Before Robert Pattinson graces the screen in Bong Joon-ho's upcoming sci-fi thriller, 'Mickey 17', moviegoers can revisit the director's previous triumph, 'Parasite', now streaming on Netflix. This Academy Award-winning film delves into the intricacies of class disparity and the complexities of human relationships through a darkly comedic and thought-provoking lens.
2023 promises a slate of captivating movies, with titles like James Gunn's Superman and Ryan Coogler's Sinners generating immense anticipation. Bong Joon-ho, the acclaimed director, returns with his latest sci-fi venture, Mickey 17 , scheduled for a March 7 release in the U.S. Before flocking to theaters to witness Robert Pattinson in his latest role, cinephiles can revisit Bong Joon-ho's previous masterpiece, the 2019 film Parasite, available on Netflix .
Parasite, a critically acclaimed and commercially successful film, explored the complexities of wealth disparity and class systems in a groundbreaking and imaginative manner. The Korean-language film centers around two families: the affluent Parks, who enjoy a luxurious lifestyle with a retinue of domestic staff, and the Kims, a working-class family struggling to make ends meet in a cramped basement apartment. Parasite masterfully portrays the stark divide between the haves and the have-nots, as the Kims attempt to improve their circumstances while catering to the Parks' every need. The film's popularity in the U.S. was undeniable, becoming one of the year's biggest box office successes. Against a production budget of approximately $11.4 million, Parasite grossed $262.1 million worldwide. Critics and audiences alike lauded Bong Joon-ho's latest mind-bending creation, with Rotten Tomatoes awarding it a near-perfect, Certified Fresh critics' rating of 99%. Parasite's triumph at the Academy Awards was a testament to its exceptional quality. Facing stiff competition that year, Parasite emerged victorious, securing the Best Picture award against other notable contenders, including Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood and Martin Scorsese's The Irishman. Bong Joon-ho also received accolades for Best Director and Best Original Screenplay, while the film earned the Best International Feature Film award.It is unsurprising that Bong Joon-ho took over five years to release another film after the critical and commercial success of Parasite. The anticipation surrounding Mickey 17's theatrical debut is palpable, but in the meantime, curious viewers can immerse themselves in the brilliance of Parasite, now streaming on Netflix.
