PARASITE Director Bong Joon-ho Breaks Down The Opening Scene of His Incredible Film
Parasite is easily one of the best films of the year. It’s such a mesmerizing movie and I’ve seen it twice already. Both times the theaters were packed full of people. It’s great to see audiences flocking to still see the movie before it leaves theaters.
Director Bong Joon-ho and actor Choi Woo-shik teamed up with Vanity Fair to offer fans a video break down of the opening scene of the film. It’s fascinating listening to them talk about how these scenes were constructed and the practical sets that were constructed for the project. It’s pretty incredible to hear about the crazy attention to detail they put into developing this movie.
Writer-director, Bong Joon-ho, and actor, Woo-sik Choi, break down the symbolism of the gift scene in their critically-acclaimed foreign film, 'Parasite.' They take us through the bizarre moment we first see the scholar stone and explain how scavenging for set materials and costume design helped create a world that highlights the disparities of wealth and poverty.
If you haven’t seen Parasite yet, this is a movie that you don’t want to miss out on! Go see it!
