POST 3: MOVIES AND/OR SERIES THAT YOU WOULD RECOMMEND

 Dear readers, today I will show you my best film recommendation. Although I am not a cinephile, there are some movies that have captivated me and that have given me deep reflections. 

Personally, I prefer movies with political content and strongly questioning social messages. In this case, Parasite (2020), an award winning movie directed by Bong Joon Ho, shows us that the word "parasite" has a double meaning. In this sense, the movie puts two opposite family realities in a dramatic frame. It seems that they do not have much in common, but it turns out to be a great contrast between differences in power, class and life of each one of the characters, and what part of society each family represents.

The Kims, mother and father Chung-sook and Ki-taek, and their young adult offspring, son Ki-woo and daughter Ki-jung , are a poor family living in a shabby and cramped half basement apartment in a busy lower working class commercial district of Seoul, South Korea. They are out of work, when his eldest son, Ki- Woo, starts giving private lessons at the wealthy Park house, the two families, who have much in common despite belonging to two totally different worlds, enter into a relationship with unpredictable results.

Undoubtedly, this movie represents a transcendental social critique in our capitalist and globalized world. Allowing the audience to notice in a comical and even terrifying way, spatial, real estate, urban, health, labor and psychosocial injustices.
