Lmao lol i posted on another vid that they're gon react to parasite next lol..i think it was on the 80s movie

Zana

LETS GOOOO

MercedesMelissa

the kims were parasites but also the parks (rich) too… but the true parasite was wealth

MercedesMelissa

a semi-basement apartment… in some dramas i’ve watched, it is common occurrence that this kind of apartment is used as an insult, calling you ‘semi basement’ as a way to mock you…. this kind of living is deemed inferior, with people looking down on you if your family lived in one

Yes TB is highly contagious. You cannot share utensils

i think y’all weren’t paying attention to the part at the beginning where the rich mother took money away from kiwoo’s envelope and lied that they were paying him more than his friend’s pay for inflation. both families are parasites in different ways. the rich family is a parasite of the poor family’s labor and the poor family is parasitic to the rich family for survival. no one is morally right in this movie & that’s the point 😂 also in korea it’s very veryyyy hard to get a job that pays a high liveable wage if you don’t go to university. part time work is common so ppl work multiple part time jobs to make ends meet. once you don’t go you’re kinda stuck. being out of work bc of credentials and having to find a job is more intense than here in the US. the college entrance test that the daughter was studying and being tutored for is soooo important in korea, every student has to take it. if you fail (like wooshik’s character did 4 times) it’s expensive to retake and hard to bounce back. the test is so important that korea stops planes all over the country as not to distract the students on test day. korean ppl get completely stuck in life when they don’t get a high enough score or fail it.

The film shows that it doesn't matter how nice or how smart you are, socioeconomic backgrounds do determine A LOT in your life. The disparity between the rich and the poor is very obvious in this film and evidenced by the use of stairs and lines drawn between characters. And though the poor are seemingly 'the parasites', it's arguable that everything they do in the movie is actually understandable and not even enough to grant them financial and social stability. The true villain is truly wealth and capitalism, and how they manage to debase people and make them do absolutely insane things in order to survive. By all accounts, the 'poor' family should be able to thrive by their resourcefulness alone, but the society we live is incredibly unfair. That's the point of the movie.

Yea no I’m sorry but if my child could be dying I don’t rlly care what’s going on with other people around me. My child is MY responsibility. If their kid wasn’t there and hurt then it’s a little bit of a different story. But as a parent (mother OR father) your child SHOULD come first. Why would the dad go and try and help someone who isn’t even closely related to him over his son who could possibly die. Why have a child if they aren’t your first priority in dangerous situations you know? The idea of taking care of your workers under you in a situation like that only really works if you don’t have a literal family member you should take care of as well. Not bashing Weasley at all 😭just disagree with his point at the end there of the father deserving to die because he was more focused on HIS POSSIBLY DYING SON. Also even to the other people there who didn’t help….umm if I see a crazy man with a knife, I’m running. Non of them there are cops, doctors or EMT so they are not obligated to take care of someone else first, (I mean even doctors are supposed to think of themselves first because if they are hurt, how will they help anyone else?) This movie shows that all the characters are morally grey, there is no “good” or “bad” really and it’s not really made for you to cheer for either side. Did absolutely love this reaction tho, I’m glad to see you guys see more of Woo-shik’s acting. Hoping you watch a movie with Seo-jun starring in it as well.

Here's some fun and (not so fun) facts about the movie! -It would take Ki-woo 540 years to earn enough money to buy the house (South Korea's housing market is insane) -Parasite was the first ever non-english film to win Best Picture at the Oscars, as well as the first South Korean film to win Academy Award recognition -Jinmo Yang, the editor of the film, used Final Cut Pro 7 - an editing program that Apple stopped supporting in 2011, on a computer that hasn't had a software update since 2014. (he received an Oscar nomination for his work haha)

taz

if you watch the flood scene again, you’ll notice the rock that wooshik’s character was gifted floated in the water. it was a fake.

MercedesMelissa

I think you guys missed the part were mrs park was like ‘last nights rain was such a blessing’… like 2 different perspectives a blessing to one family and a curse to another

TY

Also, the mom here is the North Korean mom in Crash Landing...

MercedesMelissa

that part were mr Kim asked the old housekeepers husband how he could live in that bunker and he responded that many people live like this … example …a semi basement… which is what mr Kim lived in so ironic that he is asking someone else how they can live like that There are so many puzzle pieces in this movie that it’ll take multiple watchs to understand it really, I had to watch many times lmao

A!

Is woo-shiks mom here , the same person as Dan's Mom in Crash landing? and the basement Man, Dan's uncle in Crash Landing?

A!

For Wes and Steph :-). them winning!(OSCARS) https://youtu.be/Wg_Ql89fWy4?si=0U99VoBibBYFqZoz https://youtu.be/ekMl5VHBH4I?si=alkXtD7wRs5gcKn3

I agree! The only part I think was shitty on his part was asking his driver to stop applying emergency aide to a victim that they not only knew but acted like they liked. He should have just asked for the keys from the beginning or tried getting Jessica to the hospital as well since they were going there anyways.

bizarre☆azar

A couple of points! 1. the rich mom wasn’t doing drugs, she said that as part of a role play 2. I think y’all came down really hard on the poor mom really fast. She was no worse than anyone else in the family. I think y’all’s point of view on her was cemented when the friend gifted them a rock and she said food would have been better. But she’s right? This rich dude comes over and gifts an unemployed family in poverty a rock that’s supposed to bring wealth. A rock that he also says his grandfather collects and has lying all around the house. It’s not a thoughtful gift, nor a helpful one. It was actually a pretty cruel “gift”. Kind of like when rich people do something for the needy that doesn’t actually help the root problem but they get praise for how charitable and kindhearted they are while the needy are still needy. 3. While the poor family are inarguably bad people, they are so in my mind because of getting people fired that were in a more similar social class as them. You said it yourself, people lie about their resumes all the time. The family lied but then was actually doing all the work the job entailed. (Technically, none of the family were unqualified for their positions in the rich house.) Barring the children. The daughter lying and trying to be a therapist was a step too far. And the son, who I think was the worst in the family. 4. Woo-shik’s character came up with the whole plan to get his family in there. It was him writing the scripts. It was him who discovered the peach allergy. And worst of all he’s a pedophile/groomer. The rich daughter was a high school sophomore. So she was like 15-16. He was someone who did at least eighteen months of military service AND took the college entrance exams four times. If he graduated at eighteen, he would be 23ish. 5. The rich parents crime was that they didn’t see the “help” as people. They acted like they liked Jessica and the housekeeper, but one was stabbed and the other was being attacked and they didn’t care. They could see that Jessica was still alive and that their driver was trying to give emergency aid by keeping pressure on the wound. And the rich dad told the driver to abandon her and go get the car. He only changed and asked for the keys because their driver wasn’t moving. But even after all of that, the poor dad still wasn’t at his breaking point and threw him the keys. It was when this rich dude in this horrible situation took the time to be repulsed by the smell of poor people that he snapped. 6. As the director says “…But if you look at it the other way, you can say that rich family, they're also parasites in terms of labor. They can't even wash dishes, they can't drive themselves, so they leech off the poor family's labor. So both are parasites." 7. Woo-shik’s end plan will never happen. He’ll never make enough money to afford that house. He’ll never rescue his dad. While he and his sister are smart and talented, life itself isn’t going to allow them to benefit from it. They forged documents that weren’t even really looked at. He only got the tutoring job because he knew the right person and got recommended. The rich mom said that she only hires people that are recommended to her by people she knows. So it’s all about connections and not what school you attend or ability. And his sister couldn’t afford cram school and was probably not going to do well academically. She was a talented artist that had no benefit of support from wealthy parents. In contrast, the rich son was pretending to be some genius artist and playing it up (as kids do) but he had all the connections from his parents. If he grew up and never got better at art, he could make a life for himself because he was set for success from birth. 8. The poor dad was the person who kept on making mistakes. He was losing his jobs and wasn’t doing anything to try to help the family. The kids were being proactive in the beginning of the film. And it was the mom who got the pizza box job. It’s implied and I think said in the script, that it was the dad who messed up the boxes and caused them to lose out on 10% of their wages. (Probably because he was doing the boxes in the bug fumigation smoke). He fell and knocked his family down in the basement when they were hiding from the bunker people. He even threw the water on his son instead of the drunk he was aiming for. 9. ??? The rich dad deserves to die because he wasn’t the Protector™️??? I’m with Steph, and don’t agree?

I’m glad y’all are able to talk about the moral greyness of this movie. I doubt you guys will rewatch the whole thing, but I strongly suggest you guys watch a review or a detailed synopsis of the movie. There are SO many metaphors that are cleverly written. And many lessons and takeaways that we can all learn from. I honestly disagree that the main family are bad people. They are desperate and miserable. The actions aren’t justified but idk if I would have a moral compass either if I was in that situation. So it’s hard to say. Anyways, please read up on the details so you can appreciate the movie better :D

Okie

Loved your reaction, and I do agree with the sense of discomfort you feel when/after watching this movie (so many parts of it like the shots, the music...etc were designed to be unsettling and to visually show the class divide, which is testament to how good the movie is). There's no easy moral when it comes to the specific actions of the characters because of the huge systemic inequality that exists (the impact of class inequality is extreme in South Korea where mobility is near impossible even if you do have skills and talent- BTS touches upon this in their earlier music as well, like with Bapsae/Silver-spoon to a certain extent- here's a link to short video explaining the song and its connotations: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RP4Qbh2rXFU ) so it's very likely that this was one of the only ways in which the family could get access to money and opportunity. But of course, it doesn't excuse their actions or how far they went with the scam (including the grooming and the fake diagnosis). I particularly loved how you picked up on the subtle ways in which the Park family despite being 'nice' did not really treat the poor family as humans (equals in a sense), so the whole thing is extremely morally grey (especially the death scenes which were not premeditated and seemed to hinge so much on circumstance and desperation)

thanks! was unsure but thought of it while watching! they were such a comedic duo in crash landing and looked different! Also saw them in one of the Oscars video clips, when they were all dressed up, so was like really thinking it would have been them!

Tarmill

okay very random comment in the middle of watching this but I had to say it: steph telling that wes sends selfies of him/+their daughter made me smile so much ;)

Felipe Rodrigues

its funny how you guys just dont understand irony some times

Felipe Rodrigues

that reaction to the end is kind of frustrating

I’ve seen so many good points made in the comments and lots of great context shared. Esp in how it relates to South Korean society. I won’t comment on the moral ambiguities of the poor families circumstances etc and also how in some countries the social circumstances and class you are born in will predetermine your entire life and path with extraordinary measures needing to be taken to escape it… what I will focus on is what I think the biggest point that could be overlooked is… which I think is the othering of the poor family by the rich family. It’s done so benignly and casually that it causes resentment to slowly bubble under and build. It robs them of their humanity. When people talk about unconscious bias and privilege… the scene with the rain really solidifies privilege and starts to push the dad of the poor family. In one night the poor family loses their entire life, they are displaced… the whole neighbourhood suffers from it so you know it’s a big enough catastrophe to register in society… but for the rich family it doesn’t even register on their radar. To them the rain is simply a blessing because it has brought the sun out so they can have clear air and a party. You know that there will have been news reports etc about it but it goes to show the bubble the rich live in, when natural disasters and displacement from your daily life does not register in their worlds and something they would even consider and that they live in ignorance of unless it affects them directly. Without even knowing the circumstances of their workers from a place of privilege and authority they expect everything to be dropped immediately for them to hold an impromptu party. This not knowing is not an issue, it’s the not wanting to know in the first place and not caring enough to want to know in the first place that is the issue. The final scene with the smell is so powerful because in a time of emergency the rich dad still did not view the others as human and equal… his sensory displeasure and disgust was a more persisting issue to him then the death of a human being. Good and bad is not in my opinion the moral of this story nor whom deserves life or death. I personally think as human beings none of us are ever in a place where we could judge that, as humans we are fallible and very much susceptible to error, with our knowledge of a situation ruling our understanding of it… with so much that could potentially be missing from our knowledge, as we are not perfect nor all knowing then neither can our judgments be. But what I do think is the point of the movie is the gap between the rich and the poor and how your lived experience will determine your viewpoint on it, The lengths that some people who have skills have to go to make ends meet and survive in this capitalist world, versus sometimes the removal from humanity of the rich who view those working for them as tools that they use to have the comfortable life they want to live. It becomes the question of because I pay for your labor your are then like a household item to me that fulfils the function I want you too, akin to a dishwasher or a washing machine while forgetting that at the end of that transaction is not a machine but a real life human being with their own story and their own set of circumstances in life that could affect their fulfilling of their duties. And is this othering right? I think personally neither family is perfect and both either morally or legally in the wrong in certain circumstances and scenarios. I really enjoyed your reaction because of how thoroughly you consider the implications of a characters actions as well as your exploration of what circumstance brought them to that decision, so thank for another great reaction. 💜

Should we have them watch A SILENT VOICE? Its great

Lmao unclench a bit. They're reactors not actual movie critics. Even legitimate reviewers need a second, third or even fourth watch to make a solid review.

izkath

I really appreciate them watching Parasite. And really cool hearing their perspectives on the themes of the movie. I wonder if they should watch something classic like The Veteran (more action and comedy) or Midnight Runners - Seo Jun was here! I watched this a month ago, it was good.

Jennifer Garcia

so i know this is a weird rec and not what you'd usually watch but how do you guys feel about musicals? There's a musical called 'the guy who didn't like musicals' by a theatre company called Team Starkid and it's free on youtube, it's pretty funny if y'all would like to check it out!

Shanuka

this is such a useless fact to add ahaha but the mother (from the poorer family) is the same actor as Dan's mother from Crash Landing On You!

carocatowr

This movie is truly amazing, both parts are parasites, both are wrong and at the same time both are trying to survive

Daniela Miño

this reaction was so good, it is a moral challenging movie, because you have to keep reminding yourself that they are not good people and they should be punished for what they have done. Thank you for reacting, I would recommend a movie called "The call" it is on netflix and I really liked it it's a thriller movie

Jake

You should watch our beloved summer with woo-shik a great k-drama

Flora

There's definitely a lot of subtext. I think you have to pay attention to the nonchalant callousness of the rich family and how they say one thing and mean another but because they're rich and powerful, they don't get questioned about it. For example, think of the way the rich dad says it's not a test during the first ride in the car when the poor dad is driving and how he is holding the coffee to see how steadily he takes the corners...or the insistence on how people they see as 'the help' shouldn't 'cross the line', but they can request things (like telling the poor dad to dress up as an Indian) because they're paying him for it so he should shut up and just get on with it. It's also interesting to see that the rich mum is portrayed as 'simple' and 'airheaded' to reinforce that she hasn't gotten to this high status through skills - she was just lucky enough to be born into it. Whereas for the 2 poor families, they're doing horrible things to essentially fight for 'the scraps' or what the rich family take for granted. Both poor families are actually doing the jobs they are being paid to do (except Jessica who actually spends time with Dasong, which is all he really wants). However, they don't even have the audacity to hope that one day they will be legitimately in the rich family's position of wealth and status...because the gentrification of the society has made hierarchical structures so inflexible that even people who work hard to achieve a better quality of life cannot actually get there. The metaphors of the basement family, the semi-basement family and the rich 'above ground' family are also an interesting. People from the basement don't even see light so they don't hope for a life 'in the light'. People in the semi-basement living arrangement are stuck in that environment, but can see light and people's lives on the surface level. People on the surface and above don't even look down, just like how people don't look at whether they're stepping on ants when walking on the street...because they're 'insignificant'. The end also reinforces that and brings you back to what the poor dad said about plans. There is no possibility of that plan coming into fruition. There's also the recurring motif of the smell and the lack of interest that the rich family have in anything 'lower' than themselves grates on the poor dad's nerves as opposed to the old housekeeper and her husband who don't even feel the discrimination. They are even thankful that they are able to survive by living off the rich family rather than questioning why they can't get rid of their debt or survive in the world with proper housing and citizenship. All in all, I think the movie makes you question who is really the parasite of such a society. The poor family which accepts their position and lives off others gratefully like how beggars beg on streets? The main poor family who work hard but wish for something more and actively rely on manipulations to attain a more comfortable life? Keep in mind that they were still talking about marrying into the rich family and such but they never talked about stealing the rich family's money or identities. And then there's the question of whether these rich people are the parasites of society as they suck up more than they need in material wealth...and they reinforce their superiority by looking down on people below their means and don't give them a second thought as long as they themselves are fine... Whose parasitic nature has a bigger impact on society as a whole? I'll leave you to answer those questions for yourselves. 😉

I recommend Extreme Job 😊 funny and action movie 🎬

I loved how different your reactions were at different points in the movie, it really shows how different people will derive their own messages from the same story! I love hearing your perspective as parents as well, like with Train to Busan, its very interesting how Wes said watching the movie before getting married and having kids his opinion would be totally different. It was cool how you said the differences in how the story would go in an American movie, because the poor family would be the morally right people and do nothing bad, and the rich family would have some skeletons in the closet that we figure out later. I think it is fun to put stories like these on a moral grey scale, because even though we like to say there is a "good" and "bad" side, but the movie does a good job of showing that nothing is blavl-and-white; especially with all the shots that make you think something is going to happen, and the small subtle clues that are dropped throughout the film. Sidenote: When Ki-woo "died" I screamed out loud and paused this reaction for a solid 10 minutes 😭. I was so happy at the fact that he was alive by the end. And in the end I do feel bad for both of the families, I don't know why, some of the points just make me feel bad for them, because they are trying to get out of the place they're at, using the skills they have, and that unfortunately means taking advantage and manipulating the rich family. Anndddd this is a long enough comment, I could go on and on as a Pysch major 😅 but I won't.

Timea Betáková

Simply put, I feel like the whole point of this movie is to show how capitalism is the real enemy

morela

when i first watched this movie the comment about downpour being a blessing made the biggest impression on me. since the start we see the rich family being incosiderate and kinda selfish, but this particular comment was a confirmation of that. money and status blinded them and skewed the way in they view other people and the world in general. being poor or possibly an addict is a weird fetish for them, dirty fantasy that will never came true. they disdain not only poor people and their poor people smell but also just regular people who ride the subway. yet their beautiful house would basically fall apart without the employees. they basically only think about themselves and although its not a crime it makes them very unlikeable and hard to root for, at least for me. the biggest priviledge of this family (and being rich in general i gues) is not having a big house, nice clothes, expensive car, private tutors. its the ability to be completly ignorant to everything that doesnt directly impact you. they're not stereotypical caricatures of rich people that we see in some shows or movies tho, which I aprreciate. still, they did manage to personify major flaws that a lot of rich people have

morela

also i did bash the rich family so i gotta say something about the others too. for me the real parasite of this movie is capitalism, class system, society™ and its rules. i dont know how to exacly call it but it poisons brains of the characters. Wooshik's family had a taste of luxury for couple hours tops, but when they find the man in the basement they're disgusted. even though their situition and life arent that different. the situation flips as soon as the previous housekeeper and her husband get the upper hand (a photo to blackmail). now Wooshik's family are the roaches. the married couple say that they're the ones who see and undestand the artistic vision of the architect. they had a taste of luxury and power and feel above the family. both families fight but... they should work together, dont they?. that would make sense. in another movie they'd join forces to "eat the rich". both families have experiences in scamming. im like 93% sure that id would work flawlessly. but they've all been poisoned by the parasite. they dont see that they're in similar situations, that working together would be beneficial, each of them doesnt want to be at the bottom. you can be poor, but you dont want to be the poorest. everyone has the sense of pride and i think that sometimes pride is all you have left. i guess pride can be a parasite as well

Jillian Johnson

I remember when I first watched this being so heartbroken at the end because they really make you feel like he managed to become something and be able to save his family and then they show you that this is just his plan and we know it reality how unlikely that this will ever actually happen. My heart hurts watching it still. Like they weren't good people but they were very human.
