>If the divide between the rich and the poor weren't so bad, the poor wouldn't have to do awful things and be awful people
Is this responsible messaging?
If the divide between the rich and the poor weren't so bad...
this is a co-morbid situation. yes, they're poor. yes, they're pieces of shit sometimes.
to give an anecdotal experience, my cousin fell into some bad luck, would've became homeless if not for family. he had something to fall back to.
this movie has that, family. which makes it incredibly profane. they had community, the one dude had a gf, yet they decided to fuck up some retarded rich dude's house. i feel no sympathy for them in the ending, except the hot girl died.
Who cares?
Its a movie not a political brochure.
Everyone is a piece of shit, even Maria Theresa. Problem is poverty really brings out the worst of some people. Rich people can also become worse people but the reality is, there's more poor people and there is much more damage they will do to society as a whole.
i for one think the situation is hopeless. human beings are inherently evil. it doesn't matter if they're rich or poor.
The poor are poor because they’re already awful people
t. only uses "kino" ironically or flippantly
Okay, good! We don't have to worry about making the world a better place because the situation is hopeless anyways
The poor family are assholes.
That said, feeling no sympathy? They showed some degree of concern for every person they conned. Even the housekeeper lady and her crazy husband they eventually showed some concession to, far too late, but they aren't inhumanly cruel or callous.
Just humanly cruel and callous.

The whole point of the aristocracy was for the betterment of the realm/nation; that's why they were put in charge.
It's checks and balances: when the nobility fails its people, the people rebel and chop of their heads.
It's a hierarchical feedback loop as old as human civilization.
So if the modern aristocracy (the Neoliberal Managerial Class) fails society, then they deserve a consequence as well. I think forcing them to work at Walmart in a flyover state would be a poetic punishment for their failures: a fate worst than death for most of them.
Now if you take the glib libertarian route and say "well fuck the poor, every man for himself", then the gloves are off and there's no social contract that protects the rich from the masses.
The rich should stay rich only if they lift the nation (including the poor) with them. The minute they get indolent or selfish, they shouldn't be rich anymore as their usefulness to the nation has expired.
Parasite was a really great, entertaining movie, but you should cut anyone out of your life who watches the movie and thinks the rich people did anything wrong at all.
The rich people didn't do much at all wrong, you're right, but they undeniably live in a bubble. I think the movie is criticizing the bubble they live in and the whateverisoppositeofabubble the poor family live in.
Criticizing, or at least shining a light on it.
It's saying all humanity are assholes
Isn't the only one who kind of felt sympathy the Father and the Son? The Father felt sympathy for the driver and the couple locked down in the basement shelter thing, and the son at least felt sympathy for the couple locked in the basement shelter as well. I've only seen the movie once and it's been a couple weeks so apologies if I'm misremembering or forgetting something, but the Mom showed little sympathy at all and it seemed her and the Daughter were more worried about getting caught than anything.
Is it responsible messaging for you to be such a faggot online?
Think of the example you're setting.
What's wrong with living a good life? Is there some virtue in being troubled and vicious? The poor family even managed to escape poverty at the end, and all they had to do was try. If anything, it's the poor characters that live in a bubble.
Not the daughter, she's fucking dead.
That sounds good and dandy but
>people rebel and chop of their heads
doesn't actually happen. Even the french revolution was led by the petite-bourgeoisie. Actual workers, laborers and farmers have very little time or will to care about the grand scheme of things and so, as long as their fed and entertained, will never rise up.
>Is there some virtue in being troubled and vicious?
Yes. The mentally will not be silenced. Our day has come.
why was the rich family so obsessed with american culture?
I think I read that is what rich folk do over there. They think like western culture is fancy or something like that, or at least it makes them sound fancy.
Must be a rude awakening when they actually come here
kys bootlicker
Jessica nice
The only message I got from this movie is that the poor are scum.
>Is this responsible messaging?
Yes. Now import in millions of Africans or you are racist.
>Street smart poor people fuck over hard working class people
This movie is saying that the upper and middle class should unite and kill the poor
I thought everything was political?
>leftist calling anyone else a bootlicker
People really dont get the basic dichotomy of this film is that the violence and shittiness of the rich is built into the system, its organizations and institutions; they literally can't support themselves and live off of (literally live on top of) people that do everything for them, and treat them with contempt and as utterly disposable, they are awful too but in different ways - while the only instruments of violence the poor have are ones of brute force. And in lashing out they only harm eachother fighting for scraps, and in the end they only trade spaces in the basement, still at the bottom of the hierarchy
>yes, they're poor. yes, they're pieces of shit sometimes.
Ever heard of niche selection pressure? I’m afraid to tell you those things you thought were poor are not sometimes anything.
That’s just the personal. Social commentary is philosophy not politics.
