How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A meticulously plotted dark comedy that builds from peculiar family scheming into something far more unsettling, revealing the violent fractures beneath polite society. Every carefully arranged detail snaps into brutal clarity by the end.

the very first month of this year feels like an eternity away.
thats when i watched every bong joon ho film, my first few foreign films.
it opened a gate to more movies, i shouldn't contain myself to just english films.
i heard allot of buzz about this movie even before watching it for the first time.
im glad someone recommended me to watch bong's films.
because now im watching allot of foreign films.
even if its a generic opinion, this is still my favorite foreign film.
i know i've changed my number 4 favorite movie allot these past few weeks but thats because 4-7 on my list of favorites are incredible close.
there all so amazing so i don't know wich one to choose.should i choose come and see?
should i choose parasite?
should i choose look back?
or should i choose high and low?longlegs, clerks 2 and the thing are definitly solidified as my top 3 but as for my 4th favorite, its a hard choice.
idk what is to say about this film, its all been told and documented.
its a phenomonal film about being rich and poor.
do i fully understand the meaning behind everything?
no.
do i know what it tries to convey?
yes.
its brilliant that even as our set of main character grow more and more into worse people, you still realize that they don't have allot of options but they also don't have to go about it in this way.
the rich family is sympathetic because the poor family like PARASITES attach them to this rich family and their money but then you think....does this rich family care about people like our main characters?
i love bong joon ho and his films.
im so excited for mickey 17.
it shouldn't have taken the academy to make a foreign film the best picture winner this long
