The parasite is a story about a mutual relationship between two families.

It begins off as a
comedy story about swindlers — specifically, the Kim family, who aren't yet penniless and are
on their way. The four of them, two parents and two schoolchildren who can't afford college, live
in a dirty, half-underground apartment. To view what's going on on the sidewalk right outside,
they have to stare out their high windows. The Kims struggle financially, folding pizza boxes to
earn their living and chase wifi connections from the coffee shop next door. They open their
windows when the odor eliminator comes by to spray the streets, hoping to kill some of the pests
who live there with them.

The parasite is a bitter, did think a play about inequality. Bong's films are incredibly funny and
absurd, touching on comedy before becoming violent. There are no true heroes, but there are a
few real enemies; individuals do terrible things to one another, but you understand why.
Everyone in a Bong Joon-ho film is a victim of their situation, at least in some ways. They're
basically organisms living in an ecosystem they can't possibly control, or to put it another way,
they're pieces in a much greater machine. Parasite feels like the film that the director has spent
his entire career preparing to make. It's a film about modern life's terrible, brutal humor, in which
some people get to live in the open while others are forced into the shadows, yet everyone is
drinking each other's lifeblood. The interesting part of analyzing Parasite is figuring out who the
title refers to and why they're the parasite in this story.

Parasite is both fun and thought-provoking. You believe you've reached the end of the movie by
the time the climax approaches, but a conclusion throws a fresh twist into the scene.
