    “They’re rich but still nice”
    “They’re nice because they’re rich”
    I feel like the Good guy and the bad guy of this movie can be decided by the audience.. like who can relate to whom. This movie is very metaphoric and anyone can relate to even one character or situation at some point.

      The mom said that. Then she said, "if I were rich I'd be nice too! Actually I'll be nicer!" And then proceeds to hit the dog and make it cry. This shows me she won't be any better. She's getting a little taste of rich and she's already reckless and hitting a dog.

      Viet Nguyen yes exactly . I saw a lot of people kind of not getting or interpreting these sentences differently but I honestly think “they’re nice because they’re rich” comes from the poor family’s behavior . Because of the life of theirs they did bad things turned into “parasites” and with this sentence they kinda said that if we weren’t in this critical condition of our everyday life we wouldn’t be doing this .. and at the other hand rich people can be really nice just exactly because they’re rich people and not because they’re nice people. The level of metaphorical conversations and visualization is amazing in this movie .

      I find it interesting that being nice is subjective. For instance, is it nice for the Parks family to not look out for their employees when they got stabbed in the heart?? At least one of them could have called the ambulance.

      I saw it here in Los Angeles at the Vista which is only one of two theatres playing it here. I’m glad I saw it in 35mm because I think it fits well with the cinematography. What I can say is it’s truly heartbreaking, the performances were amazing. I loved Joaquin’s performance and I’m rooting for him but Adam and Scarjo’s acting is near perfection they were so great and magnificent. I wouldn’t mind if either Joaquin or Adam Driver wins the Oscar. My tip would be to watch this with an open mind because if you think this movie is about a deep dive about a couple’s relationship I think you’ll be dissapointed. I don’t want to spoil it anymore but watch it with an open mind and no expectations and you’ll love it. It’s an emotional rollercoaster and Randy Newman’s score broke my heart slowly it was so good and one of my favorite scores ever.

    Parasite and Joker are the best films of 2019 hands down ( iN MY OPINION. THIS IS MY OPINION OF TWO MOVIES I LOVED DON'T TAKE IT AS THE END ALL BE ALL CAUSE IT'S JUST ONE LONELY CZcams COMMENTERS OPINION XD).
    Both had me so engaged the movies felt short I had to see them multiple times cause I felt like I was missing things. Both had great actors both leads and side characters. Though I will say S. Korea has been making amazing films for more than a decade. If not longer. I just got into K movies and dramas a decade ago so I'm sure there's more.
    So, yeah. These 2 are my personal picks for movies of the year.

      a parasite starves to death unless it attaches to a host...and often times a parasite kills it's host whether intentionally or unintentionally. So in this film the poor family are meant to symbolize a parasite because they are struggling to survive, latch onto something thriving by disguising themselves, and in the end murder the "host" which causes them to fail as well. Very similar to parasites in nature. With the father lying dormant in the bunker at the end, also very similar to what a parasite will do.
