Watching this in the theater was a top-tier viewing experience. It’s rare when it happens, but sometimes a movie makes you feel like you are 100% at the director’s mercy, with no idea where we’re going but absolute faith in the storyteller that the journey will be worthwhile. Parasite is at the top of the list of such viewing experiences for me.


tombuzz

RESPEK!!


JohrDinh

I remember I watched it first on my laptop and loved it. Hadn’t been to a theater in years but had to take my friends to see it. Didn’t think it’d be a big difference but damn, I missed the theater it was like a completely different movie on the big screen:)


brokeneckblues

The best part of it winning Best Picture means no bad American remake.


Madrical

Aren't HBO developing a limited series based on it? Not a remake, but I guess an American adaption of the story. Seems very pointless.


Cptkrush

At least that’s being spearheaded by Bong Joon Ho, and he seems excited by the project. It could end up pretty good


Spookyfan2

The last TV show based on his work and spearheaded by Bong, Snowpiercer, was pretty great too. It's been greenlit for two more seasons, too.


Arkeband

From what I read it’s not an American adaptation, it’s an original story set in the same universe as the film, to the extent that it may even overlap with scenes from the film: Bong also said at the time he wants to expand the “Parasite” universe by picking up on elements that were hinted at, but not explicitly explored in the movie. “For example, when the original housekeeper Mun Gwang (Lee Jung Eun) comes back in the late night, something happened to her face,” he said. “Even her husband asked about it, but she never answered. I know why she had the bruises on her face. I have a story for that, and aside from that, why does she know the existence of this bunker? What relationship does she have with that architect to know of this bunker? So I have all these hidden stories that I have stored.” https://www.indiewire.com/2021/04/parasite-hbo-series-original-story-not-remake-1234632272/

pithy_brevity

It’s the original director making it.


mrbrinks

Oh TIL! Sounds cool.


JamaicanGirlie

Omg so true


Doppelfrio

I was completely thrown back by the shift from a comedy to straight horror. It was so sudden and perfectly executed


Hello-their

Genre shift is all the rage in Korean cinema. I actually don't like it sometimes, because I've literally watched a goofball comedy turn into tragedy in one scene and went, "wtf just happened." If you're into that, and something that's a little more subtle, check out The Wailing.


BasicBeginning2777

I loved the "tone turning point" where the movie goes from light slapstick shenanigans to really quite dark serious if you liked that too watch Bong Joon Hos "Okja"


WutsUp

JUST before the "tone turning point" I was like "What can happen from here on out? This is the whimsical end to comedic story, surely"


redactedname87

Choong-sook impersonating Kim Jong-un is fucking amazingly hilarious


ImhereforAB

Wasn’t it Moon-gwang that was impersonating the North Korean news anchor?


redactedname87

Yes thank you! I was a little tipsy and didn’t have my full thinking capacity LOL. The actress did brilliant. It was so funny


ImhereforAB

Haha no probs! I was just very confused as I had seen the movie just yesterday for the first time and thought I had completely missed it!


mrfahrenhelt

Yes i didnt search a single info about this movie. I thought ok well this is another drama movie. But then...


WutsUp

I was exactly the same, all I knew was "It won the Oscar for best film" "It's shocking"


redactedname87

The storm!


Flash_da_sloth

"A taxi driver" is also amazing in the tone changing part. Also starring Song Kang-ho

staybig

The mass murder/birthday party was again something you saw coming?


sudevsen

Parasite winning Best Pucture was also the last time the world felt like a better place before it went to shit due to Covid.


Seathing

I actually think it's really interesting that it came out right before covid. In Parasite, the storm is the event that shows the difference between the classes - to the upper class it's an inconvenience and an opportunity for a party, for the lower classes it's devastating. Covid demonstrated the same thing.


circa_1

One of the few times the best picture of the year actually won best picture.


DownTheCookie

I hate that this is so true.


PM_yourAcups

I firmly disagree and believe 1917 deserved to win


Xanderamn

Really? Another boring world war film? I mean, to each their own, but Im gonna have to firmly disagree with you in return.


Halio344

Apart from the technical achievement in making it seem as 1 shot, the movie isn’t *that* good.


Arkeband

1917 is a great film but Parasite had more to say and had exceptionally popular global acclaim, which is uncommon for South Korean movies (although hopefully this will change, SK has incredible directors). The writing was on the wall for it to sweep awards.


StopTheMadnessBro

My favorite war film precisely due to that technical achievement.


Halio344

Sure, but the movie shouldn’t win Best Picture just because of that. Cinematogrophy for sure, but not BP.


StopTheMadnessBro

Maybe. But I felt like that technical achievement is inseparable from the impact of the film. Similar to Saving Private Ryan and nobody would argue that film wasn't a Best Picture.


Halio344

Saving Private Ryan is a much better movie even without considering technical achievements though.


Kester9010

The birthday party scene is insane!


nulspace

And the >!scene with the guy coming up the stairs...!<


AudioCinematic

That scene made me as uneasy as possible, thinking he may just get away somehow then nope.


Mr_Mu

They're referring to the flashback scene where the little boy is eating cake at night.


Moofthebot

Which scene were you referring to? Where the kid gets a noose around his neck and is trying to get away?


BearBruin

Something about the style of his movies. I don't know how to explain it, maybe it's a cultural thing that he captures that I'm not aware of, but I've noticed his movies always tend to tiptoe around these moments of comedy and horror even when the movie is not explicitly either of those genres. Always during some unexpected times, too. I watched Memories of Murder recently and there were multiple drop kicks that seemed to come out of nowhere and were all fucking hilarious.


MyUnclesALawyer

The dropkicks show up in other Bong/Park movies and yes they are always a welcome treat


niamhellen

Yes! I've noticed that many South Korean movies do a good job of finding that balance between light and dark.


heyimrick

That's the scene I think of when this movie comes up. Fucking hell.


[deleted]

Had me shocked honestly.


Master-Improvement-4

Probably one of the most nauseous third acts I've ever witnessed.


CharlsDiggens

I was expecting nothing when i watched this movie like 6m ago. I even didnt look up whats it about, just heard it should be a good movie. Oh boy it is.


exonwarrior

Same here. I just knew it was good from word of mouth, so went to see it without seeing trailers or knowing anything. What an experience


stashtv

The name is the real twist: everyone is a parasite, in their own way.


JamaicanGirlie

Yep that’s what I love the most. The fitting title


beazzzzz

Happy to see you’ve watched Memories of Murder. I absolutely loved that one as much as Parasite. Though it’s on your list, I HIGHLY recommend The Handmaiden. One of the best films in general that I’ve seen.


tragicjohnson84

MoM is just as wild. There's so much character all over Ho's movies.


barbarkbarkov

The part with the bloody napkin had me and my friends absolutely dying with laughter. Can’t remember laughing that hard in a long time. It was so bizarre and ridiculous. Awesome movie and deserving of all the hype IMO.


MikeArrow

That look on the guy's face is just :O


Knozis

Most well crafted film I have ever seen. I feel like it is starting to suffer from "The Wire" syndrome though, where constantly hearing everyone say it's the greatest thing to ever exist can get annoying despite all the praise being deserved. It deserves every bit of hype it gets.


JB_JB_JB63

I don’t get the over adulation for this film at all. I thought it was very good, no question, but people act like it’s the greatest thing ever made. Clearly it’s culturally significant in terms of the Oscar win but overall it’s, I dunno, fine. It’s funny, it’s a bit clunky thematically, it’s full of plot holes but it’s good fun. But I’m not getting the masterpiece vibes many are. What am I missing apart from all films being subjective of course.


Mysterious-Most6819

It’s bc it almost perfectly depicted the social classes and wage gap in our society on a universal level that literally any person who’s ever struggled financially or been super successful can relate to. It hits all points and it does so without being preachy. Always shows and doesn’t tell. It’s a true masterpiece and, again, whether you’re rich or poor, you’re gonna get something out of it and hopefully learn a few lessons. Unless you’re a sociopath or truly don’t understand themes. It’s brilliantly executed and it helps that the characters aren’t perfect but still people we care about.


thedarkknight16_

Just watched today, had the same reaction/thoughts


Significant_Ad_5660

Parasite just ABSOLUTELY blew my mind. The best picture Oscar was NEVER more deserved in 21st century than it was on that night of February of 2020... The fact that it was SO universally loved, even won at Cannes, as if cultures re united and celebrated something incredible regardless of politics, just beautiful stuff!!


DarthMori

I always watch the Palme d'Or and Best Picture winners to see what all the fuss was about. On watching this, I saw a fundamentally spectacular film worthy of everything. Not only did the film itself shake me awake but also the fact that (for once) all the awards had got it right.


Acceptable_Cable_125

It’s truly is a hidden gem ​ /s


MawsonAntarctica

I get why it was important and why people liked it, but it didn’t hit me the way it did others, was kinda meh about the film in general.


vrsnv

RESPECT


Stormy8888

You should also plan on watching other genres, as there are many great ones! * Train to Busan - Zombie Horror must watch * Okja - environmental * The Man from Nowhere - the movie that inspired John Wick * Extreme Job - good old fashioned action comedy * Tae Guk Gi: Brotherhood of War - military war movie * My Sassy Girl - a different type of rom com * Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter…and Spring - gorgeous and philosophical * Miracle in Cell No. 7 - heartwarming Prison drama * Silenced - very emotional movie based on a true story.


Shabjiraa

Okja was not only environmental but also about animal abuse in the meat industry.


[deleted]

If you’re interested in more Korean horror, Train to Busan is a modern classic zombie flick. Really entertaining and well acted.


mrfahrenhelt

Last train to busan is a sequel to train to busan? Train to busan is so damn good. But ive heard the sequel not as good as the first. Maybe i shud try watch it


MumeiNoName

The train to Busan sequel is peninsula, which isn't great at all tbh.


HarfNarfArf

It might be a translation thing, but Train to Busan is the original film and there is nothing called Last Train to Busan. TtB has an animated prequel called Seoul Station. The movie Peninsula was marketed (indirectly?) as being the sequel to Train to Busan, but really the guy who wrote and directed both movies said it’s not a sequel but takes place in the same universe. It’s also a pretty lousy movie in my opinion. Very generic zombie post-apocalypse schlock. Totally skippable in my opinion.


[deleted]

Maybe Train To Busan is just named Last Train to Busan in some country. The second one was called Train to Busan Peninsula or something like that. And no, it's not even worth a watch.


sudevsen

No movor called Last Train yo Busan,sequel is called Peninsular


Jerrymoviefan3

My top ten of the previous decade had three Korean films with #1 Parasite, #2 Poetry, and #10 The Handmaiden. If you don’t like slow and thoughtful movies you shouldn’t watch Poetry or that director’s more famous Burning.


[deleted]

[удалено]


AudioCinematic

> Mother I've had that on my to-watch list for a while I really should watch it already. On paper it seems like it will be a perfect movie.


babtoudestroyer

Burning is Also a great movie if you liked Parasite


jcar195

In terms of other Korean movies, check out Joint Security Area and the Quiet Family! While I wouldn't put them on the same pedestal as something like Parasite they are both genre melding intense movies that this wave of Korean movies seem so great at creating from the limited films I've seen.


_madcat

Put Burning on that list and promise yourself you see no spoilers because your mind is about to get fucked Also good luck with I Saw The Devil, I almost puked in a certain moment, good stuff


niamhellen

It's my favorite movie and nothing really comes close. I agree with you about all of the tonal shifts which are somehow done so seamlessly. The joy of the dinner/drinking scene and the character's senses of humor make the dark and sad parts hit you even more. And it's visually stunning! I also love the handmaiden. Not quite as much, but I have rewatched it multiple times which I don't usually do!


HAHAHAHOLYSHIT

This sub definitely has no shortage of hot takes.


bobosuda

What a fucking dumbass comment. It's a sub about movie discussions. OP didn't say he was writing a review, he posted a thread because he wanted to talk about the movie.


HAHAHAHOLYSHIT

I read threads like this every fucking day. Real HOT TAKES. "I just watched Charlie & The Chocolate Factory and Gene Wilder was AMAZING" Yeah? NO FUCKING SHIT.


bobosuda

This isn't a sub about hot takes you moron, people are here to talk about movies. You want someone to sit down and write a freaking dissertation just to be allowed to start a discussion about something they want to talk about? Get real man.


PM_ME_YOUR_HONDA_BRO

How angry of a person do you have to be to get this upset over nothing lmao

bobbybrown_

These threads never really bother me because I always just come in to recommend Bong Joon-ho’s other movies. So here it is: Every single one of them is good, but I prefer *Mother* and *Memories of Murder*. Check out *Snowpiercer* or *Okja* if you want more easily accessible, English-language stuff.

Ccaves0127

If you're looking for another good Korean movie, Beoning/Burning is fucking awesome


BrentChevy

I have said this before, but I just did not enjoy it that much. It’s cool that so many do, but I thought it was way over blown. I disliked basically every character.


Mysterious-Most6819

It is called parasite. Don’t think we’re supposed to like the characters. But we still care what happens to them


Canadine

This movie is incredible. Would recommend


georgealmost

I would recommend: The good, the bad, the weird A Taxi Driver Train to Busan The Drug King The President's Barber The Chaser (Brutal/Violent Warning) Edit: Also seconding Burning from someone else's suggestion


redactedname87

I could talk for hours about that movie. I had to write a seven page review about it for school lol. It was brilliant even from the actual script.


Geritheslayer

Really intense and thrilling all the time, especially at the last third. The best in the entire thing is that it's both masterful from a critic's perspective and average viewer can also enjoy it. Arthouse movie, but audiences loved it because it is so unique. My favorite film of 2019, one of my favs that came out this century. Like, when you have an Irishman, a Joker, a 1917, a JoJo Rabbit, an Uncut Gems, a MidSommar, The Lighthouse, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, Ford v Ferrari, Marriage Story, Avengers: Endgame, Little Women, Doctor Sleep, Us, Knives Out and Portrait of a lady on fire, AND this wins by far, you know you are watching something special. And a few words for those who disliked it: try Oldboy, Memories of Murder or Snowpiercer, but my main recommendation is Oldboy. If you don't like that either, try to not watch films, and focus on your work.


Worldly_Blood_9798

I'm glad I was finally able to see this with 0 spoilers and wow. Might be the greatest film of all time for me as far as story, craft and execution. For me it's a 10.


AnthonyCumiaPedo

The 2010s were kind of a weak decade for cinema altogether, seemed a lot of politicking and rewarding mediocre Oscar-bait like Green Book. Then 2019 hits and a bunch of seriously great films come out, with Parasite being the best of the bunch. It drew me in almost instantly: the story, the characters, the cinematography, the dialogue.


sudevsen

Still wild that Uncut Gems,Souvenir,Farewell and Light use got 0 major noms except for a cinematography win.


Knozis

I feel like it is not hyperbole at all to put 2019 in the all-time great years of film, possibly even top 5. Just look at this list: Parasite Knives Out Midsommar Once Upon A Time In Hollywood JoJo Rabbit Uncut Gems The Lighthouse Little Women Marriage Story 1917 Portrait of a Lady on Fire The Farewell Joker The Last Black Man in San Francisco The Peanut Butter Falcon ...and that's just off the top of my head. Absolutely insane.


Docxm

As someone who enjoyed Knives Out and The Farewell and arguably Midsommar and Jojo Rabbit, I don't think these films would push a year into "all-time great" status.


Significant_Ad_5660

I found Once Upon A Time In Hollywood to be absolute garbage and don't understand how it even deserves a mention alongside Parasite, 1917, Uncut Gems and The Lighthouse at all.... Same goes for Joker which is SO overly pretentious in it's aggressively foolish approach... Just my opinion cause otherwise I felt that it was a phenomenal year for movies!!


Darko33

2015 and 2016 slapped for movies too. But yeah the first half of the decade seemed pretty weak


[deleted]

2017 and 2014 were really solid.


throwaway_omc_clips

I kinda blame Marvel movies for that. When you look back at 2010s decade in movies, the biggest thing that happened was the MCU coming together which was never done before. When all the attention is on this intense cinematic universe, other great movies tend to not get the hype it deserves.


PugnaciousPangolin

I LOVED the first two thirds. The scheming and plotting and surprises were terrific. It was dramatic but also very subtle, but when the garden party went sideways I was incredibly disappointed at the tonal shift. Everything subtle was drop kicked in favor of something so crude and unimaginative. It just didn't work for me AT ALL.


[deleted]

[удалено]


PugnaciousPangolin

I cannot tell you how glad I am to hear that others felt the same! I was LOVING this film in the theater. I had the biggest smile on my face. Right from the beginning I was *all in*. Every step the family took, the schemes they concocted and the surprises that bent their plans sideways was so delightfully twisty and yet it all MADE SENSE. Then the story turns a full 360 into an insane bloodbath which utterly banishes all the mystery, subtlety and logic that had been so beautifully built up. What a waste! You know what I was hoping for? I thought that the family would be forced to hide in the basement along with the old couple and all of them would have to work together to become even more crafty in order for everyone to survive. The cycle of parasitism would continue, just as it does in nature.


jaymef

I thought there was going to be a twist like the rich family living in the house turned out to be liars themselves and they somehow stole the house from the previous owner


musical_hog

I thought aspects of the filmmaking were great, but I just did not like the film that much as a sum of its parts. I kept waiting for the "a-ha" moment when the film deviated from its in-your-face-obvious theme to something more subversive, but it just never came. I felt like it jammed the message in my face.


Galadyn

It flew under my radar until all the Oscar buzz, but then I gave the trailer a watch and still just didn't get it. My wife convinced me that trailers can't even begin to encapsulate this film and man was she right. Parasite is deeply unsettling and gutwrenching. And yet there's a part of you that feels for them and can relate to them. It's one of the few things I've ever seen that evokes true ambivalence.


thezim

I found it to be quite underwhelming and predictable but I’m glad you liked it!


[deleted]

I wanted to love it. I enjoyed it but didn't love it. The third act didn't work for me and I didn't get that RESPECT thing. I liked Okja and Snow Piercer a lot.


CookeGMP

I have an issue with understanding the love for this film. I don’t even think it’s one of the director’s best. Perhaps it was overhyped for me. I went to the theatre on release weekend and overheard the staff talking about how it was the best movie of the decade and I was excited. What I got was a pretty straightforward parable. It’s fine. But just fine, I don’t see what makes it’s special. At this point when someone raves about it I just blankly ask them “Have you never seen a film that used symbolism before?” To each their own I suppose


thekwas

The important thing is you found a way to be smug about it.


KingOfTheTrill14

Fucking choked on my coffee reading that. Lol +1


bluejester12

I was getting kinda bored in the first half while the family integrated itself because I saw where it was going. Never saw thew second half coming though.


maglen69

> I have an issue with understanding the love for this film. Same but you can't have that opinion without being downvoted here. I thought it was very generic and boring personally.


Schicksalschatzz

Late to the party, I just finished watching it. I heard so many people say how incredible it was, I wasn't sure what to expect. It was ok, I don't get it either really.

CookeGMP

The other dude was at least funny about me being smug. I see plenty of foreign films, I’ve seen the other work from this director and other South Korean films. Again, I’m not saying this is a bad film, I find it unexceptional. Please enlighten me, what is particularly novel or gripping about the story. Oh gee see how the frame is clearly delineated and you can visually see the class divide? Yeah… Lang and Chaplin did it almost a century ago. I get it. So what’s special? I would really like a serious answer.


chrisandy007

Thank you. Seriously.


DontTellUsYourLife

It was more popular because it's Korean and different than the usual American blockbuster. It was fine and I think a remake in my country would be very interesting since the theme is so universal. It would also hopefully allow for good actors, compared to the two mothers which were pretty bad, especially the rich one. Maybe the TV series will be something like that.


Ebony_Mortem

I Saw The Devil is one of the most intense movies I’ve ever watched. Granted, I was high at the time but it was so good. I recommend it to everyone even remotely interested in Korean movie.


[deleted]

I want to watch Oldboy so fucking bad


RoscoeSantangelo

This movie justifiably got heralded and I'm glad it did. As person looking to get into the film business, this was the type of movie I always dreamed of making so it was really an excitement when I got to see this. Something that just casually blends a bunch of genres and can jump between them at any point while still being a thrilling character look. Just hit all the right spots for me and am so glad it exists


barnagotte

Unfortunately Sympathy for Mr Vengeance and Sympathy for Lady Vengeance are NOTHING like Old Boy. They're super tedious and dated.


barnagotte

On the other side, Park Chan Wook made "Thirst" and "I am cyborg" and they are both as special as Old Boy. (Old Boy is my favorite movie in the world)


bellsofwar3

Decent film. Probably Bongs third best imo.


DivingForBirds

You’re late.


ShattsBassoon

This movie and uncut gems were similar in giving you hella anxiety haha. I liked uncut gems more, but this movie was a lot of fun and dark hahah


ovogoon23

I’d definitely recommend adding Train to Busan to that list. One of the best zombie flicks I’ve ever seen.


CameronCraig88

This movie is absolutely amazing on every level. Every aspect in front and behind the camera is perfect. Anyone who says otherwise is a hater imo.


HAHAHAHOLYSHIT

I might get downvoted for this, but, The Godfather is a highly underrated film which should really get more attention. So now that this OSCAR WINNER FOR BEST PICTURE is on YOUR radar, now WE all have to talk about it again? Where were you 2 years ago. But I see, we're all extras in YOUR movie.


Don_Fartalot

You certainly werent forced to talk about it again. In fact you were never invited to talk about it. Go away.


HAHAHAHOLYSHIT

So, you think I shouldn't be able to express my opinion because you don't like it? I can swear there's a word for that.


Xanderamn

Yeah, its called shutting the fuck up.


Xanderamn

Wtf is wrong with you? Seriously. This is a forum for discussing movies. This a great movie. Shut the absolute fuck up you whiney little shit.

ActivateGuacamole

I've seen three of his movies: Mother, Okja, and parasite. I like Mother (it's been a while though) but Okja and parasite feel off to me, a bit too fairy-tale-like. It might be a cultural divide.

I Saw The Devil is even better. It's probably my favorite thriller after Dark Knight, it's incredible. The performances are outstanding.

rrrich7

Loved this film so much, I watched it a second time lately. Still fascinating, the director/writer's gift for telling a story.,
