Shanna’s Recommendation! :)

 

This is my movie recommendation!

Parasite, 2019, directed by Bong Joon-ho.

What starts off as a pretty lighthearted, funny movie in the beginning. The viewer can somewhat get quickly met with a whirlwind of emotions throughout the whole film.

You get introduced to a low income family in South Korea scheming ways to work for a rich well off family, all finding creative methods to get hired. 

Once that peak of happiness passes, the movie takes a twisted turn relating to both families and putting a lot of attention on social class and wealth. It’s a wild movie from start to finish, all flowing so naturally and hitting different genres, comedy, thriller, and lightly touching on horror. 

I suggest this movie for anyone who is okay with getting mind-screwed from its plot and well executed manipulation from the director.

I assure you, the suspense and humor will keep you both engaged and on the edge of your seat!!
