Small things, such as the Kim family opening their windows as their neighbourhood is fumigated in order to rid their own apartment of pests, or drunkards that liked to piss on their basement windows at night, were double-edged jokes that combined absurdist humour with sly details of the family’s desperation and socio-economic plight.The film is obviously a social commentary on the class divide in South Korea, but it’s so much more than that.

Then he’ll buy the Park family house where the Kims will live in the sunshine.It’s a great gift of socialism that you finally see how the dream of “making it” on your own, or with your little beleaguered family unit, is crazy in a capitalist system set against you.

The rest of the Kims scramble to clean up the mess they had made, sweeping everything under the couch and hiding under the living room table. Sweet, hapless father Ki-taek (Song Kang-ho) puts on a calm reassuring manner as the chauffeur, and fierce mother Chung-sook (Jang Hye-jin) steps into the dignified shoes of the housekeeper Moon-gwang (Lee Jeong-eun) after brutally maneuvering her out of her job.There’s no worker solidarity here, obviously — it’s a dogfight among the working poor, battling for the scraps from wealthy tables.
The Park family (Choi Woo-sik, Song Kang-ho, Jang Hye-jin, and Park So-dam) in Bong Joon-ho's Parasite.Our new issue, “After Bernie,” is out now. He is traumatised not once, but twice at the sight of Moon-kwang’s husband, and is also the youngest and most innocent character. If he is ever caught, he may suffer the death penalty for committing a murder.

It’s that great of a film. As with every film, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, so my interpretation here may be different from yours.I think that everyone, particularly the Kim family and Moon-kwang’s family, showed parasitic behaviour.

Mr Park makes a comment about smelling Mr Kim (who, unbeknownst to him, is literally right under his nose), and complains about the smell that Mr Kim exudes. The Park family (Choi Woo-sik, Song Kang-ho, Jang Hye-jin, and Park So-dam) in Bong Joon-ho's Parasite. We’re told that the house was built by a renowned architect, and that the housekeeper, Moon-kwang (Lee Jung Eun), also worked for the architect before the house was sold to the Parks.Ki-jeong, Ki-woo’s sister, is the main brain behind the scam operation that brings in the rest of her family into the Park residence. Expect me to keep checking for more.Your email address will not be published.

The real deception is carried out by the Kims, and works flawlessly.Once the entire Kim family is employed in the Park household, the lower-class con-artists begin to assume more and more of this fabricated identity of wealth.

Please go catch the movie in the cinema before it ends its run.The film begins with the Kim family at home in their tiny, cramped basement apartment. Parallels are drawn between the two families to show that poverty and social status can sometimes really just be a matter of circumstance.What ensues from this point on is a chaotic, discordant frenzy, where the tension set from the moment we discover the hidden bunker never eases. They throw their windows open to insecticide when the neighborhood is being fumigated in order to get rid of their bug infestations. That’s why in the film, the son, Ki-woo (Choi Woo-sik), keeps saying, “It’s so metaphorical!” in a comically meaningless way. Mr Park runs over to Moon-kwang’s husband and pushes his body aside to retrieve the car key, but not before he wrinkles his nose at the smell that Moon-kwang’s husband exudes.In a trance-like state as his daughter is bleeding out on the ground, Mr Kim is triggered by Mr Park’s balking at the stench and fatally stabs him in the chest before running out the house.
