Mark B, a Super Reviewer for Rotten Tomatoes, took a look at the 2019 movie Parasite directed by Bong Joon-ho. It is an indie film described in the Solano County Library catalog: “A man named Ki-taek (Kang-ho Song) and his family struggle with poverty and unemployment. Their polar opposites, the Park family, lead a life of luxury and wealth. Ki-taek’s family grows more fascinated with the Parks by the day until they find themselves in the thick of an unexpected and significant incident. Director Joon-ho Bong toys with the conventions of the genre in this dark comedy meets thriller.” ~ Maggie Sadler, Rovi. 

Here’s what Mark B had to say about the film: 

“Parasite is fantastic. It’s clever. It’s funny. It’s disturbing. And yes, there is a powerful underlying theme of the divide between rich and poor. But the latter is so deftly weaved into the fabric of the story, you really don’t think about it much until a fateful scene before the last act. It fully deserved the Oscar for Best Picture and Director. If only for the peach fuzz fight scene.” (https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/parasite_2019)
