"the messed up message of the movie was that rich people are annoying, so it's okay to con them."
The movie definitely didnt portray the idea that it was "ok to con" rich ppl. look what happened to all of the poor characters in the movie.
Not necessarily...I just explained why. The rich people were not antagonists because what they did wasn't nearly as bad as what the poor people did.
Look at the actions of the characters and don't force your own ideological inclinations onto the story.
"Thats not the message at all, you shouldnt watch or comment on movies."
ur explanation of this movie makes it seem like you shouldnt watch or comment on movies either....
people literally u have to force their own westernized notions of communist vs capitalist politics onto a movie (as demonstrated in your post) when the movie actually has absolutely zero message or the message was extremely stupid (and all over the place)...or was extremely annoying
Some guy in this forum site said this movie is bad because it's marxist. What in the world? This movie's pretty straightforward. Poor people are poor cause they are shitty people...how is that even marxist?
The poor are portrayed as the parasites and everyone's delusional, thinking the director is making some social commentary that both the elite rich and poor people are parasitic...and they all think he has some deep and meaningful profound social commentary about inequality...wtf? maybe cause the director's not white? I'm confused.
Everyone's gone mental.
This movie is literally saying that poor ppl have innately worse personal qualities and therefore deserve their poverty. It's not even subtle.
Western viewers are projecting their own sjw wokeness onto a foreign film's elitist message. Its quite obvious the director knows zero about real poverty due to the way in which he disgustingly caricatures poor people in this movie.
The rich people in this movie were pretty one dimensional but at least they werent portrayed as murderous con artists.
Also it's kind of interesting to note that this movie didnt do well in Korea..maybe its cause Koreans can intuitively sense the movie's annoying message as they understand the original language?
Its bizarre cause the people who dislike this movie say they dislike it cause it's "woke" and typical virtue signalling or whatever...
But this movie blatantly makes poor ppl look shitty on purpose and calls the movie "parasite", which is the typical "get a job and stop leaching off us you parasite poor people!" message.
am i missing something? cause it feels like this movie is mocking poor people and im the only one noticing it cause everybody else is saying its good cause its "woke" or its bad cause its "woke" and im the only one saying its not "woke"... its elitist and annoying.
Actually research shows that the rich are less empathetic and more selfish. A quick google search will give you a bunch of studies...plus also (provided you haven't been living in a bubble), life experience sort of confirms this too.
