One movie this actually does kinda remind me of is Dawn of the Dead- a group of people trying mostly to survive find their way into a place of prosperity and splendor, and fight savagely to hang on to it. That's mostly in the scenes where the wealthy family's still on vacation and they're all hanging out in the yard or the living room. Also saw just a little of High and Low in there, the emphasis on the house as the symbol of wealth and the resentment it causes.

RichterIX posted:I've been operating on the assumption that the Park kid isn't even having seizures he just swoons for attention but now I can't remember why I think that other than it fits my idea of his parents babying him. I think it’s possible he has issues but they’re being exacerbated by the parents over-worrying. Just like he probably has some talent (his drawings using the whole canvas is a thing you don’t always see with kids) but he’s not necessarily a prodigy.

The film portrays the Parks as bad people, but not the villains- the villain is capitalism itself, a system which drives people to do bad things to each other in an attempt to gain "the good life". It's nice to imagine that if we kill all the rich that'll fix everything, but as long as we still have a system where you have to get a job to earn money to get food and shelter, inequality will happen and bad things will arise because of it. Prosperity in itself is a corrupting force- the rock which was supposed to bring good fortune is more like a cursed object.

I'm pretty sure the American version of Parasite is George Romero's Dawn of the Dead.
