Parasite
I don’t even know what to say right now. This movie blew me away, in every single way possible. 4x Oscar winning film, and it deserves it all. Great social commentary on the depiction of wealth & class. Probably the best written movie I’ve ever seen in my entire life. This film starts off as a comedy/drama and ends off as a deep and dark thriller. The premise of the movie was just top tier, with the poor family taking full advantage over a rich family, navigating their way through the rich families lives as servants for them. They’re basically parasites to the rich family as they scheme and manipulate there way to the upper class level—but everything ends up crumbling down…showcasing that there’s only so much you can do—but if you cross that line that’s where the problem occurs. There’s lots of talk in the film about not crossing the line, whereas the poor family do indeed cross that line to get money—but the consequences that come with that are insane.
The performances from every actor was flawless, the visuals were intricately crafted, and the music was hauntingly beautiful. Each frame truly felt like it had a purpose, so I do look forward to rewatching and catching small details and symbols I missed. The small horror elements thrown in the second half of the film was just fucken amazing. I’m not gonna lie, this movie shit scared me in multiple parts. All the twists and turns were mind blowing, making me never know what was going to happen next. Lots of anxiety inducing scenes and moments so intense. This film definitely deserves to be the first Oscar winner of best picture for a non English speaking film. I could ramble on and on about this movie—but I do believe this is a movie of our generation.
