This film is good for cultured intellectuals who like movies with a deeper meaning, with themes that question society and discuss class discrimination, it targets more on the viewers' morals and not the cinematic experience. However, it may be difficult to understand themes and plot as this more of a "show not tell" film. Recommended for those who prefer films about morals rather than a strong plot.

Absolute masterpiece. The acting is subtle and the actors embody their characters. Parasite also has a deep meaning and explores the wealth gap in society without forcing it on the audience in unnaturally. There has never been a twist done as well as the one in Parasite (no spoilers), and it is best to go in to the movie without any prior knowledge about it. It is an experience, and Bong Joon Ho masterfully brings the audience along for the ride. Wonderfully paced, skilfully written, and incorporating a bit of each movie genre, Parasite is not a movie to miss.

The gap between the poor and the rich is destroying peace our society, it is tragic and unfortunately it will exist forever in our society.
