Comment on Will Hollywood's remake of Parasite really succeed?

  I’m sure the Hollywood version will not be good, but it won’t be because of those cultural factors. It’s not hard to find equivalents to certain cultural artifacts, and rearrange plot points to fit a different setting. What the American film will fail to do is to be as biting in its satire of class differences, because Hollywood executives think it won’t sell well.

  I agree there, I don’t think it’s impossible or even difficult to make the movie that hits the same themes the same way, there’s absolutely zero thought in my head that it’s not possible to make something purely with American culture, systems, housing and foods that conveys 100% of the same message, in some ways possibly even better

  However, there is a very high chance that somewhere in the production line decisions are made by someone who either determines that the things that made the movie popular, aren’t compatible with American audiences, and will intentionally dumb them down or change the actual themes.
