Parasite is a film about a poor family of four, a son, a daughter, and a mother and father. They work as pizza box folders and struggle to make enough money. One day they are given a scholar’s rock by a friend of the son. This friend suggests the son, Ki-woo, to tutor the daughter of the Park family by pretending to be a university student. The Park family is extremely wealthy and hires Ki-woo. Ki-woo then makes a place for his entire family to work in the Park family house. They all successfully find themselves working for the Park family, but it suddenly all changes.
Parasite was an incredible movie with beautiful cinematic shots and held an interesting message about the relationship between the wealthy and poor in our society. I loved Parasite as it provided a great amount of shock-factor to the table. Parasite is one of my favorite movies because of its well created story and its execution.
Rated R
