Dunno, I've heard really great things about Parasite. I couldn't care less about subtitles or whether its foreign....will check it out for myself and see. Still have to see 1917, but if it's on the same level as Saving Private Ryan, then it must be great.
It's not as good as Saving Private Ryan but it is along those lines. It really brought WWI back to life for me. If you are a WWI or military history buff I strongly recommend. Just the authenticity of it all. It's about the retrograde movement that the German's made in in 1917 to get behind the stronger Hindenburg line. At the same time a British was advancing the next morning because they thought that they had the German's on the run. This same unit was not privy to recent aerial reconnaissance and the Germans had successfully cut the telephone lines to that unit so they had to send two runners to get through to them.
I'm a huge military history fan. I recently got into WWI after listening to Dan Carlin's Blueprint for Armageddon
https://www.dancarlin.com/product/hardcore-history-50-blueprint-for-armageddon-i/ and then visiting Ypres after I literally fucked myself out in the NRW and needed something else to do. I went to this place: The Menin Gate where they play the Last Post which is a tribute to the MIA for the UK only in the Ypres sector. The wall bears the names of 54,000 men who have no known graves (they were blown to smithereens and there was nothing left to identify, wounded and drowned in the mud of Flanders, where killed in the middle of the No Man's Land and couldn't be reached and identified for 4 years etc)

The Last Post as a tribute to these men every night at 8PM since the monument was built in the 1920's. There was a brief respite during the Nazi occupation but the Last Post was played during the Polish Liberation of Ypres during WWII in the midst of the fighting before the town was even secured. I met a few men there during my tour. One produced a letter from his Great Uncle who is MIA in Ypres. He was a boy of 18 years and 3 months. He wanted his mom to send him a tin of pan drippings and some lollipops and was killed a month later due to friendly fire (it was a gas attack and the wind direction changed).
I tell you all this because this movie made WWI come back to life for me. For the combatants, the world has not known such terror either before after WWI.
