A static image places us in a house located under the pavement. We can see through its window the outside life, and with a slight panning down, we abandon this view and get into the house, where Gi, the son of a family that subsists as well as he can, is worried about not having a wifi signal.
This image, -among many others that swarm throughout the film-, could synthesize Parasite in a precise and concrete way. Because the film is the universal story of social inequality, but told with a black, acidic and cruel humor, applying these inequalities to our present - with all the opportunities this implies - and showing how feasible it is to reverse the status quo, and whether it is finally possible to move from the underground to the surface.
Even if this means literally becoming a parasite. An Oscar winner and a great recommendations for fans of The Platform.
