Parasite, A movie with a powerful message

Movies are for our recreation, and in most cases, the purpose of a movie is to entertain us, unless it's a documentary movie. Movies are made based on a mixture of real-life experience and the power of the imagination of the movie writer. That's the reason why, in a movie, we can see many similarities with real life, and again, we can see many things that are nearly impossible in real life.

Indeed, movies are for entertainment, but most of them leave some powerful message as a lesson. It depends on us if we can get those messages or not, because if we only focus on entertainment parts, there is a huge possibility of missing those messages from a movie. There is nothing wrong with only focusing on the entertaining part, as it's the purpose of a movie, but what's wrong with receiving the additional messages hidden in a movie when it's beneficial to us?

Today I am going to talk about a movie that gives a lot of powerful messages as a lesson. I was quite amazed after seeing the movie. The story was powerful, and the way it was presented was impressive. The name of the movie is "Parasite" which was released in 2019.

To see the movie's name, I thought the movie related to biological parasites, but after watching half of the movie, I realized that there was nothing like that, and I started to feel what the name of the movie meant.

It's a movie that shows the differences between rich and poor people. It gives a message that when poor people are struggling to survive, rich people enjoy their regular lives without any kind of disturbance. In our society, the discrimination between poor and rich people is huge.

Having the desire to enjoy a luxurious life is very natural, and for that reason, people need to work hard, earn money, and then enjoy the luxurious life because money is the thing people need if they want a luxurious life. In this movie, there was no difference. The poor family members wanted to live a life of luxury, and they tried their best to improve their lifestyle. At first, one family member secured a working place in the rich family, and using various kinds of tactics, all the family members got jobs in the rich family.

To get a job in the family, they didn't hesitate to use dirty tactics. After that, they fulfill their luxurious lifestyle or desire, depending on the rich family, as a parasite does. The ending of the movie was terrific.

To see the ending, it indirectly gives us a very important message, and the message is, "We need to be self-dependent if we want to achieve something in our lives. We can't spend our entire lives depending on others, like parasites, and it's not sustainable either. Self-dependency makes us responsible." I also think that the lifestyle of everyone is not the same, and we should try to live a good lifestyle based on our capacity; otherwise, it's harmful to us.

There may have been some other message in the movie that I wasn't able to understand, but within my understanding, I feel the message I got from the move is very precious, and I think it inspires me to become self-dependent.
