I recommend watching this movie not because it won an four oscars, it’s just a really slow burning thriller movie. That is it takes it time establishing the characters personalities and as well as the climax of the film. I don’t want give much away except to try give five words for it, peach-fuzz, poor, smell, and secrets. It is one of the first foreign films to every won best picture in history. Which is awesome in its own right. Bong Joon- ho has made other brilliant films such as Mother, Okja and Snowpiercer. If you loved Snowpiercer than you definitely love watching Parasite.
In the book, New Media in Art, by Michael Rush mentions artists in the last century are experimenting more with mix media (7). Incorporating readymade objects, personal trinkets, and recyclable objects, focusing on the emotion rather than technical skills. Rush references a famous artist, Marcel Duchamp that changed the focus of what is a fine art. Duchamp for example famous piece controversial "fountain" sculpture was not considered art because it was ready-made that had no creat. However, it is an art because it was Duchamp protest towards the Art Galleries and Museums because who are they decide what is art. Art does not have definitive rules of what qualifies as art, there might be tasteful art and distasteful art (22). I think it should be up to the artist and audience to consider what is art, tasteful otherwise.
