    Wasn't a fan of the movie, but good price

    • diamondd on 24/01/2021 - 17:52

      yeah, its exceptionally well made, but a bit too cynical for my liking.

      • Griffindinho on 24/01/2021 - 20:29

        Why?

        It showcases the growing wealth & income equality in South Korea

        • Andard on 25/01/2021 - 10:08

          Very dark humour. I can see why people didn't like it.

          I loved it. I also loved snowpiercer and okja

      • visitor123 on 29/01/2021 - 14:30

        dark films usually leave me slightly depressed so i tend to avoid regardless of the actual content but i still do want to watch it one day

    It's also $4 at Amazon with free Prime delivery.

    Great film but I can't imagine buying standard definition anything in 2021. Blu-Ray is 11 bucks at Amazon and JB and 4K HDR download is $9.99 at Apple.

      Not the movie 'Parasite'. He's talking about an actual parasite. Like, as in the organism!!

      Brilliant.

    Be a real parasite and borrow it from your local library. Not likely to watch it twice anyway.

    • alcadive on 25/01/2021 - 09:43

      It's a great film that I think would benefit from at least one rewatch.

      It’s available in Argentina, Columbia, Japan, Mexico, and Thailand. You just need a working VPN. I’ve already watched it on Netflix.

    Blu Ray is also $4 at Big W in-store if you can find it.

    Only saw 2 copies at one store at the start of the month though, so probably pretty difficult.

    Enter the Spider-Verse was also $4 on Blu Ray

    Another K film worth watching is I Saw the Devil. Incredible.

      i saw the devil is a masterpiece!

    • Aerith-Waifu on 24/01/2021 - 18:35

      Is that the movie where a pregnant girl is chopped into pieces and her head was found by a cop holding it with lots of reporters chasing it? If so I hated the violence in that movie

      • Slappie on 24/01/2021 - 18:48

        Yep, that's the one!

      • Jay Nomad on 24/01/2021 - 18:58

        It depicts the disgusting human nature in a raw perspective. Yes I have some love and hatred about this movie

      The Wailing is another good one.

        Yup, absolutely brilliant. Mother, another of Bong Joon Ho's films, is seriously underrated. Starts off slow but swear this is a gem

        • RichDad PoorSon on 24/01/2021 - 21:48

          isn't mother by Darren Aronofsky?

    • bio on 25/01/2021 - 10:00

      Another one worth watching is Old Boy. Warning: It's pretty dark (not too gory though) and not everyone might like it. On the other hand it's a cinematic masterpiece.

      • RichDad PoorSon on 25/01/2021 - 14:19
        +1

        they made a Hollywood version of Old Boy, in which you can see Wanda Maximoff half naked *wink2. Surprisingly storyline pretty much didnt devieate much from the original.

        • bio on 25/01/2021 - 14:33

          Haven't seen that version but looking at its IMDB score I'd rather not. I'm surprised to hear that they dared to keep the same storyline in a Hollywood production though.

      Way way better than most of the American junks on tv these days.

      You need to understand the minds behind it.

      For example: for the rich a rain is just a bit of inconvenience, but for the poor it’s almost a wipe out…..

      12 negs for having a contrary opinion…."oh the humanity".

      Thought it was well done (Korea has the technicals down to a fine art usually) but not particularly rivetting myself. The flood scene was standout, the rest….Kdrama.

    • WeeDeePotato on 24/01/2021 - 19:42

      Agree. I understand the premise of the plot but ultimately the main family didn't have any redeeming features to at least make them morally grey characters.

      Another Korean movie with a somewhat similar premise was The Handmaiden but was much more enjoyable as it had complex characters and better twists.

      • Meconium on 25/01/2021 - 12:09

        The Handmaiden also had hot lesbian sex scenes

  • AustriaBargain on 24/01/2021 - 19:09

    How long until they make an English dub of this so we can gift it to our blind relatives who have wanted to see what all the fuss was about for a long time now?

  • ankor on 24/01/2021 - 19:52

    Is it better than the joker??

    • Aerith-Waifu on 24/01/2021 - 20:13
      +8

      Way more deep in meaning, joker is nothing special. It doesn't really explain the character that well. I think an old movie by Michael Douglas called 'fallen down' has far more character development

      • vinnycol on 24/01/2021 - 20:23
        +2

        Falling down and yes, agreed…

      • ankor on 25/01/2021 - 13:43

        Thanks.

        I heard a lot of good things about Black Panther and how great it was. It was one of the most unsubtle, hamfisted plotlines I've ever come across so I wasn't expecting much from the joker, even though it's a DC production and not a marvel product. Same with Wonderwoman, which injected an admittedly gorgeous actress who was very good in her fight scenes but terrible in her line delivery.

        I've gone partway through Parasite, but not watched the joker. I thought Parasite was incredibly smart, but also a little slow.

        I'll have to revisit them both again sometime to reconsider.

        Edit- Michael B Jordan is so much better in Just Mercy. I was also looking forward to Black Panther 2 despite my criticisms above.

    • alcadive on 25/01/2021 - 09:46

      Joker is one of the worst movies I've seen recently and Parasite is one of the best, so I'd say yes.

    I enjoy a wide range of films and can usually identify how others can enjoy films that I can't get into. But Snowpiercer feels like such a C grade movie, I honestly cannot comprehend why its 94% on Rotten Tomatoes, I watched it all the way to the end some years ago and still regret the time it took from me.

    • alcadive on 25/01/2021 - 09:53
      +3

      I agree to some extent, I might give it a C+. Remember that the Rotten Tomatoes score just indicates that 94% of critics gave it a positive rating, not that they give it 94/100 as a score. The Metascore of 84 is more of an aggregate critic score and I'd still say that's too high. The IMDb and RT crowd ratings of ~7/10 are a bit more palatable.

      • Dollarsandsense on 25/01/2021 - 11:25
