I've been accustomed to go through the reviews and the trailer before watching a film and I sadly form opinions or get influenced by those. I watched it after a year from when it was released. I tried hard to look for a mistake. Not a smart critic I guess. But it's all right.And I will say. It's a very authentic joyful ride which effortlessly meanders with every turn it takes. It settled right like froth (on my saddened heart), light and nice and so did the warmth and sweetness seeped in. It's all about the happy endings we ever wish for and about the roads we take to meet the ends and those who come along.

Parasite. A well-designed film. Well written. It doesn't get lost, it holds the story with reasoning. I felt it's a story about survival instinct, how if, one has to survive, one does in ways their not just physical but mental capacity, the responsibility which follows with those actions. It has such vulnerable and intricate moments one leading to another. For instance, how Kim has a surge gut to kill Mr Park. How raw and fierce he might have felt. Well most of us could relate to being on both places or at least I have. Of course, we try and mechanize our emotions, and when we don't we lead to the consequences. I feel the movie is made creatively, it has caught human tendencies which are simplistically vulnerable and raw. Story fits in the world that we are living in. It doesn't feel like a work of fiction. It feels real. It's a woven tale of today, that's globally relevant, I could see myself in it. Although the narration that was depicted through Morse code and the hopeful reply to it, what's sadly real and convincing was to see that the happy ending for Kim's family lies in the future, if it ever happens but the reality is the struggle and the way of life. Like they say, "if you are going to tell people the truth, be funny or they'll kill you"; Well this film has done that.
