    Bong Joon-ho films in general, not just Parasite. You can see the themes in The Host and Snowpiercer.

      Ah, Snowpiercer…where the rich people live in the front of the train and poor in the back. A train that never stops, because it’s a dystopian ice world outside. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

        It does stop a couple times in the tv show. But the engine can only shut off for a few minutes at a time before the train gets dangerously cold.
