PARASITE (2019, dir. Bong Joon-Ho)

pyropian

i know it’s already been discussed and will continue to be discussed for decades, but i’m losing my shit over how masterful bong joon ho is with his recurring metaphor of the “line” that separates rich and poor. the father of the park family says this about the people he hires who dont know their place:

and in the scene in the gifset above you can see the housekeeper’s hesitation to literally cross the line, which she immediately gets back on the left side of.

some other examples of “the line,” usually represented through window frames:

when the peeing drunk “crosses the line,” ki-woo’s rich friend promptly yells at him to put him back in his place

ki-taek respectfully remains on his side of the line, playing the obedient driver to his boss

and during this scene near the midpoint of the film, the entire kim family is crossing the line by hanging out in their employers’ house, and ki-woo literally has his body between two worlds

anyway if this movie doesnt get best picture at the oscars i’m rioting

I recently saw a meme on Facebook that said something along the lines of “how to make a millennial panic: lock them in a room with only a phone book and a rotary phone and write the instructions in cursive!” It had this smug “aha, gotcha” vibe oozing out of it, and it…just sort of made me laugh. Like, really? Really? But it also made me think…

Beyond the fact that I know how to use both a phone book and a rotary phone and can read cursive (as long as it’s not too horrifically messy), I think it was the attitude of “Oh no, we’ve got you because you couldn’t possibly figure out how to use something that’s new to you” that really made me snort. But I think that’s the key to this and similar memes that I’ve seen.

They don’t think we could figure out how to use something new to us, because they can’t do it.

Like, if you presented a millennial with a rotary phone or a phone book and they had never, ever used one or seen one used before, I can guarantee pretty much any millennial could figure out how to use it. Because that’s what we do: we adapt. We’ve been through so many variations of technology and seen so many new forms of technology emerge that we’ve had to learn to adapt swiftly and fluidly. It’s second nature to us.

Put a boomer in a room with a smartphone, laptop, and tablet however, and well…different story.

I’m not sure if they literally don’t understand that presenting a millennial with something they haven’t encountered before would not be an obstacle and certainly not a panic-inducing one, or if they just say things like that to make themselves feel better that they couldn’t do the equivalent, or if it’s a combination of the above.

I just realized that the original meme is also, quite accidentally, basically describing the principle behind….. escape rooms.

You know, the recent popular trend in participatory entertainment in which thousands of millennials literally go out and pay money to voluntarily be locked in a room where they have to solve puzzles under a time pressure, often using antiquated or analog technology, secret codes, and mechanisms they don’t yet understand, all without using their phones/the internet. For fun.

For many of us, that’s not panic-inducing, that’s just our idea of an enjoyable Saturday night out with some friends!

Now I’m just laughing even harder.

Speaking as someone who used to work at an escape room? YEP. YEPS. THIS. The millennials and gen-z kids were ALWAYS faster and ALWAYS more comfortable and having fun. They’d identify the problems, divvy them up, and get to work. The boomers? “I don’t understand this. I don’t get it. I don’t see why we’re doing this, Helen!!!!!” and then someone would have a tantrum and sit in the corner with their arms crossed. They’d be obsessed with everyone working on every single problem together, and arguing about it (too many cooks in the kitchen) and if someone managed to solve a puzzle on the other side of the room, the boomers ALWAYS give them hostile interrogations about how they did it, wasting their time. Millennials and Gen Z? “Oh, you solved that!? GREAT, what’s the answer?” and they’d just accept that the person had gotten the right answer.

What I don’t get is … I’m a millennial. And I’m 32. How young do they think we ARE? How long ago do they think these things were commonplace?

Cursive? Learned it in elementary school!

Phone books? I know my first apartment definitely had one - which I actually did use - and that was only 2007 or so.

Rotary phone? I can’t say for certain if I ever used one properly, but I seem to recall being very young and some adult or other snapping at me to stop playing with it. I know that I saw them in real life AND saw them being used in movies/on tv, and I understand the principle.

Baby boomers really think that all children are Millennials still when the oldest Gen Z kids are about to turn 20.

I got really confused for a second, because 3 of them are wearing the same shirt, but my mind thought it was a panorama shot of one person, like those pics of dogs running
