Review:
Filming a movie is like painting a picture, you need to put time and effort into it and boy the people who worked on this film knew what there doing.
Parasite is a South Korean Black Comedy Crime Thriller film directed by Bong Joon-ho who also directed The Host (2006), Snowpiercer (2013) and Okja (2017), It first premiered at the Film Festival in Cannes where it won the Palme d'Or and most notably became the first film from a foreign country to win the
Academy Award for Best Picture, I gotta a film like this definitely deserve those achievements.
The Plot of the Film revolves around the Kim Family a poor and unemployed family who's son named Ki-woo was hired to teach the daughter of The Park Family a Rich Family and so the rest of The Kim Family tried to get themselves employed by The Park Family by pretending to be highly qualified individuals and infiltrating their household.
By hearing the plot somebody think would it be a pulp fiction kind of plot when this is not case because Parasite is on of the Artistic films I've ever seen, the way that shot some of the cinematography in this film is really unique resulting in some beautiful shots that are breath-taking to look at, the acting is also really good and the story tells the themes of Class Struggle and Greed really well.
Bong Joon-Ho knew what he wanted to make because he took much time and effort into making the best film that he possibly could and my god did he succeeded.
I would highly recommend this film if you haven't watched it yet even if you're not into Foreign films I would still recommend it, It tells it's themes well, it has beautiful cinematography and it is very Artistic, It certainly is one piece of fine Art worth remembering.
