 The film Parasite was a Korean movie and originated in 2013, The
story is about the poor family infiltrating and creeping into the rich house it
seems very obvious that Parasite refers to the poor family. But if you look at
it the other way you can say that rich family they are also parasites in terms
of labor. They cannot even wash dishes, they cannot drive themselves, so
they leech off the poor family's labor. So both are parasites.

For me Parasite was one of the greatest movie I have ever seen. Due
to the fact that it was based on a true story and the fact that some parts of
the movie was based on true story aches my heart. Some families in Korea
lives on a half-underground apartment which is typically just a several steps
below street level. And when they are experiencing a heavy rain people who
lives here struggles the most. While the poor people struggles, the rich people
does not have any idea what it is like to be poor. And they are just happy
because it rained so hard last night that it was now sunny today. This
explained the difference between poor and rich people. Kim Ki-woo and his
family live on the edge of poverty. They fold pizza boxes for a delivery
company to make some cash, steal wi-fi from the coffee shop nearby and
leave the windows open when the neighborhood is being fumigated to deal
with their own infestation. Kim Ki-woo’s life changes when a friend offers to
recommend him as an English tutor for a girl he is been working with as the
friend has to go out of the country for a while. The friend is in love with the
young girl and does not want another tutor “slavering” over her. Why he
trusts Kim Ki-woo given what we know and learn about him is a valid
question. The young man changes his name to Kevin and begins tutoring Park
Da-hye who immediately falls for him of course Kevin has a much deeper plan
he is going to get his whole family into this house. He quickly convinces the
mother Yeon-kyo the excellent Jo Yeo-jeong that the son of the house needs
an art tutor which allows Kevin’s sister “Jessica” to enter the picture. Before
long mom and dad are in the Park house too and it seems like everything is
going perfectly for the Kim family.

From the beginning to the end I felt many emotions when I watched
the film Parasites, which was the best thrill film I had ever seen. The movie's
solidity was founded on a true story and their music, unique effects, and
symbols were truly incredible. I got the impression that I am in the real world
it immersed me in the situation and made me feel as if I am there witnessed
the tragedy.

This movie made me realized that being envious about someone’s

success can make us do things that we cannot imagine. Some people always
thinks that by having someone’s successful life will make them happier. But
this is where they are wrong, they become blind and do such bad things to
achieve a successful life. The movie taught me that i should not be focusing
on what I do not have and be envious about what people have. And I should
start focusing on my own growth to be a successful woman one day.
