Parasite is a social commentary on classism shown through two two different families, one very rich and one very poor. It's very real but also very surreal at the same time. I know people might be tired of having a "woke" mentality being pushed on them but this movie handles the subject matter in a very real and touching way where there are no real villains and life just sucks for everyone.
