mrs. Park and Ms. Park. As a result, he was more innocent than I thought. He just digs the corner of his friends and seduce the daughter of the Park family.
The youngest son of the Pu family was overestimated by his mother’s art cell, which allowed Mr. Kevin to see new business opportunities, so he brought his sister who is good at Ptu over and made her alias Jessica to become Master Pu’s art teacher and art teacher. therapist. Both brothers and sisters got rich jobs, but they were not satisfied with it. The philosophy they believe in is "a family is to be neat and tidy."
The younger sister set a trap with a pair of underwear, and succeeded in getting President Park to make up a whole set of car shock dramas and fired the driver. She took the opportunity to recommend that she claimed to be a distant relative, who was actually her father's old driver. This old driver used to drive a taxi, and once dragged a German reporter through a rain of bullets and won a five-star praise from German passengers. President Park and his wife have always believed in the tastes of foreigners. Since the Germans are all right, they must not be wrong. They decided to hire an old driver on the spot.
The last remaining step is to get mom in too. For this reason, the three fathers and sons have to join hands to drive away the Pu's housekeeper. The jokes in the film are very dense, but my personal favorite is the rehearsal part of my dad to lie. Song Kanghao was taught to act. This joke that broke the Dimensional Wall was to push the absurd temperament of the film to the pinnacle.
In order to celebrate the offer of all four members of the family, they took advantage of the opportunity of President Park’s family to go camping, dove into the magpie’s nest, and started a party in the park’s mansion. At this time, there was a heavy rain. If I were to be timid, I would definitely start to worry for the first time: How can I camp in this kind of weather? What if the master comes back suddenly? Then timidly cleaned the house. But the protagonist's family of art masters are bold and continue to cheer.
The doorbell rang suddenly, and the arrival of the uninvited guest revealed the unknown secret of this mansion. Not long ago, I watched the new work "Us" by director Jordan Peel of "Escape from the Dead Town". The plots of pushing the door of the secret room and exploring downwards in the two films are very similar, and both of them represent class status by the up and down spatial position. But in contrast, "Parasites" such a talkative movie looks more hearty.
Of course, "Parasite" doesn't convince me in every plot. For example, the former housekeeper didn't report it immediately after getting the handle of the protagonist's family. I find it difficult to understand. With a single click of the send button, all problems can be solved, and it will be beneficial to herself without any harm. Even if the position of her husband will be exposed, their condition will not be worse than it is now, but she has to drag it until something happens. , Is it just to increase the number of viewers for your North Korean news anchor imitation show?
Perhaps the procrastination of the housekeeper can be summarized as "kindness", she can't bear to watch the protagonist's family lose their livelihood. This is a unique quality of the low-level people, because they often don't have many choices when facing oppression, so they start to habitually give priority to the strategy of compromise to face all situations. The protagonist's family let the former housekeeper into the house because of a similar mentality. I know that the person who came is not good, but I can't say what I refuse. "Kindness" is actually a nice way of saying that the weaker habitually compromise.
The protagonist’s family managed to subdue the housekeeper couple, but they learn that President Park and others will be home immediately. The four of them hurriedly cleaned up, and finally passed the blunder, and by the way, they watched the master couple's sofa shake up close. The so-called upper class people are to strictly control all details, whether it is screwing a screw or a [beep] head, it must be rotated regularly, in a clockwise direction.
The establishment of the comedy effect in the first half of the film largely relies on the "sluggish" shaping of President Park, the rich and wealthy woman. This sluggishness reflects the protagonist's shrewdness and directly reflects the status quo of the mismatch between the abilities of social members and their identities. Not only the adults, but even the children of the wealthy have vaguely inherited the dullness of their parents. The youngest son of the Pu family drew himself like a baboon, obviously without talent, but was regarded as a genius by his parents. Also from a boy scout background, the protagonist's son finally solved the Morse code, but he got it wrong. If the little boy translates the signal sent by the "ghost" to him early, although the protagonist's family will be ganged up in advance, it can avoid bloodshed later. Of course, this little boy may not be ill-intelligent, but simply ignore others' requests for help. The people who live there always feel that by isolating those things that don't belong to their class, and preventing them from crossing the boundary, the world can be peaceful. As everyone knows, the longer you hold back, the more fierce it will erupt, and in the end it will only be ushered in the death of the same.
The upper-class people are very slow in all other senses, but their sense of smell is very sensitive, and they can always smell the peculiar sourness of people who do not belong to their class. This seems to be a super power they are born with, and not only adults will have it, but even children have already mastered it. The protagonist’s family of four had just successfully implemented the plan, and all the members of the Pu’s family were employed, and they were seen through by the young master. At that time, the little boy said that the four of them all smelled the same, and the protagonist's family thought it was the body soap and laundry detergent they used that caused the wear. In fact, it has nothing to do with those foreign objects, it is their temperament that is completely different from the upper class in their bones that has betrayed them. In Liu Cixin's "Support for Mankind", the result of the development of capitalism to its peak is that "the rich and the poor are no longer the same species, just as the poor and the dogs are not the same species, the poor are no longer humans." Although the difference between the rich and the poor in the world is not as exaggerated as in science fiction stories, they have been able to distinguish the alien species around them by their biological instincts.
Two kinds of people living in the upper and lower worlds have completely opposite feelings about the same weather phenomenon. The timely rain that purifies the air in the eyes of the rich is the flood that destroys their homes in the eyes of the poor. After the torrential rain, the two families got together again to celebrate the birthday of the young master. The disguise plan that the protagonist’s family painstakingly managed has come to the brink of collapse. As the head of the family, the father no longer thinks about any plans, and can only take one step at a time. The "ghost" whose distress signal was ignored in the basement finally rushed out, blood splattering the birthday party.
The crazy attacker fell in front of President Park. What the latter saw was not a dead life, but a bunch of stinky meat that smelled of poor people. The protagonist's father finally couldn't bear it, stabbing the knife at President Park, and then escaped into his own lower world. Two individuals belonging to different species returned to the same thing when their lives were extinguished. Although the flies will first pounce on the corpses of poor people with poor sanitation, over time, when the two emit a rancid smell together, there is no difference in the eyes of the flies. The protagonist's dad's knife temporarily wiped out the insurmountable gap. The son made a plan to cross the class divide to be more practical and accept mainstream values. However, it is very likely that it will always be just a plan.
What I regret most about "Parasite" is the death of the last sister who was the mastermind of the fraud plan. She was the smartest in the family, and finally became the one who bore all the sins. With her talents, if she could pursue a decent career, she would have a boundless future. It is a pity that the ladder connecting the upper and lower classes has long been washed by heavy rain and made it slippery, steep and difficult to climb. Young people like her have no choice but to use their talents and energy on crooked ways. A society should take a firm attitude towards garbage sorting to properly guide and arrange those potential workers at the bottom who can be buried and regarded as "garbage" and "parasites" by the upper class, instead of just thinking about burying them in the depths. The bottoming out is a big hole, because people are not rubbish after all, they have the motivation and determination to climb up. Once they have climbed up all the time, they must accept the grievances they have accumulated during the climbing process. They will instinctively point the tip of the knife to the vicious kind who are climbing with them and try to drag themselves down and jump up with strength, but in the end they will not let go of those who abandon them, take away the rope ladder, and stand by the pit. The person who looked down at them coldly with his nose.
To break the shackles of class, we must let everyone find a suitable position and contribute their talents and enthusiasm to it. The so-called "fit" is a state between "like" and "good". For example, the little boy in the film likes to paint, but is not good at painting, then painter may not be suitable for his profession. The main ways to find a suitable career are "challenge" and "education", which are also the main growth methods for individuals living in society. The former is efficient and cruel, the latter is stable but expensive. The two are often intertwined. For example, going to class means enjoying education, and taking exams means facing challenges. The motivation for any parent to struggle is to allow children to obtain as much education as possible and avoid the suffering of challenge failure. As a result, educational opportunities continue to become more expensive, and the challenges left to the bottom continue to become more difficult. Ideally, everyone can get enough education opportunities, and they can learn as long as they want, until they have full confidence to find a job that suits them. Unfortunately, at this stage, no country can afford such a social form. High-quality educational resources can only be supplied to a small number of people in accordance with the principle of getting the higher price. The method of assigning social identities according to everyone's talents is difficult to achieve. The children of the rich can do things they like but may not be good at, while the children at the bottom may not even have access to job opportunities that they are good at but do not like. The former is responsible for writing inspirational stories about "pursuing dreams by one's own efforts", while the latter has become a social parasite with laziness and cunning in his bones, living in the dark underground, and occasionally enjoying the sunshine of the former's charity.
The South Korean film "Burning", which was shortlisted in Cannes last year, also discussed the issue of class differentiation. The sharpness is more than that of this film, but it is the turn of this year that this film is more commercial and full of genre elements. The film won awards. Korean filmmakers have always been good at reflecting real problems with mature genre film shooting methods. The film starring Song Kangho in the last film that aroused heated discussion among Chinese audiences is also such a typical Korean realism genre. It's a pity that the movie just became popular in China, and it quickly became like Voldemort. It can't be named casually. As a result, some bean friends went to the film page of the same name directed by Martin Scorsese to discuss the new 2017 film. To vent their anger. I personally dislike this behavior extremely, just as I dislike a certain rapper’s fan taking over the Magneto entry. At present, although "Parasite"'s satire on the upper class is very universal, it seems that it is not very offensive to the big people here, and should not experience the same fate as Song Kanghao's previous work. . But if the tragedy does happen again, I also hope that all fans can stay calm. Don’t just go to the pages of movies with similar names like "Parasite Beast" and "Venom" to "Landmark". That will not only attract other fans’ eyes, but also Provoked the characters in the film into a rage.
