Parasite 📺

One of the most notable achievements of the film "Parasite" is its depiction of class struggle, by juxtaposing the luxurious life of the Park family with the miserable living conditions of the Kim family, Bong reveals the harsh reality of the economic gap. Through precise cinematic designs, the gap between the two worlds is clear and stark, represented in the visual metaphor of the gap between the rich and the poor. Furthermore, "Parasite" challenges traditional concepts of morality and righteousness. As the Kim family embarks on their elaborate scheme, they must confront their moral boundaries. They are willing to escape poverty, and in doing so, Bong blurs the lines between hero and villain, forcing viewers to reassess their allegiances and confront their own biases. The morally ambiguous characters in the film serve as a mirror to the complexity of human nature, reminding us that desperation can drive even the most virtuous individuals to commit acts of deceit and betrayal. The concept of parasitism (the film's title) is the idea that one entity thrives at the expense of another. Throughout the film, we witness various forms of parasitism at work, whether it be the Kim family's infiltration into the Park's home or the exploitation of labor by the wealthy elite. Bong skillfully reveals the cyclical nature of parasitism in all areas of vital life, emphasizing how quickly the oppressed can become the oppressors in a society filled with disparity.
