Not arguing that Parasite isn’t a good film, but I’m sorry but when you lobby for a perceived lack of diversity every five minutes then the consequences are many people will make an assumption that lip service is being paid when awards are given. 1917 is one of the best films in years. Parasite sounds cool having read the plot but I’m not going out of my way to see a film that I can only follow by reading the subtitles.
And when you make assumptions like this, you undermine yourself. It makes me question the value of your opinions. If you think it’s a good movie or a s**t movie, that’s fine, call it as you see it, but is it too much to ask you at least watch it first before confidently stating it was a token award?
What about “I haven’t seen Parasite yet but it would have to be an incredible movie to beat 1917”. Simple.
