Has anyone watched it yet?
I honestly also haven't had the chance to watch. However, if I see some comments from the audience that I have attended, I will become more interested in watching. For those who have not watched like me and still want more about this film, I will share some information that can be warmed up before you watch the movie directly in the cinema.
Dark comedy genre
Even though it's called Parasite, but it's not about zombie zombies and the like. Dark comedy parasite. The story itself, when seen from the synopsis, will tell about an unemployed member. One time the oldest child in this family got a job to become an expensive tutor. This certainly brings hope to their families. However, who would have thought, when he came to the family home that would hire him as a tutor, this eldest son met a young woman from the house who later this meeting began a series of other events that changed his life.
Received a prestigious award
Parasite has won the Palme d'Or award at this year's Cannes Film Festival. Parasite has also won top prizes at the 2019 Sydney Film Festival. The film has also been invited to three other international film festivals such as the Munich International Film Festival in Germany, the Locarno Film Festival in Switzerland and the Lumiere Film Festival in France.
Song Kang Ho, one of the casts of the film, was also awarded at the Locarno Film Festival in Switzerland as the Excellence Award Festival, making it the first Asian actor to obtain this achievement.
