I am just wondering here, and maybe it is just me.
I really liked Parasite, but it had like a ten minute 4th act that I thought really dragged the film down.
And it is consistent with a lot of the better known Korean films that made it to the US.
Snowpiercer, Oldboy, The Host.... There always seems to be a fourth act. Which beyond being unnecessary, does not clarify anything. You are still left with the questions you had at the end of the third act. It is like an extra act that just muddles the themes and story more.
So instead of just leaving it to your imagination, there is an extra 10 to 20 minutes of exposition that still do not lead to a decisive conclusion.
Just a thought. But I think most of the Korean films I have watched, could do without that extra epilogue.
