Finally watched Parasite, extremely unremarkable


Am I missing something? What is so profound about this movie? The class inequality message it beats you over the head with?

reply

lol, I still have not seen it, however, I have watched all the other ones from the same director and they were all excellent.

Wait,...shouldn't this be in the parasite post?

reply

He posts on this board because its higher traffic means better chances that someone will respond to validate his inane mewling.

What is your point?

Are you an idiot?

Please keep your subject matter about generals, Thaistickers. Correcting people is not about movies.

Anubis,

I didn't realize until after I replied to "Thaistickers" that it is a dormant sock account that someone created around two months ago.
There is a possibility that it may be one of MovieBuff224's sock accounts. MB224 has over 1000 posts and 99% of them are in the "General Discussion" category.

Ah ha! Sometimes bait is delicious though.

I don't mind MB224's posts so much. They get people typing. Sometimes, every now and then, I half agree with him. I have enough troll in me to enjoy reading someone expressing outrage if it has enough flair. Usual decent popcorn fun when MB224 make some crazy assertion then watching him run through the gauntlet of readers beating him with baseball bats.

I like to try taking his trolling seriously on occasion and attempt to answer his question as though I didn't know better. And apparently get trolled myself by one of his drive-by socks.

You need to get out into the real world a bit more. Nothing dormant here but your mind.

Let's be nice now.

I tried to watch it, got about 30 minutes in before quitting. I thought at the time, wow--Korea has finally caught up with Hollywood--1990s Hollywood!

reply

😂 yeah sad times. I’m assuming it was awarded for PC reasons, absolutely nothing special about it

reply

Are you saying present Hollywood films are better than those of the 90’s?

reply

I'm saying Parasite has the look and feel of a Hollywood movie from the 90s.

reply

Read the synopsis. Feel like I saw it. Turned on my Privilege-Checker-O-Matic to check my privilege for me while I went shopping for a few hours.

Aren't you all forgetting that BLACK LIVES MATTER?

reply

BLACK LEVIS MATTER!

reply

Still denim, right? Protons, neutron, electrons ... right?

RED LEVIS ANTI-MATTER

I saw it for the first time just a few days ago myself. It’s certainly a well made film with engaging performances but I’ll admit it was hardly the masterpiece I was expecting from all the critical praise and awards.

I found myself wondering if I was supposed to sympathise with this family of charlatans. To me they were pretty despicable actually and by the end I had no investment in their fate either way.

reply

We're not supposed to sympathise with them. We're supposed to laugh at them.

reply

Well I didn’t do that either.

reply

While I liked it, it wasn't my favourite of Bong Joon Ho's.

reply

Maybe you were too busy smoking out of Joon-ho's bong.

reply

Or joon bong's ho.

😂

reply

the first half was funny and then it was over the top.

reply

Agreed.

If you want to watch something good from S.Korea, watch Kingdom. It's set in the 16th Century and features zombies! The show has great production values and cinematography too.

Trailer: https://youtu.be/4l-yByZpaaM

reply

Seconded. Kingdom is a fantastic show.

reply

I've only started watching it this week. Seen the first three episodes already and watching zombies rampage around Middle Ages Korea makes me wish the White Walkers had made it to King's Landing in Games of Thrones all the more.

reply

You lost me at zombies 😩 really had me goin w the 16th century angle

reply

Your loss, its a great show!
