Some trivia and anecdotes behind the scenes of Parasite:
1, in the imagination of his son Ji Woo at the end of the film, he will buy the mansion first when he makes money, however, with the current per capita income in South Korea, this mansion worth 127 million yuan, Ji Woo needs at least 547 years to buy. For South Korea, which has a serious class solidification, it undoubtedly points to a deeper level of despair.
2. The inspiration for Ji Woo's application for a tutor in the movie came from the personal experience of director Bong Joon-ho, who said in a media interview: "I have also tutored the children of rich families, and he took me to every corner of their house. ”
3. After the release of the film "Parasite", it was a great success, winning four awards such as the Oscar for Best Picture, and also won the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film and the Cannes Palme d'Or, bringing great glory to Korean films. Coincidentally, winning the Palme d'Or coincided with the 100th anniversary of Korean cinema.
4) The film tells the story of the poor and the rich, and the core is capitalism. The director hinted in many places in the film that the rich family symbolized the United States and the poor family symbolized South Korea, and used two families to satirize that south Korea is attached to the United States like a parasite.
5. Choi Woo-sik, who conquers the audience by relying on acting skills and appearance in the film, has starred in many roles such as the funny teenager in "Busan Trip", but Choi Woo-sik's college major is a film director, and being an actor is probably only a way for people to "save the country through the curve".
