The 2020 Academy Award Best Picture winner, Parasite, is recognized as one of the best movies to release in 2019. Its symbolism, acting and story has made it become a favorite in many people’s eyes. The story and violence, however, have been critiqued as strange.
Parasite’s underlying reflection on today’s society and its professional way of expressing it has been acknowledged by many critics and viewers. The movie shows the increasing gap between the upper, middle and lower classes. Its intelligent use of different angles and construction symbolizes the ignorance of upper classes and the struggles of lower classes. Although the plot of the movie is layered and meant to signify a bigger picture, its violent scenes and confusing moments can be unnerving.
Receiving an incredibly high critic score of 99% Rotten Tomatoes, others share the same opinion that Parasites captivating storytelling and suspenseful moments are just some of the reasons for Parasite’s success
