Shoplifters (Japanese Movie 2018) and Parasite (South Korean Movie 2019)

   This week I've watched two movies with great quality in everything start from story-telling, plot, acting and moral values. To be honest, I was really satisfied and it got me thinking how amazing it is for the movie creator to share it with the viewers in a way that for example, me, got so hooked up watching it til the end.

   Both of the stories were complicated and deep but also share a little bit of joy and kindness. One thing particularly the same was the background of poverty. Their conditions led them did what they did just to live if it's not for the better.
    Shoplifters (2018) is a Japanese movie which revolved around a group of people that lived under one roof without any blood relations and they often do the shoplifting just to live their uptight daily life. Although it is quite difficult to live day by day but they are happy as a 'family'.

   Parasite (2019) is a South Korean movie which shared the same premise of poverty that leads a family of four to do whatever it takes to get a better life including to con a wealthy family.

  What I admire the most is the moral values from these movies. No matter how smart, smooth and tricky you are, when it comes to something bad you do, karma will tag along right behind you and harshly fall upon in a matter of time despite the excusable reasons for doing so. In addition, we also need to watch what we're saying in front of those who is not so fortunate with their life and avoid to underestimate or humiliate them but just being humble and be kind because we'll never know what others are going through.

  The twisted ending of both movies were also surprising and I couldn't guess it from the beginning although all I realize that it might not be pretty but deserving.

Notes: to make a real sense of poverty look, they show it by dirty or rug clothes with uncleaned faces and 'smell' which differ them from average or wealthy people. My personal rating would be 9/10.  It is highly recommended for movies with excellent quality.

Warning: These movie is not suitable for underage viewers due to violent and adult scenes.
