Movie Review
Film- Parasite (2019)
Director- Bong Joon-ho
Genre- Thriller/ dark comedy
Parasite made Oscar history as the first ever foreign language winner of best picture. This film won four Oscars this year,and they were well-deserved. I have always been a fan of Korean drama and television serials. Earlier there was a cable TV channel KBS that showed amazing episode after episode of family oriented drama that kept me glued. Unfortunately, that channel was not aired after a couple of years. I am looking forward to watching more of Bong Joon-ho's films after this one.
Parasite is an amazing film about two families , one of Kim and another of Park that are placed on different ends of the socioeconomic ladder in society. This film is a reminder of the stark disparities that exist in society. It is a film of deception and lies, family bonding or/and lack of it.This film makes us realize that there are so many who are struggling to make ends meet while there are others who are living in the lap of luxury .
The film follows the escapades of Kim's family as it tries to make its way into the Park family to gain their trust and usurp their wealth gradually. They plan and many things go according to plan yet then comes the twist . The film keeps us on the edge of our seats. The flow of events amazes us and cannot be predicted at all. This suspense keeps us glued to the happenings. The film is fast paced and satirical and scary in a way.
The scenes are well portrayed and stay with us long after the movie. There is absolutely no flaw in the characterization or acting skills. Every character portrayed is natural and effortlessly portrayed. The locations are well selected and play an important role in giving an upper edge to the characters in question.The film is like a roller coaster ride that is scary and has no particular lane or track . It is eerie and rightly only for adult viewing. It is truly an enjoyable watch.
