I don't know, I feel like reading anything good from that movie is giving it too much credit. 99% of the population will walk away from the movie with the idea that poor people are all heartless cockroaches who will kill you for literally no reason whatsoever so don't feel bad about living in a gated community. Maybe the author meant to say something else, but then he just failed spectacularly. Rich family in parasite are just objectively better people than the poor family and that's the only thing most people will get out of it.
Bong certainly meant to say something else. He has been publicly critical of capitalism. I don’t think he failed tbh, but I did watch the film with preexisting left wing views. I’m not sure you are right about the 99%, most of my lib friends sympathized with the kims over the parks
Well, yeah, the poor family is sympathetic because they're point of view characters and they face various hardships throughout the movie. But it doesn't change the fact that they are literally the bad guys in the story. Poors are the ones (and only ones) who do all the lying, scheming, stealing, and killing.
It's like watching the Reservoir Dogs. Sure, you sympathize with the characters but they're still the villains.
I haven't been excited for a movie since sorry to bother you.
"Sorry to bother you" and "parasite" were great, though the liberal elite took the wrong lesson from parasite.

Poor people are poor because they are lazy or steal from & kill each other

Haven't seen that one, did it live up to your expectations?
Absolutely. I remember walking out of the theater feeling high. Highly recommend it, kind of a must see if you're a leftist.
Very cool, I'll add that at the top of my watchlist. Thanks!
