This is Why Parasite Won Best Picture

2020 was definitely an upset when it came to the Best Picture winner. Parasite's win was something people hoped for but didn't see coming. Could this mean a change in the kind of films that win Oscars? Only time will really tell. At least it legitimized foreign films to a more mainstream filmgoing community.
Something to note in my video: I know that I say the clothes smell the same because of the pesticide gas. This could be true, but I also understand the idea that the Kims just smell "poor." Mr. Park holds his nose when getting the keys out from under Geun-se, but then again, Geun-se hasn't showered in like 4 years. However, the Parks don't complain about the smell of the other Kims, which leads me to believe that Ki-Taek just smells particularly bad. Da-Song seems to notice a more subtle smell in their clothes that can be attributed to the spray.
Also, Bong heavily foreshadows the use of the rock as a destructive device about midway through the film. I forgot to mention it in the video, so I'm mentioning it here.

Very simply one of the worst movies ever made. Anyone who pretends to have enjoyed watching this movie, and believe me we both know you're pretending, has what is referred to as bad taste. There is a big difference between having no taste and having bad taste, the latter being a far worse crime. Someone with no taste might really love a band like Nickelback; this person doesn't know their ass from a hole in the ground, but they couldn't care less, they're a moron, they know it, they don't know why or how, they know nothing about music, Nickelback is their band and they go with it... Now someone with bad taste is for arguments sake equally clueless, however they've garnered from some type of social cues what it is someone with actual taste, a genuinely perceptive individual who has been exposed to and recognized beauty throughout their lifespan, first naturally and then artistically, appreciates. A person with truly bad taste then tries to play the role of someone with actual taste. They mimic a person with taste. And they end up listening to bands like The Arcade Fire and The Black Keys, and post youtube comments about how Parasite was "my favorite movie of 2019."

You made no arguments about why you think the film is bad. All you talk about is "bad taste." That's not an argument, that's assertion. Then you use ad hominem attacks, insulting those that like it. That's what people do when they have no argument, they insult, much like Pelosi and Trump. Well done! Try coming up with reasons instead of assertions.

What I like about Parasite is that Bong doesnt ignore the ugly parts of being poor. He doesn't end the movie with the family being rich or happy, but with them miserable or dead or trapped. He understands that being poor isnt a problem you can fix by being clever or working hard, but something that hardly ever goes away despite your best efforts. I think a lot of movies have happy endings that draw attention away from the root problems that they are addressing, but Bong Joon Ho makes you face them head on and confront the ugliness in our society.

@@cmahoney9921 The ending is a fantasy. Bong purposefully included it to make the viewer hopeful that ki-woo could win in the end, but the last shot of him in his basement insinuates that it is all wishful thinking and that he will never be able to escape poverty. Also I think that the idea of a "plan" is sort of a reoccurring thing throughout the movie about how plans never work out the way we want them to. Ki-taek has a plan towards the end but of course that goes awry, so Bong has set up from the start that hopeful plans, especially ones that are working against forces like capitalism and systemic poverty, never go as intended. I love how he does that as a writer, always sets up stuff even as seemingly insignificant as that and builds them into a larger theme : )

Definitely lots of great symbolisms and metaphors! Another metaphor that gets washed away is the ramen/steak thing they have. So, I think when I watched it the subtitles simply said 'sirloin', but it's actually 한우 or Hanu, which is extremely high quality korean beef (I guess you can consider it the equivalent to a 30 day dry aged prime steak or wagyu beef). So, why is that detail important? Because the juxtaposition of this rich people food being mixed into ramen (which is super cheap) is another metaphor for the juxtaposition of the rich and poor.

The interesting thing about Burning is that I liked it but didn't find it on par with certain other Korean films (like Parasite or the Vengeance trilogy for example) But it haunted me. I kept thinking back to it again and again because it does leave you with so much frustrating but also exciting ambiguity that you keep returning to it to gain some kind of certainty but you'll never return to it being completely satisfied that you have genuinely "figured it out" And thus, it is in addition to commenting on class also somewhat realistic in depicting the human condition as one plagued by ambiguity and uncertainty

I’ve been a great fan of South Korean movies for a long time and I’m elated that SK cinema is finally getting the attention it deserves! Parasite is brilliant but it is by far not an isolated genius. There are several SK films that are as thought provoking, haunting, deep, and masterfully made as Parasite. The kind of movies that expand and consequently change your perspective on society, culture, the human condition, and class for the rest of your life. It’s a whole new viewing experience where the audience is assumed to be smart and analytical, therefore, the film will never insist upon you a certain perspective or emotion like many Hollywood films do but instead challenges the viewer to find meaning in the movie even if it takes several viewing to fully grasp its genius. This is why I’m so glad that Parasite won, not just for the sake of international cinema but for the sake of the mostly Hollywood focused viewer who is just waiting to have their minds blown. Here is my personal list of SK movie masterpieces that deserve more attention from international audiences... Oldboy, Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, Memories of Murder, The Wailing, Mother, Chaser, Yellow Sea, Burning.

The way they talk about SMELL and feelings in this movie is incredibly accurate to the experience of being there. A lot of Korean cinema focuses on despair and pain. Their style of drama is so depraved, it comes across as anti-social and inhuman quite often. The films of Park Chan-Wook often come to mind.

they were parasites because they literally could not exist without lower class labor. its mentioned, for example, that the wife could not keep up with housework and they would be in trouble if they couldnt find a housekeeper/maid fast. their existence is entirely dependent on the work of the lowerclass citizens they ignore/look down on, just as much as the kim family needed to be employed to make money

It's more of the fact that they benefit on the backs of the Kim's emotional and physical labour.

Again, I assume that the concept of the "smell" is actually not even a thing.

I don't think they actually smelled or were unclean, but Mr Parks assumes this because he knows that Mr Kim is poor, and the Parks would rather just ignore and shield themselves from the sadness and reality of poor people.

The moral of the story is that wealth does not matter but family does. As long as you have the latter but not the former you can be happy, if the reverse you will not be happy. And that you should avoid sin because it will lead to your downfall. Lust: relationship between the boy and his student makes him suffer delusions of grandeur. Greed: their obsessions with exploiting the family by replacing all their servants and their desire to obtain the mansion itself. Gluttony: eating all the food and drinking all the alcohol, that is not theirs, while the family is away. And their unwillingness to share the families wealth with the former made and her husband. Pride: thinking they are above criticism and negative comments even thought they are harsh truths. Wrath: wanting to inflict violence upon others for disrespect. Sloth does not apply as they do work and help the family with what they're hired for.

Captivating Analysis but disagree with interpretation that "deviation from loop of the rich becomes richer and the poor becomes poorer, will eventually level out" that's a complete foul way of thinking to adapt in this life if it is you consider yourself "poor" "Life is what you make of it" "Whether you believe it to be true or believe it not to be true, you are right -Henry Forde"

Who the hell thought best picture was going to JoJo Rabbit? Lol...it was always going to one of OUATIH, 1917 or Parasite.

@@dannydemonic4799 - The thing is its high rating, people talking about it as a "masterpiece" and all that. If there were none of those expectations, then I could possibly say "bit whacky, not a bad watch though". But I have to question this wave of insane adoration ahah.

Funny how media portrays Parasite's Oscar win as "stunning" whereas anyone who knows what a great film is knows it was a well-deserved victory. It's just that the Oscars are dumb and very American

It left me with the question, that who were actually the parasites? Who used whom? Who exploited and manipulated whom? And many more of such questions, a much needed film considering the current neo liberal economic and social structure and scenario

While I like Parasite, it would not have been my pick to win Best Picture. Of the films nominated, The Irishman was my favorite choice. I loved the story and enjoyed the character interactions the film had. I also love the works of Scorsese, which a lot of people do, so I’ll admit there’s bias on my part. Parasite just didn’t do a lot for me when I saw it. Maybe the hype was a little too big for me, but I thought the film was just alright. Nothing against Foreign Films, Akira Kurosawa was one of the best filmmakers of all time, but I think there were other foreign films more deserving of best picture in the past. Be it a Kurosawa film, Fellini film, Bergman film or any other fantastic film made by another incredible filmmaker. I’ve only seen Snowpiercer before Parasite, so I don’t know too much about Bong’s filmography, but I wasn’t blown away like so many other people were about Parasite. This is a good video though, and while I wish another film was up for a lot of awards instead of being shut out except for one Oscar, everyone’s thoughts on what should have won or should have been up for Best Picture will always be different.

Nebbialuna Bella I’ve watched it a few times already. Still don’t think it deserved it. Just my opinion of course. It’s a good film, but I just wasn’t blown away by it like so many people were. Again, that’s me, but if you enjoy it and think it deserved Best Picture then that’s great.
