Just noticed now that even at the beginning they were already trying to get someone (pizza guy) fired to steal the job

I am surprised that every one is ignoring about that silver medal for hammer throwing sport. The wife must be a former national athlete but now forgotten. So sad... During flooding scene, the husband picks nothing but his wife's medal first... Heart breaking.. 😣

Notice how Min enters the Kim family's home without knocking while they have to ring the Park family's doorbell, wait for someone to open the door, climb stairs, walk some more and then finally get inside their home through another door. I think Bong is trying to show us that rich people easily impose themselves on poor people while poor people have to go through a series of steps just to meet them.

(Min comes back to Korea after months of studying abroad) *Min:* “Damn it Ki-woo! All you had to do was tutor the damn girl”

8:24 Min is lowkey looking down on Kiwoo, he implies his university friends may impress the girl but Kiwoo is 'safe', because he is from the lower class

My god all the comments here are analyses. If we compiled them we could write a whole commentary!

3:16 The moment the pizza lady says "so 1 out of 4 are rejects" is instantly followed with camera revealing the whole family of four humbly listening, so it could mean that not only the boxes are faulty, but one of the family members is. EDIT: ...which is obviously the father who rushed his way through it! Look how he turns his head around in shame. Very subtle and accurate

The scene that the father endures smoke and keeps folding the box, makes me feel sad... He tried but it doesn’t matter in the end....

1:15 That silver medal and the picture shows that although Mrs.Kim once was an excellent sports player, she couldn't win the gold medal. And so she ended up falling out from her 'planned' life.(It happens in S.Korea because everywhere people competes, the winner takes, the loser disappears.) If she had won the gold medal, her 'plan A' might be building her career as a player and becoming a coach and more, but she faced an unplanned failure and nothing was left. So she might have chosen to marry somebody as a 'plan B', but it also fails, now she asks her husband, "So what's your plan?" Everyone has their own life plans. But only the winner can live as planned. So this film starts telling about all the losers under the only one winner.

Beer at 5:55 is the cheapest beer in Korea. As the movie goes on, family drink more expensive beer. Those who watched the movie will get the point. I think this is one of examples of 'Bongtail'.

If you guys notice, the pizza lady who talked to them is also a build-up detail in this movie. In South Korea, if you are talk to stranger or someone who is not related to you in any way possible, you have to used jondaemal a.k.a formality. But if you talked to stranger using banmal a.k.a informality that means you look lowly to them. In this dialogue, she used a mix of banmal and jondaemal which means she looks at them underestimately.

Min gave them a rock,and the mother said "Food would've been better".Im pretty sure that has sth to do with that later in the movie,the sister was blocked of bringing food to the underground man and after that Ki woo brings the rock to him,resulting the massacre

This is painful to watch.... BECAUSE NOW I JUST WANT TO SEE THE WHOLE MOVIE AGAIN AHHH WHAT A TEASE

I am still surprised this film didn't win Best Editing too. You don't even realise there is a one shot or zoom happening...the editing is *that* smooth. You just flow with the movie.

6:40 Min (ex-tutor), the rich friend of Kim Ki-woo (son of poor family) mentions his grandfather started collecting the scholar's rocks since his cadet days. The key term here is "cadet days". The more complete translation would be: "My grandfather started collecting the scholar's rocks since his time as a cadet (or student) in the Korea Military Academy (of South Korea)." The translation in the movie is great, but there is only so much you can cram into short lines of text. KMA is South Korea's version of West Point of US. Doing a quick math shows Min's grandfather in this story would've been a student in KMA in the 1950s, probably right after the end of Korean War in 1953. If you were able to gain admission into KMA around 1950s, you basically got the ticket to a life of the upper middle class and/or the elite. As long as you didn't screw up majorly, you really made it. In the 1950s, S. Koreans either lived life of subsistence farmer (vast majority) or merchant (very few) or government official (very few). If one gained admission into KMA around that time, you basically got on the fast track in life. It was a great honor and difficult to get into KMA around that time, as in any society that just experienced a major war AND not much option of career available for young people. Min subtly dropping here that his grandfather went to KMA is basically Min flexing. And the Kim family doesn't really mind because they know what KMA signifies.

Possible spoiler ahead, but the fact that Ki-taek actually tries to optimize his box-folding and then fails really reflects how, later on the movie, he advises Ki-woo to plan nothing ahead since things will never go as expected .

When it comes to the Oscars... sure The Irishman, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood & Joker are popular films with the mainstream media, but truth be told PARASITE is the film most people are talking about on the street, internet, work, school & at home. This film should win BOTH the Foreign Language Film & Best Motion Picture awards this year !

So this entire movie stared because of this Min dude lmao

This film is nominated six and won 4 awards sweep at Oscar. Immensely deserving. Hope more films and arts by Director Bong in the future.

I love this detail. At 9:00 Ki woo asks if he has to pretend to be a college student AND Immediately a bus passes THEM.. INDICATING THE SHIFT IN THE CHARACTER. You can see it as he pauses..

Best Actor should've gone to that stinkbug. Sacrificed itself for the movie.

Absolutely wonderful movie, dont let subtitles stop you from watching this!!!

The dad told his son in the gym it's better to not have plans, because when you plan something it never works out. His son made a plan at the end to purchase the house. The house will never get purchased by the son.

I love it when ki woo ask "but do I have to pretend to be a college student?" a car flashes behind and moving really fast in such a small road. I don't know how to put it into words but I'm sure it's interpreted ki-woo's thought.

my favorite thing in this movie is there’s a lot of metaphors, inside story, cultural story, and one scene is linking up to another bigger scene and we didnt even notice that. bong joon ho did a really good job in detail🙏🏻

This a movie that is going to be remembered for a long time.....It should win Best Picture

I can’t believe this hasn’t been released in the UK yet.

4:22 I love the way the family subtly corner her to further pressure her to give Ki-Woo a chance for a job interview. From the very first time I watched it, it reminded me of a somewhat similar scene in The Godfather. Little nuances like this is exactly why Bong Joon-Ho deserved to win Best Director ahead of everyone else. Fucking brilliant.

Wait wait wait, did they change KakaoTalk to WhatsApp in the subtitles lol

"Food would be better" *PERIOD*

Who ever put *the cast* together did a dam good job. To me, this movie may have had a different outcome without these particular actors🎬👏💯

I noticed that the “friend” only showed a picture of the rich girl to the poor fella only after he admitted that his sister couldn’t afford lessons thus sealing the deal for his friend to pick him to teach the rich girl English. Poor guy admitted how poor his family was, so he was not a threat.

Noticed throughout the movie that when characters went to lowerclass areas, it was always down, and away from the light (like the very first shot, they are "underground" and he is facing away from the light). Anytime characters move towards a more upperclass/wealthy area, they head upwards, and towards a light source. Found that fascinating.

also.. notice how the toilet bowl is placed higher than them? yeap.

Well at 6:40, I’m partly agreed with some other comments that Min did brag about how wealthy his grandpa is, e.g. that his grandpa got to study in an elite institution and possesses plenty of rare stones in his collection. The fact that this stone will symbolically bring the prosperity also show his pity for his his friend’s (Kiwoo’s) poor family. However, in my opinion, Min might not “intentionally” want to offend his best friend or anything. Ones can see from his smile after Kiwoo’s metaphorical sentence how he’s happy knowing Kiwoo liked his present. Even though Min’s explanation sounded insulting to Kiwoo, he still understood that Min gave him the stone out of good wills. So he tried to change the subject patiently by saying ‘Min! This is so metaphorical’ without resentful expressions. I conclude that Min considered Kiwoo as his real best friend. If not he wouldn’t step into Kiwoo’s house freely or introduce Kiwoo to his grandpa. Whether he really looked down on Kiwoo is unclear, as not much information are given. (The drinking scene can be interpreted differently) But for Kiwoo, it’s poverty that makes him feel like he has much lower status in their relationship or Min may get along with him only out of pity. PS Pardon my poor English as it’s not my mother tongue 😭

GUYS. this is truly a masterpiece. BJH left so many easter eggs in the first ten minutes. Although the plot is simple, the way the movie is made has SO many layers. It really makes you think. WOW. just a masterpiece

1:16 I just realized that the mom was an athlete

I find it interesting that the video censors the captions when the characters curse, but not the dialogue itself

Son and Especially Daughter acting in this movie is awesome..

Reading the comments, this movie has A LOT more stuff behind the scenes than I originally thought.

A kdrama stan definitely saw everyone in this movie in different drama. I almost screamed when i saw park seo joon entering (i had no idea he was in it).

The way the whole family looks at the dad when the boss says 'one out of 4 is a reject' is heartbreaking.

idk if anyone already pointed this out but south korea got the best internet connection in the world and for free! the fact they even struggled to get connection speak so much of their situation 😭

This movie hits me so many times with "No matter how hard you tried if in the end you fail, your hard work doesn't matter even though you know in the process that you sweat blood just to get what you want but you still do not get it." saying.

Exactly halfway through the film, the twist occurs, which is wild enough. But realizing that Ki-Woo accepts the offer exactly 10 minutes in? This screenplay is structurally breaking my brain over here.

Damn not even 10 minutes and I'm already hooked

Interesting how right in the beginning there’s an extermination scene at the poor family’s house as if to foreshadow the parasites’s extermination later in the movie

ive watched parasite twice already maybe 3 times idk.. but just watching this video i feel so engrossed as if its my first viewing, signs of a great movie!

I am so happy after Oscars. Parasite deserved every single award they got. Shame that this movie got overlooked in acting categories, especially Park So-dam, she was phenomenal. Congratulations!

1. The real estate agent takes pictures of flowers blooming in the place where the body is buried. It's beautiful on the outside, but people don't know what's underneath it. Like you don't know who's in the basement. 2. Ki-jung goes down to the basement with some food but ki-woo goes down to the basement with a stone. Parasites are more likely to survive if there are fewer competing objects. Ki-jung tried to coexist with other parasites(but Ki-woo tried to kill them) Such coexistence is a threat to the survival of the parasite and eventually ki-jung died. 3. The toilet at the very low end of the rich house works better than the one at the top of the poor house. The basement of the rich is better than the house of the poor. 4. Kitaek has experience driving a taxi. In a Korean movie called Taxi Driver, Song Kang-ho is a taxi driver. 5. the lines (When the maid wakes the rich lady up, she crosses the glass line. Waiting for mr. Park, ki-taek does not cross the glass line. When Kiwoo rolls a water bottle on the floor and gives it to Kijeong, the water bottle crosses the line. Kiwoo's feet lying on the grass cross the glass line.) 6. The high-quality toy tent doesn't leak, while poor homes are flooded. (the movie says the tent is made in US) 7. the worms and bugs. Ki-taek's family climb up the stairs with their two hands and feets like animals. They crawl out of the table like bugs. They have fun all night and hide like cockroaches when the rich family comes. 8. Is the plum tea made by the housekeeper just tea? Possibility that the rich wife drank it and fell asleep very deeply. The maid could have put something in a plum tea to secure time to feed her husband. Or there could have been alcohol in it. There is a scene. the man in the basement drinks it before he kills a person. 9. The rich family hung Dasong's painting of the man in the basement on the wall. The housekeeper's husband hang a picture of mr. Park in the basement and worships him. There is awe in the sight of the poor looking at the rich. Even though the rich give them nothing, they worship in the hope of something. On the other hand, the rich don't look directly at the poor as if they were just looking at art without reality. 10. In Dasongi's painting, the black part is the basement, and the arrow above it is a sign that something rises.

All hail this "glorious wifi". 🤣🤣🤣🤣

i wonder if at 3:16 when the pizza lady says “1 out of 4 are rejects (not qualifying to be sold)” is also a referral to one member of the family being a reject or unqualified (maybe to be part of the poor ? part of the rich ?) since there are four family members

It won Best Picture!!! A damn well deserved win.

06:00 best sence , dirty foot

Who else is here after the Oscars Update: Just went to see it. The movie is amazing in so many ways. It leaves you thinking for hours after it’s finished. So true and direct without loosing grace 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽

This film was all around perfect, like literally. It claimed best picture and won the Palme d’Or, one of two movies to do so.

The greatest movie ever made! I'm still thinking about it today. Wow just wow.

I m telling u this is the one of the best movies I’ve ever watched, it’s very good.

Fun fact: Min and Ki-Woo are actually good friends in real life, just wanted to point that 😂

When you love love park so dam soo much ....and she finally came back with super duper hit....❤️❤️❤️

The highest point in there house is their toilet. Damn Dude

Woah they changed that title to best picture winner, fast

A perfect film. Possible the best film that came out in the last ten years

I can totally relate this movie. Being poor is a far worse curse than any other thing. You watch people around you living a different lifestyle. It seems that they are on some different planet where the suffreings does not exist. But here is the catch , put you head down , work , toil hard eventually success willl come. It will take some time but it will come.

I'm just relying on the subs but basing on the dialogue, i feel like Min was feeding his ego from the fact that there was a family like his friend's far below his own. At 8:16 Kiwoo: *"Why ask a loser like me?"* Min: *"Why do you think?"* (Normally at this point a healthy friend would spew motivational words but then instead Min's answer was) *"Just the thought makes me sick"* *"Those disgusting frat boys slavering over Da-hye? It's revolting"* Min didn't argue against Kiwoo's self-deprecation, calling himself a *Loser* instead he just continued on with his story. For him, Kiwoo is no contender for Dahye's interest. He appears to be genial, and good-natured but was that all there is to him? Think about the stone he brought, if he really mean well and was sincerely thinking then why not food, indeed? Why stone. Food = Warm Stone = Cold This is just my interpretation of the dialogue shared. But for me, it's either he's a genuine friend or another guy befriending someone supposedly 'beneath' him to feel good about himself. He could be as fake as his stone.

1:24 thats exactly how parasite's walks

The first time we see the Kim parents, the mother is sitting on the floor and the father lying on the floor (they can't sink any lower)... I love the way she kicks her husband, it seems affectionate and typical of the way that family interacts...

I could watch this movie a million times and I will still enjoy it like the first time

This movie is everything and more

This stone is so metaphorical.All the rich people's gifts in the world shy away instantly.And also the lady kill it when she said food had been better for poor people than a gift.😂

I love reading the comments since I feel that gives me a better understanding of the movie

Totally deserved every award it’s gotten, including Best Picture Oscar!!!!!!!! I love this film, even though it has violence, it is very affecting. It’s a very powerful film, in a weird twisted sort of storytelling......

He still uses a LG G4 in 2019 !!!!!😍

What a terrific movie!

Min represents a morally ambiguous character. The father praises Min when he stands up to the drunk man for urinating in public, yet he's the type of guy who's comfortable bending the rules in his favor, recommending his friend to fake his resume, and eyeing a High Schooler who is not of legal age which is not normal in Korean society.

parasite came out digital before it came to the cinemas in Norway, wow

This Movie should be the Creme de la Creme of all movies. From the opening scene until the last, every scene serves it purpose.Wow!!!

i never noticed just how much foreshadowing is in the first 10 minutes of this god tier movie. the first lines spoken are 'we're screwed,' implying from the start that the family had no future, and that there was never any hope for anything good to happen out of the job opportunities. then the wife asking the dad 'what's your plan?' a direct refrence the gym scene where the son asks his dad what his plan was. the dad saying 'for wifi, hold it high' implying that technological advances and connection to the world can only be accessed higher up than where they are, in a higher class, or even physically higher than their house, which is below ground, and the rich family's house, which is on a hill. theres so many more. every single line in this movie has a purpose. i have literally never seen a more beautifully written movie. it's genius and brilliant. such a well deserved best picture :D

I am not in high school right now but I am excited to see this movie being analyzed in an English or Film class. We analyzed Tim Burton's films in Grade 11 and it was fun for me. There were a lot of reactions and the deeper I dig, the more fun I have. I hope that I can go back to that time and have this film in our class.

This is great. I missed the first 10 mins. when I went to see it. Thx

wow.no wonder the movie won.So much aesthetics for 10 minutes.Solid narrative structures and strong character.

I have been dying to see this movie and this was awesome just to see these 10 minutes!

17/9000 people from the academy refused to see this film because they don’t like to read subtitles ( I don’t understand what’s so wrong about subtitles) and plus this one of best of the decade and for me 2nd best of the year (if you’re wondering my first and third my third is the lighthouse and and my first is uncut gems and marriage story yes it’s a tie)

that was a fast title change

The comment box of this video made me realise that I have watched nothing in this movie.

Liked Choi wook shik when I watched him in Fated to Love you with Jang Hyuk. he was still very young then. heard he is Canadian Korean. I'm happy his career has zoomed up he deserves it. He resembles my son that's why he became my favourite from back then.

it's amazing how real this looks

Same guy who made snowpiercer woooow amazing

Climbing into the toilet to get free WiFi is hilariously ironic. My favourite scene. I hope one day to see Bong Joon-ho team up with Quentin Tarantino

I would like to see more great drama collaborated with so dam park in English Disney films

Congrats Choi Woo Shik from Rooftop Prince up to Train to Busan i become ur # one fanatic.. Your acting is so cool and always fantastic so natural.. Goodluck ang congrats..

I cracked up about the dad wanting the windows open letting in the fumigation fumes in and everyone starts coughing. Funny stuff.

One of the best movie of a decade

God I want to watch the movie again.

when flood comes and their toilet overflow🤦🏻‍♀️Im done😂 What a good movie

In the script, it said the opening scene has a strangely upbeat music. This is probably because in the beginning the Kim family, although poor, were still all together as a family before being ripped apart literally by their ambition and desire to become rich, which costed them everything.

Nice movie

Una gran crítica social a un mundo tan globalizado pero a la vez totalmente desigual... Aplausos de mi parte una masterpiece 👏

I feel like one of these folks. I'm a retiree with a shit pension and now I'm going to call a few local theaters to see which one has the cheapest week day senior's matinee. If it's STILL more than eleven dollars, I'll just have to wait for Netflix. After winning Best Picture, that will take forever!

That friend is so nice. I need a friend like that xD
