Bong Joon-ho's PARASITE

[Asr]

Well-deserved win there! I'd be willing to bet it wins in the same category at the Oscars.

 

[Deck Rickard]

This movie deserves all the accolades that it's getting. One of the most original, unpredictable films ever made. Pure brilliance from start to finish.

 

[Broseph44]

Can’t wait to check this one out.

A limited series based around the critically-acclaimed South Korean film “Parasite” is in the works at HBO, Variety has confirmed.

The film’s director Bong Joon Ho and Adam McKay are both in talks to executive produce the series. It isn’t clear as of yet whether the series will be a direct English language remake of the film, or some kind of spinoff.

Interesting but hopefully it won't turn out like the Oldboy remake.

I love this.

 

[StarLord]

Absolutely PHENOMENAL. This is easily my #1 of 2019 and probably the most meticulously crafted film I've ever seen.

Now this poster does a great job selling this wonderful Korean comedy.

Finally got around to seeing this and it's great. It's my favorite Bong film since Memories of Murder.

I can't believe the house was a set built on a backlot. Incredible. I thought it was real!

Please give this all the production design awards.

I watched this blindly going in knowing very little about it. Okay, now I see what all the fuss was about. It really surprised me with its originality and the constant changes in tone done in such a unique and inventive way.

You know a film is good when you sort of see the twist coming but it totally works anyway. Thoroughly enjoyed this film. The scene structure is impeccable and this has tremendous cinematography.

9.5/10

You know what's funny?

Spoiler

I thought I had it all figured out that the son's friend who hooked him up with the tutoring job was going to come back for some reason and thus expose the whole family. What actually happened was way more shocking and I didn't see it coming at all.

Absolutely PHENOMENAL. This is easily my #1 of 2019 and probably the most meticulously crafted film I've ever seen.

I’m in love with her after watching this movie.

Finally saw this last night and I am still thinking about it. 9.7/10

I wasn't aware that it was originally released in B&W. I don't know how I'm going to see this. My schedule is so tight. I hope they release it on video in B&W.

PARASITE (B&W Version) (2019)

Beginning this Friday, February 7 we'll be offering screenings of the B&W version of Parasite!

The B&W version was created prior to the film's premiere at the Cannes Film Festival where it won the Palme D'Or.

Director Bong Joon Ho on this version:

"I'm extremely happy to present PARASITE in black and white and have it play on the big screen. It will be fascinating to see how the viewing experience changes when an identical film is presented in black and white. I watched the black and white version twice now, and at times the film felt more like a fable and gave me the strange sense that I was watching a story from old times. "

"The second time I watched it, the film felt more realistic and sharp as if I was being cut by a blade. It also further highlighted the actors' performances and seemed to revolve more around the characters. I had many fleeting impressions of this new version, but I do not wish to define them before it is presented. I hope everyone in the audience can compare their own experiences from the color version and find their own path to PARASITE in black and white."

Just got home from this a little while ago and I loved it. Just completely insane. One of my top 3 of 2019

 

[inomilan]

This has to WIN Best Picture.

 

[tzarinna]

I worked it out. I'm going to see the B&W version on Monday. *obsessed*

 

[3rdstone]

A B&W version actually sounds like an interesting experience. Personally I usually don't feel the appeal of that concept if a film was made in colour for the theatrical version, but Parasite would be the exception for me in that matter.

 

[samsnee]

WINNER!

 

[Boom]

Impeccable film. Best winner of the 2010s.

 

[KaijuDude1992]

Easily one of the best and most unexpected wins in decades. I have never rooted for a movie so hard to win and be this satisfied when it does.
