PARASITE - A reflection paper, as to how it goes when we were in our Primary School days.
It is 6 in the morning and I've recently watched this movie, hence I would really need to write this down or this idea might get off my brain when I wake up later.
The movie is 9/10. 1 is because; I was really confused at first and when I'm halfway there, I can see from a different perspective how did they come up with every detailed scene that they can the director can show us.
I was really impressed with how did they come up with the deets of the following:
The Argument of the Poor People
It was really called a parasite for a reason. At first, I really thought that the parasite was the poor people (spoiler alert to those who did not watch it yet!) but I came to the realization of, both rich & poor people are the parasites in this movie.
It's quite obvious that the movie is about poverty and capitalism. The rich family is not described as the antagonists, but in their naivety and casual entitlement, their parasitic nature is laid bare! On the other hand, the poor ones were struggling to "praise" and even fight just to get a hold of these rich folks' scrap of meat just so they can survive their entire morality.
The film seems to be a concept of education, intelligence, and determination providing class mobility. Is it by nature or nurture?
