But to be honest our tamil /indian cinema has way better movies comparedto parasite storywise,only thing that lags is a strong screenplay and execution...
Asuran,pariyerum perumal,madras...so many but dont know why they dont make it to oscars...
If i compare the said movies to parasite,i would say parasite was okay
I think it also has to do with the marketing of the country through K-pop...if you notice in 2019, BTS was almost in all popular talk shows of USA and UK and their popularity increased...Also, the K-pop group Blackpink got popular in America/UK through the songs Ddu-Du-Ddu-Du and Kill This Love....in 2020 Parasite is nominated for many awards other than in international category and also managed to win many awards including Oscars for Best Picture, which never happened for a non-English movie....I guess the K-pop groups kind a put a face to Korea in North America/UK, which facilitated further the Korean entertainment industry to be recognized outside Korea.
BTS has a new album Map of the Soul 7... one of the song Black Swan was first performed on an American talk show and not even in Korea...BTS also performed at the Grammy 2020...first for Korea....so I guess Korean entertainment industry kind of infiltrated to America/UK.
