[quote=Anonymous]I just saw it this weekend and am still processing. But I think the parasite metaphor works in both directions. The poor family exploits the rich family by deceiving them into their jobs, living in the house as if it's theirs while they are away, dreaming about marrying into the family. The rich family exploits the poor family by expecting them to do whatever is asked just because they're paying them (the dad is a driver, but he's expected to dress in a headdress and be party entertainment) and by ultimately not really seeing them as people. (They all smell like the subway, shouldn't be familiar/"cross the line," literally are unseen under the coffee table when they're in the same room.) One could see the employment situation as a symbiotic relationship, but I think the point of the movie is that the overclass/underclass disparity and all that goes with it is ultimately destructive and disastrous.
