The Parasite Criterion Blu-Ray features a special black and white version of the film. In this video essay, I compare the color and B & W versions and talk about how watching the film in black and white affected the experience of watching the film for me. Not only does it provide a fresh perspective on Parasite as a film, but it helps us see some of the differences between color and black and white filmmaking in general. The video contains SPOILERS for Parasite.

Kills me looking at some of these shots how obvious it is that they weren't conceived in monochrome. A bunch of detail becomes a gray monolith.

Parasite is an absolute blessing to this earth

It's odd you don't mention the one scene that to me felt like the main reason Bong Joon-ho wanted to make a b&w version in the first place: the nightmare scene of the guy coming out of the basement. In b&w that scene seemed straight out of a Murnau film!

When the maid ran into the hidden basement calling her husband I was freaking out. The whole time I was thinking, "What is happening? Do I want to know?"

No, The color scheme is really important to this film.

I think a fascinating video you can do would be to talk about the incident in the 1980s where Ted Turner attempted to color in old black and white films he brought from the MGM library, and everyone freaked out since they felt he was ruining someone else's creation for profit gain, and towards the end of the video, you could take a noir film Turner coloured like "The Maltese Falcon" and compare it to how it looked in black and white to see just how much Turner's tinting affected the movie. I know it's hypocritical since I color videos myself, but I too think Turner did a horrible job, and I love to see any kind of video on the subject matter

I saw the premiere of this with a director Q&A, definitely one of my favorite memories!

I just realised at the end the day when the Park's are having a garden party - it had been raining pretty heavily the night before if not several nights in a row. During the party however, the grass is dry as dry can be :)

seeing this in b/w made me pay attention to to motion on the screen, instead of pretty visuals i was always focused on characters and their actions.

I haven’t seen the black and white version but, judging just from the clips here, it feels like I’m missing a lot from the black and white version: the lush green environs of the Park home (mentioned in the video), the harsh, almost dystopian yellow sodium lighting of the Kim neighborhood (in the 우리 슈퍼 scene), the golden-toned richness of the wall panel covering the entrance to the subterranean bunker, the creepy greenish tinge of the staircase leading down to it. It’s great that we have the black and white version to enjoy but, even if it highlights some aspects of the film such as texture (as mentioned in this video), I suspect it would mostly just make me appreciate the color version even more.

There is also a Black&Chrome version of Mad Max: Fury Road, and I think although it doesn't make the movie better, but provides a different experience. I enjoyed B&C version quite a lot because of more defined textures (what is important for a movie in such setting), but I think the colours of the original evoke more emotions. There is also a whole sequence coloured in bluish instead of b&w because it is bluish in the coloured version.

I feel like he actually did blend in better while laying on the floor in the black and white version. It seems like there's more shadows for him to blend in with rather than the blue light which I feel makes him brighter.

Honestly, I loved the use of color and style in Parasite. I'd prefer to watch the film in color.

Not to mention the montage of getting the nanny fired. The sequence is absolutely amazing and ends with the “bloody” napkin Kim pulls out of the trash can, but in the black and white version it’s not quite as impactful. The bright red ending the scene was such a great inclusion in the color version

One of best use of black & white in a Korean film is Lady Vengeance by Park Chan Wook

Watched both versions and while the B&W version was gorgeous too, it has lost of a lot of visual impact. I think in this movie about rich and poor, the colours play a big part illustrating the two completely different lifestyles and environments. Love your video and great to see you are showing yourself more 😊

For me, the color highly differentiated the poor from the rich. The rich are colorful, bright and vibrant. While the poor consists of mostly brown and gray colors. I mean it's not like you can't determine it easily but i just find it a good detail.
