At a campaign meeting in Colorado Springs, the current President of the United States criticized the South Korean film Parasite for an Oscar. Donald Trump said, “We have enough problems with South Korea, with trade.”
Two weeks ago, Parasite made history as the first foreign language film to win the ultimate award. A coronation to Oscars which is clearly not to the liking of Donald Trump, who took advantage of a meeting in Colorado Springs to express his feelings. “We have enough problems with South Korea, with trade. And above all, they give it the title of best film of the year ”. He added “Is he good ? I do not know” hinting that he had not seen the film. The President of the United States has admitted his preference for two classic films from the 7th art, Gone with the Wind and Boulevard du Crépuscule. The two films had won statuettes respectively in 1939 and 1950. “Bring us back Gone with the wind, Le Boulevard du Crépuscule, so many good films. The winner is from South Korea, I thought it was for the foreign language film category. ” The American distributor of the feature film was quick to respond to the president’s remarks, not without irony. “Understandable, he can’t read.”

At war with Hollywood
Bong Joon Ho was not the only one to have suffered the harsh remarks from Trump, who also addressed a few words to the actor, recently Oscar winner, Brad Pitt. “And then you have Brad Pitt, I’ve never been a big fan. He got up and made a pretentious little statement ”. It seems like Donald trump did not digest the actor’s speech at the ceremony. Brad Pitt then mentioned Trump’s impeachment. The Senate then refused to hear other witnesses in the President’s recall process, including former adviser John Bolton. “I was told I have 45 seconds, 45 seconds more than what the Senate gave John Bolton”. As a reminder, Parasite won the Palme d’Or at Cannes, two Bafta, four Oscars and a Golden Globe. The film grossed $ 44 million for United Statesaccording to Variety, a very high score for a foreign film.
