    PARASITE 
    THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
      
    FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY BONG JOON HO 
      
    CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
      
    ABOUT THE FILM 
    Parasite is a South Korean dark comedy thriller directed by Bong Joon Ho. The film follows the Kim family, struggling in poverty, as they scheme to infiltrate the wealthy Park family by posing as unrelated, highly qualified individuals. As the Kims secure jobs in the Park household, the story explores themes of class disparity, deception, and survival. Through its mix of humor and social commentary, Parasite critiques the division between the rich and the poor, using sharp satire and suspense to reflect on the complexities of human ambition and societal inequalities. 
      
    TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
      
    “The house of the Parks, which is credited to a fictional architect named Namgoong Hyeonja in the film, was actually a fully constructed set.” 
      
    “Ki-woo's role as a tutor was chosen by director Bong Joon Ho to demonstrate the only plausible way that individuals from two vastly different social classes could meet and interact in the context of the story.” 
      
    “Bong Joon Ho created numerous sketches for the design of the wealthy family’s house. When the production designer shared the designs with an actual architect, the architect remarked that no one would build a house in such a ridiculous manner.” 
      
    “Parasite won the Palme d'Or at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival, making history as the first Korean film to earn the prestigious award.”

    This piece, which appeared in Outside magazine in 1995 and was originally recorded for "Rough Water: Stories of Survival From The Sea," is about an old man, a Bequian harpooner, who uses a wooden sailboat to hunt humpback whales. The piece is an elegy of sorts--an unsentimental lament for something lost.

    Acute natural perceptivity and a profound knowledge of the relationships to be found in nature combine here in vivid evocations of the sights, the sounds, the vast stillnesses, and the events of the wilderness as the seasons succeed each other. But Mr. Olson is not content merely to "describe"; he probes for meanings that will lead the listener to a different and more revealing way of looking at the out-of-doors and to a deeper sense of its eternal values. In each of the thirty-four chapters of The Singing Wilderness he has sought to capture an essential quality of our magnificent lake and forest heritage. He shows us what can be read from the rocks of the great Canadian Shield; he offers a delightful essay on the virtues of pine knots as fuel; he writes of the ways of a canoe, of flashing trout in the pools of the Isabella, of tamarack bogs, caribou moss, the flight of wild geese, timber wolves, and the birds of the ski trails. And much more, with something to satisfy every taste for wilderness experience. 
     
     
     
    The Singing Wilderness is a book that no lover of nature will want to be without. To anyone who contemplates a vacation in the lake country of northern Minnesota and adjoining Canada, it is the perfect vade mecum.
