      It was boring for an hour and a bit and then it smacks you unexpectedly and all the different clever layers come through at once. Very few movies make you leave the cinema quietly trying to process it all in your head. Good movie indeed.

        Upvoted you. Ohh i actually liked the 1st hour. Love the story of the rock and how it changed the family’s lifestyle at the initial stage. The ending bit, was unbearable. I couldn’t look.

        I thought it was gripping from the very beginning. The movie had so much dialogue but they told it so nicely that it didn't feel boring to me. And I'm usually very easily bored with movie with lots of dialogue. Its probably also because I know there's twist coming, so it was all just building up to the anticipation of that twist.

        Honest note, I thought initially it had to do with zombies… lol

          Kimchi essentially half of the Korean diet.

          Kimchi (/ˈkɪmtʃiː/; Korean: 김치, romanized: gimchi, IPA: [kim.tɕʰi]), a staple in Korean cuisine, is a famous traditional side dish of salted and fermented vegetables, such as napa cabbage and Korean radish, made with a widely varying selection of seasonings including gochugaru (chili powder), spring onions, garlic, ginger, and jeotgal (salted seafood), etc. It is also used in a variety of soups.(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kimchi)

      I think the "wow" factor is from the movie showcasing how the "bottom" lived and exposing that world. The movie brought that issue to light (the director is a "socialist"). The cinematography was on point.

      The question is: who are the parasites?

      I found it hard to side with the Kim family because they were so morally depraved. But I got annoyed with the Park family because of their ignorance.

        Compared to the trash that comes out of Hollywood these days, I can understand why this movie would beat all those crap movies and win the Oscar. Not saying this movie is a life changing movie for me but I can't remember the last time a decent movie came out of Hollywood.

        Joker for example was one of the worst movies I've seen. So bloody boring for the entire length of the movie. It started slow and never got interesting. Compared to crap like that, this movie kept me intrigued. There are nuances you won't follow if you are not a Korean obviously.

    • mrvaluepack on 15/05/2020 - 15:53

      Agree with you. Good movie but IMHO I think 1917 should have won the best picture at the oscar instead of parasite.

    It's a bit unfair to be calling a movie 'hype' or 'overrated' because you, personally, didn't enjoy it or didn't think it was that great. Yes, most people watch movies for enjoyment, but if that were my yardstick I'd be calling dozens and dozens of critically acclaimed movies overrated even though I've never studied film and don't know much about film.

    • Kangal on 15/05/2020 - 10:25
      +1

      No, you're right many "critically acclaimed" movies are overrated. The films cost hundreds of millions to make, because a large part of that cost is to buy positive reviews, and buy awards from the industry, and also to do marketing.

      You can notice this striking when looking at Rotten Tomatoes between "critic scores" and "audience scores". Most of the time, the critic scores are just rubbish, and the audience scores is more meaningful.

  • Ninternet on 14/05/2020 - 20:34

    Dumb question, but if I bought this, how might I go about watching it on a TV? I have a Hisense so it's not properly an Android TV, but also have an Xbox One. Would it play through that?

    • MillennialAvoMash on 14/05/2020 - 20:49

    • Kaidra on 14/05/2020 - 21:19

      If you buy a movie on Google Play Movies you can (generally) go to YouTube on Xbox and watch it there.

    • AustriaBargain on 14/05/2020 - 21:31

      My Hisense TV has the Stan app built in. I think all the inbuilt apps are capable of 4K. You should look into the app for your phone that lets you use as the remote because the buttons Hisense remote are annoyingly clickly.

    • turbodude on 14/05/2020 - 21:48

      Just open the youtube app on your hisense TV, log into youtube inland go to purchases. Works well.

    The movie is objectively very good - good characters with award-winning acting, interesting script and dialogue, great cinematography, plot twists that are unpredictable but believable, every box is checked. However this doesn't mean everyone will like it. Some people just prefer watching things such as Spiderman and Twilight…

        The Lighthouse definitely should have been nominated for cinematography. Best Picture though? I'm not so sure.

        It was a good movie, but not Best Picture quality.

    • CEO Rachel Jake on 14/05/2020 - 21:22

    • pull the lever on 14/05/2020 - 21:50

      Rated MA15+ on the Apple TV store.
      Labelled ‘comedy’ on the Google Play store.
      So it seems you can’t really define the movie clearly (and by Western/Hollywood standards). But upon its runtime, the tone and nature does introduce the violent and somewhat gory parts appropriately. No cheap jump scares from my memory.

    Do people still buy movies "to own"? Serious question (Keep in mind I don't even Netflix and chill, I'm more of an outdoorsy and study-for-fun type of person).

    • AngusD on 15/05/2020 - 08:20

      Yes, I do. I still buy most of them on physical media, too, although I also occasionally buy digital ones when they're cheap (like this Google sale which has a LOT of good movies for $5-$10). Netflix doesn't have every movie, and the movies that are there don't stay there forever (except the Netflix Originals ones). So if I want to be able to watch one of my favourite movies when I want then I need to own my own copy, because Netflix etc could remove it tomorrow.

    • diamondd on 15/05/2020 - 09:01

      certainly not on platforms like this, but of course people who like movies have some sort of collection. Netflix is mostly garbage most of the time, and the stuff you want to watch comes around about as often as Haley's comet.

    • RaaRaa on 15/05/2020 - 21:52

      Yes, every now and then I buy to own. Google Play have regular sale and you can find some great movies in HD for under $10. I also got Netflix but as others point out, with Netflix it can get boring to sift through soo much of junk to be able to find something good to watch. Your own digital collection complements very well with a streaming service like Netflix.

      I don’t really understand why some people prefer watching English dubbed versions of foreign movies. To me, dubbed versions just ruin the essence of emotions portrayed by the actors.
