I understand the hype around this movie and it deserves it all. It holds true to the Oscars it won even though those four statues don't define a gem such as this.

Parasite, in general, is a movie about classes in society and the depiction of this theme is deep in many ways with the darkest of humor one can write. It's engaging and thrilling, but most of all, it spreads a message no one would have expected from it. Twenty minutes into it and one is already drawn to the fact that this movie is not something you'd easily find on Netflix or any other movie bingeing sites. When Bong Joon Ho made a film out of this script, he clearly wasn't aiming at beautifying social hierarchy or pleasing the audience ( but he did it anyway), and you'd immediately find that out. The director wanted to spread a meaningful message as he did in all his previous movies and his intentions become clear towards the end of the movie when things take a turn. The movie, Parasite, was aiming at portraying the war between the Drowning and Drowned (both who I refer to as the working class that's trying so hard to survive the clutches of the rich who's the only boat in the vast ocean that can help save them). I wouldn't want to give anything more away so I highly recommend everyone to definitely watch Parasite as it's a rare jade to find these days.

I suggest all who haven't watched Parasite yet to walk in with no expectations. It gets better every minute and you'll know it but having no expectations will just help you experience the entire essence of the movie as you won't be looking forward to something that's not there.
