Briefly
summarize the plot :
The
Kim family, consisting of his father Kim Ki-taek (Song Kang-ho), his wife
Park Chung-suk (Jang Hye-jin), his son Kim Ki-woo (Choi Woo-shik), and his
daughter Kim Ki-jeong (Park So-Dam) lives in a small, rundown,
semi-underground apartment. Their daily job is folding pizza boxes, with very
little income and difficulty in meeting their daily needs. One day,
Ki-woo'sfriend, Min-hyuk (Park Seo-joon) visits the Kim family and gives a
"lucky stone" (). Min-hyuk plans to study abroad, thus suggesting
that Ki-woo take over his job as an English tutor for Park Da-hye (Jung
Ji-so), daughter of rich family Park Dong-ik (Lee Sun-kyun) and his wife Choi
Yeon-gyo (Jo Yeo-jeong) and brother of Park Da-song (Jung Hyun-joon). Ki-woo
is willing to accept his friend's offer.
Gradually,
Kim's family tried so that one by one their family members could work in the
Park family, by recommending each other and lying as professional service
providers who did not know each other. Ki-woo becomes a tutor and secretly
starts a romantic relationship with Da-hye. When Yeon-gyo intends to find an
art teacher and therapist for Da-song, Ki-woo takes advantage of this
opportunity by suggesting a "professional" named Jessica from
Chicago, Illinois, United States, who turns out to be his own sister
Ki-jeong. Ki-jeong then slanders the Park family's driver by putting his
underwear in Park's family-owned car. Dong-ik drives the driver away and
replaces him with a former valet driver who turns out to be Ki-taek. And for
the last time, Ki-taek connects with his two children to attract his mother,
Chung-suk becomes ahousehold assistant, trying to frighten that their current
aide, Mun-gwang (Lee Jung-eun), has tuberculosis by using peach allergy he
suffered.
One
day, the Park family camped overnight for a gift for Da-song's birthday.
Kim's family partyed, enjoying lavish facilities and drinking in the house.
At night when it rains heavily, Mun-gwang suddenly asks permission to enter
the house because he wants to take something in the basement. While the whole
family is hiding, Chung-suk lets Mun-gwang in. Unexpectedly anyone, Mun-gwang
shows a bunker, where her husband Geun-se (Park Myung-hoon) is hiding for
four years to avoid the loan sharks' snares. When Chung-suk threatened to
call the police, Kim's family's lies were accidentally exposed. Without thinking,
Mun-gwang seized the opportunity by recording them and threatening to send
the tape to the Park Family. Mun-gwang and Geun-se take their hostage. But
when Mun-gwang and Geun-are off guard, Kim's family tries to grab Mun-gwang's
cellphone and fight each other in the living room. Kim's family finally took
the cellphone.
|
Due
to heavy rain, Park's family suddenly canceled their vacation and called
Chung-suk. The Kim family seizes Mun-gwang and Geun-se in the bunker, cleans
the living room and then hides, while Chung-suk is rousing to cook ramyeon as
Yeon-gyo requests. When Mun-gwang manages to escape to the living room,
Chung-suk kicks him back so that Mun-gwang bounces down. Chief Mun-gwang hit
the wall and suffered a concussion. When Chung-suk serves his food, Yeon-gyo
reveals Da-song's traumatic experience she had experienced a few years ago
when she saw a figure that was mistaken for a ghost, who actually was Geun-se
who came out of the bunker. As the remaining Kim family hides under the table,
Dong-ik complains about Ki-taek's body odor to his wife.
Taking
advantage of the situation of Dong-ik and his sleeping wife, Ki-taek,
Ki-jeong, and Ki-woo leave the house and run to their house. They found that
their neighborhood was flooded, their apartment damped to chest height, and
immediately tried to save items that could still be saved. Ki-woo brings the
"lucky stone" to a sports arena where flooded residents are
evacuated. Meanwhile, Moon-kwang dies from a concussion, Geun-sae cries.
The
next day, Yeon-gyo holds a birthday party for Da-song. He invited all
Ki-jeong and Ki-woo, while Ki-taek and Chung-suk were asked to come to work.
Ki-woo brings a stone to the bunker. Geun-sae ambushes Ki-woo and hits his
head with a rock, then runs away. Trying to get revenge for the death of his
wife Moon-gwang, he takes a kitchen knife and stabs Ki-jeong in front of
party guests who scream in fear. Da-song experiences a seizure due to trauma
after seeing Geun-sae, while Ki-taek rushes to stop Ki-jeong's bleeding when
Dong-ik screams at him to take Da-song to the hospital. However, Ki-taek
throws the car key and the key is trapped under Chung-seok and Geun-sae who
are fighting, right before Chung-seok kills Geun-sae with a meat prick. Out
of all the chaos, Ki-taek who harbored anger over Dong-ik's behavior towards
him and Dong-ik's reaction that showed disgust after smelling Geun-se's body
odor while taking the car key, taking a knife and stabbing Dong-ik to death,
then running away self.
|
A
few weeks later, Gi-u woke up from a coma. Gi-u and his mother were convicted
of fraud and undergoing probation, while Gi-jeong was killed and Gi-taek
disappeared. Gi-u continues to spy on the Park family's home which has now
been sold to German families and sees the Morse code from the flashing lights
which translates as a message. The message came from Gi-taek who is now
hiding in the bunker. Gi-taek buried Mun-gwang's body in the backyard. Gi-u
wrote a letter to his father, who swore that one day he would get enough
money to buy a house and reunite the remaining family. The film ends with
Gi-u and Chung-suk who still live in banjiha, just like the initial scenes
from the film.

Scenes
I liked best in the movie : when Yeon-kyo wants to hold a sudden birthday party for
her youngest child, Da-song. When Ki-taek - who has now 'successfully' become
a driver - escorts and helps him shop for party preparations, Yeon-kyo is
thankful for the weather and clear sky due to the rain all night.
|
Scenes
that I did not like :
There
is one scene where Mr.Park warns his driver to do something he wants and
confirms that the driver's duty is because he has been paid extra. Or when
Ki-Jung is dying, they are still more concerned about their son who
incidentally just fainted.
|
Outstanding
individual performance :
Outstanding individual performance when Ki-Woo taught
the Park family's daughter in English, doi told him to make a sentence with
the word "pretend"? small and trivial things that have become a
clue to continue the story. I consider this film the best and worth it to win
the festival because of its many morals, typical of the film is very smart
but can be watched from all walks of life because of simple and uncomplicated
grammar.
|
Performances
that were not so good :
When
at noon was having a party then suddenly there was an attack on one another
stabbing a knife and seen by some small children it is not worth seeing
|
What
was believable about the movie:
All
thanks to the child, Kim Ki-woo, who disguised himself as a private teacher
by using fake diplomas. It was there, he recommended his younger brother (Kim
Ki-Jeong) become a small art teacher Park Da-Song. Gradually, their father,
Kim Ki-Taek, became the Park family's driver, and their mother, Kim
Chung-Sook, became a household assistant. It is clear that when we have been
trusted by superiors or business owners, our voices begin to be very be calculated.
It's clear that the recommendations given by Ki-Woo can be well received by
the Park family. Although, there is evil intentions behind it all.
|
Would
you recommend that your readers see this movie?
Why
or why not?
yes highly recommend because this parasite film story
builds character and atmosphere, to make the audience stunned. Behind that,
he also carries a powerful message through a fairly simple premise. Bong's
genius was seen when trying to photograph the lives of people with different
conditions to live in the same room. Not only that, he also described the
efforts of a group of people to survive in the world until forced to enter as
a parasite in relations with other humans.
