2019 is a year of brilliant films from around the world and Parasite stands out for its brilliance in all quarters.
Review in simple words: It is intense, immersive, and has spectacular visuals.
Bong Joon Ho, the director of Okja and snowpiercer brings his mastery home to Korea in this pitch-black modern fairytale. The movie has English subtitles.
Meet the Park Family: the picture of aspirational wealth. And the Kim Family, rich in street smarts but not much else. Be it chance or fate, these two houses are brought together and the Kims sense a golden opportunity. M
Masterminded by college-aged Ki-woo, the Kim children expediently install themselves as tutor and art therapist, to the Parks. Soon, a symbiotic relationship forms between the two families. The Kims provide “indispensable” luxury services while the Parks obliviously bankroll their entire household.
When a parasitic interloper threatens the Kims’ newfound comfort, a savage, underhanded battle for dominance breaks out, threatening to destroy the fragile ecosystem between the Kims and the Parks.
The best sum up of our review about this film is :
A fabulously made film, that is dark, comical, hilarious, symbolic, poetical, honest, thought provoking, enlightening, elegant, crazy, romantic, and something you can connect to. If Okja is boon’s brilliance , parasite takes it to the next lever of movie making. With
Parasite Bong Joon finally hit the minds of movie goers immensely. The film is a genre in itself. Everything in the movie blended seamlessly into each other, the cast, the story and the role played by each of the character. We can say, it is one of the best of the year 2019 to watch in theaters.
Among the best one liners – Choi Woo Shik’s comedic timing when he says “Amazing” is impeccable.
Just awesome in every way. And, maybe an inspiration for Bollywood for a remake!!!!
And, It’s a movie nominated for 3 Oscars for Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Foreign Film
