I think it may be because I&#8217;m now more used to stories that switch genres at the drop of a hat. I don&#8217;t know if this is the result of this movie pulling it off so effectively, and now other films are more comfortable skirting the lanes, or perhaps it&#8217;s something I&#8217;m picking up on more more since watching it, but I now find this to be a strong-suit of the film.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In fact, I like that it makes the story indefinable.

We follow the Kim family, who are poor, but not dirt poor. This is important since it enables the son, Kim Ki-woo (played by Choi Woo-shik) to at least appear like he could be an English tutor to the rich Park family.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">And, this is how he&#8217;s able to convince the Parks to hire the rest of his family in various positions. At first, the poorer Kim family has a sort of disdain for the richer Park family, but then they learn that they are, in fact, just people, much like themselves, but more well off.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">At the same, we see that there are degrees to class, and that the Kim family view those who are even poorer than them with disdain, so the film does an excellent job of showcasing that it&#8217;s never as simple as just \u201crich vs. poor,\u201d which a lot of films focus on. Instead, it shows that there are levels within classes, even when it comes to poverty itself, and <em>Parasite<\/em> provides excellent, intelligent commentary on the subject.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"The workers in Squid Game.\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/.fa0WJczI1FtrINGiyX__g--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTU0MDtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/cinemablend_388\/ea06dc31e41a07b9a9811273d75de785\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p>Credit: Netflix<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">I&#8217;ve Also Now Seen More Korean Entertainment Since I First Watched It<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">I&#8217;m a little embarrassed to admit this, but <em>Parasite<\/em> was the first Korean film I&#8217;ve ever seen in my entire life.

Because I\u2019ve now seen how Korean entertainment often plays fast and loose when it comes to genres.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">For example, 2022&#8217;s <em>Decision to Leave<\/em> at times feels like a romantic film, and at other times it feels quite scary. It&#8217;s marketed as a neo-noir romantic mystery, and that&#8217;s about right, but tonally, it&#8217;s really hard to say that it&#8217;s any one specific thing, and I appreciate that about <em>Parasite<\/em> now as well, whereas I definitely didn&#8217;t as much when I first watched it.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"Park So-dam talking to Choi Woo-shik in Parasite\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/TYxV5h.xinf0HSJlB.ip.Q--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTU0MDtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/cinemablend_388\/f5f7ed275766f61837aa59aabe796ecd\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p>Credit: CJ Entertainment<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">In The End, Everybody Is Right. Parasite Is One Of The Greatest Movies Ever Made<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">I don&#8217;t want you to think that I didn&#8217;t love <em>Parasite<\/em> the first time that I saw it. I did. I definitely did. I found it to be unlike any other film I&#8217;d ever seen. But, upon a rewatch, I think I finally understand why people love it SO much.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">It&#8217;s a distinctly Korean story, but it fully speaks to the human experience of imagining people from different social standings to be alien, and maybe even evil. It\u2019s really funny, but also dark in a way that touches upon a lot of uncomfortable themes, such as the power of jealousy and self-preservation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">It&#8217;s distinctly a movie, but almost feels literary at times. In every way, <em>Parasite<\/em> is a special movie, and I have no problem saying it&#8217;s just as good as <em>The Godfather<\/em>, <em>Tokyo Story<\/em>, <em>The Seventh Seal<\/em>, or any other film often known as being brilliant. It is a true and utter masterpiece.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">What do you think? Have you rewatched <em>Parasite<\/em> lately? I&#8217;d love to hear your thoughts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission.
