Literary Critique
“Parasite” stimulates the audience’s mind.
Bong Joon-ho has come back to Cannes with a sumptuously watchable and mocking tension dramatization. It runs as purringly smooth as the Mercedes driven by the lead character, played by Korean star Song Kang-ho. Parasite is a peculiar dark comedy about economic wellbeing, desire, realism and the male centric nuclear family, and individuals who acknowledge having (or renting) a hireling class.
This truly is an awfully captivating film, splendidly composed, eminently structured, with a perfectly cast actors and actresses set to work in a carefully plotted nightmare. It truly played with the audiences’ emotions and mind as the story went on through ups and downs.
The story started showing Song Kang-ho plays Ki-taek, an indolent, jobless man who lives in a chaotic, stinky and dirty basement with his significant other, Chung-sook, his brilliant yet uncanny daughter, Ki-jung (Park So-dam), and son, Ki-Woo (Choi Woo-sik). They portrayed what low class family experiences in other to live—connecting to the neighbor’s wifi, having people pissed on the wall in front of their window, and letting the window open for ‘free’ insecticide.
Living the life of having no cash and work, a former school friend of Ki-Woo offered Ki-Woo a lucrative tutoring job. Talk about luck! With a fake college diploma created by Ki-jung, he shows up at the fabulously lavish home of the Park family, wealthy entrepreneur Mr Park (Lee Sun-kyun), his delicate, unworldly wife, Yeon-kyo (Cho Yeo-jeong), their teen daughter, Da-hye (Jung Ziso) and her wacky kid brother, Da-song (Jung Hyeon-jun). They have a loyal, live-in housekeeper named Moon-gwang (Jeong-eun Lee).
Without much trouble, Ki-Woo got the job, and an admirer, Da-Hye, whom he would be teaching. Yeon-kyo, reveals that she also needs an art tutor for her young son, to mold his painting talents. This where things get thrilling as Ki-Woo recommended his sister, Ki-Jung, with the alter ego of Jessica. In short order, Ki-jung frames the Park chauffeur to get him fired, after which Ki-woo suggests their father, Ki-taek (Song Kang-ho), as a replacement, though he doesn’t identify him as such; and soon they hoodwink the Parks into abandoning their longtime housekeeper and hiring their mother, Chung-sook (Jang Hye-jin), though she’s not identified as such.
When the Parks go on a camping trip, the Kims move in and savor the luxury and peace. They think they’re a natural fit. They imagined how it feels like to have all the champagne and cool breeze of the aircon; how it feels like to have Da-Hye as their in-law, as the relationship of Ki-Woo and Da-Hye was getting deeper. Everything was going fine, during the first half of the film. It definitely seems like the Kims manipulation were going easy.
But Bong could never just settle for that, all those fun and excitement of the Kims vanished into thin air as it started to rain and surprisingly, the Parks went home instead. You could never call Bong subtle. After a symbolic rain causes the symbolic sewers to overflow and symbolically flood the Kims’ symbolic basement apartment, Kim Sr. is forced to perform at the Parks’ fancy house party in a symbolic Native American headdress. The climax, though surprising in its splatter quotient, is telegraphed.
The calm of each family instantly transformed into a horrific, gore, and dreadful party for the Parks’ youngest child, Da-Song. Each character portrayed their roles perfectly, which lies to the question, “Who is the real parasite?” The poor who connect themselves to the rich or the wealthy who suck the marrow of poor people? Or simply the framework the parasite itself, drawing its vitality from the violent communication among rich and poor?
From the cinematography, acting, and plot, Bong Joo-Ho’s Parasite is something you must consider if you are into drama movies. Its guaranteed that this movie will open your mind to the harsh reality of the poor and rich. Other than this, there are no excuses for watching the movie.

The
Life of the Unknown
By: Lana Klariz A. Manalo
One thing that a student named Kyle Austine V. Garcia cannot deny, is that he is a very straightforward person and is not afraid of showing and expressing his own opinions and emotions. As a student, he basically does everything he can to ace his subjects. As a daily routine, all he does is going to school early in the morning then immediately goes back home after class due to the fact that his parents are strict when it comes to time.
At 2017, the fifteen-year-old Kyle got engages with what they call a famous community namely “Kpop community” with the girl group GFRIEND as a major factor of making him join the community. With the song, Glass Bead, it really captivated his heart to the point that he could not turn back his desire of listening more of them.
This lead him to the discovery of immature and self-centered fans, this is the fandom of BTS, ARMYS. According to news reports, there are two main reasons why people call the ARMY fandom as toxic community:
1.) Drama, It's like they are incapable of being nice to other fandoms. They're the ones starting fan wars and causing drama in every fandom, for example, a person will say their own opinion and some ARMYS will attack. For example comparing Stray Kids' debut mv to a group that has over 5 years of experience. Ridiculous! Other groups didn't work their asses off to be compared to BTS.
2.)Obsession, Some ARMY is overly obsessed with BTS to the point where they'll hate on multifandoms for liking other groups besides BTS. BTS is Kpop, Kpop is not BTS. You don't have to love other groups besides BTS, or other fandoms but show some respect at least please.

“They
are so WILD and chaotic to the point that they degrade other fandoms to bring
theirs up“Kyle voiced out his opinion about ARMYS that lead to him to something
that wasn’t his routine before. The fifteen-year-old started to created
multiple anonymous accounts in order to voice out his emotions and opinions, “Fight
fire with fire” he said, referring to the reason why did he joined all the hate
threads popularizing the toxicity of the community.
However,
Kyle still have a little routine behind his anonymous identity. Catfishing is
the phenomenon of internet predators that fabricate online identities and
entire social circles to trick people into emotional/romantic relationships.
“It was basically free money” Kyle insisted. He was surprised how well it worked out to the point he kept on doing it. As of 2020, he had spent 550 euros for League of Legends and currently has $450 left on his account.
With a determined heart, and remarkable brain, currently seventeen, Kyle this year 2020 is still living his life in the unknown world behind technology and been saving off tons of money as a student. As for his student life, he is still doing his very best to ace his class. May this be an inspiration that every opinion matter, but limit yourself to protect yourself from the harsh words of reality. Always remember to chew your words first, before you spit them out.

Scenario with Dialogue
Sourire
She shut the door closed, leaning back on the cubicle’s door. She looks into her shaking hands, only to find out her palms covered with sweat, which matches her uneasy heart. “How unladylike for you Kira! You didn’t have to go through this date if you aren’t going to speak!” she hissed and went out of the cubicle to see herself in front of the comfort room’s mirror. She searched through her Chanel Diamond Forever bag which has the touch of dirty white. This all matchers her silky white off shoulder dress together with her white high pump heels. It took a few minutes before she could see her comb, she brushed her bleached wavy hair and retouch her face with her compact powder.
Meanwhile, Jiro was alone at the dinner table, patiently waiting for their dinner to come, he lifted his arms showing his nervousness with his crying armpits. “What a nerve to ask her out without speaking!” he said as he searched all over his pocket to bring out his Clive Christian 1872 Perfume spray. He then sprayed it all over his broad shoulders.
“I am the man, and I must entertain her!” he said with determination. He stood up with pose to go over to a waiter. “I have a request to ask” He stated. The waiter happily replied with a smile, “And that is?”
She went back at their dinner table freshly and smiled widely that made the young man’s heart melt. She was amazed by the aroma of various foods on their table, she sat down maintaining her composure to avoid her nervousness to over take her.
“Care for a slice?” Jiro asked showing a knife on his left hand, and a fork on his right. Kira smiled, and nudged her plate towards him. She still can’t manage her nervousness, especially in front of this handsome young man. She waited, until a waiter came by her side, “Especially made for you Madam”
The waiter placed the chocolate lava cake in front of Kira. “You ordered this?” she asked Jiro. Jiro shrugged and smirked as an answer. Out of curiosity, Kira sliced through the cake, which to her surprise, has a ring inside of it. “I’m sorry if I couldn’t start our date right, but I hope with that ring, we can start off well” Jiro stated and handed off the bite size pieces of steak.
With that said, the date started to flow smoothly, they were laughing their hearts out. It was as if they forgot how awkward they were at first. But it was all worth the clumsiness, with the love blooming right over that dinner table.
