Well if you want to cry and be scared at the same time you found the right film. It's not English so use subtitles but I believe you can find them already on there. The ending is debatable and questioning.

This movie gave us a perfect sketch of the despicable human nature that lies within the surface. I didn't really look forward to watch it but when i did it was humorous and equally hearth wrenching. Every single moment of this film is filled with fine predicament of horror, visual metaphor, mystery, intelligence and humor, which is bound to be legendary. It unquestionably portrays an inexplicable picture how a poor family breakthrough a threshold into the world of riches in few nights in order fulfill their mortal desire, ends with losing more than their conscience and fidelity of their own reality. There were no lose ends, no plot holes in the movie, with excellent acting and relatable characters. This is basically a vivid proof of how a movie can be turn into pure art, and Bong Joon-ho made it possible.

Pretty speechless after finishing that. I dont even know what to do with myself. I think I need time to recover. But rating it.. completely loved it. I managed to avoid trailers and plots a whole year before watching it. So had no clue what it was about. Really well filmed. Loved the characters. Got pretty stoked about how good they were at finding a way in. Definitely took an unexpected turn near the end. But that was all well done film and writing wise. Made for an interesting watch. Score was good. One awkward sex scene. It's basically 2 different films, first half and second. I loved both. My family loved the first 😅 deepens on film taste I suppose. First half my favourite and second was shocking but still good to me! Gonna take me a while to recover from that ending 😄 but 100% worth a watch.

Act like you own the place Once in a blue moon comes a “best of the decade” film. While many may have differing opinions as to the type of film that matches this title, these films grow to be undisputed classics in cinema as a whole. One such movie was only released last year. It’s Parasite (2019), a film that practically swept the Oscar floor on award night. It’s almost mind-boggling to think that many may skip this movie, thinking it’s just a plain, non action-packed film from what they see in a simple trailer, or one paragraph review in newspapers and magazines. These people should, in my view, take the time to fully appreciate this masterpiece of film and take it as just that. But, don’t let the movie’s title fool you. It’s not just scary. It’s thrilling as a modern film could be. Directed by the masterful Bong Joon Ho, this film will make you rethink EVERYTHING you previously knew about how cinematic works could be created and, frankly, life itself. This is the movie in which greed and class discrimination collide and threaten the lives of a newly formed symbiotic relationship between a family and a destitute clan. The film covers a wide range of genres in 2 hours. To be honest, I’ve never in my life seen a film that covers as much ground in terms of emotion, mood and the aforementioned genres as Parasite does. The director, using these genres to great advantage, is marvelously fantastic at all of them. From comedy and mystery to a thrilling, crime-driven romance, this film, needless to say, has it all. However, while being such a compacted film, it never loses an audience nor is negative towards them. Bong Joon Ho wants the viewer to catch, if they can, the numerous hidden details that help them better understand the film’s message and layered plot line. With that being said, there’s no reason why this film shouldn’t have a high rewatch-ability factor to it. Surrounding this thoroughly entertaining film are a stunning screenplay, unbeatable cinematography, striking suspense, and a boatload of great performances by actors such as Kang-ho Song, Sun-kyun Lee, Woo-sik Choi, and the ever so talented Yeo-jeong Jo. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Tearjerking to a breathtaking degree, one’s life, it’s safe to say, will forever be changed by this single film, as it was for me. To say you’ve seen Parasite is to say you’ve seen one of the greatest films of the present generation of cinema.
