Finally got around to watching Parasite. Wow...

not what I expected. For whatever reason I've been putting this off for some time but MAX really wanted me to watch this because it was always on my home screen. The basic movie description never made me want to watch it but I watched the trailer and decided to give it a shot.

For almost half the movie I was thinking yea this is more frustrating than good because the family were just terrible people taking advantage of others and semi ruining lives. Fell asleep watching it the first night.

*starting spoilers*

But then then the old housekeeper shows up and it becomes an hour and 15 minutes of stress and madness. When the housekeeper starts trying to push open the hidden basement door/cabinet I was like ok this is interesting. Then the husband is down there and I'm ok this is real interesting. Then the family falls down the stairs and I'm all in.

It was really dumb for the family to follow them down the stairs. Everything probably could have been avoided if they didn't do that but I get wanting to know wth is going on. The scene where the family had to hide under the table almost all night when the rich family is talking about the dad and having a kinky fondling session was pretty jacked up, felt bad for the dad there.

The climax at the party is probably going to stick with me more than any part of a movie in recent memory. As crazy as it was it still felt very realistic. I don't think the dad was justified at all though in killing the husband. Yes you felt sorry for him that he had been made fun of for smelling, but it's not like he fired you and he actually respected you pretty good and that family was the reason your entire family was able to start to live a better life. Madness.

I'm done. Glad I decided to watch it. One of the better movies of the past 5 years or more. Going to watch Memories of a Murder next. Same director and looks to have a True Detective S1 feel to it.
