Re: What do you think of the movie Parasite (2019)?

Yeah, I don't think I grant that premise. Maybe it's just your friends? I would caution against questions that implicitly extrapolate tiny slivers of experience onto people in general.

That said,...

Re: What do you think of the movie Parasite (2019)?

I don't know, but I'm tempted to think that he made that decision (and the stuff about creating a series based on it) back when it looked like the film was peaking and unlikely to win anything major,...

Re: What do you think of the movie Parasite (2019)?

Not sure if you already asked about the "comedy" thing here? Or in another thread?

There's nothing "official" calling it a comedy, right? So you're just asking us to account for other people's...

Your question was why he doesn't just go into the house if he's near it anyway. The answer is that he's not near it anyway so it's not the same thing. Sure, they might think he's up to something, but...

Re: What do you think of the movie Parasite (2019)?

He doesn't "go up to the house" for the morse code. He specifically goes up on a hill far away so he can see the lights without being anywhere near the house.

I saw this about a week ago, yeah. Very good. I liked the first 30-40 minutes more than the rest of the film, the setup/build-up is fantastic. I agree it was weird that the film kept highlighting its...

The fact that he's a preexisting character definitely muddies things a bit, yeah, especially given the degree to which he's historically been depicted as valuing chaos for its own sake.

Yeah, it fits a lot of ideological bents, if you want it to, which is common with any remotely thoughtful movie since the only ones that aren't obvious are the ones that are overtly polemical. It...

Re: What do you think of the movie Parasite (2019)?

The fact that they have a lot of nominations. He either meant to post this in the other Parasite thread, or was just referencing the awards talk in general.
