The Oscar 2020 is also different because for the very first time in the history of Oacar a film of foreign
language got the award of best film. From the 92nd Academy Awards Parasite has been attributed to be the
best and most poignant movie of the year in terms of its tense genre particulars exemplary performances

The Intricate Depiction Of Poverty
At the bottom of the economic ladder people often have to struggle to climb out of poverty that pervades
every choice of an individual a phenomenon so artfully portrayed in Parasite. The Kim family is desperate
to creak by get their respective positions working for the Park family through a campaign of sly con-finesse
upholding the extreme hustle and sometimes-rule-skirting that is needed to earn a living in a commercially
hostile world.
The Real Barnacle
The film demonstrates poverty anguish and inequality highlighting both that poor families are
economically dependent on wealthy ones yet the lives of the wealthy are practically dependent on the work
of working-class families and beg the question of which family is the truly ‘parasitic’ one. Finally the film
dramatizes the extreme traditional separations between wealthy and poor people in the world a theme
touched upon in an earlier interview with director Bong Joon-ho:
slide 2: “In reality it’s very rare for the poor and rich to come that close. In society we operate in completely
different areas. In flights we have first-class and the economy we go to different restaurants we’re always
separated in the spaces that we occupy. Only when they’re working as tutors drivers and housekeepers do
we have the opportunity to come close to each other.”
Subtle Distinctions
‘Smell’ has acted as a common referent in the movie deployed through masterful thematic resonance
dramatizing one of the defining international issues executed with an impressive set of skills which has best
deserved the nomination of the year.
