Because the housemaid didn't care if they had dirt on her. She even said that once she sends the video they'll all go to jail together.
Anyhow, what a crazy movie. Emotional rollercoaster.

Holy shit what a movie,
As soon as the parents go away on the camping trip this movie made me the most tense I've been watching something since like No Country For Old Men
the final gutpunch is delivered so well and immediately solved some of my issues with the story (i.e. him buying that house wouldn't raise any suspicion and he could earn enough that easy?)

what a brilliant film, I need to see it again many more times. Just so gorgeously shot and thematically well realized. One of my favorites in many years.
Just watched it today.
Phew, what a film. So many layers and levels to it. Still processing it.

I thought the fate of a certain character in The Host was needlessly cruel.
Of course I didnt understand what they were saying and yet I still found the acting performance of the rich wife phenomenal and completely captivating.
She is phenomenal, that shot of her coming up the stairs is one of my favourite in the history of cinema.
Wow. It has been a while since I've come out of a film completely floored. Absolutely amazing, thanks ERA for telling me to go blind into this.
It's not going to win Best Picture but it's my Best Picture in my heart.

Watched it again. It great.
Don't ask me where, but 15 minutes could have been trimmed and this would be insanely rewatchable. But if you were asking me where, you could start with snipping two minutes from the

I don't agree with the "go in blind" advice surrounding this movie. I actually wish I had known the premise before watching, because the trailer and poster made it seem like a horror or thriller. I kept expecting the story to shift gears in that direction until about halfway through when I realized it was just a drama.
I still really enjoyed it, but yeah it's not like reading the one-sentence synopsis on IMDB will spoil the movie.

A friend of mine went in blind and thought it was going to be an Invasion of the Body Snatchers type of film. It took him half an hour to realize his mistake.
Saw it in b&w in LA last night. felt like a different movie more "creepy"
it also really added to the flood scene
Also the second time around I caught how the two kids even after the dads speech about how "the best plan is to not have a plan because it never will happen" still hold on to planning things. ki-jeong mentions something at the party about ki-taek having a plan for the basement family and the dream sequence at the end is ki-woo's "plan" for saving his father which of course is never going to happen.
Didn't see this posted but regarding 📺
- 6 hours long 🤔
- undecided if it will be in English or Korean 👍
- series, also titled Parasite, will explore stories "that happen in between the sequences in the film". 🤷♀️
- starting up after Oscars in March 2020 🙏

Just saw this with the GF, we absolutely loved it. Not easy to beat The Lighthouse for my movie of the year, but this certainly did it.
I don't think Parasite will beat Memories of Murder for me since that one's one of my absolute GOATs, but it's easily one of the best movies I've seen in years and like with MoM, I can definitely see myself rewatching this over and over again.

I'm interested but honestly the pacing and storytelling of the film are some of my favorite things about it.
I've seen all of his films, would have to say this is just a hair behind Memories of a Murder, which is just a masterpiece. The story is so tight and so so good. Laughed out loud way more than I thought I would.
One thing I'm still iffy on:
Why doesn't the dad just leave after months have passed? Does he know that the police are still looking for him?
I imagine they'll be after him for years, and officers are still keeping vague tabs on his family. If he were to show up, they'd know.
I'm glad I watched this. I had nearly written it off but I rented it tonight and was surprised how much I enjoyed it. It's going to take time to think about it.
Still though wouldn't it be better
to be in jail and be able to see his family and have his survival guaranteed than to never see his family again and basically be living in jail while doing it
I can't believe I wasted over 2 hours of my life watching this piece of shit excuse for film.
Just kidding. Went in totally blind and really enjoyed it. Definitely one of my favorite movies of recent - and extended - memory. Fantastic job and I will be watching Memories of Murder soon.

Finally saw the movie a few days ago. Loved it. When I saw the initial international teaser trailer, posted on Resetera several months ago, I thought the narration on the trailer seemed a bit weird, but chalked that up to art being art.
One detail that kind of threw me off was actually Mr Park's job. He seemed to be a mid-level manager, not a C-suite executive, the latter of which would better explain that level of wealth.
After the seeing the film, I now realize the teaser trailer is narrated by Housekeeper Moon-gwang acting out in her North Korean news anchor impersonation, and she coughs during the narration not because of the fumigation scene, but because of her peach allergy. Can a trailer be included in foreshadowing?

It's relatively more difficult to be on the lam in a small country like South Korea than in say, the United States. The land area of SK is similar to the state of Indiana, but surrounded by the sea on three sides and goddamn North Korea on the fourth side. The movie likely takes place in the Seoul metro area, where half the country lives (25 out of 51 million).
Having said that, I agree, it would be so much easier to just escape the house at night and take one of the ubiquitous charter buses to a small town.

pretty sure he was ceo, he had whole magazine articles with him on the cover!
saw it last night and loved it
if you liked this, i think you should take the time to see "the talented mr. ripley" if you have not done so yet

He was! They had his covers framed on the wall in the house
I literally came here to say this.
There are definitely movies out there where the less you know, the better, but this ain't it chief.
Regardless, great movie and a final shot that felt like a gut punch.
But you didn't go in blind. You watched the trailer and saw the poster and came away with some preconceived notions of what the film was going to be which colored your expectations.
Just not a Horror movie. Which I thought it would be going in blind.
I just watched last night with a group for our movie night. I liked it but it waivered for me once we got to the husband in the basement. I didn't like his story, along with the previous housekeeper. I went from loving to "this is fine."
True, but even the suggestions to go in blind set up unnecessary expectations for me before I saw the trailer and poster. I don't think that saying...
it's a social commentary about a poor family bamboozling a rich family
D'oh, forgot about that, thanks. Just seemed off to me seeing an Asian CEO in business casual clothes in a conference room, surrounded by junior staff.
Had no idea the movie was pretty much all sets - pretty damn impressive work, for sure. I'm usually an idiot when it comes to themes and metaphors, so I'm a tiny bit proud I picked up on almost everything mentioned in the essay here during the movie. Any more good essays to check out?
yep, up until that point the movie was great for me, but the whole sequence lead to the ending just make me go eh. There are much better korean movies out there, not sure why this movie got so much hype this year
I only have one nitpick about the film's ending:
Anyways, I can't stop thinking about it. I'm reading the script and already found some interesting details that I missed at first.
The Rock after the incident. How did the Son get it back? I would imagine it was evidence and thus part of the investigation.

Watched it yesterday and have to say from start to finish really enjoyed it, good script, excellent acting and lovely visuals
Reminded me of Us for the themes it explores but from a different cultural point, given its from South Korea and not USA
Definetly my favorite from the director
