Fyi, Parasite's on Hulu now. My sister and I watched it last night and I enjoyed it greatly. Probably need to see it again to form a full opinion.

Thanks for sharing that it's on Hulu. I watched it last night.

It should be apparent by now that I'm not much of a band-wagoner when it comes to movies, but this one met or exceeded every massive expectation I had for it. Yes, I'm a raving fan of this film too and it is among my top three favorite films of last year, well, so far. I still have a few more major films of 2019 to go through (next time: 'The Lighthouse' now that it's coming to Amazon Prime in a few days) I almost don't have much else to say about 'Parasite' though because I don't have much new to add to what has already been said about it over and over again.

I will say that in going into it trying to avoid as much information about it as possible, as is often advised by those who recommend it, even while it was blowing up in popularity; I was caught off-guard by how surprisingly lighthearted it was, at least for the first half. I anticipated it to be mostly dark and dour. It certainly was at times, but it had a great balance in terms of its tone. Bong himself has described it as a "tragicomedy," and that actually seems like a pretty apt description of it. It isn't the pure white-knuckle thriller film that I expected. Though it did succeed at being incredibly tense at times. Once a certain turn happened, I was on the edge of my couch for the remainder of the movie.

Also usually I am able to find something about any film that I disliked. After all, no film is truly perfect. And for this one I was a little bothered by how absurdly gullible and oblivious the Park family was. It didn't seem very realistic and I was kind of frustrated by it. BUT after thinking about it a bit, even that works! When I considered the motifs, subtexts, and themes of this film that actually ended up having its place. In fact, the more I think about the movie overall, the more I like it. It really is crafted to the nines. Thought was considered for every single solitary detail of this film. 

So yeah, this film is near-perfect and has earned every accolade it has received.

I knew the plot switched at the halfway point but I was surprised just how well it was pulled off.
