Unbeheld

The thing I love about this movie is that it just shows a glimpse of how competitive the environment is in South Korea. There's so much competition to get good education, a successful career etc.. that you need to be smart in order to get ahead in life. The parallels are even more elegant, it's not even that the rich family was "evil", it's that they are completely oblivious as to the disparity between their life and the kim's household. The cinematography is also unreal, the shot of the rich family watching the rain drizzle makes it look like a scene from a Disney movie, while at the same time the poor family living under the hill is getting flooded. Plus watching Jessica sit on the toilet so the sewer shit doesn't bust through was priceless. The one thing I'll mention, that often gets lost in translation is that the Kims were not uneducated peasants. They were an upper middle class family that failed in several business ventures that gets mentioned in the passing. This is also evident in their education and being able to deceive the Parks so easily. Also the best inside joke in the movie is that Song Kang Ho is a tremendously well respected actor in Korea with an impressive film resume, he's got the Al Pacino/Robert De Niro kind of street cred in KR films. So for the actor playing the son "instructing him" on how to deliver the speech about the caretaker lady having TB and coaching him was super funny. Just glad that in the end you could overlook the subtitle barrier, as there's plenty of other great KR films worth checking out in the future.

The daydream is basically a daydream that will never come true. him and his mom and dad will be stuck in those basements forever.

Pessimist, it's open to interpretation as to whether or not he has it in him to make it.

Glad to share this movie with you Jimmy. The movie volume was a bit high, making it difficult to hear your commentary, please turn it down a smidge.
