Yesterday I finally watched the movie Parasite. I know, there are tons of different topics you can talk about when it comes to this movie, but one little thought just creeped in mind while watching it and I wasn’t able to get rid of it since then. I constantly keep thinking about this question: “To which family depicted in the movie am I resembling more?” Of course I don’t have the exact same living conditions as any of them, but still, if I compare myself, my socioeconomic status based on an overall view, compared to all other people in the world, where would I be on the scale? The scariest thing that even if I live in a post-soviet eastern European country, even if I won’t be able to buy an apartment or house for myself anytime in the future, on a world scale I’m still much more closer to the wealthy family in the movie. Which feels.. well you probably all know how it feels.
