कहानी

In this darkly comedic masterpiece, a destitute family of four, led by father Ki-taek, struggles to make ends meet in modern-day South Korea. The family's circumstances are so dire that they can't even afford the most basic necessities, let alone luxuries like a decent apartment or steady income. One day, while rummaging through discarded trash cans for food and other salvageable items, Ki-taek's son, Ki-woo, stumbles upon an ad seeking an English tutor. Seeing this as his ticket out of poverty, Ki-woo fakes a college degree and applies for the position at the Park family's opulent home. The Parks, led by patriarch Mr. Park and his socialite wife, Yeon-kyo, are oblivious to the struggles faced by those on the other side of the class divide. They're more concerned with their own privileged lives, indulging in lavish parties and flaunting their wealth. Ki-woo's cleverness and quick thinking impress the family, earning him a position as an English tutor for their daughter, Da-hye. As Ki-woo becomes embroiled in the Parks' lives, his family members also find ways to infiltrate the household, posing as unrelated, highly qualified individuals. There's Ki-chung, who takes over as the family's new driver; Mi-ja, who becomes the Parks' charming housekeeper; and Chung-sook, who fakes being a university art therapist. The film masterfully weaves together themes of class struggle, social commentary, and satire, highlighting the stark contrasts between the haves and have-nots. As tensions rise, the boundaries between the two worlds begin to blur, leading to unexpected consequences that challenge the very fabric of society. Through a series of cleverly orchestrated events, the film takes aim at the notion of "otherness," questioning the assumptions we make about people based on their socioeconomic status. Parasite is a biting critique of capitalism's darker aspects, reminding us that even in the most seemingly affluent societies, there are those fighting to survive just beneath the surface. In this darkly comedic masterpiece, Park Chan-wook crafts a gripping narrative that will leave you questioning the morals and ethics of those involved. Will the parasites be able to maintain their ruse, or will the truth come crashing down around them? Find out in this riveting film that's sure to leave you on the edge of your seat.
