It is an interesting brand new perspective for me to know that the apartment plot in film is a genre.I used to observe the apartment setting in the films as the preference of lifestyle for the characters only.However,based on this reading,the apartment literally has its own and significant contribution to the film plot.‘Apartment is more than setting,but motivates or shapes the narrative in some key way.’This sentence reminds me of the movie review that I watched a few days ago about Parasite’.The director successfully made use of the living spaces of two extreme classes to show the contrast and huge differences of their faith.The identities of the characters inside the film can be clearly revealed through the settings of the apartment,or even the historical background and the urban genre.Instead of being a pale background or ignorable elements,I think this reading pointed out many unexpected effects and ideas that were brought out by the apartment.

Appreciate this insightful reading into Wojcik’s commentary on the apartment complex, especially in referencing the film ‘Parasite’ for your reflection. Well done.
