They need to quarantine that place for coronavirus.
DaBaiMa
I’ve heard only good reviews. Can’t wait to see it. Glad that a non-English language movie has finally broken through.
TheOvy
It's rare for the Best Picture winner to actually deserve it. Parasite is fantastic.
RhinosRfatUnicorns
The Oscars lost me when fucking Birdman won Best Picture. That movie still pisses me off.
Foffer
First time in a long fucking time I agree with the Academy about best picture.
mrdude88
Damn,I still need to watch this film. It’s been on my bucket list for a hot minute. And now it won one of many highest American film award.
trialOne
I have to be fought to watch subbed movies and this one was fantastic

Guessing this is the work of Cole Walliser cause he's the one that I always see doing these on red carpet events. Look him up, he's awesome!
steviEa
How did they shoot this?
ForboJack
If you've never watched south Korean movies, then boy are you in for a treat.
tastydeth
Just watched that movie last week, really enjoyed it.
lokitoki81
Parasite.... the best movie ive seen in years.... Yup its that good!
KaiDeeBeach
YES. I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS GIF!
Treblaine
Did the cameraman just fall down an open manhole?

ruferto
i havent seen it this year, someone said told me that it was only movie they saw better than Joker
RogerTheCactus
Jokes has a briliant preformance by Joaquin Phoenex- which was rewarded, but quality wise as a whole movie it's not really that great.
theBonyEaredAssfish
For those interested: as much as I loved ????????, I still think ???????? ?? ?????? (2003) is Bong Joon-ho's best film. Check it out!
etoolander
I agree! A mystery/thriller with some comical elements, and just as quirky as Parasite
Br0doSwaggins
I've only seen Snowpiercer, I thought that was pretty good, so I'm excited to watch Parasite.
JimDoesntCarrey
Completely different style, but both excellent movies nonetheless
aldashin
Reported. Left side of the image has excessive handsomeness.
WendyTheWendigo
He's way too dashing
aldashin
I'm sayin'
boomdeboom
Fucking awesome movie!
nanooknono
I feel bad for the 9th most important person in that production.

Oh it's actually called Parasite? I thought this was a joke about Corona virus
Unknowninterference
troodonejs24
Literally every other movie nominated for best picture was better than this one.
KingKitano
RyanSullivan89
You've seen all 10?
SeregRauko
You're entitled to your opinion, and taste in art is subjective. But IMHO Parasite was the most original of them all. 1/2
SeregRauko
Joker, Irishman and 1917 are good but I've seen Taxi Driver, every Scorsese movie and Saving Private Ryan before. 2/2
illuminatis52
That's certainly your opinion. I didn't see all the nominees, but Parasite was my favorite out of the ones I did see.
Atomic2
I liked Jojo rabbit more but I also don't think it was best picture worthy. Every year I find less and less in common with the Oscars though
illuminatis52
Yeah, I haven't Seen Jojo Rabbit yet, but I plan to. And some years the crop of movies are weaker than others.
valekseye
All I can think is corona virus
youfckingtool
Omg they all look so different in the movie!!!
ochermes28
It’s a weird quirky film about a bunch of scam artists who take down some snotty rich people.
WhatRaySay
The genuine reactions of these people, and the other attendees responses to them, has definitely convinced me to check this movie out +1
vaginabond
It is excellent and I recommend it highly. And: do not read anything about the plot in advance. Let it take you through in the theatre.
softballguy
Definitely check it out! It's not just a great movie experience, but like a of the truly great ones, it'll stay with you for a while.
TheDayTheBrainStoodStill
Don't watch the movie because the cast and crew had a 'genuine reaction' - watch it because it's excellent.
TheDayTheBrainStoodStill
Damn influencer culture infecting everything. I don't need my plumber to be 'genuine', I prefer them grumpy and competent.
WhatRaySay
Right, but I wouldn't know that it's excellent if not for the huge award they received and the news coverage it's getting. Take it easy dude
TheDayTheBrainStoodStill
That's great! I was merely responding to what you said specifically in your post, ie the genuineness definitely convinced you not the Oscar.
WhatRaySay
I hear ya, and I don't disagree with the general sentiment, I just also found their collective attitudes to be refreshingly genuine
Traja01
This movie made history for Korea. First foreign language best picture, first Korean palme d’or. They must be stoked
FourLegsGood
Yes. Recognition by the US. Happy feelings.
Traja01
They sure seem happy about it. It’s the most prestigious award in their field. Not really the US.
FourLegsGood
All countries have awards. This is about the American industry. America recognised them. This is important to people.
Traja01
No, America didn’t recognize them, the academy did. They’re a private association. And what’s important is that it’s the premier award.
hertta
Meh, SK has had a long history of producing excellent films. This one, while good, Best Picture is surprising.
Traja01
Agree on the first part, disagree on the second
hertta
Nothing about the movie was spectacular, other than its nonchalant weirdness.
Traja01
I didn’t think it was particularly weird, at least as compared to some other Korean movies.
ZircZZ
It is absolutely worth it. Brilliant film!
zonedkBandit
I thoroughly enjoyed it. It’s worth more than one viewing imo
CoachMcgurl
I kept thinking that Parasite was a live action version of the Manga.
BallsackHippo
Same here
NoodleyLove
There is a LA of Parasyte, but this is not it. It has Kazuki Kitamura. <3
MySpooNiz2biG
The anime was pretty decent, too.
StuckInBetweeen
Decent? How dare you.
veryfakemod
It was the first anime I got hooked on to due to the first scene
XRay0976
Hmmm, you mean best picture.....Coronovirus?
iggylights
Am I that out of touch with pop culture that I truly never heard of the movie that won best picture this year? I need to get out more.
TeamToasterNeverForget
Don’t worry.. you didn’t miss much..
makethefrogblockthelog
Most of the anglophone world doesn't seek out foreign language cinema. Missed opportunity as there's great content in many languages now.
normalushall5
Such a good movie. Even people I know who aren't all about indie films loved that movie.
GameOfLiesAndDeath
It's not required to be involved with stuff that's popular. Keep doing you.
gorgeousninja
The answer is yes , sorry. Perhaps get out and watch more indie movies and avoid blockbuster trash
TheOvy
It grossed $35 million in USA, which is very good for a foreign feature. I saw it back in November due to the hype. It's worth it.
ProlificFizz
It was a foreign film, probably has something to do with it
GraboidApocalypse
Saw this movie before it came out in the states and instantly knew it was the best movie this year and was going to win big.
Beeatris
I pretty much ignore all the movies coming out but all my friends kept talking about this one. Might just be where you live
Playmaker101
A family pretends to be a hired help crew for a rich family and shit goes south fast
freiman
I think it is on Netflix not 100% though
joshsam
It was so fuckn good I saw it at the Alamo drafthouse.. fantastic movie
icer190
I remember seeing the trailer at Alamo, looking to my wife, and we both agreed that we were never going to see it.
RoulettesPlay
Alamo Drafthouse \o/ +1
stopMammothTime
Me too!! It was my first Alamo experience and it was PHENOMENAL!!
ParadoxicalSheep
Alamo is the shit. Makes you feel like a kid again while you drink boozy milkshakes
RisingPhoenix92
Watch the Roosterteeth podcast and I just want to go to Austin to go to the Alamo drafthouse based off of what I heard
Duendes
Just experienced the Alamo drafthouse for the first time yesterday. I need to move to Texas
ArcaneConjecture
There is one in Yonkers, NY.
j4gr
They have Alamo draft house in DC. (Well across the Potomac in Arlington.)
WereAllAssholesIJustAdmitIt
What city do you live in that doesnt have food and beer in their movie theaters?
joshsam
I go to the one in Raleigh NC
EpiDots
Alamo also has a no phone/no talking policy, which is wonderful.
Duendes
^ This. Love the commercial https://youtu.be/1L3eeC2lJZs
WereAllAssholesIJustAdmitIt
With Netflix etc anyone paying $18 to see a movie is going to concentrate on seeing the movie. Phones/talking hasn't been an issue for years
RideTheStimutacs
Stop what you're doing and watch Bong Joon-ho's entire filmography right now.
Jattetont
Memories of Murder, The Host, Snowpiercer are good places to start!
vayxes
Because its a south korean film. People don't want to go to the movies to read i guess
gandolffoogray
Pfft, people should just learn Korean! How hard could it be?! *tries to learn Korean* Okay, I see, never mind.
elShiz
As a half Korean who shamefully "lost" his ability to speak fluently many years ago... It's hard haha
gandolffoogray
I'm also half Korean! Didn't learn growing up, but after years of intensive study I can speak Korean about as well as a three year-old kid!
elShiz
No way! Haha that's crazy. I can really only order some food & tell Koreans my mom is Korean because I don't look Korean at all, thanks dad.
Quaxx
Ever heard of dubbing? Imagine only watching the tiny bit of movies that are shot in your mother language.
CatsUpvoteTerror
Brah there are far too many films in English alone to keep up with
vayxes
South korea has a great film industry, It won film of the year. But american audiences dont want to have to read
FisterC
*can't read
3dartwork
You aren't. I had only heard of the name of the film. Foreign films seldom get advertised well in the U.S.
Hostilenemy
It's really a good movie. You should watch it.
garuffthehorse
It's so fucking good
RDSRELOADED
it was constantly popping up in /r/movies in reddit in like the last half year or something
Alecchi
The director was on Jimmy Fallon which is pretty popular both tv and youtube wise
EhIsForCanehdians
I had heard of it, but I know nothing about it.
YouTurnThePageYouWashYourHands
There's a poster for it at the AFI theater in downtown Silver Spring, MD but I assumed it was a small indie film playing in like 5 theaters.
MacEifer
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrNgfDYAbrI
TheBlackSw0rdsman
It's not your fault. It didn't have a "strong" marketing campaign compared to Hollywood movies.
theBonyEaredAssfish
I saw it in a theater a few weeks ago during a weekday and the theater was actually packed.
theluckyking
Had lots of advertising on youtube for me, maybe because my gf has watched several Korean films
youfckingtool
It’s been in every film section of every website the last 3 months so yes you need to get out more
gzik66
Sorry it wasn't amerikanisch enough!
illuminatis52
People have been talking about it for a while since it came out. If you like thrillers, it's a good watch.
TheGreatAku
It's a great film, but not my favorite by the director. Check out Snowpiercer, The Host, Mother, and Okja if you're interested
finglonger
moral of the story is that Bong Joon Ho is a fucking legend. I've seen all but Okja and they're all outstanding
TheGreatAku
Oh yeah, he's been one of my favorites for a long time. Okja is a Netflix exclusive, so check it out
Bootsy81
I hadn't heard of moonlight when it won, still haven't seen it either. It's not just you dude.
troodonejs24
Or maybe it's the Academy that's out of touch with pop culture, thus explaining how this movie got the award.
HurtfulTurkey
The Academy is out of touch, without a doubt. It's all an advertising game. But Best Picture going to a foreign film is still huge.
howToLoseTheGame
Nah they're just trying to widen their audience
NoogyBoogers
Its REEEAAAALLY good.
HobbitHouse
oscar nominees spend money on ads etc to lobby for their nomination and win. You probably weren't the target of the ads.
Quaxx
It is kind of sad. From all great productions worldwide most people only watch the ones that are heavily advertised in their country.
lancelot027
Kinda makes sense tho apart from the cinephiles pointedly try to watch every movie made in a given year.
highteck9
I never heard of it till I got on imgur lol
finglonger
it's fantastic. very fucking fantastic
ImNotAnOrange
i've heard of it only because I watch people talk about movies on youtube, ive never heard of anyone mention the movie outside of that
manslut
If you follow like... real movies yeah there was a lot of buzz around it when it was coming out.
lovelyboredom
Didn't hear about it till November ish... (Not sure when it came out), but I haven't heard a single bad thing.
MissTuchanka
I had seen it but I'm already watching Korean movies and TV. Same guy who did the host and snowpiercer. It's good stuff.
Gayforbae
I heard a lot about it on npr...
CoachMcgurl
That's just how the Oscars have always been. A bunch of movies get nominated that you've never heard of until the Oscars.
Secsletariat
It had some ads here in the UK IIRC but the only reason I really know of it is because the movie-focused youtube channels I sub to loved it.
DarthYoga
You should see his others movies, many of which star the same actors. Watch 'A Taxi Driver'.
emigrant22
It's exceptional. You should treat yourself.
Traja01
It wasn’t well advertised. Was mostly in art house theaters around me.
DickMercenary
So it's overhyped probably pretentious garbage?
ferretvest
Overhyped, sure but not pretentious
AlbusBrianWulfricPercivalDumbledore
I loved the lack of advertising. Going into the movie with no spoilers was incredible
TheOvy
It made $35 million in the USA, which, while paling in comparison to blockbusters, is fantastic for a foreign film.
dan144
4x the Irishman
TheOvy
The Irishman was shown on 250 screens in America. Parasite's widest release was around 2,000.
nickemartin123456
Irishman basically went straight to Netflix. They did just enough screenings to be eligible for awards.
majid95
You are not alone bro... every one jumped to their trailer right after they won best picture award
Imnotjokinbitch
I work for a movie theatre and I had to go to the private artsy theatre. Worth every penny
jonlememe
It was one of the most talked about films...
rhetoricIjustmether
Maybe in some little circles but no one was talking about this until today.
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
Only place I really hear about movies is imgur, and Joker was all that was talked about that I can remember. A little bit of OUATIH.
blueknot
Just not anywhere near where you could hear.
illuminatis52
Maybe not in your circle, but in my area, everyone was talking about it, so it varies. But like most foreign films, it wasn't promoted a ton
blueknot
Are you in a "major city"?
illuminatis52
I'm in a major metropolitan area, so I realize we get a wider variety of films than some places. But it seemed like most theaters had it.
DJent777
Nobody talked about this movie in any of my circles and still hasnt. I see everyone jumping in now that it won.
illuminatis52
Now's a good chance to see it then!
Jattetont
If you have an interest in good films, I would recommend seeking out better circles, then. You could follow coverage of film festivals etc.
DJent777
I mean this with respect and not a diss of any kind, but "good films" is subjective. That being said, I do intend to give this a watch
Jattetont
Sure it is, but if this sort of movie is something you're interested in, you "should" have heard of it (well-known director, winner of the >
