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

It's not the kind of movie that has straight-up good guys and bad guys, just a bunch of incredibly flawed and human characters - I'm not even totally sure who exactly you mean by "bad guys" in this...

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

The letters are such a good summation of the film's critique, though - the father reveals that he is effectively stuck in a hopeless situation for the rest of his days and the son dreams up a rescue...

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

I figure he's already in panic mode over trying to get into the basement as quickly as possible and trying to take the son with him would only slow him down. Of course, he could also realise that it...

Because if it's already so much of a risk just to sneak up to the kitchen for food, it's presumably so much more of a risk to sneak out of the house to where more people could spot him (and who knows...

Some additional factors I noticed on rewatch:

1. This is all taking place the day after the rainstorm that flooded the Kims' apartment with sewage and they (presumably) wouldn't have been able to...

A fair point. I guess it has to do with Parasite starting off like a light caper comedy where the family pulls a charmingly clever heist that doesn't call for physical violence (and the introduction...

Like the man said, it's how the movie's about it. Parasite keeps its narrative focused on its key theme of class warfare and that informs every aspect so there's a similar consistency to the...

In short, yes. I would say that satire is a sub-genre of comedy that uses humour to make a greater point, but a satire need to strike the right balance between its point and its humour in order to be...

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

Regarding Scorsese, I think it's less about his own film getting a theatrical release and more about how the state of modern cinema doesn't allow for too many films like it to exist, especially when...
