Chapter 168 The color of the world changes overnight
Those who come to attend the Cannes Film Festival, whether they are expert reporters or audience tourists, are basically lovers of art films, and they have high film appreciation abilities.
Therefore, being able to see the classic at a glance can also arouse strong resonance. Everyone is already looking forward to it, hoping for a perfect ending!
Since the black maid was dismissed suddenly, she did not have enough time to deal with and pick up her husband, so when Mr. Li's family went camping, she chose to ring the doorbell and confess to William's mother, hoping to be forgiven.
However, when William's mother discovered the secret of the black couple and acted arrogantly, the three William men who were eavesdropping on the stairs all rolled down and happened to land.
In front of the black maid.
The scene before him was immediately recorded by the black maid, and used it to threaten the William family. While this anxious negotiation was going on, Mrs. Li suddenly called. Due to the sudden change in the climate, there were violent storms, and the camping plan had been cancelled.
Cancel, they will return to this home in eight minutes.
The three families finally come together.
The extreme luxury and warmth of Mr. Li's family; the semi-basement of William's family, submerged in heavy rain and floods, the endless despair; the black maid is also in the closed basement, with heart-stopping blood and silence.
Three sets of montages flash back and forth constantly. The class differences between the poor and the rich make people heartbroken.
Deep in the basement, the black husband is banging his head against the wall in despair, and lying in front of him is his wife who does not know whether she is alive or dead...
In the semi-basement of William's house, his sister Karen sat on the toilet seat that was constantly spraying black water. William lit a cigarette and picked up the stone symbolizing wealth from the water...
In the luxurious manor, looking out the floor-to-ceiling windows, the young son is camping on the lawn, and Mr. Li and his wife are having sex happily on the sofa...
Finally, at the end of the film - in order to make up for his youngest son's birthday, Mr. Li invited relatives and friends to hold an open-air banquet at his home.
However, during the party, the black husband discovered that his wife was dead. He rushed out of the basement and knocked William unconscious with a stone. Then he came to the outdoor party and killed his sister Karen with a knife.
Then the black husband was killed with a fork by William's angry mother.
Unexpectedly, in the chaos, William's father suddenly killed Mr. Li with a knife?
At this time, the plot has become a mess, and all kinds of sudden accidents make the audience feel that it is reasonable, but their inner things are a little shaken.
Does the William family deserve sympathy? Or did they bring it upon themselves? Was the murdered Mr. Li an innocent victim? Or did he commit suicide?
The audience was surprised to find that there were foreshadowings everywhere in the film:
There are indeed various internal and external factors that have brought the William family to where they are now, but they all work hard and excel in their daily work.
Similarly, the black maid also said in the conversation: The food she gave her husband to eat was not stolen, but bought with the wages she earned.
This is actually some kind of justification for the actions of the poor.
The reason why the dead Mr. Li received an angry blow from William's father was because of his last act of pinching his nose.
From the beginning to the end of the film, there are many explanations about the smell: "The disinfectant smoke outside the window", "The young son accidentally said that William's parents had the same smell", and "On that rainy night, Mr. Li described to his wife the difficulty of William's father.
Smell it”…
To put it simply, that taste is the taste of poor people!
So when Mr. Li went to get the keys, he smelled the same "poor smell" from his black husband. His action of pinching his nose made William's father choose to explode in an instant.
This is foreshadowing the death of the rich.
However, "killing for life" is an iron rule that cannot be broken. Even though Mr. Li was disliked by others, he also gave the William family generous rewards, and even his inner dislike was never exposed to the William family.
He hides very deeply, and may be a hypocrite, but he is far from a bad person, and he is far from being a vendetta.
The ending of the film: Another wealthy couple appears and purchases the manor. Through the constantly flashing streetlights and the military Moore code released, William learns that his murderer father has been hiding in the basement.
A completely open ending, another reincarnation...
The three groups of families, from the past to the present and to the future, are fully explained without leaving any regrets. And the ending is so wonderful that it gives people a strong impact and enjoyment.
Suddenly, someone discovered that this film is also top-notch and can be enjoyed as a suspense commercial film.
In particular, the length of the film is just right, and the entire plot is quite complete. It is not like a realistic art film, or violent and bloody, or perverted and weird, and even the sex scenes are quite beautiful.
It's that kind of light and straightforward narrative, but it's thrilling at every turn, without any discomfort, and completely giving up sensory stimulation.
And the essence of the ordinary can be seen in this way, which can highlight the classics of the film!
…
When "End of Play" was typed, the auditorium was completely silent.
Next to her, Theron's eyelashes were shaking nervously, and she held Rong Guang's arm tightly. Rong Guang also felt strange, why did the atmosphere become so weird?
After more than a minute, applause suddenly broke out, and all the audience cheered loudly, dedicating all their enthusiasm to "Parasite"...
By the next day, "Parasite" immediately caused a sensation throughout the Cannes Film Festival. And through global media, it also spread all over the world. The original "Parasite" had a phenomenal reputation, and this time it was no surprise.
Phenomenal word of mouth.
It was like the sky and the earth changed color overnight.
The film critics applauded and media from all walks of life enthusiastically followed it! In order to cope with the influx of audiences, the film festival organizing committee made a temporary decision to add as many as 26 additional screenings in the remaining few days. And all the screenings were sold out.

There are too many praises, so I won’t go into details one by one.
Among them, the AP news is the most representative - conquering Cannes, "Parasite" has been booked for this year's Palme d'Or!
For Hollywood, it seems to look down on old Europe on the surface, but in its heart, it always hopes to be recognized by the three major European companies!
This time, "Parasite", as an original Hollywood movie, was able to conquer Cannes, the palace of art films, and did it with such an unstoppable crushing force? Therefore, it immediately aroused carnival throughout North America.
Chapter completed!
