#Parasite movie reviews movie#
It’s a movie about a struggling poor family whose members insinuate themselves one by one into serving as the household retinue of a rich family. It differs only from its predecessor and other lunatic movies in that there’s nothing futuristic or supernatural or magical going on. It was made by the guy who made Snowpiercer, Bong Joon-Ho. I’m telling you all this because you’re going to hear a lot about (yes) another South Korean movie called Parasite in the coming months if you pay attention to the movies. They have to provide a variation on the classic form that takes it in an unexpected direction. Entrants in genres-and we might as well throw in Get Out, which is a racialist horror flick-must have some kind of originality if they are to work. Snowpiercer is a post-apocalypse thingamajig. Colossal is a Japanese monster-movie disguised as a Reese Witherspoon go-back-home romantic comedy. It’s bonkers.īoth movies are genre pictures. There are peasants in the back and rich people in the front the peasants live on ground-up cockroaches while the rich people dine on pheasant. It’s about the surviving inhabitants of planet Earth living on a train in perpetual motion going around the planet. Speaking of South Korea, there’s another insane movie made by a South Korean director called Snowpiercer. When she enters a playground in her home town at 8:05 a.m., the monster rampages in Seoul, South Korea. I’m talking about a movie as nuts as its creator is surely nuts.Ī couple of years ago, there was one called Colossal, in which we learn a giant Godzilla-like monster is the unconscious manifestation of an alcoholic party girl in New England played by Anne Hathaway. The movie that seems like it emanated from the brain of someone with ADHD who is also a cocaine addict. I love a totally insane movie as much as the next guy.
