ABSTRACT

PARASITE is an interesting film in many ways, but to date, the research and observation on this work have been mainly biased toward economic problems. There is an undeniable fact that PARASITE clearly showed the imbalance of Korean society such as ‘Underground’ and ‘Mansion’. However, it cannot be said that the sincerity and value of PARASITE is only to reveal economic contradictions. In particular, the biological approach and cultural anthropological truths derived from this work have resulted in the exclusion from previous studies. This study accepted this problem consciousness and tried to read PARASITE from a different angle. So by expanding the perspective of diagnosing the problem of economic imbalance in Korean society, this study attempted to reconsider the problem in terms of food sharing among species, and attempted to solve the conflict of ecological species that solved the competitive structure that was derived as a problem of ecological status. In the end, PARASITE which has caused a lot of waves and shocks in terms of interest and authenticity, can be explained by pursuing the biological/cultural anthropological truth, not the truth that is only used in the limited dimension of human world.
