‘The Witch Part1’ recommendation
The reason why Kiwoo is not dead because the rock was a fake rock...and it symbolise how everything was a false hope from the start. Their lives will never get better
Yeah, the rock was shown to be fake because it floated up during the flood.
But ironically, that's the reason he survived getting his head smashed by it. The rock did not have enough mass to crush his skull completely.
@@CrabTastingMan most of us think it’s a luck that he still survived but some people prefer to die than surviving with a lot of people judgement and being poor. For him, there’s no hope.
It's funny how this movie had more tensions than most horror movies
Agggggrrrreeeed lol
I just love watching people react to this movie cause you can see them all smiling and laughing for the first half of the movie, shocked and terrified for the second half😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The director, Bong Joon Ho, has said that the title Parasite refers to everyone in the film. The rich family are parasites preying on the desperation of lower class workers to maintain their lifestyle, while looking down on them at every turn. The servants, past and present, are all parasites on the rich family.
The movie is one of the best I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot. There was so much tension in a film with no threat of violence in it. And then... there was violence! It deserved to win Best Picture, no matter how our former president felt about a foreign film winning.
The rich family doesn't need to rely on the workers, if anything, they're creating jobs and it seems like they pay well. This is the opposite of parasitic actions.
@@Forse702 dense
@@leepstemoop4588 well argued
@@Forse702 fair. Parasitism is a matter of perspective. The rich are parasitic on a more macro scale. This family is on a micro scale.
The ending song was a clue as to how the movie ending. There’s no way that the son would be able to make enough money to buy the house in his lifetime, so it’s only a dream.
it is unlikely but not impossible, some people started business at the age of 30 and had a million by the time they turned 33.
@@aymanm.8462 it IS impossible in this imaginary case,
there is no way he could work as much as to become a millionaire by himself, life does not work like that for people who are born without the privileges of money
@@denisseescobar3558 maybe it is impossible in his case, even tho i don't know why. it is very possible in real life, i know a lady that started her business with 450 euro's as a single mother. her business now is worth around 1.5mil euros. she started 6yrs ago. you can become a billionaire with 1 dollar. life is full of surprises, you can go to sleep poor and wake up rich and also the other way around. how many people had millions and went back to 0 in weeks?
@@aymanm.8462 previleges comes in many form, money, connection etc. poor boy with little connection? not likely.
@@aymanm.8462 Then give us a plan, how is he supposed to make enough ? What is he supposed to work as ? Unless he wins the lottery.
I read the director said it would take around 560 years for Kevin to make enough money to buy the house and free his father
There is a reason why this Movie got Best Picture on Oscar 2020.
one metaphor that i loved from this movie was the "smell". Poverty is not something that people can help. They cannot just get rich instantly like some people think. It stays, sometimes through generations. Sometimes you can't wash away a smell, because that's the smell you were born with. You're family smelled like that, your house smelled like that. You can't escape it.
Yeah, that last visual of Mr. Park being disgusted by the poor smell even in THAT kind of situation really pushed Mr. Kim over the the edge.
Yeah I think it was after the flood that the gap between them grew the most, as the wife is talking in the car blessing the rain while it was devastating for them.
Truth. Happens all the Time too
idk why you all missed this but he didnt kill mr. park bcoz of that cheap reason. he killed mr. park bcoz he would suspect their family for being accomplice or atleast know something about it, bcoz they all have the same smell (poverty)
The thing is though, reacting to smells is reflexive. Anyone will react to an unfamiliar bad smell, possibly without even noticing they're doing it. He didn't do it out of malice, it was just a normal human reaction.
There was the flood. They were not able to take a shower afterwards and was called upon the next day.
the 'native american ma'am' line had me hyped. I'm indigenous and its always nice seeing people care to correct people about that
We screw up ourselves sometimes. But always mean well. Thank you
25:24 One of the best moments in cinema history. I laugh every single time I see it. The look on his face when he holds up the napkin is priceless.
Another cool thing about the movie is all the symbolism portrayed through the cinematography. Things like the rock being hollow, just like the son's dream or the family fleeing from the rich house at the top back to their house at the bottom.
I spent 7 years in Korea. Towards the end I tutored 2 children. A girl and a boy. I would come to their house and was paid in cash (technically not allowed as a public school teacher). It was always in the kids bedroom and the parents would come in with snacks once during a 30 minute session. They would also ask me to hang out afterwards for more snacks or dinner ( I think mostly to interact with them and the siblings).
That’s very interesting to see. Trusting
Yup i think it wasn't just in korea. Its mostly in Asia contries, its pretty normal
did you check out their basement? 🤣
@@Dan-gi6tf Lmfaoo
The director Bong Joon-ho said that the son's plan at the end will never work, because realistically no matter how many years he works with a normal type of job even with a college degree he will never be able in his living years to buy the house. The main plot of the movie it's the division of social classes. Poor people do whatever it takes legally or illegally to have some taste of the rich people, and rich people are ''genuinely nice'' because they have everything but always look down on not that fortunate people
when i watched this movie for the first time i didnt realize how much stress i was holding on to the whole time i was watching it lol when it ended my body physically felt tired i was clinching the whole time hahaha
55:36 if you guys were still wondering, the dad was the only one who knew how much the dude underground actually respected Mr. Park. He tweaked when he knew that the underground guy "served" Mr. Park for how many years, and them too working, just for Mr. Park to be disgusted and to work through that disgust for his own safety.
In a way, the dad saw the most injustice in this movie, working with Mr. Park, being underground, seeing the old caretaker die. Despite being a parasite, he still knew to care for others unlike Mr. Park but since that night he's gone from insulted to just straight up resentful.
The song in the end credits is called “Glass of Soju” / “564 Years.” 564 years it would for him to make money to buy that house, but that will never happen.
And this is why Parasite won best picture 😈
THIS WAS ONE OF THE BEST REACTIONS TO THE MOVIE PARASITE I HAVE SEEN.
All of us were amazed and laughed at the level of hustlin' the Kim family were on and in the beginning we were rooting for them.
Then, they were just out of control with their high level hustlin' that we wanted to bail out on them!
LOL
My brotha Rock Lee was SOOOO STRESSED, he was trying to bail out of the movie several times (oh my heart goes out to him) but still held on 'til the very end. D Nas the cool cat he is, he was just enjoying the whole ride, even though it was horrifying at times.
The fire and chemistry between Rock and D Nas was insane in this reaction!!!! Everytime these
two brothas do Korean contents reactions, they are straight up fire!!! I cannot wait to see what Korean movie they will react to next!!! Keep up the great work, gentlemen!!!! 🔥🔥👍
Thanks soooooooooo much
I took a picture loved this comment
@@YaBoyRockLee You are welcome. I had to re-watch over and over cuz it was sooooooo good!!! 😉👍🔥
My first time watching a video from you two-- and it was awesome! You two picked up on a lot of themes and plot points that a lot of folks I think take for granted. You two work really well off each other too! Looking forward to see more of your videos.
Thank you 🙏🏽
This movie is a masterpiece. The symbolism, the directing, camera work, everything. Godly. We are all Parasite 😱
Lee just accumulated 10 years worth of stress just by watching this movie lol i hope ur not gonna retire soon lmaooo
Fam. This family was willlllld 😂😂😂
Pleasantly surprised you reacted to this, great reaction! Random notes -
- You're spot on, this family is capable but had a lot of financial misfortune. Koreans jump on small business trends and often lose everything. You might have missed the reference to the Taiwanese cake shop the dad mentioned earlier, then the basement psycho dude also mentioned failing with a Taiwanese cake shop. This was a real trend that died quick.
- The dad made lots of plans, and they never worked out. That's why he gave Kevin that speech.
- Kevin was the baseball boy from Train to Busan.
- The driver wasn't trying to find out where Jessica lived, he was hitting on her, probably hoping for some ramen and chill. You can see her getting annoyed then concocting the plan to get him fired.
-
Thank you for the notes. It was helpful
How do you know that the dad made lots of plans?
Rest in Peace, Lee Sun-Kyun (the actor who played the rich husband).
The tension these two guys shows for this movie got me excited too though I watched the movies couples of time, seriously their reactions are the best so far!!
I was impressed that you picked up on shame culture. Western world is more about guilt while Eastern world is more about shame. And about the line, there were lines separating between the rich and the poor in the earlier part of the movie in the rich people's house between the wife and the workers using glasses, stairs, etc. Great reactions and discussions!!!
My parents are Jamaican and Director Hatian. Shame is a big part. Often folks don’t realize how many of us “Westerners” are immigrants or 1st generation Americans.
You guys are the fastest I've seen anyone realize they're going to kick out the housekeeper to get Mom hired, and the fastest I've seen anyone realize that the Parks would be coming home because of the rain.
Because Korea is one of the safest countries in the world, a lot of Koreans are too trusting, to the point of naive. When my Korean gf was an exchange student in another country, I had to always remind her to lock the door in her room. And when her dad visited her in that country, his phone got snatched on the train. For me who grew up in a dangerous country, always being on guard with our phones is very basic lol.
Anyways glad you reacted to this. Enjoyed it a lot. I hope you react to another Korean classic- New World (Korean: 신세계) from 2013. The main actor is the main actor from Squid Game.
YES, THANK YOU!!! PLEASE REACT TO NEW WORLD (2013) STARRING MR. JUNG JAE LEE, AKA GI-HUN FROM SQUID GAME!! ✌️👍🙏
@@MKelly-py9ys Yep I really hope they react to it. One of the best movies Ive ever seen.
This is my favorite Korean movie. I was not a fan of Train to Busan, I kinda liked it but there were many things that through me off, but Parasite was just done so well.
Note: the director-written lyrics to the ending song reference that it'd take 564 yrs for Kevin to earn enough to buy that house. The whole point is that the structure of their society prevents talented smart poor people w no connections or money from ever getting anywhere. It's not a matter of working harder or being more determined, the system will stack the odds against you. The Parks benefit from the system... private education, tutors, servants, neighborhood, college... while the poor fight over scraps. Sometimes they worship the rich, like the basement guy, equating wealth with merit+goodness and superiority. Ugh
We love Mr Park. He has a beautiful voice & he was doing his best. Justice for Mr Park!!!!!
The son Kevin played also in *Train to Busan* as baseball guy who died with his girlfriend
Yeah, I wouldn't necessarily call the man in the basement crazy, at least not when we're introduced to him. Hitting the lights was possibly the most creative display of gratitude and respect he could think of to honor Mr. Park, simply for being the person whose work and income provides him his basic needs like food and shelter. His aim was to do it in such a way that wouldn't risk letting the Park family on to his presence. His obsession with the light switches was subtly hinting at how close he was to the line of pure insanity - that it really wouldn't take much to completely flip him. Of course, it's the Kim family's shenanigans that leads to the event that would push him way over the line to total derangement, by the end of the film.
Also, the film does in fact hint that Kevin will never be able to buy that house. Even if he were to recover fully from neurological damage by sheer luck, it would take way more than his remaining lifetime to acquire the wealth to buy the Parks' old house, because upward class mobility in such a society is next to impossible.
This film here is a phenomenal critique of class struggle in a late-stage capitalist society. The Parks are in a great situation economically, and live far uphill from where the Kims live, who themselves are in a bad situation economically and live half way below ground level. The maid's family however, are in an even more disastrous position economically, and exist all the way deep underground. They happen to exist right under the noses of the wealthy Park family, who go on with their own lives completely unaware of, or apathetic to their existence among them, or to their struggles. Because the system is the way it is, classes at the bottom fight for dominion over one another, only for gain of access to the scraps left behind by the most affluent, privileged class. The rain (symbolic of economic depression or collapse) affects the classes unequally. It creates the mild inconvenience of not being able to go camping, for the Parks, but results in a beautiful sunny day for a celebration afterward. The Kims experience the harsh inconvenience of losing their entire family home, and becoming homeless. However the basement family experiences the horrible inconvenience of losing the whole human life of a loved one. The Parks have a gigantic "fuck off" window in their house with an incredible wide view, the Kims have a half window with a view of the ground, while guess what the basement has.... no window.
There's just a smorgasbord of things to analyze with this film. It is a masterwork of epic proportions.
Love your channel, amazing reaction as always, this movie truly is amazing
Thank you so much for reacting to this movie, what a genuine and refreshing reaction, I swear. You two picked up so much plot points and themes, and the way you bounce off each others' ideas and anticipate shit so well, it's so fun watching you both! Loving the energy. I'm subbing this channel to discover more lmao
28:51 ''it just got dark''
ohhh you don't know anything yet, it gets waaaaaaay moreeeee darker
15:34 lol he thought he had an idea of where the movie was going 😂🤣😂🤣😂😂😂 I can’t wait to get to the thick of it lol
If it was as simple as just getting rich and buying that house, why would he have been living in a slum in the first place? It’s a nice thought that he could become rich and buy the house to free his father and they’d all live happily ever after, but that’s never going to happen. The ending, too, was metaphorical. Especially in terms of "someday, you'll be able to climb up those steps." Which could mean in a class sense.
He's a wanted murderer, even if his son buys the house, how could he just walk into broad daylight ?
Realistically, the father will never be able to walk up those steps in the literal sense. Also realistically, the son wouldn't be able to buy the house in the first place, ever. Or it would take decades for someone like him to make enough. Such a good movie!
Truth
Yeah, it's certainly wishful thinking. When Kevin says he has a plan towards the end, remember what his dad said earlier in the gym? "Plans never work out" or something along those lines. Also, it wouldn't take Kevin decades, but five centuries to earn enough to buy that house.
LMFAO the "We smell broke btches" Got me💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀😭 45:43
Yup. It really is a Wonderful Movie. Thanks for the reaction
14:35 FUN FACT 😄 The female student is the main character child actor of 'The Glory'
8:11 FYI: Not that it makes it a whole lot better, but the translator failed to localize the translation properly. What Min literally said was that she was a 2nd-year high school student. What the translator failed to consider was that Korean high schools are 3 years, so in American terms, she'd be a junior, not a sophomore. Great reaction, fellas. Always love the energy!
That actually makes a lot more sense! Thank you for providing that context. (But like you said...still sus)
If I remembered correctly, yall watched Train To Busan.
The brother plays the baseball kid in TTB.
The actor "Kevin" is the baseball player in the Train to Busan.
I've been waiting for this.
I loved your after-discussion. You had a lot of insight on the deeper aspects. You deserve more views!
Best reaction to Parasite I’ve seen 🙌 Yall were entertaining and observant, loved it!
Appreciate it very much
I had my mom watch this movie for the first time and told her it was a comedy-drama, she became to traumatized after that doorbell rang in the second half of the movie 🤣
Yooo Lee with bricked up reaction 🤣
Lol
46:33 "Get off me" 💀
Yes I agree that watching a film without reading the synopsis first is great. Going in with a blind eye adds in to the whole experience. Even trailers may take away from the whole experience, so I don't really like watching trailers...whether of movies or dramas. I also watched this movie without knowing anything about it last year and your reaction really took me back to when I first watched it, so thank you for this reaction. This was an amazing movie and I am glad it received an Oscar. Well deserved. Other Korean films that won't disappoint that I recommend are:
1.Forgotten (Movie...criminally underrated)
2.Taxi Driver( K-drama...not your typical k-drama. It's the most unique k-drama with a unique storyline and I am mad at myself for not knowing of it earlier...Like I would go back in time and lose my memory just so I can watch this k-drama again and again)
3.Strangers From Hell(a masterpiece of a k-drama)
4.Flower Of Evil
There is no way to predict where this movie is going when it starts lol
I'm not even 20 min into ur reaction and I'm loving it so much, you 2 are the best!
Thanks lol. Appreciate the love on this movie
One of my all time favorite movies. SOO glad you two are reacting to this, especially because you both are clever and add a lot to the watch. The word parasite has an extra meaning here. The poor rely on the rich for their scraps while the rich rely on the poor for their labor. The poor as a result fight over the scraps. Everyone's a parasite. It was calculated that it would take several lifetimes to even earn enough to buy the house to free his father. That's why the father never made plans. When you're that poor you're stuck in every conceivable way and plans remain just dreams. The smell is also not a literal smell, it's the smell of poverty, something you an never wash off and something they could never wash off no matter how hard they pretended. They were stuck in the poor mindset. It's why instead of saving to get out of that basement house they spend it on treat-foods
Thank you thank you
They’re not poor because of their mindset, That’s not the message at all. They’re poor because of circumstances out of their control. There hints throughout the film. They used to have a taiwanese cakeshop, those cakeshop were very popular in S.Korea until a rumour that was in the media that the cakes were bad for people’s health and the oil or something could cause diseases which resulted in hundreds of these cakeshop owners to go bankrupt. The man in the basement also owned one of these cakeshops and he was fleeing from debt collectors that’s why he’s hiding in the basement!
So glad that you brought the movie to CZcams. Always interesting to check different reactions to this movie.
If con movies are fun to you guys, it's just natural to recommend you The Great Pretender anime.
Gentlemen, watch the original Korean movie, "Old Boy". Spike Lee loved it so much he made a crappy remake of it. The action scene in "Old Boy" is epic. It inspired the John Wick action scenes. The movie is about revenge. We Koreans do revenge on another level. LOL
In case it hasn't been mentioned before, the lead character was the baseball player from "Train to Busan."
7:24 "N1gga you brought a rock?!! We are broke and you brought me a rock?!!! Dafuq!!"
LOL. This is why D NAS is my man~~!!!! LOL. 😂✌️
P.S. What his friend should have done was, bring a few boxes of Korean fried chicken🍗
and the whole family would have enjoyed them! Oh well, better luck next time! LOL.
I knew you guys would appreciate this
I’m still watching your reaction but the Kim family teenage son played the main baseball teen in Train to Busan (the one who the cheerleader liked).
20:00 - I'm genuinely impressed at how quickly you figured it all out
Watch "The Witch Part 1 The Subversion" if u can - such a badass movie or..
Oldboy (korean version, not the hollywood version). Your reaction to this movie would be EPIC!!
this is a fine reaction video. it was great watching this movie with you two.
Thank you
Sad thing about this movie is that they are all really smart, but since they're poor they'll likely never manage to get on top
Facts
I love how sometimes when youre ending the video and then keep going 😂
Lol!
I always thought that getting rid of the driver and housekeeper was a necessity to remove all possible threats to their con. Replacing them with their actual folks secures their safety in a way, but of course we see that isn't the case and they just kept doing tooooo much lol. It just feels like when a plan works best when it's simple like how the original housekeeper and her husband did, and the Kim family just kept adding more and more people and it's like that's just more people who could ruin it all.
R.I.P Actor Lee Sun-Kyun [1975-2023] 😭🙏🕊
This movie is what made choi wooshik’s (edward) escalate. Choi wooshik plays the son of the poor family that came in as the tutor of the rich family’s daughter. He was the baseball student who helped the muscular guy and main character fight all them zombies in train to busan. He also played one of the american male witches in “the witch: subversion part 1”.
Great reaction and discussion.
This movie goated
Love this reaction !
need to see yall react to everything everywhere all at once
I like reactors that can appreciate the struggle lmfao
I know I'm a year late on this but I searched the comments and nobody explained the literal meaning of 'the line'.
There's metaphorical meanings behind it sure but he literally meant crossing the lines on the road as he wasn't a perfect driver.
37:48 - "OMG, these fucking people." Haha I love it!
😂😂😂😂
"You're my favorite fanbase!" -
YOU SAID THAT ABOUT THE OTHER FANBASE TOO!!!
I dont lol. Promise
My other bases include members that take personal attacks and call us names for our opinions or intellect. I’m less opinionated on some videos as a result
@@YaBoyRockLee Haha! Yeah I've seen some of them since I've been watching you guys a while. Always love your energy and your humor.
@@Ragdefender thanks ha
A good recommendation would be “business proposal” it so good and funny I think you guys would like it
good father fml ahahaha love you guys this will be fun
Guys please react to the Korean movie The Man From Nowhere its amazing

This is one of my fav movies
I watched this movie immediately after watching it snab all the major category Oscar’s .. went in only knowing the title poster and the directors name .. I SWORE it was gonna be a horror movie .. I pressed play and I was hooked .. stopped watching the subtitles bout a lil over a quarter way through Had me in a chokehold!! .. THIS FILM IS IMMACULATE!!! It sits at the top of my roster of films .. I love watching my people of color get into this film and it took a minute but I’m starting to see more and more reactions from my people ! And I love it !!
so many awards got this movie.. this movie is really good.. and terrifying.. ☠️🙂
The best i've seen the last 3 years
Hope u guys react "ekstreme job" this genre comedy and action

I thought you wrote a programing code😭
Lol
YES, EXTREME JOB (2019) WAS HILARIOUS!
IF YOU NEED A GOOD LAUGH, THIS IS A MUST! ✌️
just fyi y'all parasite is not technically a kdrama because you really only call korean series kdramas, this is just a korean movie
Facts
Lmao. They got you bro
This is one of my favorite movies ever. Sick attention to detail, and while the theme of socioeconomic parasitism is clear, practically every shot has symbolisms that everyone can only pick so much from to inform their perspectives, and the surface plot is a tragic comedy, Shakespeare-esque shit, not too common nowadays.
I feel bad for those who can't pick up any symbolisms at all and think it's all about a con family getting fucked up.
Some examples of symbolism: the scholar's rock could be "opportunity", they got it, but mishandled it. In the flood, it floated, meaning it's probably fake. They still could've dipped, but again misused their opportunity, and it 'fell on their face'.
The toilets, and the levels of their houses. The poor family's house is 'underground', lower than the level of sewage itself. They've got to climb way up high to get to the rich family's mansion, which, by the way, the neighborhoods were CGI. CGI is sick when you don't notice them.
Details:
Ram-don in this movie is a modified version of the real thing, the real thing is Jjapagetti and Neoguri noodles mixed together, a kind of broke college food, but in this movie there's sirloin steak. Like 10 grand rims on a rusted Prius.
Rich family's daughter was down to earth. She didn't ever order the caretakers, and didn't ask for a second bowl of ram-don. Didn't ride with the kid's artsy crap, and actually carried Kevin amidst the chaos. She a g.
The sister was so good at this shit
You definitely should react to The Witch: Subversion it’s just wow 😩
오~~~우리형들 드디어 기생충보는거야?!!👍👍 다른한국영화 올드보이,살인의추억,아저씨등등 많이보시고 리액션 부탁드려요! 항상 재밌게 보고있습니다~🥰🤗
The Handmaiden.
Oh yes!! Love that movie... these guys would surely love it too haha
Y'all should react to miracle in cell no.7 it's a must watch i swear
