Director Bong Joon-ho said, "I think it will be difficult for foreigners to understand the movie because it is so Korean."
However, it won the top prize at the Cannes Film Festival. And now it's rocking the North American theater.
Now, a video posted by North American movie distributor Neon on SNS is a hot topic.
"Jessica, only child, from Illinois Chicago, My classmate is Kim Jin-mo, he's your cousin."
In the movie, she pretends to study in Chicago, Illinois, for camouflage employment, and she is also hiding her identity as brotherless only daughter whose name is Jessica. The original version of the song she sang for the memorization of her fraud identity is ‘Dokdo is our land’. As the movie becomes popular, the song's response is also very hot.
Director Bong Joon-ho's witty lips are also drawing attention.
Following the Cannes Film Festival's top award, he won the Filmmaker's Award in Hollywood ahead of the Academy Awards in February next year.
It's related to the hot reactions of the U.S. and Canada towards the movie parasite.
It's a Korean-language film, so you guys have to watch it through English subtitles, but the audience is already coming in.
When it opened a month ago, there were only three theaters, but now it's increased to almost 500.
In the unfamiliar Korean movie, the New York Times and the Washington Post said that the movie is the best.
As you know all the people in the world deeply sympathize with the conflicts between the upper and lower classes and the rich and the poor, even though they differ in languages and cultures.
Bong's commentary, which depicts major scenes in the movie at the level of the local audience, is also drawing attention.
The scene that teaches Song Kwang-ho how to act was described in the U.S. "It's as if Ansel Elgort is teaching acting to Al Pacino.”
When a U.S. reporter asked why Korean films could not be nominated for an Academy Award, he also offered a witty remark piercing home targeting the Academy Awards, saying, "Oscar is not an international film festival, but a local event."
