One of the moments that fans love was a video capturing director Bong Joon-Ho reactions in the award ceremonies.
The movie’s twitter account tweeted an article discussing if the movie can make history with the Academy Awards, also known as the Oscars.
Some fans have even created artwork based on the film. In the art shown below are the main characters of the movie. At the center is the wealthy Park family smiling for what seems to be a family portrait. Their eyes are covered, just like the official movie poster. Behind the family, is the Kim family shown as a silhouette in the background. Just their creepy eyes are shown as they hide behind the family.
The movie has been the talk of the entertainment and movie industry. With its unique take on greed and class discrimination, the movie gives the audience a seat on a powerful roller coaster ride.
Some of the many awards the movie has won is the Palme d’Or, which is the greatest prize awarded at the Cannes Film Festival in France and a Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture in a foreign language in the United States.
In this latest tweet by Soompi, a website covering Korean pop culture, it reveals director Bong Joon-Ho and his collaboration with HBO to create a “Parasite” limited series. It seems that the rising popularity of the award winning movie has earned itself more time to be on the small screen.
