Trump apparently not a fan of 'Parasite'
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Donald Trump is apparently not a fan of 'œParasite," his biggest complaint being that the move was made in South Korea.
Trump started talking about the Academy Awards during a campaign rally in Colorado Springs, Colorado, on Thursday. Parasite was named best picture, becoming the first non-English-language film to get the top honor.
'œWhat the hell was that all about?" Trump said. 'œWe've got enough problems with South Korea with trade. On top of that, they give them best movie of the year. Was it good? I don't know."
Neon, the U.S. distributor for the subtitled film, shot back on Twitter. 'œUnderstandable. He can't read," Neon tweeted.
The audience booed when Trump mentioned the Academy Awards and then cheered when he said: 'œCan we get like '~'Gone with the Wind' back please? '~Sunset Boulevard,' so many great movies."
'œParasite" tells the story of how a family of four poor, unemployed people living in a slum basement apartment comically infiltrates a wealthy family residing at a luxurious mansion before things unravel violently and tragically.
