Parasite's Mid-Point Tonal Shift ►►

Parasite (2019) took the world by storm. This parable struck a chord and rode a wave of critical and popular opinion all the way to become one of the Best Picture nominees in 2020 — and eventual Best Picture winner. Director Bong Joon-ho (Snowpiercer, Okja, Mother, The Host, Memories of Murder and Barking Dogs Never Bite) brought his filmmaking to a new level with Parasite, especially his ability to transition between contrasting tones of dark comedy and thriller.

In this video essay, Parasite’s mid-point twist is examined in detail — including the way dark comedy and thriller are mixed into something truly unsettling. In Parasite, movie language tells us a “dark concrete basement” means danger but then elements of slapstick comedy drop into frame (literally, when the Kim’s fall down the stairs). Only the hand of a master director like Bong Joon-ho can pull off a scene like this.

Parasite is by no means Bong Joon-ho’s first attempt to bring politics into his films. Likewise, mixing genre and tone is something he has also been perfecting in his recent films like Okja and Snowpiercer. Filmmaking and directing is all about balancing multiple elements to tell a layered and nuanced story like Parasite has done. Who needs film school when you have filmmaker’s like Bong Joon-ho giving us a masterclass like he did in Parasite?
