Saw the movie (Parasite).

Pretty entertaining for a foreign film. I’m not usually into having to sit and actively read everything I’m watching, but I strangely enjoyed it.

Maybe the foreign setting, and having to sit still made the plot more intriguing, even though the plot is really just a scaled-up episode of the Twilight Zone or Black Mirror.

F v F was good

As for anything Quentin Tarantino, u you ou would have to convince me. I was told in the same tone I would love river rats or whatever the name of it is. It was gratuitous, disturbing and completely theme-less and pointless.

I have sworn him off.

Not a good thing when you recognize the Asian infiltration of Hollywood and our other Institutions are to use these to re-shape this nation’s identity and take us where all roads lead to China.

Both "infiltration" and "Asian" are wrong. It is the Chinese Communist Party, not Asians in general, that is using its financial muscle to influence Hollywood and English language film-making in general to tone down anything that offends or criticizes them.

They are not infiltrating, they are just overtly using money to buy influence.

I’m really no fan of him...that’s why I hesitated on OUATIH.

I( btw, before I forget) loved Richard Jewel.

I’ve watched it now five times....each time I pick something new.

For examples the cars....and the background radio giving the headlines of the day.

The scenes are long and uncut...How does he do that?

In summary, best movie I’ve seen in years....

Btw, saw Ford vs Ferrari last night. Great film...

Saw ‘Once Upon A Time in Hollywood’ in the theater, great film. Looking forward to ‘The Irishman’ when it comes out on Criterion Blu-Ray later this year, also ‘Ford vs Ferrari’ when it is out on disc.

Once again, I am proud to say that I did not see any of these movies or any other movie in the last 21 years, because I refuse to spend any of my hard earned money on an industry that hates conservatives and hates America.

Yeah, shallow movie about ‘money and covetous makes people do bad/show ungratefulness" tripe while trying to take itself seriously on a lot of levels.

The basement dweller impaling the art grifter, then the dad going off on the entrepreneur just cemented the “class warfare” shtick.

Also the cheesy "art house" tryhard symbolism with the various stairwells (Know your role/place) and the stupid stone symbolizing hope.

Check out Ford vs Ferrari, a good flick. Also Little Women which I thought would be a dud was surprisingly good. Pass on Harriet which was average, same with 1917..average. The Irishman, I really liked but it’s exhaustingly long..Al Pacino was great.

I watched it Saturday night.

I can see why the critics loved it. I didn’t.

“Hollywood putting out garbage I saw none of these films and I see all films worth watching”

1917 was a great film. In my opinion it should have won best picture.

"Well, that is an interesting take and you are the only one I am aware of that believes it is about the evil of those who hate capitalism.

The parasites are people who have failed at capitalism, then used it to destroy their targets. Do you think their actions were evil? They lied and manipulated other people and betrayed their trust! How can anybody dismiss those actions and say its about a class struggle?

Stop and think here. Deceit is being ignored by the movie reviewers while they offer the opinion that its about a class struggle? No surprise to me.

"Everyone I know who has watched the movie and every commentary I have read on it believes it to be about class. Notice how the lady of the house is a complete light weight ditz and completely shallow?

Obviously, I disagree with your friends, or whatever they are. I'm not succumbing to groupthink. The wife ended up trusting evil people because trust had worked for her for many years; nobody in her experiences were evil people. There's a lesson there for all of us, not a criticism of her.

Now, look at the same behavior in politics. Which party uses trust to betray our nation? Whom should we trust?
