I'm not a fan of Korean movies but I heard good things about
Parasite and I decided to see it for myself and I was impressed.
Parasite is about the Kim family. They are poor and live in a basement level apartment with no job except meger jobs like folding pizza boxes. The little cash from that can not be enough to take care of the family. Eventually, the son Ki-Woo Kim (Choi Woo-sik) gets a job through a friend to tutor Da-Hye Park (Jung Ziso) the daughter of a wealthy man. Not long after, he recommends his sister for a job also with the Park family and the Parks employed Ki-Jung Kim (Park So-Dam) not knowing she was related to Ki-woo.
Soon, through scheming and plotting Ki-Jung and Ki-Woo made Mr and Mrs Park fire their driver and house keeper therefore making them hire Mr and Mrs Kim. The parks had no idea their employees were related and everything seems to be fine. They treat their staff well and had no issues. The Kim's were happy until they discovered a secret basement in the Park family residence.
In this movie, the director Joon-Ho Bong brings up the issue that humans tend to look away from one another's trouble. The movie touches on societal differences between the rich and poor. Lastly it illustrates the repercussion of greed. The Kim's were greedy and their greed led to their downfall. They could have settled with Ki-Woo working for the Parks but they were not satisfied and they had to make innocent people jobless. People who were also struggling like they were. This movie thought me that not only the rich get greedy but the poor also can be greedy.
That is all for now guys.. I hope you all are staying safe during this pandemic. We shall overcome!!!
