Parasite
Bong Joon-ho
There are three castes of people in our late-capitalist world: the ultra-rich, those who work for them, and everyone else.
If we’re fortunate, we’re like the Kim family—we get lucky and manage to weasel our way into the second caste, then hold on for dear life.
Very few of us are like the ultra-rich Park family: living in glass mansions, employing the Kim family to drive us around and cook our food and look after our children.
But how long can this balance last, with so few having so much and so many having so little?
Not very long, it seems.

Motherless Brooklyn
Edward Norton
See, there’s your Brooklyn and then there’s Brooklyn Brooklyn. Notcha matcha latte organic tricycle glass and metal hashtag selfie Brooklyn.

That Brooklyn. My Brooklyn.
