Parasite was incredible, i don't know what the overrated talk was all about. You're just not supposed to be able to effortlessly shift genres and tone like that, and have the movie still work. and it works beautifully. i don't think i've seen anything quite like it.
Pffft. OK, hipster chodecat.
It really wasn't all that enjoyable, interesting, or special in any way. Big fat meh.
Death of Stalin had some absolutely hilarious moments. I think it ran too long.
You didn't find the first act comedy enjoyable?
You didn't find the plot interesting?
I already explained how it was special thematically.
You can just say you didn't like it.
Without spoilers, I just thought the whole premise was too contrived, and then it was just kinda boring. And I don’t think the foreign language / subs were the reason for that. I can think of other subtitled movies I’ve really liked. To me, this is kinda like what happened with other movies (Ex Machina comes to mind), where there seem to be a lot of people who want Parasite to be a lot more profound than it actually is.
Interestingly, after watching and really enjoying The Platform, I read that many are comparing it to Snowpiercer. I thought Snowpiercer was visually interesting, at least for a while, but had such a stupid premise that I couldn’t enjoy it. And Snowpiercer and Parasite have the same director so maybe there’s something in common there that I just don’t like.
