Although the fate of the Kaiser family is sad, what impressed me most in the whole film is the "misunderstanding" of the poor to the rich.
Next, I will lead you to analyze these misunderstandings one by one.
Gold drivers who earn a living by folding cheap pizza boxes every day live in a semi-basement and eat every meal. They are poor to the core. At night, it is necessary to prevent drunkards from coming to their windows to vomit and urinate. The family suffered a lot from life, and it was not until they accidentally went to work in a rich family that they found themselves in trouble that the president's family would not encounter.
In the film, my mother said a word: money is iron, which smoothes all wrinkles.
Does this sentence really apply in real life?
Hangzhou nanny arson, high-paid nanny Mo Huanjing arson, resulting in the death of the hostess Zhu Xiaozhen and three children, leaving Lin Shengbin, the male host who came home from a business trip, with a blackened home and an empty life.
No amount of money can change the lives of Lin Shengbin's wife and children.
In the TV series Ode to Joy, Xiao Qu-Kong is rich and dignified, but he is worried about his parents' divorce, so he cries to return the property to his parents and doesn't want them to be separated. No matter how rich Qu Fu is, he can't compare with a disappointing son. Money is an iron, which can smooth all wrinkles. This sentence seems to say that rich people are carefree and everything goes well in life. But the fact is that as long as people are alive, they will have troubles, and different people will have different troubles.
Money is an iron, which can only iron wrinkles that need money, and ironing unevenness is the most helpless.
All kinds of difficulties and sufferings in life cannot be solved by money alone.
What the money can't solve is the most desperate.
After watching the whole movie, many viewers can't help wondering, are the rich people in real life really as gullible as in the movie?
President Park's family didn't know that Wenguang's husband, a former housekeeper, lived in his basement.
The wife was stunned by the phrase "Examination is imposing manner" when Yu Ji tutored her daughter. I was frightened by the term "art therapy" that Keating memorized from the Internet.
The president was also cheated by domestic high-end members brought out by his father Muze.
President Park and Mrs Park, are they really easy to fool?
Of course not.
There are many details in the film. When Mrs. Kaiser paid her, she skillfully took out some bills and told Kiu that the price had gone up, so she gave him more money.
This is the lady's "careful machine".
When President Park recruited his father Muze for a test run, he hypocritically said that it was not a test run, while observing the coffee in his hand and observing whether Muze turned skillfully.
This is President Park's "careful machine".
Duohui's appearance is simple and kind, and she likes the male concubine, which made her have the idea of having a good relationship with Duohui after she was admitted to the university. This is similar to the idea of introducing Yu Ji's work to the people. Every tutor can be loved and fantasized.
This is the "careful machine" of Duohui.
Moreover, it is worth considering that when the four members of the Kim family folded the cartons together, they lived in a dark semi-basement. When the whole family was employed in President Park's home, they still couldn't get rid of the semi-basement environment and that kind of "low taste". What does this mean?
It shows that the wages given to them by silly and sweet rich people are not high, but they are only close to food and clothing.
Then why does President Park's family look so gullible?
Wen Guang, a former housekeeper, said that the original owner of this mansion was the famous architect Nangong Gentleman. In order to avoid the war, they built a basement, but because they felt embarrassed, they wouldn't take the initiative to mention it.
But President Park's family knows nothing about the basement, which shows that President Park is not an "old" tycoon, but a "new" rich man.
And their family is trying to learn the rules of the game in the upper class.
This also explains why Mrs. Park is keen on all kinds of "surprises", showing off her wealth and luxury houses, and quickly establishing her own circle of contacts through various parties. And these are not what she was born with.
This makes sense. President Park's wealth accumulation time is not long. Maybe they were all middle-class people who crowded the subway before they moved into this house, so they were familiar with the taste of the subway.
When President Park found the driver's "derailed" underwear in the car, his wife immediately fired the housekeeper after witnessing her cough. Quick and accurate action shows that when someone violates their interests, they will immediately tear off the mask of stupidity and sweetness.
The reason why the rich look stupid is not because they are not smart enough, but because they are busy people. President Park is busy managing the company every day, and Mrs Park is busy preparing various parties. They should spend as little time as possible looking for suitable tutors and drivers to help them.
Moreover, they are very disdainful of these employed people, so they usually don't care too much, and they don't believe that they will have the courage to deceive people. They are too "confident" in themselves and will give this family an opportunity.
The silly and sweet image of the rich has been maintained until the rainstorm comes; And the illusion of the poor, with the arrival of heavy rain, was completely broken.
Rich people go to eat, poor people "occupy the nest", eat, drink and enjoy everything in the mansion, which is estimated to be the closest to their "rich dream" fantasy.
They even think that by hiring a few actors, they can cheat the rich families and let their son Yuji marry the rich girl smoothly. At that time, the family was still daydreaming cheaply.
After the owner's family, who could not camp on the mountain because of the rainstorm, came back halfway, the "impostor" was immediately beaten back to its original shape and hid in Tibet.
Rich women and men mentioned drugs and cheap underwear when they were having sex on the sofa. Through role-playing, they laugh at the poor. Disliking the poor is an occasional topic of adjustment between their husband and wife, and it is also their true inner thoughts.
This aversion to the poor is actually reflected in life. When the president complained that his wife couldn't sweep the floor and cook after the housekeeper left, the driver interjected, "But I still love her, right?" The careless driver thought it was just a chat between friends, but the president suddenly froze. It can be seen that the president actually hates this kind of "cross-border" behavior, which is not only the overstepping of employees and bosses, but also the overstepping of the "poor" to the "rich" class, because they do not allow their position to be offended.
Throughout the film, the courtesy of the rich to the poor always includes alienation.
The former driver was fired because he was "offended" and had sex in his exclusive seat;
The former housekeeper was also dismissed because she was cheated. How do tuberculosis patients continue to take it at home?
President Park and his wife seem to be full of affinity, but they are actually very concerned about whether the driver and the housekeeper have crossed the line.
The subtext is that you don't deserve each other.
The poor misunderstood the "friendliness" of the President's family and made them think that they could become friends.
The "strange stone" given by Yu Ji's friends and people has always been regarded as a belief by Yu Ji, but it is fake. When the rainstorm came, the stones that should have sunk slowly surfaced. Does Yu Ji realize that his dream, like this fake stone, will become empty?
Minhe took a fake stone and made up an excuse to cheat Yu Ji, let him be a tutor instead of himself, and supervise Duohui by the way to prevent him from changing his mind. Why did he choose him? Because he is convinced that Duohui will never take a fancy to a poor man like him.
A seemingly selfless gift,
In fact, with contempt for the poor,
A heavy rain exposed all the truth.
The next day, at the party on the lawn, the stimulated driver Jin suddenly killed President Park. On the surface, it is President Park's behavior of covering his nose that makes him feel inferior. But in fact, it was Kim Ki-taek who suddenly realized the fact that President Park, who could be a friend, did not regard him as an equal. He finally realized the disparity in status and role between them. They can never be friends, and they can never enter.
Mother Zhongshu said, "If I had money, I would be kinder than them. Not because you are rich and kind, but because you are rich and kind. "
This is similar to the sentence in Jia Pingwa's prose "The Painter": "The poor are easy to be cruel, and the rich are often gentle."
This sentence can be expressed in several ways-if I were in your position, I would do better than you; If I am a rich second generation, I will get along better than those rich second generations; If I had so much money, I would donate more than you. ...
But is this really the case?
There is a program called deformation meter, which allows rural children and urban children to exchange a few days to experience life. I have a very deep memory. When I was a child, I was obsessed with reading in the countryside and loved learning. After he moved to the city, he watched TV and played games every day. Even if there are many books at home, he never looks at them.
People lack self-control and imagination about things they have never seen before.
Those who hold the idea that "if I were you, I would do better than you" underestimate the original difficulty of doing it.
The last hate of the gold driver is not really "hating the rich", but "hating that he doesn't have money".
Judging from word of mouth and awards, Parasite is undoubtedly a success. Director Feng Junhao told a story of "There are no bad guys, but the tragedy still happened".
No one is absolutely good and no one is absolutely bad.
Absolute right or wrong never exists, and 100% of the contradictions in the world are determined by "positions".
When the tragedy happened, no one was innocent, but the "misunderstanding" of the poor to the rich may continue.
