>>2129>>2132Parasite was good, maybe not amazing. I certainly found myself pondering it for several days trying to come to what I thought about it. I viewed it as quite against Marxist ideas at first. It seemed to be trying to say that people who use rhetoric about "the people/working class united" will always inevitably betray you. By a few days later it occurred to me that it might be trying to show how the anti working class rhetoric is corrupt and turns people against each other for no good reasons, never ended up deciding but I think the latter is more likely. Snowpiercer is still easily the best of the 3 films OP mentioned.

I am conflicted about it. If I was being perfectly honest, I'd probably even say it's bad, however it being leftypilled saves it somewhat at least. My big issue is that it sacrifices good plot for political / ideological analysis that is supposed to relate to the current day. I don't mind a film doing that, however I'd say it fucks up with the ideology as well. So I will go in to these separate problems in 2 paragraphs.
First is the movie if we take it at face value as a sci-fi story detached from our own cultural reality. Well, it's pretty shit and basically Divergent / Maze-Runner (or whatever the fuck it was called where they run away from a robo-maze into a post apocalypse scenario) sci-fi dystopia plot. Villains are comically evil, there is a random betrayal moment at the end that leads to nothing and the ending feels like shit, since right before it was established that the snow will pass, so it feels like the main character totally fucked up and killed everyone instead of waiting a year more. Oh and add in the stupid shit too like how the train structure is dysfunctional or the fucking glass shooting scene.
However, most of that can be forgiven, especially when you consider most of it is symbolism to reflect to the real world. However, and this can be just me, the ideology falls flat for me, especially since at first I thought it was actually going the right way. Basically it all comes together with the final confrontation with Elon Musk stand-in. Up to that point all we saw were a) scenes of total contrast in the train and b) a few lines about "keeping the balance". Musk explains his view for why things should be as they are. It is 1 to 1 Holism. (I think there are different definitions of what Holism is, but I am specifically referring to the one pioneered by Jan Smuts, an anglo imperialist governor of South Africa. He, abusing the theory of ecosystems, came up to the conclusion that viewing humanity as an eco-system there are ways of insuring that it maintains total stability, with the "stability" of course being the insured imperialist hegemony of Britain. Almost the same ideas where started being promoted in second half of 20th century for ecology, saying that austerity and degrowth need to be ensured to maintain the current system, aka capitalism, completely ignoring the possibility of the system itself restructuring). This is clearly the same situation in Snowpiercer. The underclasses need to suffer in order to maintain the eco-system of the train, while the upper-class lives in luxury as a "necessity" for provocation. Now all of this is pretty good and draws attention to a great evil in modern ecologist ideology, however after this exposition the main character drops the ball, or more importantly, the story does. It falls pray to the very ideology it tried to attack, as the main character concedes to Musk stand-in, that indeed this is the only way. The largest flaw of Holism, that there is another way if you dare to restructure and change society it self instead of maintaining status quo, is never revealed. Instead the film subscribes to idealist bullshit like pic related, doomerism that no longer has any faith in the future as it is, choosing instead to let everything burn, including yourself, only leaving behind tiny hope for the future instead of fighting for it yourself as hard as you can with what is offered, no longer do you try to change the world.
Also is it pure coincidence that the main character is called Curtis when the only other time I have ever saw Holism being called out was in an Adam Curtis doc? No.2672

Reposting this from a leftypol thread:
>It touches on meritocracy, even though the Kim family are all skilled and hard working, they don't have social mobility because they don't have the capital to send their kids to college. In order to gain capital, they have to con richer families. Even though we know what they did was "wrong", they're clearly depicted as victims of their class and environment.
>It touches on privilege of the rich, the Kims have their home destroyed by a natural disaster, but to the Parks their capital allows them to use "rain" as an opportunity for a party. Because of their wealth, the upperclass can live in a bubble, shielded from the real world.
And it does all that without resorting to making the rich family some cartoony, evil business tycoons. They aren't antagonists in the film at all, yet the ignorance, privilege, and cruelty of the "nice and civil" Parks are still plain as day to see.

That's the point of the film, the working class family act in a pretty scummy way, they cheat and lie, fuck over people in the same situation, and are in general not very good people. They are the parasites. But when shit goes down you are forced to sympathize with those that were meant to be the bad and the rich family who until then were just clueless duped retards, victims who might even deserve some sympathy, suddenly become outright evil and this moral reversal is the climax of the movie. The rich are not parasites, they are not shown exploiting the working class and they pay their servants well, who are basically cheating money out of them. This is what makes the movie interesting, if it was just big boss man paying little money nobody would watch it because that's just everyday life and not very interesting.

No.21869
>>21868What the fuck is filtered? I'm not coffee. This is not an ode to illegalism or some feel good story about the poor outsmarting the rich. They scam the rich and you might enjoy this but in the film they are punished for it and it leads to their downfall. They do not win. They are the parasites and the point of the film is that despite this, they are the good guys. You want to see your vulgar Marxism in everything but the film does not condemn the way the rich got their wealth and their relationship is not portrayed as only financial transactions or commodities or whatever. The climax is reached when the rich father finds the guy living in his walls smelly. He did not ever meet him before, he did not ever hire him, he knows nothing about him. But he is still disgusted by him instead of showing empathy even though he is literally dying at his feet, licking it.
You can make excuses for the poor family and claim that workers can never do anything wrong but that completely ignores the point of the film. You are like a mirror image of those right-wingers who claim that "college socialists" would stop being communists if they actually met working class people, since they are supposedly all unpleasant company: rude, cruel and smelly. Instead you claim that workers cannot be bad people because they have no other choice and everyone has to look out for themselves. But the point the film makes breaks out of this false dilemma and instead of trying to portray the poor family as working class saints that can never do anything wrong or evil incarnate unworthy of our sympathy, it portrays them as people with faults that try to survive through dishonest means, as parasites, but despite that they are still worthy of our sympathy. It points out that even thought not every worker is a saint and you might like or dislike individuals, the working class is still worthy of its emancipation.

>claim that workers can never do anything wrongI literally never said that, nice strawman.
>completely ignores the point of the film blatantly incorrect.
>Instead you claim that workers cannot be bad people because they have no other choice and everyone has to look out for themselves Again putting words in my mouth, knave. I never said they cannot be bad, I said that their poverty drives them to vulgar actions that should be beneath a civilized society, because the truth i that South Korea is not so. This is Exemplified in the scene they let themselves be GASSED in their shitty basement apartment just to kill the insects that infest their home.
The point is that the real parasite is the rich because their hoarded wealth and opulent disregard for other humans, especially the poor FORCES people to fight and scrabble around like beastly animals over the scraps they are tossed. And if the rich no longer favor a poor individual, said individual gets tossed out onto the streets, in utter disregard of if they survive.
I also clarify, the rich being parasitic does not make the Pak family some inherent evil. The Kim family' action appear mercantile from a basic sense if you do not pay attention to the details, even in getting the other people fired they still feel regret and think about it, but move on because agonizing over morality is not a luxury they can afford. They have no present of future and so must take it from others or die. And that is horrendous, but it is the upperclass that puts them in this position to begin with. To them the Kim family is at best a servant or toy that they can afford to toss out their small change on and not care about the details, they can talk and laugh with them but at the end of the day the Kim family is to the Paks, faceless beings whose struggles they do not know and do not want to know.
And yet Kim didn't kill Pak because of this, he killed him because he could not take it any longer, as his daughter is dying in his arms, for Pak his fainted son is more important, and even in this time of panic and horror, the richman still has time to pinch his nose at the "smelly poorfags", because he does not consider them people but things, no different to an automaton or car.
TL;DR:
The Kim's are considered parasites by the Paks, just asss the Kims considered the insects in their apartment to be parasites, and on the surface that is the appearance, but the reality is that the social structure that they live in means it is the Paks that are the true parasites. They may not have prsonally mbzzld money or denied the Kims' son entrance into a university, but they are perpetuators of the system that does this.

I think I agree with your interpretations if we're basically only looking at what is shown, Obviously with everything in the larger sense, The rich are parasites but we don't really see much of the exploitation or the society at large in this movie
I faced the same issue while watching the movie, In the start, I was trying to see scenes where the rich mistreat the poor, but this movie does not really go that easy route
It makes a little complex, It is more interested in the differences of class and not really interested in demonizing the individual people
>>21874I agree with you too, Those things you mentioned about the Paks, But I think the flaw ultimately is of the movie and how the title brings unnecessary confusion. Either the title should've been changed or the messaging should've been more apparent with scenes that like show the Paks going along with the system because they don't mind and then in a butterfly effect it coming back to hurt the Kims, or something like them being perpetuating capitalist realism
As you say
>They may not have prsonally mbzzld money or denied the Kims' son entrance into a university, but they are perpetuators of the system that does this.

It seemed more like "oh we've reached the end of the movie, let's just add in some consequences randomly." I guess I wanted it to work out for both of the kids. Fine make it a tragedy, but at least set up the downfall more. They could've really done more with the conflict between the former maid they pushed out and the family. It was just a sudden discovery for the maid, and then it seemed like the movie switched genres and became a home invasion type murder-thriller. Also the father's decision to randomly murder the boss off of one insult felt shoehorned as well.
Seems every Korean movie is Shamylan tier twisty, Oldboy, The Handmaiden, This one.

The rich being parasites does not contribute to the story, in fact it it kind of detracts from its power.I already did, they dispose the maid who has more a connection to the house than they do just because she became ill.

>>2129 This is a Western POV, it's rather common for S.Korean films, especially in the past decade to be subversive and anti-capitalist, the country is full of hidden fissures in society.

>>35123It's just a good thriller with somewhat of a theme of class, but the fact that it doesn't put forth a rigorous historical materialist thesis or an "alternative" to the situation depicted doesn't make it a bad piece of art. This is like a stereotype of an annoying white leftist review of media.
