Parasite gives one the same degree of insight about Korean culture as Raising Arizona does about American culture.
WTF, HackerNews? All this pretentious pontificating about the deeper meaning of a dark comedy (which could be set in ANY culture or locale with very few changes...) Whats next? A thread about the subtleties of Korean culture revealed in Gangham Style?
Read a book.
- jwilber 7y agoHow wild that this comment is the most pretentious thing in the entire thread. The article is a straightforward piece on living situations in Seoul. Maybe next time give it a read before commenting. In any case, please DO continue ending your comments with those authoritative one-liners. (Such an enigma!)

Either way, Raising Arizona seems to me to be some great cultural commentary. > A thread about the subtleties of Korean culture revealed in Gangham Style? Read a book. That too sounds like an interesting idea: https://www.amazon.com/Theological-Reflections-Gangnam-Style-Christianity/dp/1137373474 https://www.amazon.com/Theological-Reflections-Gangnam-Style...
