Review of Parasite (2019) by Romath — 14 Jan 2020
Korean satire about social class differences turns into slapstick comedy implicitly contemptuous of working class and poor as schemers, scammers and pointlessly violent. That is, pointless relative to the social class satire it seeks to portray.
The film ends with a stereotypical working class dream, stereotypical from the standpoint of the wealthy. The last half of the film drags. Well filmed and acted, it is nonetheless at its core a vastly overrated movie.
Just enough for wealthier liberals to feel a bit good, to think there's something here that isn't.
