Leans Left
Primary
The film's central thesis is an explicit and unflinching critique of systemic class inequality and the dehumanizing effects of wealth disparity, aligning with anti-capitalist and progressive ideologies that highlight the inherent flaws in societal structures.
Parasite, a South Korean production, features an entirely Korean cast, which means the evaluation of 'traditional white roles' or 'race/gender swaps' is not directly applicable. The film's narrative is a powerful critique of class disparity and socio-economic structures within South Korea, rather than focusing on or negatively framing traditional identities such as white or male in a DEI context.
Secondary
Parasite does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative is solely centered on the socio-economic struggles and interpersonal dynamics of two heterosexual families, offering no portrayal of queer identity.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
Parasite is an original screenplay with all characters created specifically for the film. There is no prior source material, historical record, or previous installments from which character genders could be established and then altered.
Parasite is an original film with characters created specifically for this story. There is no prior source material, historical record, or previous installment to establish a canonical race for any character that could be subsequently changed.
