The Story

**Political Films Meet-Up: *Parasite* (2019)** Let’s talk about movies! Join movie club member Clay Vaughn for the next film in our Political Films series with the film that swept the nation seven years ago, Bong Joon-Ho's *Parasite* (2019). Winner of four historic Academy Awards, it became the first South Korean film to win any award, and the first non-English language film to win Best Picture. **Here’s how The Portland Movie Club meet-ups work:** * Just like a book club, we watch the movie on our own time before we meet. * We'll meet at Lucky Lab on SE Hawthorne at 4pm on the scheduled date. * We'll typically have a sign at our table(s) but at least we'll try to be obvious and identifiable. * Grab some food and drinks to support our generous hosts and spend some time socializing and discussing this movie with us. **A Few Notes about the film:** If a foreign film makes you hesitate to sign up, remember the words of Director Bong: "Once you overcome the one-inch tall barrier of subtitles, you will be introduced to so many more amazing films." **Viewing Options for the film:** The film is available to rent via YouTube, Amazon Prime, Apple TV, and others. **About Political Films:** This series started out focusing on the New Republic article "[The 100 Most Significant Political Films of All Time](https://newrepublic.com/article/173376/100-political-films-new-republic-list)" published in June 2023, but we've since expanded well beyond the list. Both the documentaries and narrative fiction films we discuss tend to include difficult imagery and subject matter, we suggest the website "[Does the Dog Die?](https://www.doesthedogdie.com/)" for content warnings. **Tips:** Once again, we do not watch the movie at the meet-up. All members watch the movie on their own time before we meet to discuss it. You don't have to watch the movie to join us, but it'll make more sense if you do. Feel free to bring along any notes, books, or articles you'd like to share with the group
