Holy shit guys! Not only did Parasite win the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film, but also the Best Film :sj_weary:

Bong Joon Ho also won Best Director and Best Original Screenplay.

Totally deserved, one of the finest movies I've seen in years, even made a thread about it here:


Anyway, anybody who's yet to watch the movie, please do so. It's fantastic.



On that note, here's the most viral line from the movie, the Jessica jingle:




And on a slightly related note, stream the MV featuring the hot mom from Parasite- Cho Yeong Jeong:

Damn, this is really unprecedented. For them to win Best Picture straight up. That's a historic moment. :nekosweat:

First foreign film ever to win Best Picture wow :nekosweat:

When they won Best International Film, I thought that was it, this is the Academy's way to sideline them from the main award.

But then they won both Best Director and Best Picture :sj_weary:

I haven't watched the Oscars in years but I did tonight cause my mom was bored and invited me over to watch them with her. Never e en heard of Parasite but it keep winning Oscar after Oscar so I knew what I was watching unfold was historical.

That was a great moment when the Director mentioned Martin Scorsese and Quinton Tarantino.

Some people I know were upset by this which I found confusing... I guess maybe because "It's an American awards show so only American movies should be able to participate" or something dumb like that... What's funny is that they didn't even watch any of the movies from this year so how can they even judge. So dumb. But congrats to Parasite c:
People who don't know how to appreciate a good film for sure. I've seen most of the movies nominated on the same category (and those are great movies as well, 2019 was a good year) and Parasite was easily the one that stood out for me the most. It has something that makes you understand the point of view of each character without taking sides for one or the other and also starts being light-hearted/funny and then becomes harsh and creepy.

Go to watch it because it's a great movie with a lot social criticism but really enjoyable and surprising.
That's my favorite thing about Parasite.

Usually with most Oscar winners, you can see the Oscar bait in the movie. And they're intentionally made in a very "high-brow" way where "commoners" don't get what's so great about the movie and "intellectuals" can use it to show off their superior taste lmao.

But Parasite tackles complex themes, juggles multiple genres while being extremely mainstream and commercial throughout. No wonder it's a massive box office success too and so universally acclaimed, anyone can watch it and have a great time.
