something in parasite that really stuck with me was that scene when ke jeong was taking a bath while the family was away and ki woo popped in for a second to give her a water bottle and then later was like to his parents “she really fits in here..she doesnt look out of place at all” or something along those lines
because it was One of my first thoughts when she died at the end. she was the best at presenting herself as “classy” and “sophisticated”. she was the best at making herself palatable to the rich (something her father couldnt do). and YET she still died. because in the end it does not matter how well you can present yourself or how “classy” or “sophisticated” you can be…if you do not have money, you are still nothing
and thats why even though initially i thought it was wild that she died (and i still really wish she hadnt) when her brother got fucking BLUDGEONED in the head TWICE and still LIVED???…i interpreted it as: it was because the teenage daughter helped him. she literally picked him up and got him medical attention almost immediately, so he survived. ke jeong didnt get that. she didnt have anyone with privilege and wealth immediately looking out for her…so she died.
and thats also why even though i HATED the relationship between ki woo and the teenage daughter i get why it was included to execute that aspect of the story. he saved his own life essentially by taking advantage of her (still. jessica only child illinois chicago rights 😔)
