Parasite
LMAO! Now that is something I would like to see XD
First of all, the Academy Awards (Oscars) are just too out of touch with what audiences are into nowadays. They dont nominate good movies, just the "OSCAR-worthy" movies. That's an elitist barrier that a lot of frankly groundbreaking, novel movies just cant compete (and neither should they).
FUN FACT: For a movie to be nominated, it has to fulfill some really obtuse criteria. Some being:
1. They should perform well at the box office (irrelevant, because there are just a LOT of good movies who don't perform that well financially)
2. They should perform a two week run at a particular county in Hollywood, LA (this is just the academy being self-aggrandizing of their elitist standard)
3. They should be nominated by the members of the Academy (which consist of mostly aging, white actors, who are mostly male - which is why 'technically' superior movies are rarely ever considered, and 'ACTING' becomes the arbitration)
There are many other reasons than just these. My point being, the director of PARASITE ran a massive "For your consideration" campaign, in the same way that the "Oscar-Baiting" studios do. He even fulfilled those minimum requisites I mentioned before.
It is however sad that the Academy gave the movie so many Oscars, as a token of diverse representation - you see, Oscar viewership has been dropping massively over the last decade.
Parasite (2019) is a metaphorically driven critique of modern class warfare. It prods you in the end to think - who is really the Parasite? The rich, or the poor?
Watched Parasite today in theater.
Didn't want to lose this opportunity to watch a Korean cinema in the big screen.
Not sure if ever any other Korean movie would release in India (they come on film festivals I agree but not in such theaters)
b/w, I wonder if Sony Max or Zee Cinema would start showing dubbed Korean movies (one character speaking in Bhojpuri being mandatory)!!!
