Trump Mocks ‘Parasite’ Best Picture Win: ‘What the Hell Was That All About?’

[claws]

President Donald Trump took aim at "Parasite's" historic Oscar wins at a Colorado rally on Thursday.

"How bad were the Academy Awards this year?" he asked, prompting jeers from the crowd. "Did you see it?"

"The winner is... a movie from South Korea! What the hell was that all about?" he went on. "We 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. Let's get 'Gone With the Wind.' Can we get 'Gone With the Wind' back, please?"

"So many great movies..." he bemoaned before again mocking, "the winner is from South Korea!"

"I thought it was best foreign film, right? Best foreign movie," he said. "Did this ever happen before?"

It hadn't, actually, happened before. "Parasite" made history when it became the first foreign-language film to win best picture at the Oscars, also taking home original screenplay, director for Bong Joon Ho and best international film.

He also took a shot at Brad Pitt, who used his speech for winning supporting actor to, in part, call out the Trump impeachment trial for blocking the testimony of former national security adviser John Bolton. Trump said he was "never a fan" of Pitt, addressing his Oscars speech.

"He got up and said little wiseguy statements," Trump said of Pitt. "He's a little wiseguy."

During the Oscars, Pitt joked, "They told me I only have 45 seconds up here, which is 45 seconds more than the Senate gave John Bolton this week. I'm thinking maybe Quentin [Tarantino] does a movie about it — in the end, the adults do the right thing."

Neon, the distributor of "Parasite," took Trump's jabs in stride, tweeting that it was "understandable" that Trump couldn't comprehend the subtitled film. "He can't read," it said, including the hashtag #Bong2020.

To be fair, I'd expect trump to be confused by a Roadrunner cartoon.

Was it good? I don't know.

This sums it and most of his opinions up completely.  He doesn't know anything about the subject but DAMN does he has a strong opinion about it.

I'm going to see it on Saturday so I guess I'll find out.

Trevor, are you or have you seen Gone with the Wind, POTUS' favorite film? His choice I think says much about POTUS.

what does it mean?

For me it means, though it can mean other things to other people, is the perception that POTUS has little understanding of the history of the country of which he is Presidnt, and little understanding how this country treated black people over 150 years ago. It was not like it was in GWTW.

hmmm. my mothers favorite film is Gone with the Wind ...
but her all time hero is muhammad ali

So with that said just to be clear I'm asking a question

are you're saying that the president doesn't understand our US history?
and having Gone With the Wind as his favorite movie makes him a bad person?

am i right? is that what you mean???

[VenomX73]

i am confused... 

[BoyScoutKevin]

i am confused... 

Well, at this moment, you are not the only one that is confused, as I am probably even more confused than you are, as I thought I knew what I was talking about,  when I posted this, but you have proved me wrong, as I really don't know what I was talking about.

[VenomX73]

... ???

Nobody's trying to prove anybody wrong lol

but come on... having a favorite film does not make you a bad person

[VenomX73]

am I right? 

[BoyScoutKevin]

am I right? 

Yes, you are correct, and I think that'll be my last thought on this subject, before I become even more confused than I already am.

[VenomX73]

oooh boy

Having a favourite movie doesn't. His personality however is another matter.
