A new study has emerged on the increasing concentration of wealth in the United States.

American universal citizens are working hard to achieve the American dream, but the wealth of the 400 richest people (0.00025% of the population) owns more than 150 million adults in the bottom 60%, Washington. Post (WP) paper analyzed.

About 18,000 members of Deep State's Cabal, a financial aristocratic force that aims to become a single government in the world, are said to be the majority of the world's wealth.

Is the wealt gapd okay?

Official Trailer

A globally recognized film

Cannes Film Festival Golden Palm Award, Golden Gloves Foreign Language Film Awards, Oscars, etc.. Film Parasites that have won many awards.

It's a running time of about two hours, and there's no time to be bored at all.

The subject of the whole family entering a rich house and cheating (?) is also fresh, but in the thrilling movie scenes, I did not forget the comedy.

In my case, I like watching the movie while predicting the flow of the movie to some extent, but the moment the reversal appeared, it felt like I was beaten in my head.

Even after watching the trailer or until the middle of the movie, this reversal was not expected at all, and I think it can be said to be a really fresh reversal.

Director Bong Joon-ho's McGuffin was perfect.

It seems that the reason why winning films are reluctant is a preconceived notion that there will be too many philosophical or difficult parts.

After seeing in-depth reviews from critics, he is hesitant that the film will become difficult, but 'Parasite' is an interesting movie.

There are many reviews on YouTube and the Internet that put great significance on each prop, but it's really fun to watch without paying attention to such details, and even after the movie is over (as the creator's intention), an unpleasant lingering lingering remains.

The past distorts the present.

When the half-basement house where Ki-taek (Song Kang-ho) lives is submerged in water,
Among the items Ki-taek brought, the medal and award received by Ki-taek's wife Jeong-soon (Jang Hye-jin) through the exercise is a symbol of a legacy that can remember life on earth.

Ki-taek's family now lives in a semi-basement, but in the past, Ki-taek's family must have had a different life from now.

The splendid past is the link between living in the present

If there is no past, the existence itself is denied, so even in a water crisis, medals and awards become a legacy symbolizing the past and a link that enables us to live the present.

The scene where the whole family depends on Wi-Fi and the appearance of Diestrammena coreana, where Gordioida lives, symbolizes Ki-taek's family as a parasite.

#'Line' that separates classes

Director Bong Joon-ho expressed the space of the train divided into Cannes and Cannes in the Snowpiercer in an unequal class.
In Parasite, the class was divided into ground and underground to express the class around the line.
(The white and black lines on the poster show that'line' is used as the standard for classifying classes)

If the underground space is the space of people who are stuck with the past and stopped, the space above the ground is a developing world that advances forward.

The future progress that Ki-woo (Choi Woo-sik) mentions while tutoring is hopeful in that he dreams and expects a different life from Ki-taek.

Ki-woo, who plans his life on the space above the ground to rescue his father (Ki-taek), constantly expects a change to life on the space above the ground.

The fact that CEO Park (Lee Seon-gyun)'s job is in the IT industry is also a symbol of life on the upper class .

The square window in Ki-taek's house is a line that separates the basement and the ground, and the fact that Park's house has many squares and right angles is a metaphor that Park is obsessed with the line.

CEO Park attaches great importance to not crossing the line. If he crosses the line he cannot be with him.

Classes that are thoroughly separated cannot be easily crossed, and if they try to cross the line in an improper way, there is only dire punishment, that is, death.

The day CEO Park's family goes camping, Ki-taek and his family spend a good time drinking at Park's house.

When CEO Park's family returns home earlier than scheduled, Ki-taek's family scatters and hides.

It's like a cockroach that scatters when you turn on the fire.

The Ki-taek family is just a parasite living in Park's, and is deceived from the outside, but the essence, that is, the smell, can never be hidden.

Just pretend. Ki-taek's family gradually moves to the earthly space where Park's family lives.

It is crossing the line that should not be crossed.

Centering on the line, the person below and the person above cannot coexist, and when they are forced to coexist, they will eventually be separated again through death.

A gisaeng can only live as a gisaeng, and can never be a host.

The world divides the life of the lower class and the upper class again, and peace comes.

Director Bong Joon-ho, who has sublimated class society into a well-structured script and black comedy genre, consistently throws a message on whether there will be equality in human society.

In the modern society where many people live together, an invisible class absolutely exists, and the social system for maintaining that class is still in effect.

However, in a house that is soaked in the rainy water, he comes out with his friend's flint, who is a hope and a superstition that one day our house will be able to rise to life on the space above the ground.

In the latter part of the movie, Gi-woo puts the flint back on the river, which means he will no longer believe in superstition.

Father, Ki-taek said No Plan! In the end, the Plan is a life who cannot escape from the underground life, and Kiwoo throws away flint and makes a specific plan to rescue his father.

The plan may be wrong. However, I think director Bong Joon-ho is saying that plans and attempts are the way to get life on the ground.

In fact, it is too sad to conclude that the parasite is inevitable in the appearance of Gi-woo, who makes a rather vague plan than a concrete plan.

It is somewhat vain, but I would like to conclude that plans and attempts are certainly hopes that may lead us to a new world.

Overall review

I want to evaluate the story of the parasite as the best in all the stories of the novels and movies I have seen.

From the subject matter, the twist, and the MacGurfin, who deceives viewers, are all perfect films.

Even if you write down more than 100 expected reversals before watching the movie, there is a high possibility that you will be beaten in the back of the head by a remarkable reversal.

Other than that, not to mention the inserted songs and productions of movies. The camera angle and music induces you to immerse yourself in the story of the movie, and the actors' acting also contributed to making this movie a masterpiece.

Feedback from the April 1st Hive Power Up Day
Hive Power Up Day - April 1st 2021 - Hive Power Delegation

I recently watched Parasite, and it was AMAZING. It drew the line on poverty insanely well, especially with the rain. Ki-taek's face as Park's wife is talking about how the rain was a blessing tells it all. To them, the rain causes flooding destroying their home but to the Parks' it was wonderful. I felt that. Definitely recommend that everyone watches the movie.
