Parasite or in Korean edition titled Gisaengchung, the film by Bong Joon-ho is one of the many South Korean films that for me is very good, very must be watched, according to the reality of life we ​​live in now, social inequality of lower class life, and upper class . Also opens the other side of a social life in the poverty strata of the class struggle for survival. After Hearty Paw, Train To Busan, and Kim Ji Young Born 1982, I am increasingly convinced that South Korea will become one of the biggest film industries in Asia, possibly in the world, also by proving this year's Oscar award in 4 categories in the film Parasite in 100 years of South Korean film. Previously, the film Parasite also won awards at many film awards, including: the Cannes Palme d'Or Film Festival, Best Foreign Language Film at the Golden Globes 2020, Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture at the SAG Award, up to two trophies at BAFTA The award.

Bong Joon-ho is very neat and genius in packaging stories in parasite films. Simple premise that carries a strong message in each of its characters. I realize that even a good person basically will emerge their negative side in a cornered or in a state of pleasure and do not want to get out of the situation even want to control even more. Maybe without us knowing, each of us also become parasites in the lives of others just for the sake of survival. Two lives at different levels between the upper and lower classes. Forcing us to see the reality, that tackling in a power does not always happen among the upper, there is also injustice that must be violated in order to survive.

This story begins with the Ki-taek family, which consists of 4 people, father, mother and two children. They are all unemployed with an uncertain future. Living in a narrow semi-basement alley house and even when the rain gets flooded, the work of folding pizza boxes is erratically even often the honorarium is cut because it is not neat in folding, relying on neighbor's free WiFi at the highest place of their toilet, and can only see and let the neighbors get drunk always piss in front of the window of his house, until one day they have the courage to drive the drunk away. Inversely proportional to the family of Mr. Park (Lee Sun-kyun), a billionaire with a house that towers upward like his position as the upper strata. When Ki-taek's family was flooded by constant heavy rain and the next day they had to evacuate with many people in a sports stadium, the Park family celebrated a sunny day after heavy rain and coincided with the birthday of their son.

Until one day fate changed and brought them together in the same sphere, the employer's family and the worker's family. There came Ki-woo's friend (Mr. Kim's youngest son) who offered Ki-woo or Kevin to work in the Park family as an English teacher, Mr. Park's daughter. Replaced Kevin friend who was going to study abroad. With his skill, Kevin finally became the teacher of Mr. Park's daughter absolutely with a many pretend. And from here the story begins ....

What about when Mr Park's wife told him about her son (Da-song) until Kevin's mind had to find a tutor to art drawing for Da-song with frills "expensive and classy" even though nothing else offered was his own sister Ki-jung (or Jessica) just because of Jessica's expertise in designing Kevin's fake diplomas. And it worked, Jessica really created herself into a classy woman from day-to-day wearing a T-shirt and shorts. The guesswork is, how is Jessica when she took Da-song to be able to obey her, even though told by Mrs. Park that Da-song is one of the children who is very hyperactive and difficult to obey one person.

Short rolling time, Jessica and Kevin increasingly dissolved in the Park family. Full trust was obtained by them. Slowly designed and thinking tactics to be able to occupy work positions in the family. Starting from the work of a private driver, how Jessica had the idea to get rid of the driver by putting her underwear in the corner of the car so that accusations flowed to the driver when Mr. Park found the item. And finally met, then told with a narrative of his personal assumptions that sometimes himself doubted to his wife that his driver had dared to play sex in his car, Mr. Park fired the driver but for no reason about the underwear. Finally, by recommending and from the label of trust that has been obtained "Mr. Kim" who is the Jessica-Kevin's father can occupy the job position.
The story gets more interesting, getting a position by shifting the position of others.

The housekeeper's turn. Jessica and Kevin and their father really thought about the plan to get rid of the old helpers. Until finally he know from Da-hyeo (Mr. Park's daughter) that the maid was allergic to peaches. Action launched, and succeeded. The old maid was removed with an alibi for tuberculosis disease to the Mrs. Park by Mr. Kim. What was amusing here when Mr. Kim showed tomato sauce on a tissue from the trash can and said it was vomit of the old maid's blood when coughing. And Mrs.Park believes about that. The maid was fired, again for no reason about the disease.

The action went smoothly, and the mother Chung-sook finally took a position as a worker in the house. All happened briefly, until from here the conflict began. An Easter egg, an unreadable story. Where when Mr. Park and his family went camping to celebrate Da-song's birthday. That day, the great opportunity Mr. Kim and his family took advantage of to enjoy the luxury facilities of the employer house. When they were immersed in the pleasure (drunkenness, and digressions) suddenly surprised by the sound of a bell. Panic momentarily enveloped, seen on surveillance TV that what came was an old maid who reasoned that he wanted to take something that was left behind. Kim's family had an argument to open the door or not. And finally Chung-sook opens the door and Mr. Kim, Kevin and Jessica hide. From this it is known, maybe this is the purpose of the title of this parasite which is more profound, when an unexpected thing is present. Where it turns out for several years the old maid also provided a place to live in the bunker Park family home for her husband. He came because He remembered that He had to deliver food to her husband. The conflict began when the old maid asked Chung-sook to help feed her husband and he would pay some money. Until when Mr. Kim, Kevin, Jessica fell accidentally and the old maid knew that they were conspiring and would report to Mrs. Park with a click of the send button from the mobile screenshot message. How it went, until the horrific murder tragedy was present, how could it only be because of Mr. Kim's "smell" problem that he could kill Mr. Park. If you're curious, please watch this film. What is clear is that this film is very interesting to see and really a story line that is not easy to guess. Like calm river water suddenly washed away in the end. We never know what scenes are presented in each of the following series of stories. Once recommended with an average movie reviewers love scores above 8 for this parasite by Bong Joon-ho.)😉 Dwiita
