Parasite (기생충, 2019), a genre hybrid film by South Korean auteur Bong Joon-Ho, skillfully blends comedy, thriller, and tragedy to depict the stark power differentials between impoverished families and wealthy elites. Serving as a microcosm, the film unveils the entrenched hierarchy perpetuated by hypercapitalism in South Korea, echoing real-life disparities exacerbated since the 1997 Asian financial crisis. Through an analysis of the economic dependency, sociocultural divides, and neocolonialist ideological discrimination depicted in the film, alongside Bong’s filmmaking with inextricable ties to Hollywood capital, this study reveals the pervasive nature of imbalanced power relations. It underscores how hypercapitalism self-replicates and transmits social stratification and structural inequalities to create the next warped generations.
