Bong Joon-ho presents a great scenario and fiction detail primarily through two family paintings he created in his seventh film Parasite / Parasite. Inspired by the contrasts of the two families, the film also strikingly reveals the details of the concept of being a family. The parasite is called to organisms that can literally live as a dependent on a living creature and can also harm the creature it lives on.
The Kim family, which has been tested with poverty, can be included in the parasite boundaries due to the neighborhood, home and events that occur outside the house. The Park family can be seen as people carrying someone on their backs with the natural wealth they live. But they also have a system that they stick on their back. And even a number of facts that the system has made it colonial. So this goes like this! One seems to be open to confrontation, and the other seems to be uncontested in ordinary patterns. However, as the two families interact, there is an emphasis on cheesy scents from both sides.
The Kim and Park family are two family models representing the uneven distribution of income in the country. Although Kim’s family is poor, he was able to include his children in an education enough to teach them in their rich homes. So there is no organic link between the education level and the income level. We can say that they are teaching their children first to their sons, then their daughters, and they are taking over the house by including their mothers and fathers with their intelligence.
The film suffers the anger it creates in the second part against the usual and expansionist flow in the first part. This leads to an explosion of anger raised by people who cannot live the same life! After the drunks peeing on the Kim family windows, they are thoroughly questioning a change from the halls of the Park family to a lush and rainy night.
The fact that the internet they are perched on the top of the toilet at home is actually pulling all over the house is another development that enlightens their heads! Of course, it is another social and ethical problem for the Kim family to close the path they open for them for other workers! After all, there is an unbreakable bond between the family and this makes their job easier in every sense. Even in case of sunk and stinking, they do not compromise their vital situation. If necessary, they close the lid of the overflow toilet seat and continue to live there, in stinking, and they do not seem to be able to leak this style and attitude to another place or environment!
There is also the Park family, which we think they are sparkling in front of all of them, their ties are more detached. They often create the areas of freedom they have created for each other, ignoring them. They almost don’t have a single scene that we see together. Because of the size of the house, they do not have the chance to have the secrets of the house.
They want to think that what the little boy sees at night is a ghost. Because it sounds easier for them. The disconnection between husband and wife continues until he is alone on a couch in a compressed area. They get out of their comfort a little more and relax while looking at their son sleeping in a tent in the garden and return to their essence. But the cabinets that are rotating at home are still too closed to be aware of.
Of course, the film also activates its head with a bottom. We understand that the husband of the house, the veteran of the house, Moon-Gwang, has been living in the cellar of the house for years, and that the person whom the little boy saw at night is the husband, Geun Sae. When the woman who had to leave her job had to introduce Kim’s family to her husband’s presence, she also launched the networks of a different social chain. It’s kind of like a cycle of fate. Ending and replacing lives and corpses that keep them tight! And the stench that occasionally leaked from those corpses.
The film unanimously won the Golden Palm award at the 72th Cannes Film Festival. And when you watch the movie, you realize how accurate the jury made a decision. You enjoy watching the film’s intelligence spreading it into thin film. You feel the tension in you in a normal way, although you may more or less predict what will happen. After congratulating the tragedy after a happy moment, you congratulate director Bong Joon-ho once again. He shares his directing success with us because he is fine. A production parasite that every director should take into consideration in terms of scenario and fiction!
