5 Valuable Life Lessons From Oscar-Winning Film Parasite
Whether you have seen the film or not, these ideas can be worth reflecting on
I see movies as an extension of our humanity, potentially able to open new points of view. Not only movies entertain us and sometimes inspire us, once in a while they make us reflect. Parasite definitely stirred up some thoughts in my head and I felt inspired to extract some wisdom out of it.
If you’re unfamiliar with Parasite, it’s a South Korean movie directed by Bong Joon Ho. Discussed and ranked by many as the best movie of 2019, it recently received 4 Oscars and many other film awards.
The film tells a story of a relationship between the poor Kims and the rich Parks. The Kim family lives in horrible conditions, constantly struggling with money while the wealthy Park family leads a seemingly effortless life. The narrative follows these two different worlds meeting and sooner or later clashing.
Without focusing on the plot or spoiling it too much, here are the lessons that I found valuable from the Parasite. Whether you have seen the film or not, these ideas can be worth reflecting on.
