Its brilliant middle section pivots on the best reveal since Get Out’s invocation of the “sunken place,” and Bong’s sociology is no less potent than Jordan Peele’s. In fact, a double bill of Parasite and Peele’s shadow-self psychodrama Us would be instructive, both in terms of their eerily similar approaches to a postmillennial zeitgeist in which class aspiration and rage have merged into one molten entity, and also to show how much more adept Bong is at merging comedy, terror, drama, symbolism, and a keen sense of cinematic history into a fully integrated package.

Good to see the praise for The Host. That's such an underrated movie in his filmography considering how brilliant the family dynamic in that movie is (very similar to Parasite actually too).just started watching bong’s movies in preparation and

even when you prepared for Asian film fukkery, it still catches you off guard 
but to me the switch halfway thru didn't even change the pace of the movie to me at all. Matter of fact, it was quite seamless and that ending 
Great film but a bit more on the nose about social ills than recent Korean films I've seen

it was iight. Should of stuck with the plan. Any of y'all letting randos in your crib in the middle of night in the middle of a storm?
One other thing. All four of these fools was making good money right? So why these clowns still slumming it up like they ain't got no money? There is no reason they should of been a victim of that flood.
And the old nikka had no reason to still be musty either
And why in the entire fukk did they want to go back down in the basement? Leave them nikkas be down there. They wasn't going no where.

How long did you think they were working for the Parks? 
Yeah they started making money but that doesn't mean they're going to have enough saved up to pack up and move into the suburbs in the same week breh. And since they were still living in the slums, yes the father still smelled like old radish ()
And the "rando" was the former housekeeper who CLEARLY knew the house better than they did and still had the Park family in her contacts....this was an entire plot point breh, they had no choice but to let her in
Speaking of, leaving the former housekeeper who is the only one in the house besides the lunatic husband who knew about the fallout shelter in the first place seems like a GREAT idea breh :fohch:
