(the following content contains spoilers)
The plot is not very complicated. Ki Woo, sister Ki Ting, and four parents live in a semi-basement in a slum area. President Park, his wife, and a pair of children live in a wealthy area. In the courtyard of the large villa.
Because Ji-woo’s friends are going to study abroad, so Ji-woo, who has been re-examed four times with the intention to enter a prestigious university, replaces him. Ji-woo is attracted by the luxurious life of the upper class and uses a series of opportunistic tricks. Everyone in the family went to work in the Pu’s house, but the ex-nanny who was driven away and his husband who was parasitic in the house discovered the secret...
I spent two hours watching this film,
The most memorable words are , the upper-class social class crosses the boundary and reverses the smell
1. The upper-class
is another translation of this movie, also called parasitic upper-class.
Ji Woo and his three relatives used rhetoric and various tricks to make his sister Ji Ting become the art teacher of President Park’s son, his father became President Park’s full-time driver, and his mother became the professional nanny of this family.
The success of these scams is inseparable from the upper-class trust chain. The hostess trusts the recommendation of familiar people, and the male host trusts the membership system. Only by reaching these upper-class standards that they understand can they enter their living quarters.
Ji Yu deliberately got this admission ticket because of a friend studying abroad, and it was easy to bring his relatives here. Ji Ting just casually memorized the art psychology on the search engine, but because it was called Illinois High-quality students can believe what they say. Because she was a member-based housekeeper, her mother Shun Shun Lee took over the job as a nanny.
is too one-sided to consider these plots from a realistic point of view, but if you only consider the characters as a symbolic method, it will become very reasonable. The introduction of acquaintances between upper-class society is a chain of trust, which can protect each other and prevent the poor from crossing the boundary and snatching The protection mechanism of interests.
, the upper-class society that the Jiyu family dreamed of reaching, they ended up just turning around in it, and they still played the role of the bottom.
Second, class
The rich lady is described as extremely innocent and kind, and the daughter of
, Duohui, is also an innocent girl who easily falls into a relationship with a tutor,
, and the upper class people do not always look annoyed, and they do not always look kind and gentle. Don’t worry about the daily rent, water and electricity, you can spend 250,000 won to buy a trash can that does not make any noise, and you have to invite a large group of friends to eat and drink on your birthday or even prepare surprises; Living in a dark and damp semi-basement, there are often drunks dangling at the door, which makes people full of disgust, but they have never resisted. Maybe I feel that I am not much different from them.
They don't have a good education background, so they can only make a living by folding boxes for pizzerias. Without wifi at home, they can only rely on the wifi of various neighbors and restaurants nearby to receive messages.
so his son Ki Woo failed to go to university four times, all because only by passing a prestigious school is it possible to break the shackles of this class,
, the four people living dimly in the dark nest, how longing for the upper class life.
film. Before the Kim family goes out, there will be a dark and narrow alley,
, and Ji-woo first arrives at President Park’s villa area, which is the bright and bright
way to the villa area. It goes upward, and the way home is downhill down the rain, which symbolizes the difference between the upper class and the lower class. The president of
and his family were happily preparing for his son’s birthday party, while the Kim family on the other side had to sleep in the stadium because the house was destroyed by the rain. Enjoy the life here in the same way as the president’s wife
"kind and rich"
may be the gentleness and compassion of the upper class in front of the lower-end social class, perhaps because of the natural position difference, the same thing, by These people always seem to be gentle and polite, but where they can’t see, the upper class is also doing nasty things, but no one notices it. They are exquisite egoists, only when they do no harm to themselves. Things will be gentle.
3. Cross-border
President Park often mentions the word cross-border,
's evaluation of Driver Kim as Ki-woo’s father is
, “He is often in a position where he is about to cross the boundary, but just stops at the boundary”
. What exactly is it?
As an employer, I can tell you the problems and troubles I have encountered, but you should not judge my life;
I invite you to work, but don’t bring negative emotions to my life, even on weekends, after all I pay For your expenses; the female teacher at
was stabbed by a tramp who suddenly rushed out. You should not help her but drive my fainted son to the hospital.
For the upper class like President Park, the boundary is that the hired person should do his job well, and don't try to inquire about the owner's living condition or even evaluate it.
In their hearts, these words are cross-border behaviors in an attempt to close the relationship and touch the self-protection mechanism of the upper class. The invisible boundary of
is not only in the minds of employers like President Park, but also in the hearts of Kiwoo's family. ---
When they are not working, the drunkard urinates and urinates at their door, they dare not come out to resist, because they feel that they are as unpleasant as these low-level figures, and after the family has a job, Ji Suddenly, Yu and his father had the courage to fight the drunkard. At this time, they felt that they were different from these low-level figures. These behaviors had violated the territory of Ji Yu's family and should be punished.
Four, reversal
The whole movie seems to be very tense, and these multiple reversal techniques have also increased the excitement of the whole movie.
At the beginning, Ji Woo’s friends introduced this job to him. They thought that many female students would never like this poor boy who didn’t even go to college, but the two fell in love unexpectedly;
President Park has many sons Song always has to do strange things without making sense, because he saw ghosts inexplicably at home on his first-year birthday, but as the film progressed, he found that he saw the former nanny who had been parasitic in the basement. Husband;
Ji Woo’s father can’t understand how someone lives in the basement without seeing the sun, but in the end he becomes the one who lives in the basement; the reversal of
in the rainy night is the most exciting part of the whole movie. The Yu family enjoys the leisure time when the owner is away, the doorbell of
rang and the former nanny came hereHere, looking after her husband in the basement, this is the first reversal.
The former nanny begged Jiyu's mother to let her husband live here. They only need to deliver food once a week, but they were rejected. At this time, the Jiyu family accidentally revealed their stuff and the situation reversed. This is the second scene.
reversed for the third time, the phone rang, the camping ended unexpectedly, and the owner was coming back soon. The scene was in chaos. The four people hurriedly tied the nanny and her husband to the basement and packed the house.
And the fourth time is more important. Ji-woo and his father and sister who ran away in a hurry returned home, only to find that there was nothing left at home because of the heavy rain. They had to spend the night in the stadium. This time, his father was exhausted. The fear of being discovered, the inadvertent contempt for him when the host talks with his wife, the sense of wandering that has nowhere to go, and the family responsibilities that should be undertaken as a father all make his patience reach the peak, and what he said Foreshadowed the future.
Five, taste
The word taste only appeared in the latter half, but it played an important role.
The first time it was because on rainy night, President Park and the hostess were making each other on the sofa, but felt the smell of Ki Woo, his father and his sister hiding under the coffee table.
"It's the smell of the golden driver, and I can feel it occasionally when I take the subway."
The crowded crowd in the subway, sweating, and the smell of clothes that permeate the clothes are the hardships of the lower class, but it makes them feel uncomfortable in the upper class. , This is the taste of the poor.
also made Jiyu's father feel that no matter how well he works in this place, there is a difference in taste between them, which is a hint of class.
At Doson’s birthday party, the husband of the nanny in the basement escaped, stabbed Ji Ting, and frightened Doson. In the chaos, President Park pinched his nose and snatched the keys to send his son to the hospital and abandoned the injured woman. The teacher's disregard also made Driver Jin stabbed him with a knife in anger. The final taste of
is the smell of blood mixed with sweat from the poor, perfume from the rich...
written at the end
Generally speaking, this movie is a fable social movie.
uses a lot of techniques to collide the plot. Some one-sided characters and some plots that are too smooth and seem unreasonable can be seen as the embodiment of symbolic techniques. The realistic meaning expressed in
is still worth thinking about, and it is also in line with Oscar's choice of recent film types in recent years.
