Propped Up By The Establishment For Woke Points
"Parasite," I started hearing about it and seeing it online. What is it? It's about Koreans? It won best picture?
:( right away I knew without a doubt exactly what this was without even needing to see it: some mediocre pablum that people can flaunt as making them "diverse" or whatever because it's got Koreans (uh huh... I get it, white guilt, wank wank), subtitles (more white guilt, wank wankitty sploogey doo), and offers a shallow and one-dimensional look at class differences (life isn't fair... derp). There's probably a tranny in this movie too, to check another woke box.
Where did this movie even come from? Its sole purpose seems to be for the Oscars to wear it like a sign around its neck saying "WOKE. OH BTW, HOLLYWOOD HAS SUCKED MASSIVE DONKEY BALLS SINCE AROUND 2002." Ugh. So soulless.
You know... something else I find with these new movies, they're so fuckin boring. Like, they are all so insufferably unimaginative. Take Event Horizon, a throwaway SciFi film from the 90s, that at least had a compelling and original premise that hadn't quite been done before: a spaceship with a black hole for an engine. And it wasn't about the special effects; oh no, not by a long shot. The premise was quite artfully expanded upon by the writers.
So what's "Parasite" about, this movie being shoved in our faces like it's the greatest thing since Casablanca? Some stupid hired help drama that happens in Korea! Is it FUNNY? Is it INTRIGUING? Is it CLEVER? What's so SPECIAL about it? NOTHING!
Big movies had something unique or compelling going for them back in the day, damn it! They had something IN the sandwich, not just a pretty garnish! Indiana Jones had melting Nazis, Predator had the Predator, Independence Day had the white house exploding, and they ALL had at least COMPETENT scriptwriting!
WTF is this half-baked film school crap??
