Damn, I didn't know that. I don't really expect imperial core media to be socialist, but a scene of a poor person blaming the rich or a scene showing a rich person being shit to the workers wouldn't be that hard no?
i mean i came off the movie viewing the rich family very negatively, like the rich dad literally
spoiler
abandons a person to die because of his son had a faintits not directly said but the message is very heavily implied
the message of the film is saying that even if an individual member of the bourgeois is "nice" they by virtue of their position is an exploiter, being too heavy handed with it kinda fucks with that message
His son would die in 15 minutes or sth due to the seizure, the scenario wasn't that black/white
That was said by his mother who was already shown to go to the worst case scenario, like the scene where her son's art gets evaluated. The son wasn't in any danger as it was a psychological response and not a life threatening condition. The mom might've believed there was legit danger, but in the context of the movie, the son would've been fine.
Yeah my bad, I often miss such behavior details
I think that's by design actually. As the viewer, we're led to believe the wealthy person who treats their problem like an emergency. It's only through paying attention to the details that you can see how minor their problems are.
They were both affected by rain for example. The wealthy family complained a lot more about day camp being cancelled than the family who had to deal with flooding and displacement.
Parasite really highlights how the wealthy get sympathy by default.
did you miss the part where they talk about the way poor people smell
Is that the worse thing your average bourgeoisie would do? It isn't even in the top 50
