"Parasite" is no better than "Big Buddha Plath"

I can't laugh at the big Buddha at all. That kind of suffering, without a bit of color or light, striving for a little bit of happiness, but even the last bit of happiness is deprived. Even self-rescue is very difficult. When encountering a pitiful friend with the same disease, with all his strength, he can only give a less indifferent look.

Perhaps this is fate, but who is it and why is it "I" to bear such fate?

In contrast, "Parasite" is just a bottom layer after "commercialization". Yes, the details reflect the cruelty and coldness of society, and remind us that we are not connected with each other, but they are just these superficial truths that everyone can say casually. It's an accidental story, just a story. Perhaps it is precisely because there is no real sense of reality that everyone does not lose that sense of security and can still talk about it after appreciation.

"For them, whether it's the sun or the rain, they will have difficulties, but they can't think about the difficulties of life, because there are endless difficulties in life alone. The society often talks about fairness and justice, but they In life, there should be no such four words. After all, just holding a job is weak, and there is no strength to talk about the things that are not."

This is the truth.

    Good-looking good-looking good-looking! It's really not a spoiler, the two reversals are too exciting. A more genre and extreme "Burning".

    In one year, the flood in South Korea was also very big! The class gap is almost a common proposition of major Korean directors in recent years. Taking over the gloomy and sad burning, the parasite is more dark irony and direct, and most of the jokes also hide endless sadness. In addition, some detail turning points are slightly flawed.

Parasite quotes

  • [repeated line]

    Geun-se: Respect!

  • 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!
