The film demonstrates poverty, desperation, and inequality; it dramatizes the extreme differences in the worlds between wealthy and poor families. *So close they can 'smell' each other, 'smell' being a common referent in the film. Parasite is easily among the most artful, successfully executed films of the year.
What's the movie Parasite about?
Greed and class discrimination threaten the newly formed symbiotic relationship between the wealthy Park family and the destitute Kim clan.
In an interview with GQ, Bong said that, more than anything else, Dong Ik's cruelty towards the housekeeper's husband in regards his smell is Ki Taek's big trigger to kill Mr. Park. "Because of the smell of this man, Mr. Park's reaction has to be that intense for it to act as a trigger for Ki Taek."

Is the house in Parasite real? The chief location, the Parks' house (pictured above), was constructed specially for the film in two parts, the ground floor and garden created on an outdoor lot, and the first floor and basement on a stage.
The moral heart of the movie – part family melodrama, part surreal comedy, part social commentary – is an examination of who, exactly, is the parasite: the poverty-stricken family who lay their eggs, cuckoo-like, in this fancy nest, or the rich one that reaps the benefits of their labour while living a life of coddled
The film ends with Ki-woo narrating the aftermath: He awakens in the hospital from head injuries only to have his Miranda rights read to him. He's charged and on probation with his mother; his sister, Ki-jung, has died; their father long disappeared and his whereabouts unknown.

Inserting one into the early stages of Parasite was a "deliberately strange choice," Bong says. When Min presents the rock to the Kims, Ki-woo exclaims, "It's so metaphorical!" "I saw it as representing all the heavy pressure Ki-woo was feeling to take care of his family and find a way to get ahead," he says.
Parasite outlines how the working class are forced into conflict against one another, fighting for scraps, while families like the Parks live a comfortable life, fueled by the labor of the many individuals working beneath them.
That's a really cool take on the story! She dies because the rich family prioritised their kid having a seizure, over the worker with a knife in her chest.
Originally Answered: What makes the Korean film parasite so overrated? The movie itself is not over-rated. The response to it is extremely highly over-rated. The movie as a piece of art and product is very well made.
A parasite is an organism that lives on or in a host organism and gets its food from or at the expense of its host. There are three main classes of parasites that can cause disease in humans: protozoa, helminths, and ectoparasites.
The viewing stone is a gift given to the Kims by their more successful friend. It symbolizes the life of prosperity they want to have. A future that seems out of their grasp given the current economic climate. The family hopes the future is bright, and as they all start getting jobs working for a wealthy family, it is.
On 28 January 2020, Parasite was released on Blu-ray Disc in Region A and DVD in Region 1 by Neon, with distribution by Universal Pictures Home Entertainment. On 13 February 2020, it was announced that the film will be released on home media by The Criterion Collection.
(CNN) Hulu has time for anyone who is kvetching about "Parasite." The movie made history as the first South Korean film to ever take home an Oscar for best picture when it won in February. But the fact that the dialogue is in Korean and the film has English subtitles apparently is bothersome to some.
