- "So that space depicted in the film, the semi-basement, is a bunker in a way, and it was used as a bunker in the 1970s." There's more than one bunker in the movie, but the semi-basement bunker is the primary home for the Kim family, who serve, more or less, as Parasite 's anti-heroes.

In Parasite, the Kim family's quest to overtake the Parks' home is no simple feat, and they do so by slyly getting the Parks to hire them without realizing that they're all related. Once Ki-woo gets his foot in the door by becoming Da-hye's tutor — with a certificate forged by his clever sister, Ki-jung (Park So-dam) — the pieces begin to fall stra...
Everything seems to be going fine until Moon-gwang returns to the house, claiming to have left something behind. In Parasite's iconic, shocking twist, said "something" turns out to be Moon-gwang's husband, Geun-se (Park Myung-hoon), who, unbeknownst to the Parks, is living in a secret bunker in the basement, and is revealed to be the "ghost" that D...
Parasite's pulse-pounding climactic scene finds the Kims being invited to Da-song's birthday party at the Park house. Ki-woo sneaks into the basement to finish off Geun-se once and for all by bludgeoning him with a scholar's rock, but Geun-se, wanting to avenge his wife, escapes by violently cracking Ki-woo in the head instead. Continuing his rampa...
Parasite's double-ending is what makes it such a gut punch: it’s about a fantasy. We know that Ki-woo will never earn enough money to buy the house and free his father, because Parasite shows that economic mobility is dead. The Kims aren’t a “lazy” family who are simply avoiding hard work. They may be conniving and duplicitous, but they don’t expec...
The bleakness of Parasite's ending comes from the fact that we know freeing Ki-taek is impossible. Granted, he could just turn himself in, but then he’d just be in another prison, or he’d get the death penalty, so he may as well stay in the basement. The prison of wealth is what entraps the Kims in the first place. Yes, they are “parasites” in a se...

Aug 25, 2023 · It’s between the Kims and Moon-gwang and her husband, Geun-sae. Moon-gwang and Geun-sae are, like the Kims, lower class and dependent on the Parks. Geun-sae has spent years in the house’s bunker, surviving on whatever’s in the home. He’s the closest thing to a true parasite that the movie has.
In the ending of Parasite, Ki-woo notices a flickering light in the Park’s home. He knows that the switch to the bulb is at the bunker. Seeing that the pattern is morse code, he writes it down to decipher a message from his father, who is now the bunker’s new resident to avoid being arrested for murder.
Apr 17, 2020 · The Kims and the Ohs are stuck — in a bunker, in a semi-basement flat, in their graves. The go-to fairytale of capitalism is that hard work pays off.
