Not knowing Korean culture, it is very difficult to understand some moments from the film "Parasites". The editors of 24cmi disassembled 8 parts that only Koreans understand.
1. Ramdon dish
The original sounds like "Chapaguuri" - this is a combination of fast cooking noodles "Chapagretti" and "Neahuri", which are considered cheap products. But in the film, Mr. Pak's wife asked to prepare this dish with the addition of expensive marble beef Sironin, the price of which is $ 10 per 100 grams. This is the same if you add black caviar to pasta.
2. Names
"Parasites" on Korean sounds like "Kisengchong" - and all the names of the Kim family begin with a "ki" syllable: ki TCHEK (head of the family), ki y (son Ki Taek), ki John (daughter Taeki). In Korea in families, they usually call children for one letter.3. Alcohol
Family Kim in the film drinks 3 times:
- The first time they drink the Filite beer - this is the cheapest beer in Korea. This shows the status of the family.
- Second times, Taek, daughter and son drink more expensive Beer Sapro. And my mother still drinks the cheap Filite beer, as it does not work yet in the house of Pak.
- For the third time they have already drank the whole family of expensive alcohol in the house of Pak.
The director Pon Zhong Ho thus showed the growth of the material situation of the family Kim.

In Korea, often secured people buy a stone in the form of a mountain or a cliff. This is a symbol of wealth. Ki y, having received such a stone as a gift, felt richer and more confident. The cost of such stones begins from $ 100.5. Housing
The apartment in the mixture is the cheapest accommodation in Korea. Thus, the director showed how poor Family Kim is.
6. Movie name
In the original, the film is called "parasite" - in the singular. We are talking about the bourgeois system built on the class inequality, which spoiled the life of both families. And it does not matter, a rich family or poor. If you disassemble the name on Korean Kisengchun, then Kiseng is translated as "lives from others" and "Chun" - "insect".7. Chapter Family Kim
In Theka's wife, in one of the episodes, said: "You run as a cowardic cockroach with any difficulties," showing that he is the weakest member of the family. In this we were convinced at the end of the film, when Ki Taek escaped to the basement and lived there as "cockroach".
8. Song Ki John
John's ki repeats the legend before the interview, converted it to the famous Korean song "Tokto Island - our territory." Tokto Island is a controversial island between Japan and Korea. Adjusting the words of this song, Ki John showed his character, showing that there are no holy things for her.
