Parasite Film Studio Slams Trump's Criticism of Movie: 'Understandable, He Can't Read'

The film studio behind the South Korean movie Parasite fired back after President Donald Trump criticized its historic Oscar win by suggesting he is not a fan because he cannot read.

At a rally in Colorado Springs on Thursday night, Trump criticized the Oscar committee for awarding Bong Joon-ho's movie an Academy Award for Best Picture, the first time a non-English language film won the award.

"How bad were the Academy Awards this year?" Trump asked, prompting boos from the crowd. "Did you see them? And the winner is a movie from South Korea. What the hell was that all about?

"We got enough problems with South Korea with trade," Trump added before admitting he has never seen the film.
