The event quickly goes south, breaking down into a vivid representation of class warfare. In Parasite’s climax, the Kim family - father Ki-taek, mother Chung-sook, daughter Ki-jeong, and son Ki-woo - attend a house party for the young son of their employers, the Park family. Which means it’s going out to millions of viewers who will be able to join the conversation about Parasite’s masterful ending - the definition of a movie conclusion that can’t be summed up as a “happy ending” or a “sad ending.” Instead, it’s a lonely ending. After a long theatrical run that built extensive word of mouth, Parasite is streaming exclusively on Hulu. When Bong Joon-ho’s Parasite made Oscar history as the first non-English language film to win Best Picture, it felt like a victory for the cinephiles who made the film a critical darling and a surprise arthouse hit.
