Parasite (2019) is widely renowned by many members from the film community. At first glance, it appears that they are genuinely praising the movie's artistic quality but the truth is, they are merely praising its supposed profound social commentary and propaganda.

In a society where people prefer to stay in echo-chambers and repulsing those who don't fit the status quo, it is no surprise that this motion picture is highly acclaimed given that it appeals to the ideologies of Marxist lunatics today by making the audience feel sympathy for the poor characters and contempt for the wealthy ones.

The movie doesn't necessarily condone the main characters' actions as it still portrays their crimes in a negative light. But that leads us to another issue; the movie wants us to think that their crimes are the results of "genius" planning even though their plans are only made possible because of some stupid plot point that requires us to suspend our disbelief. It just goes to show how much the film is trying to insult the audience's intelligence by thinking they'd buy into it.

In summary, the director Bong Joon-Ho seems to believe that class and status indicate one's character, as evident by his attempt at portraying the main characters in a positive light despite them being a bunch of lazy and conniving criminals. Perhaps, the only redeemable quality of this film is its cinematography which admittedly is quite beautiful.
