Bottom Liner posted:Yeah that YouTube review I shared put it really well (in reference to Scorsese’s comments about marvel films): this movie was theme park cinema in the absolute best way. Scorsese contrasted theme park movies with "the cinema of human beings trying to convey emotional, psychological experiences to another human being." He contrasts it with movies about "the complexity of people and their contradictory and sometimes paradoxical natures, the way they can hurt one another and love one another and suddenly come face to face with themselves." In regards to Hitchcock, "Sixty or 70 years later, we’re still watching those pictures and marveling at them. But is it the thrills and the shocks that we keep going back to? I don’t think so. The set pieces in 'North by Northwest' are stunning, but they would be nothing more than a succession of dynamic and elegant compositions and cuts without the painful emotions at the center of the story or the absolute lostness of Cary Grant’s character." I feel like all these qualities of the movies he's distinguishing the theme park cinema from apply to Parasite.

As a lower-class kid who's made good, Min represents to both the Kims and the Parks the confirmation of the existence of a meritocracy. For the Kims, he's aspirational as having been able to lift himself into a higher class. To the Parks, the mother at least, she's covetous that he seems to possess actual talents, which she desperately wants for her children.
