” made history as the first foreign language film to ever win the Academy Award for best picture, in addition to taking home three other awards for best director, best international feature film and best original screenplay. It earned South Korea its first Oscar nominations and wins ever.

And despite the box office success of “Crazy Rich Asians” in 2018, actors of Asian descent remain woefully underrepresented on the big screen.

But the magic of “Parasite,” in addition to the director Bong’s meticulous visual metaphors underlining the haves and will-never-haves, is undeniably in the performances — the smirking condescension of Lee Sun Kyun’s Nathan Park towards Song Kang Ho’s Ki Taek, the latter whose rage bubbles over with devastating consequences and Ki Jeong’s buoyant con artistry, so brilliantly brought to life by Park So Dam.

SpeakerShinjini Does every race need to have its own category? Isn't that racist? Can we not just judge them all equally? Without race being brought up?

Why has Hollywood been so racist for so many years against Asians ?

Because majority of these movies aren’t in English so don’t become particularly big over here.

Interesting your tweet comes with a picture from the SAGawards ...... were there no oscar pictures available?

Let this please mean there will be more amazing anime adaptations 💪 If you haven't seen the anime ii recommend it.

do we need to wait for another 100 years

how about remembering their names accurately🙃

so academy is now giving undeserved awards just to be diverse...ugh

Parasite proves that if you did a great job you will win awards regardless of race or nationality. Go woke, go broke (as proven by the latest viewing records)

Why does that matter. Your paychec not good enough ?

America is killing itself with this nonsense.. do 'local' awards in India, Korea, China nominate 'white' people?
