What is a parasite?

The film Parasite tells the story of a poor family of four. My son and daughter failed in the college entrance examination and were unemployed at home. Their family lived in a dark basement and earned a small living income by folding pizza cartons by hand.

By chance, my brother Yuji successfully applied for a job as a tutor in a wealthy family through a forged college diploma. He took this opportunity to disguise his sister Keating as a senior artist, and her sister Keating became an artistic mentor of a rich family. Then, their parents went into the rich family after packaging, so all four of them were parasitic in the rich family.

Their family just borrowed the simplicity of the rich.

Everyone can feel the comfort of life from the pictures.

However, in any case, their behavior is still a crime. Just like "there is no perfect crime" and "if you want others to know, you have to do it yourself", lies will eventually be exposed.

In the end, a smell, a heavy rain, a few lights and a birthday party broke their best plan. Around the birthday party, Wen Guang died, Keating died, and the rich man's master died, but the father who killed the man's master started another unspeakable basement life. ......

I prefer the situation that my father, son and daughter live in the stadium after the heavy rain, because their original home (basement) was flooded.

The son asked his father that we were discovered by Aunt Wenguang. What's your plan?

Dad replied, my plan is that there is no plan. Life will never go according to plan. Look here (people who are forced to sleep on the court because of heavy rain). Are all these people going to sleep in the gym together? But now, including us, everyone sleeps on the floor together.

This reminds me that the plan hasn't changed so quickly. It also reminds me of this epidemic.

Everything we do should have a plan. Not only plan A, but also plan B. If nothing happens in the plan, then there is something wrong with your plan.

Dad's words are the most attractive part of the whole film. Although there is no picture of everyone running down the steps in the rain, I think this is "the power of language, the power of words."

Their family went from underground to heaven and from heaven to underground, perhaps because of greed.

If it weren't for greed, Kiyu and his family would have a good life; Keating wouldn't have died if it weren't for greed; If it is not greed, the happy life of the rich family will not be broken; If it is not because of greed, it is a parasite of happiness.

Greed is something that people in it don't feel dangerous. They often only see the positive side and are carried away by interests.

To the onlookers, every kind of greed is dangerous. Deception made the Yuji family taste the sweetness, and also made them "deceived", thinking that they could enjoy the luxury life by deception. They don't know that every time the sweetness is obtained by deception, there is a price behind it.

This movie reminds me too much. ......

Outsiders, living, selfish genes, Busan trip, flu, dying for survival, this black boy is not too cold. They all reveal human nature and pay attention to reality. Every book, or every movie, is a torture to our hearts!
