Parasite

Continuity mistake: Throughout the movie in several scenes the living room has 2 couches even up until the Parks are getting ready to leave for their camping trip, 1 big one and one small. The very next scene when the Kims are getting drunk, the small couch has disappeared. This must be to make room for the Kims to slide and crawl out from under the table. The strange thing is when the Parks come back home, they don't notice that one of their couches is missing. It remains missing until the end.

Continuity mistake: Just before the violent climax at the party, the pool of blood and the pieces of glass change position next to to Ki-woo, as the noose does. (01:51:55)

Other mistake: When Ki-jung is making the fake diploma, the date she uses is June 16, 2018, indicating the movie takes place after then. In a later scene, when Yeon-kyo texts Ki-taek to meet in the sauna, the date on the text is June 12, despite being a later date. (00:11:20 - 00:44:40)

Casual Person

Trivia: This is the first non-English language film to win the Academy Award for Best Picture.

Trivia: Throughout the film, lines are very subtly used to divide the Kim and Park families. Ex. Walls, picture frames and other objects with vertical lines often appear between members of either family when both are on the screen. One of the earliest examples is when Mrs. Park is introduced, and we see her outside of a window. There is a very clear line in the window between she and Ki-Woo, implying a sense of separation. Instances like this are littered throughout the film.

Trivia: Bong Joon-Ho originally intended to make "Parasite" a play, but he kept thinking about how he'd film it if it were a movie during the early writing process. He very quickly realised he instead had to make it into a movie.
