No prob. I initially made the translations by reading the subtitles with no sound then re-watched the trailer. Made some corrections.

Read a Korean article regarding the film and the story is about the collision of 2 worlds/families, a poor jobless and the other very rich. What starts as a job interview as a tutor for the rich kid becomes the pivotal point for tragedy/comedy that are to follow.

Bong states that the scope of the movie is tightly focused on Korean society and has details that are especially meaningful for Koreans . . . we'll see about that.

Pondering over the ending of the trailer that shows Song Gang-Ho (father) in native American head dress (quite commonly used by Koreans in shows). There is also a reflection of a native American tipi in the movie poster.

Also just noticed on the poster that a stroke in the first character of 'Ki-Saeng-Choong', the Korean word for 'Parasite', seems to be a curved knife.
