Even the coronavirus pandemic, which struck America as the film was being shot, is subverted as a comedic plot point. In classic Boratic fashion, the mockumentary follows the wacky duo on a cavalcade across Trump’s America, filming candid performances by unsuspecting characters ranging from QAnon believers, to Republican activists, to prim debutantes, all the way to Giuliani himself.

On the other, it's darkly comedic, mocking the obliviousness of the rich classes, both to their own privileges and to the desperation of the poor. On one hand, it's a bleak exploration of economic inequality in South Korea and a condemnation of capitalistic excess, following the struggling Kim family as they each infiltrate the lives of the wealthy Parks, posing as household servants to live a live of proximate luxury before their deception spirals wildly out of control. Director Bong Joon-ho's searing thriller is the first non-English film to win the Academy Award for Best Picture, and it's abundantly clear why.
