It starts off fine. It's well made and interesting. Then it progressively gets better and better until I was yelling near the end. It's not often that a movie surprised me so much but this was fantastic. One of the best of the year.
Edit: Even better after a rewatch. Incredibly well made. The production design on that house is amazing. It's shot beautifully. The story is bonkers and set up so well. The acting is fantastic.
It was fascinating and totaly engrossing from beginning to end. It is too hard to get bored even a second !
FUCK YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAH!

This isn't my favorite movie, but after watching it twice I cannot find anything wrong with it, or anything to improve on. Amazing movie
One of my best Movie, The script is so good & original new & so well played . You will have great fun watching this movies...
Not only a freaking GREAT movie, PARASITE (2019) it's also MIRACULOUS.
I still can't believe my mother actually stayed awake watching avidly the screen. Usually she's asleep 20 minutes into any kind of movie lol
I had been waiting to see this for weeks and expectations could not have been higher, so I was a little wary of disappointment when I sat down. I needn't have worried - within a few minutes Bong Joon-ho had his hooks into me and I was engrossed every step of the way until almost the very end. I am sitting and wondering where in my top 10 films ever this would fit. The plot was exquisitely worked out and while it had important themes they didn't undermine the sheer enjoyment of watching it unfold. Much of that pleasure was in the uncertainty over what would happen next, reinforced by a number of red herrings scattered along the way. I could easily have enjoyed watching a miniseries of this story that fully tugged on all the narrative threads. It was also beautiful to watch throughout. If I have one reservation it is the ending [spoiler]where it felt there were a number of better earlier finishing points and the final scene was rather flat[/spoiler]. I am sure it would be even more effective on the big screen but don't let that put you off seeing it now - preferably "with" friends. You'll want to discuss it afterwards and then go and see it together again on the big screen to catch all the details you missed!
AMERICA UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES ARE YOU TO EVEN **_CONSIDER_** REMAKING THIS MASTERPIECE.
it'# very Nice to see jokerS fans crying hahahhaha
PARASITE explores the survival instinct and the centuries-long clash of the classes in one of the most unconventional ways in cinema history; the plot follows a street-smart family taking hold of a wealthy family using lies and pretentions with brutal consequences leading to an unimaginable twist. From the very beginning, PARASITE is a tale of greed embued in the worst aspects of the social classes with a selection of brilliantly written characters, raw acting and excellent locations; this is a story that goes into extremely dark places when the plot reveals a shocking twist, but in the end, that very same darkness that surrounds this story creates a macabre masterpiece and one of the best films of 2019 and hell, even the decade.
