Parasite and Capitalism: What the Film Says About the Pursuit of Wealth
Bong Joon Ho’s masterpiece, Parasite (2019) became one of the few international films to break into the American mainstream.

Anna Haslböck, writing as Karina Norden, hires young drummer Nicolas Auer to pose as her lover and boost sales for her new book on dating younger men. Nicolas, recently dumped by a girlfriend influenced by Anna’s advice, reluctantly plays along while Anna secretly maintains a ten-year affair with industrialist Wolf Richter. As Anna and Nicolas co-host a fledgling talk show, Nicolas begins a real affair with journalist Martina Schwarz, forcing Anna to juggle contracts, jealousy, and public image. When Wolf announces plans to marry a society beauty, Anna’s world unravels - she confesses her long affair to Wolf’s wife Ilse live on air. The on-set revelations by Ilse and her partner Bodo mirror Anna’s own sacrifices. In the end, the show is a hit, Anna frees Nicolas from their PR pact, and Martina forgives him, leaving Anna to rebuild her personal and professional life.

I'm bad, and that's good. I will never be good, and that's not bad. There's no one I'd rather be than me.

It’s been five months since Wayward premiered on Netflix and it still has some of us in a choke-hold.
Passing is a visually stunning portrayal of Larsen's story with an inclusive cast, and the performances of Thompson and Negga are sensational.
All in all, 47 Meters Down: Uncaged is a film I would recommend. It promotes the bond of sisterhood, which in this case is clearly thicker than blood, as well as courage. No one truly knows how strong they are until they go through something unimaginable and come out changed for the better.
