The director said it would take 564 years for Kevin to save the money in order to buy that house, aka it's almost impossible for the poor to move up from their class at all, let alone get rich, no matter how hard they work.
Dang here i am wanting to be semi wealthy🤧
Kevin? Where did u get that name? It's Ki-wu
@@jackkim2708 kevin is his english name. have you not watch the movie?
Hence why some immigrant parents invest in their kids by giving them the best possible education they can afford to at least elevate their social status in life. Imagine this, a poor farmer had a son who was the 1st person in their family who graduated from university. 30 years later, his son, after becoming a teacher and having lived on a lower-middle-class income, has had his granddaughter become the first person in the family to earn a doctorate. 10 years later, the granddaughter is now one of the top surgeons in the country who marries into a wealthy family. Even if her granddaughter didn't marry into wealth, she'd still be earning top figures from her salary for being a surgeon. Situations like these happen in real life. But it takes one generation to start planting the seeds of toil and hardship for his/her future generations to reap the rewards.
@@Jakeylicious7891 One thing you forgot is that building wealth also means saving money. Let's say you make $300K a year (which puts you near the top 1%) and depending on where you live, after taxes, you can have as little as $140K. If you decide to spend on things like a semi-lavish apartment for $6000 a month, you are left with $68K. And if you decide to eat out or get delivery food every day, that means you are left with around $40K. Then, if you get an expensive car, with insurance, you are looking at around $1000 a month leaving you with $28k. And after you pay for health insurance, you are left with $14,000. Then if you go on vacation and spend $10K on your vacation, you are left with $4K. Then you have all other incidentals or luxuries you may end up buying leaving you hardly anything. This is why most wealth people are frugal with their money. They didn't become wealthy by lavishly spending money on things but sacrificing convenience and luxury by just spending little on what they need to live and eat while treating themselves once in a while and investing the rest.
Jessica, being the most capable in the family, was the most likely to socially progress and lift them from poverty. Notice that she's the only one who had an active role in all of them securing jobs in the household. She's also the only one who didn't replace anybody and even had a job invented for her.
The pizza lady said "1 out of 4 are rejects". She's the one who most didn't belong in the sub-basement. She was the most capable of succeeding in life out of them. That's why she died.
wow, I didn't catch that pizza lady line... This movie is INSANE
And that's also big social commentary which the poor doesn't even deserve a hope. Jessica has to die because she represents a hope for the poor.
I thought it was gitaek, the father, was the one who failed at folding the pizza box. He was the only one who continued to fold it and try hard(He didn't even stared at it, he just automized himself) even when the gas came in to their house. And at the second half of the movie he said "No plan is the plan that never fails." to his son. Which somehow subtly shows that every effort he makes become meaningless.
Technically she did replace the art teachers that gave up before her
I saw the same interpretation on a Korean movie review broadcast.
the fight between the family and ex-maid potraying how low classes people always fight against each other to climb up to higher class rather than being in it together
The smell of the man living in the basement represented poverty so when the guy plugged his nose in disgust it enraged the dad because his family was also poor.
Adding on to what you’re saying, it also means that the family chooses to distance and distinguish themselves and be ignorant of the lower classes. They don’t acknowledge them and don’t care, don’t even see them as human. They only see them as lower, and they choose to do that making them inhumane.
It goes deeper than that.
Remember the very beginning of the film. The poor family is trying to leech wifi, and the father is eating. Some crumbs fall to the table. A stinkbug tries to eat some of the crumbs and the father flicks it away. Later, fumigation comes along and the father tells them to leave the window open, it will take care of the bugs.
Later, after the poor family has spent the night literally hiding under the table like bugs during the storm, and the poor family's home has been destroyed, the rich wife is celebrating how clean and clear everything is now that the rain has washed away the filth.
This puts the poor family in the position of being the bugs fumigated from the rich peoples' homes.
@@Windupchronic it goes deeper than that. The father, in his own mind, had valued his accomplishments. At the beginning, and when his home floods, we see his medal on the wall and how he prides himself in it. He saves it as one of the few items before they leave for the gym shelter. Every time the Parks couldn't stand his smell, he took it personally and brooded in hatred at what he viewed as people looking down at him.
SamuelColson It goes deeper than that.
Jk I don’t have anything to say. :(
These comments are a blessing! The movie does go deeper than what it seems and when you think you’ve reached the core, there’s more. Parasite is such a masterpiece and even the future generations can add more to its meanings and connect it to their society too.
The saddest part is the end.. Kevin making this elaborate plan to get his father out... but what did his father say about plans? Something always happens...
i think bong joon ho mentioned something along the lines that another tragic/ironic aspect to jessica's death is that she was the most intelligent out of all of them, and the most capable of social climbing. if u remember, kevin says how when jessica was watching tv in the park's lavish bath tub it looked like she belonged there
Crazy holy shit
The fact is, you really can't tell who the real parasite is in this movie. This film has a lot of layers & symbolism with brilliant cinematography. They say this movie is gonna be used in film classes. It's a masterpiece.
Very good observation. They're all parasites in their own way aren't they
we had to study parasite this year for film in my university... all i can say is wow
they're all parasites. rich live off the poor and vice versa. ITS A CIRCLE
My theory for what the parasite is how the poor can do everything in their power but they will never be able to became the rich.
@@swastisrivastava4775 That doesnt make sense. Do you know what a parasite is ? A being that lives and feeds off of another being's resources until it's dead. So it's most likely the poor family, they go into the rich house and live off of them until the end.
You really need to watch movie this more than once to fully appreciate the artistry of it.
Not really, unless you're unable to see it the first time
@@sparrow56able - no friend, he's talking about totally appreciating the FULL artistry on display in this film. The score, the script, the characters and how they actually "infect" each other, the subtle hints to the underlying plot, there's even play going on with the camera direction and different color palettes. There's a LOT going on here and nobody can catch it all in one viewing of this fucked up masterpiece. LOL. I can still watch flicks like Seven, Boogie Nights and I Saw The Devil and see new things.
Watch the black & white version! I really appreciated the cinematography even more in black & white! And the story seemed even more grim.
@@JLamstudio - okay cool. Some films in black and white make my heart beat faster they look so good. Seven, Logan and LA Confidential to name a few.
I’ve been wanting to watch this movie badly for a long time but I absolutely hate horror movies because I have a weak stomach. I can do thrillers but the reviews on this movie say there are lots of intense scenes. So that’s fun
Seriously one of the best movies I have ever seen. There is SOOOO much there and SOOO much you dont notice the first time. The movie is masterfully made. Everything has a meaning. I spent 2 days after I watched the first time thinking about it, constantly going "Oh this part, they foreshadowed it earlier with this part, holy shit". Definitely deserved the Oscar.
So much symbolism for classicism in this movie. The ascending and descending of stairs for certain characters, the living on the hill vs living in a basement, the ram-don with super expensive beef in it...
What I love about this film is how the symbolism is so subtle it wouldn't be noticed the first watch, unlike most other movies where the symbolism/theme is head-bashingly obvious.
The beauty of the movie is Kevin's monologue, "I'll make money," as he puts the stone, a symbol of wealth, down in the river at the end. Shocked black comedy.
so many incredible South Korean movies.
take any of the movies from the filmography of Bong Joon-ho, Park Chan-wook or Kim Jee-woon.
Jin roh live action was failure by Kim Jee Woon
The doorbell goes ding dong, and 90% of the viewers get big eyes and stop breathing. That was what I did, and these guys too.
Everytime there are scenes where a character crosses a line there are some really great uses of cinematography. The first one I can think of is when Kevin arrives for the first time and the house maid wakes the lady of the house. Her arm literally crosses the line created by the window panes meeting. Nice reaction. Love this movie so much.
When it's 3am and I have assignments due in the morning, I'm suddenly compelled to watch Korean film reactions. The best form of self-sabotage.
You. I get you
I just noticed that the scene of them triumphantly dumping water on the guy who was peeing outside their window came back to bite them in the ass because they got water dumped on them right afterwards
Class warfare isn't simply rich vs poor. The basement couple are poor and are grateful for the trappings and scraps they get from serving the rich (respect) while the Kims fought to keep their setup instead of working it out. The Parks were between oblivious and entitled
Wow Jimmy! Did not know you reacted to Parasite! Easily the best film to come out last year and one of the best to come out in a very, very long time. As someone who has watched the movie three times there is definitely A LOT of rewatch value. The creative ideas that went into this movie are INSANE. I also love the many genre shifts within the film because it just flows together seamlessly (a lot of movies or shows for that matter cannot pull that off). It reminded me of real life honestly. Most of us go through different genres within a single day. Like as crazy as the ending is, I could legit see something like that happening in real life.
I heard the the director got the idea to make Parasite just by looking at a pig. That’s inspiration there.
@@puppyangel4346 Seriously? That's...bizarre, but to each their own I guess. Would love to know how watching a Pig inspired one of the greatest films ever.
@@monadreher2428 yeah he admired it during in interview in Canada. Must be a very special pig.
great reaction, funny to see people get the messsage of this foreign film, the korean themes appears to be universally understandable, and the end of the movie turned full throttle quentin tarantino.
Love your vids man watching this is crazy reliving all of these emotions I got watching this seriously kept me up a few nights
If you haven't seen it already you should really check out the South Korean film Old boy from 2003 (not to be confused with the 2013 American remake which unfortunately is pure garbage)
It's truly one of the greatest movies ever made. Brilliant story, amazing action scenes and an ending that'll stick with you for weeks.
I enjoyed the movie all 4 times I watched it. It's sad at the end but I can't stress enough how relatable it actually is. One of the biggest masterpieces ever made
i enjoyed wacthing this movie with you! Thanks again!
Have you seen snow piercer?? Same director as this movie
This movie feel so real and it hurts so much 😭
All those Actors are Great Actors!!! I've watch K Drama for 8 years and Listing to K POP for the same time too!!
This movie was so....unexpected.
EXACTLY!. she should have never opened the door. why are you here? oh ill go get what you left. no? ok you cant come in. she tries to break in, call the cops. end of story......til her husband comes up for some food!
Lmaooo I love how pissed you get at Marcus in every reaction discussion
It isnt always fun :( lol
Terrific film, great reaction!
Your laugh made my day bro
Love your reaction~
“So many years of good service” 😏
Five minutes later...
Guys your reactions & discussion were great. May I suggest you guys check out Snowpiercer, which is also directed by Bong Joon-ho. It's worth the watch
this movie is insane
I like the twist in tone
It was fucking masterful
Please react to other korean movie like
- Ahjusshi (Man from nowhere)
- Fabricated City
- Midnight runner
They had a lot of awesome films...
The Man From Nowhere is probably my favorite korean film, so I second all of this.
Ahjussi is so fun to watch! I'd also recommend Poetry, Bedeviled and The Silenced aka/The Crucible (this one makes a lot of people mad, and to think it's the actor himself who recommended this story to be made to the director is amazing)
Please watch sub version than dub
I agree with backwards cap. How the hell is he going to buy that house. He comes from poverty and now has brain damage. It's talking directly to how the poor are delusional when it comes to their life dreams.
16:53 The King's Speech is such an amazing film Jimmy, surprising is you've watched many slow burn TV shows in the past, if you haven't watched it all the way through, please give it a try and maybe even react to it to make a fully formed a opinion on it but if you have, then disregard. Aside from Parasite, it's the only other Oscar laden film I still watch.
Still have nightmares about that guy walking up the stairs
Tru lol
technically she's 17-18. highschool in SK is only 3 years... but still...
get some of those small mics you can pin to your shirt, i can barely hear you guys!
This movie 🔥🔥
Is John David Washington on the left?
I was literally wondering who he reminds me of! Spot on!
korean movies are alot. and give u after thoughts......
fuck, still havnt seen this... guess this is my motivation
Gotta watch I saw the devil!
7:31 I just watched this film for the first time tonight with my friends and I fuckin CACKLED when this shit happened 😂😂😂
This movie make me think to study and work hard
Lmao how do you get the message and still be mad that they’re trying to give you a message (re: the ending)
good job boys
Would love to see you guys react to I Saw the Devil (S. Korean movie from 2010)
Korean Cinema is one hell of a rabbit-hole to fall down . . .
형님들 웃는 모습이 좋습니다 기생충 리뷰 고마워~
Amazing movie!!
yall should watch The Witch Subversion
class rage.
Guess I need to go watch this so I can watch the reaction!
This edited video skipped over a whole lot, so things will not make sense if you had not already watched the movie or the uncut Patreon version.
Interesting fact in the end credits the song is a representation of how the poor will never become the rich because society is made to keep the rich rich and the poor poor
Jessica is bae. No doubt about it.
If you want to check out write-ups about this movie, then you had better buckle up, because people go deep.
This movie deserevd it and finally won 4 oscars out of 6 nominations
Can you please react to the funniest comedy ever called The Heavenly Kid
From 1985
Please?
It's a satire about class differences.
Now you have to watch memories of murder by the same director ;)
THE SMELL.....
5:04 it's real reaction.😭
나는 유튜브 광고따윈 안본다
Wait... did this really win THE Oscar?
Yes
Yeah, Best Film, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay & Best Foreign Film were the major ones, may have won others as well
The smell is NOT funny thing at all. If u have been thru that point before, y'all won't be laughing a bit. Like me.☹☹☹
@5:30 same :((
Parasite is amazing but so is the king's speech, I watched it before it won anything and I was blown away by how good it was, a few years later I looked it up and found out it won several oscars and thought it deserved it but I guess it's all about taste
Years?! It's was made in 2019
@@Andrew58023 The King's Speech is from 2010
The SMELL...
Such a sad example of how those who are unsuccessful often sabotage themselves when they have a good thing. They shouldnt all have been in the house in the first place...so arrogant thinking the Parks wouldnt come back. What the Kims did was wrong, same with the basement couple. If they had just agreed to hide the basement couple's secret, they could have elevated themselves enough to save and get out of their circumstances. But because the Kim's did not want to share their host with another parasite, the most capable 1 of the family is dead and another might as well be dead trapped in the basement. 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️😭
Honestly this movie is sad. She died because she simply asked them to feed her husband? I didn't feel bad for anyone in the end
the ending let this film down. they turned super clever people who pulled off this MAJOR scam into idiots. then we went into vague montage land where we never know what happened to them but they showed us what happened to them? ok they didnt go to jail but why would they be on trail? why did they get off? where did they get money to get a new home when they were planning to live in the basement? where did ki woo's riches come from when he couldnt get into university before after taking the entrance exams 4 times???? up until that party i was LOVING this film. the writting is just BEYOND and great directing and acting but then it all falls apart. so no it doesnt live up to the hype, not if you watch the whole thing.........
after my cute jessica aka park sodam died in this movie, i feel sad and down~~
so i watch her romantic comedy drama to cure the pain, huehuehue
국뽕러들 모여라
This movie was pretty good but I feel like it was a bit overhyped.
Terrible movie.
How come dude? It's reflect our society
