"Parasite"

Parasite

Director / screenwriter: Bong Joon-ho

Starring: Song Kang-ho / Lee Sun-kyun / Zhao Ruzhen / Choi Woo-sik

Type: Drama

They are small enough and tenacious enough. Just a little nutrition from the host is enough for them to survive. The Keize family in the

movie lives like a parasite.

is a poor family, the bottom of the standard South Korea. In addition to Song Kanghao's father Ji Ze and his wife Wen Guang, there are also son Ji Woo and daughter Ji Jing.

They live in a damp and dark basement, the only light source is a low window, and there is always a drunk man peeing on it. The source of life is bizarre, including fried chicken shops, old-fashioned cake shops and even valet parking in hotels. Now, the whole family lives by stacking paper boxes for pizzerias.

and the first scene of the whole film is that the WiFi that the family often rubs suddenly turned off. They climbed up and down to look for signals, and finally found that they could connect to the Internet on the toilet. The brothers and sisters immediately sat down and brushed the smelly Mobile phones...

found no, they were parasites from the beginning, attached to the bottom of society, picking up a little bit of resources that leaked from the fingers of others.

And this life was changed with the arrival of Jiyu's classmates.

, ​​a classmate who has gone to college, is about to go to the United States for exchanges, but he is also working as an English tutor for Miss Dohui at the home of the IT listed company's President Park, so he hopes to have a good level but has never been admitted to college. Kiwoo went on his own.

The family waiting for the rice to cook has no choice at all. The younger sister Jijing who is good at PS immediately came up with the proof of her brother's enrollment at Yonsei University, and got the feeling of dad "Why is there no fake certificate department in Seoul University". The life of the rich family of

completely changed Jiyu's perception. The courtyard door opened remotely, the huge courtyard, there are dedicated servants, and the exquisite decoration and lifestyle. When he got the favor of the hostess Yanjiao with his skillful tongue, he also found another way for the family to live.

Soon, Jijing became the art teacher of the youngest son, and the original driver and servant of the Park family wereThe design drove away, and Kize and Wenguang replaced them. When Pu's family is not there, the four of Kizek's family will be at ease in the villa, like an upper class society.

They began to parasitize on more advanced animals. But can they really continue this life?

Parasites whose lusts have been opened, will the plan end here? In the French version of the poster, apart from the eight people in the family, there are two legs on the side. Who is that?

This is a very black story. For South Korea's hierarchical social class, the perspective of ridicule and compassion will deeply touch everyone watching the movie.

A group of bugs that are accustomed to being attached to other people's lives. What caused them to be discovered? It is that they are no longer satisfied with eating. The logic behind

is really disheartening.

Storytelling

Bong Joon-ho has always been known as the "king of Asian genres" among many Korean film directors. In his films, there is never a lack of commercial visibility. But his realistic perspective makes him even more hailed as a "movie sociologist."

Like "Memories of Murder", the entire narrative rhythm is a very standard crime movie. But the open ending at the end gave people too much room for interpretation.

and "Han River Monster", a monster movie has expanded the new horizons of Korean postcolonialism.

includes the "Snow Country Train" that conquered Hollywood and the later "Yuzi". His movies are basically not difficult to understand, but after watching it, there will be many emotions coming to my heart.

From this perspective, "Parasite" is undoubtedly his most representative and arguably the most completed work, and it has even improved in all aspects.

The unique narrative rhythm of Feng Junhao's film, the smooth follow-up movement, the precise composition, the seemingly non-existent soundtrack, and the intense performance have all become the absolute plus points of the film.

But from another aspect, it makes people feel less like Bong Joonho. Because he has gone so far in the narrative of genre films, the film is like a template for genre films.

This is like a work of art completed by the top film craftsman. It is meticulously crafted and meticulous, including the rhythm of the plot. Even many Hollywood genres may not be so exquisite now, which reminds people of many works from the Golden Age and the film noir period afterwards.

And the magnification of compassion and desire for human nature is more like a film noir.

is also because of this, "Parasite" shows a strong, elegant and popular viewing. The whole film continues to advance with strong narrative and strong structure. In a small and beautiful space, you can even see some simple flavors. The

movie's control over multiple reversals is breathtaking. The dignity after the first reversal, and the violent after the second, were unexpected, but there was a sense of tension that made people breathe cold.

Bong Joon Ho showed a kind of extreme precision when dealing with the plot of the movie. All shots, actor performances and even a beam of light are set out for the presentation of the theme. He didn't leave anything to show off his skills, everything is sticking to the story and theme to the extreme.

is also because of this, everything in the movie, whether it is an excellent performance such as Song Kanghao, or the basement setting, will not be eye-catching. They are all part of the whole movie, helping Feng Junhao complete the narrative function.

is really the handwriting of peerless masters. As skilled and meticulous as a craftsman, Feng Junhao has woven a masterpiece with a very solid lens. He does not need to prove to the Cannes judges or anyone that he has the ability to direct, he only needs to do one thing: tell a story.

smell

The Taiwan version of the film is translated as "parasitic upper stream." The distinction between the upper class and the lower class has become the most obvious discussion pair in the movieElephant.

Their identity has many interesting symbols. For example, the people living in the basement are inferior people, and even sunlight is a luxury for them. On the contrary, the luxury houses in the upper class can enjoy the best light and scenery.

film uses many brush strokes to depict the difference between two different classes. In addition to the sense of space and light texture, the most prominent detail is "smell". The word

appears repeatedly in the movie. First it was the youngest son of the Pu family. The kid who appeared to be superficial and sacred suddenly rushed out and said that the smell of the driver (Ji Ze) and the servant (Wen Guang) are the same, and the smell of the teacher (Ji Jing) is the same.

What is that smell? It seems to be just an exaggeration of tension, for fear of being discovered that they are a family. But then we knew that the taste was not that simple.

President Park told his wife, Yeonjoo, that he felt that Keize had a smell he didn't like. He would smell that smell when he took the subway occasionally, because people who took the subway had that smell.

get it, what's the smell? Poor taste.

Especially after the heavy rain, the family lost their home and was embarrassed to the extreme. When Kize was driving this day, his smell even made Mrs. Kuo Yanjiao intolerable and had to open the window.

This is the superiority of the upper class, and it is also a sense of distance that cannot be truly surpassed. Ji Woo, who is desperate for change, once asked Park Da-hye "Am I right here?" He didn't believe that changing his clothes would really make a difference.

They are just parasites, and rely on each other's surplus nutrients to survive.

also therefore, they have a deep understanding of what "the poor livelihood tricks, the rich conscience". Because the desire to survive compels them, they must break their inner morality and safety bottom line. Ji Woo, who wants the most

, ​​is also the one who has gone the farthest. He even took out the treasured stone and wanted to do something that his parents dared not do-murder. The content represented by the stone

is also extremely interesting. This is a meeting gift brought by Jiyu's classmates. It was also after the stone came that the family obtained happiness that they had never thought of before. It seems that this stone is really lucky.

On the other hand, Jiyu, who has been wearing it, bears the weight of the stone. Even in the end, the broken life of a family originated from this stone. It also represents the price.

Wealth, price, and sin, when people’s greed moves towards an unknown bottom line, they actually have a similarity. After reading it,

felt cold. Bong Joon-ho never shy away from the most terrifying desires in people's hearts and the courage to be driven by desires, but what he is really glaring at is the society that causes this class division and brings evil.

Who is the parasite? Is it the lower class living in the basement, or the upper class who can still sing and dance for children’s birthday parties when the people are displaced? On the

poster, everyone's eyes were covered, and they all chose to block a certain part they didn't want to see. This kind of psychological blindness allows them to ignore the parts they have hurt and indulge their desires.
