Parasite, directed by Bong Joon-ho, is a critically acclaimed South Korean film that has received numerous awards and accolades. However, in my opinion, the film falls short of its hype. While the premise of a lower-class family infiltrating a wealthy household is intriguing, the execution is heavy-handed and lacks subtlety.

The characters are one-dimensional and lack depth, with the lower-class family being portrayed as cunning and deceitful, and the wealthy family as naive and ignorant. The film's attempts at social commentary feel forced and preachy, with the message of class struggle being hammered home repeatedly.

Furthermore, the film's pacing is slow and uneven, with long stretches of exposition and character development that feel drawn out and unnecessary. The final act, while shocking, is also predictable and lacks emotional impact due to the lack of investment in the characters.

Overall, Parasite is a film that is overhyped and overrated. While it may appeal to those who enjoy heavy-handed social commentary, those looking for a more nuanced and subtle exploration of class struggle will be disappointed. Despite its critical acclaim, I found Parasite to be a disappointing and forgettable film.
