Parasite
The INTELLIGENCE of this movie is immense! May not be my cup of tea, as I enjoy fantasy movies but I could be rewatching it all the time! I've already seen it 6 times and it never fails to make my skin crawl. The Kims are really fun to watch as they make their way one by one into the Parks' house. As humoristic as it portrays some things, so it shows how dystopic society is. It throws you into a poor man's reality, only to lift you up again into the illusions of the rich. To me it's a film that makes me want to revolt against inequality. Aaaandd at the same time it makes me gross. I say this after looking at how dishonestly the Kims try to make their way up the social ladder. And then again I think about how rich people do exactly that same thing and it blows my mind. My trust and love for humanity is being put to the test so much. For a few moments I think about how unpleasant being a human is. We make bad decisions at times, we become insufferable, we deceive others but... at the end of the day we are not really that bad. We just follow a very old and primitive structure that doesn't allow us to be a peaceful species. The environment we grow up influences us to follow this structure. But then again, maybe that's how we are. Complex. Gray, (or even colored) and NOT black or white. Maybe we waver towards evilness as much as we waver towards integrity. This film made me think A LOT. And to me this is what an excellent film does. It makes your brain run and your heart fly.
