One scene among hundreds in a +3-hour film. Yes, it's badly done, but specially so if it's watched detached in a webm. In the film itself, it's not too important or notable.
I definitely noticed it immediately. I thought the whole movie was bland except the final scene where moron Deniro plays himself in not quite knowing what to say, which actually works really well in that scene for the character. Apart from that final scene there isn't a single thing that I liked about the movie and it's 9 hours long.
Thanks for actually giving an answer. I liked Parasite but I agree that Joker was better and more engaging. The poor people oppression themes was also more insightful as well, even though it's super on the nose. I don't think the Irishman compares to either film though, honestly and thanks for reminding me to watch Shoplifters.
Shoplifters was 2018
The Irishman and Joker are not better than Parasite at all, I mean everyone has their opinion and shit, but I really don't see how they're better. The Irishman was Scorcese on autopilot, Joker was a more bombastic variant on The King of Comedy.
Yes, thematically Parasite is not something incredible, but in terms of directing and overall concept it's an extremely entertaining and stylish twister.
I can see best direction but what about the concept/characters/themes is all that compelling? I'm not mad it got it's flowers but I understand the claims of those that it's overrated.
Its funny how normies think rich family = villains, poor family = heroes. Because all westoids can only think in binary good and evil, jedi vs sith.
Also because most of them are “poor” (in comparison to the ultra rich) so they are just terrible at hiding their jealousy and hate for people who are better off than them.
My gf says I laughed very loud at the end when he started murdering everyone and it was emberrassing in the cinema.
Was it even funny? I don't remember laughing or how other people reacted.
It's actually excellent, but since everybody outside here praises it to high heavens and it managed the very improbable feat of getting all the big awards, then the morons on Cinemaphile have a moral obligation to play the contrarian game.
What exactly was excellent about it?
It was a bland plot that wasn't even good enough for a full movie so they had to throw in a ridiculous twist at the end.
Woah, a poor family of extremely competent conmen who can pretend to be high class drivers, high class nannies, forgers of documents, and so on, meanwhile the best they could come up with before having this opportunity handed on a silver platter was folding fricking pizza boxes, and even then apparently 1 in 4 was done wrong. Pizza boxes.
Harder than folding pizza boxes correctly you dumb frick. Harder than finding a job better than folding fricking pizza boxes you stupid moronic frick. Way harder than not being so moronic that you can't deal with a bug problem in your home properly so instead you leave your windows open intentionally so that the toxic bug spray being sprayed outside also gets into your whole house WHILE YOU'RE ALSO PRESENT THERE SITTING AND BREATHING IT ALL IN, WHILE FOLDING FRICKING PIZZA BOXES YOU MOTHER FRICKING moronic NO BRAINED DIPSHIT FRICKSTICK MORON ASSWIPE wiener SUCKING homosexual
The only reason I NEED is that it's FUN and I'm having a GREAT TIME being ANGRY
You know the gullibility of the rich family was the main factor in their “success” right?
Yeah, they fricked up, but they still had standards that the poors managed to pass. The guy was actually a good tutor and managed to get that underaged chick (and her mom) hot and heavy, the sister was resourceful and clever in tons of ways both in regard to her job (making shit up for the art therapy) and also for the others (photoshopping, pretending to be working for a company that connected her mom, etc.), the mother managed to play her role convincingly, the father was a good enough driver that the rich father employed him and continued to employ him despite the fact that he thought he smelled bad and crossed lines in how he spoke to him. This entire family has all these capabilities that they've apparently been sitting on this whole time, and yet before this golden opportunity just dropped in their lap the best they could do was sit around and fold fricking pizza boxes for money. Not even just one of them, all 4 of them were doing it together.
Bunch of moronic slackers who also happen to be fully capable at pretending to be professionals. Not to mention their whole Mission Impossible bit where they work to poison the nanny so she gets fired.
And anyone with half a brain should see them as a bunch of pieces of shit for all that they did, even if you think rich people deserve it or whatever, the family also fricked over the driver and majorly fricked the nanny (all just for more money, even though the guy and his sister were already employed and paid well, very sympathetic).

Would you say that seething about a Korean film on a Chinese image posting forum is the best you could possibly be doing right now? Sometimes people are in situations below their own abilities due to a variety of their own reasons.
Yeah but you're implying that they're fricking up pizza boxes as some sort of skill issue. They just don't give a frick. I'm sure if folding pizza boxes would set them up in a mansion like the piss easy jobs they accepted did they would though.
>high class
I think the film accurately shows that this was largely just about image and adherence to the hierarchical rules, rather than any skill they could deliver. The sister knows some photoshop basics and it ends up being irrelevant because the wife is not actually interested in the credentials.
i haven't watched it yet because i'm just sick to death of asiatic shit. they're all terrible fricking actors and all their stories are braindead normalgay shit rife with melodrama and cliche. anime is king in bug countries and it severely, negatively affects their actual acting and "live action" movies.
i also fricking hate watching any movie about "poor people" because the actors playing those "poor people" are literal orders of magnitude richer than those people they're portraying will ever be. they're always moronic and shit movies and absolutely nothing is right or realistic or profound. know what fricking movie i want to watch? force a celebrity to live for real for 1 year on a street named after MLK jr. cameras in every room. give them a full time job at dollar tree. there's your movie about poor people - call it - "Black folk are a scourge on the planet"
i could literally hold you down with one arm and rape you while i beat you to death with the other one. i could ass frick you into a corpse and you couldn't do anything. what does that feel like? that i could sit on top of you like a grizzly bear and take bites out of your screaming, writhing body while i stuff my wiener in your ass? you are unbelievably lucky this isn't an in-person conversation. seriously
Your issue is that you seem to think film needs to be an accurate portrayal of reality, even down to the actors physically experiencing the role they are in. Also most of the LA acting is completely different than anime VAs. Unless they're trying to adapt anime to live action and completely throw nuance out the window.

people that enjoy chink flicks are like the equivalent of porn brained gooners that only get off to midget snuff porn
you have just fried your receptors to the point where you only crave things you havent seen before, even if its autistic asiatic shit so you can applaud it as being different and culturally distinct
if you appreciate terrible scripts, predictable plots, abysmal acting, and themes that make after school specials seem refined, then yes, you ARE a moron and you only think its deeper than your own pisspuddle because its le foreign
Hard to try to accuse anyone else of moronation when your 'argument' is to just generalize an entire continent to blanket criticisms without any basis. But it's probably (You) bait.
I took away that its a critique of koreas poor people are bad mentality via making them dumb and evil. Most foreign audiences took it as capitalism bad because they arent familiar with the asiaticd rigid slavery to appearances and consoomerism.
Yea it was. A superiour movie exploring the same theme was made few years prior. And should have won oscar instead. But parasito was more brainlet and normie friendly sadly. simple as
There is no rural stuff in Parasite. They have very different stories and tones. The only thing you could really hold them to is that they feature unexpected violence at the end. I like Burning a lot and the frequent mentions of it along side this film are very unbecoming and a little embarrassing, to count myself as a fan when many of them seem insecure of Parasite's success. They're not similar enough to warrant it.
It was an entertaining rollercoaster ride but obviously not worth the rewatch when you know what happens. I definitely didn't get much out of the social commentary, possibly because I'm not Korean, but I'm pretty convinced this director is now knowingly making movies for American pseuds so maybe it was just badly implemented.
Idk I kinda liked it more the second time. A lot of the twists seemed slightly random the first time but on rewatch it's interesting to see how much it truly connects.
I don't understand why anyone could sympathize with the rich family in this. They chose to have servants. They only have 2 children to take care of. Why do they need 2 different tutors, a cook and also a driver?
Obvious b8 but they both work jobs and still want to make sure their house and children are taken care of when they're not there. Even if they didn't the extra help is still appreciated and their employees are compensated fairly.
The message was clearly "rich people have the luxury of being good people".
The ending especially sucked though. The basement scene was moronic, the dad going on a murder spree was moronic, the son living in the basement was moronic. Feels like they didn't know how to end it.
The dad going on a murder spree was the only thing that made sense and is literally the average anons daydream. He was the only one that took their con seriously and it was all for nothing. The rich dude being able to literally smell the poor on him was the icing on the cake.
It was kind of fun. Not much more.
It was pretty dumb, I had high hopes after watching other Korean kino.
It's a Bong Joon Ho film. You hate this one, you hate em all.
It was ok. Didn't deserve an oscar. Jessica (forgot her real name) was a qt domme
What should have won?
If you insist on a foreign film, then Shoplifters. Otherwise The Irishman or Joker were both better films that were nominated
>the irishman
>joker
jfc you must be one insufferable midwit c**t
They were the best two of what was nominated. Still just ok, but better than Parasite
>The Irishman
>good
I never said that. I just said that it and Joker were better than the other nominations

It was like 7/10 but because all the normies thought it was a 10/10 I had to pretend like it was a 2/10 to balance them out.
Thank you for your service anon
it was good but memories of murder still is bong's best
Its funny how normies think rich family = villains, poor family = heroes. Because all westoids can only think in binary good and evil, jedi vs sith.
Also because most of them are “poor” (in comparison to the ultra rich) so they are just terrible at hiding their jealousy and hate for people who are better off than them.
How did normies justify poor dad sperging out and stabbing rich dad like a moron instead of trying to save his daughter?
literal brainlet
It made sense to them because their kind has always cared more about hurting the rich than helping the poor
The main takeaway from normies was that the rich people were innocent though, just ignorant.
From anecdotal experience, it was the exact opposite
The rich people weren't treated like villains at all, even in its own text.
My gf says I laughed very loud at the end when he started murdering everyone and it was emberrassing in the cinema.
Was it even funny? I don't remember laughing or how other people reacted.
No it was good.
Yeah it was. He got his revenge and he was fed up with being treated less than a human being.
Shoplifters >>>>>>> Parasite
no, it's Hitchwienerian
Wrong asiatic, Chan-wook is the Hitchwiener wannabe
yes
The only thing I learned from this movie was never let poor people in to your house.
It was definitely good. Not quite great, but definitely comfy. Certainly not shit.
It's actually excellent, but since everybody outside here praises it to high heavens and it managed the very improbable feat of getting all the big awards, then the morons on Cinemaphile have a moral obligation to play the contrarian game.

Do you really think those things you've mentioned are hard jobs at all?
Harder than folding pizza boxes correctly you dumb frick. Harder than finding a job better than folding fricking pizza boxes you stupid moronic frick. Way harder than not being so moronic that you can't deal with a bug problem in your home properly so instead you leave your windows open intentionally so that the toxic bug spray being sprayed outside also gets into your whole house WHILE YOU'RE ALSO PRESENT THERE SITTING AND BREATHING IT ALL IN, WHILE FOLDING FRICKING PIZZA BOXES YOU MOTHER FRICKING moronic NO BRAINED DIPSHIT FRICKSTICK MORON ASSWIPE wiener SUCKING homosexual
Still no reason for you to be malding this hard over the film

The reason why some scams are successful is always based on the gullibility of the victims not the magical skills of the scammers.

You sound like you have a lot of issues
please, describe them based on my dissatisfaction with asian media, false media, and Black folk. what issues do i have? how many?

Poverty needlessly extended throughout a lifetime by laziness, gluttony, and an endless cascade of easily avoidable failures.
Only the end of it made me burst out laughing. The rest of it isn't that funny.
Memories of Murder is better.
I liked it. It's a fun movie, especially the 2nd half. I hated the poor people and liked the rich people so I guess I didnt get the capitalism message
I took away that its a critique of koreas poor people are bad mentality via making them dumb and evil. Most foreign audiences took it as capitalism bad because they arent familiar with the asiaticd rigid slavery to appearances and consoomerism.
What do you think the message was? Also the poor people were clearly supposed to be buttholes so you aren't wrong for disliking them.
Yea it was. A superiour movie exploring the same theme was made few years prior. And should have won oscar instead. But parasito was more brainlet and normie friendly sadly. simple as
How is that the same theme? Because there are rich people and poor people?
Class struggles, the divide between rich and poor, rural and urban
There is no rural stuff in Parasite. They have very different stories and tones. The only thing you could really hold them to is that they feature unexpected violence at the end. I like Burning a lot and the frequent mentions of it along side this film are very unbecoming and a little embarrassing, to count myself as a fan when many of them seem insecure of Parasite's success. They're not similar enough to warrant it.
This and Parasite are two of the most overrated movies out there. They are pretty good but the praise that they get are ridiculous.
Name 5 better movies in the past few years than Burning
yeah it was so bad that guy killed himself
It was an entertaining rollercoaster ride but obviously not worth the rewatch when you know what happens.

how can I agree when it's so well known that op is a homosexual?
If you see it as "poor people are condemned to frick up their chances by lying and cheating" it's pretty based.
But they only get the chance in the first place by lying and cheating. I'm confused on which film you watched.
I don't understand why anyone could sympathize with the rich family in this. They chose to have servants. They only have 2 children to take care of. Why do they need 2 different tutors, a cook and also a driver?
>they are evil because the employ people
Obvious b8 but they both work jobs and still want to make sure their house and children are taken care of when they're not there. Even if they didn't the extra help is still appreciated and their employees are compensated fairly.
I loved it but the Oscar should have gone to 1917 or Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
You misspelled Endgame but I digress
