		</div><p>Donald Trump has mocked South Korean film Parasite and its best picture victory at the Oscars.</p>
<p>Director Bong Joon-Ho’s searing commentary on class struggle made history at the Academy Awards this month when it became the first foreign language film to win the top prize.</p>
<p>On a memorable night, Parasite also earned Bong best director and won both best original screenplay and best international feature.</p>

<p>However, Mr Trump was not impressed and bemoaned the film’s success during a rally in Colorado.</p>
<p>“How bad were the Academy Awards this year?” the president asked, prompting boos from the crowd.</p>
<p>“The winner is – a movie from South Korea! What the hell was that all about?</p>
<p>“We got enough problems with South Korea with trade. On top of that, they give him 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?</p>
<p>“Sunset Boulevard? So many great movies.”</p>
<p>Mr Trump added: “Did this ever happen before?”</p>

<p>Neon, the North American distributor of Parasite, responded to the president.</p>
<p>“Understandable, he can’t read,” the company’s official Twitter account said.</p>
<p>The president also aimed a barb at Brad Pitt, who mentioned Mr Trump’s impeachment trial during his Oscars acceptance speech.</p>

<p>“And then you have Brad Pitt,” Mr Trump said. “I was never a big fan of his. He got up, said a little wise guy thing. He’s a little wise guy.”</p>
<p>Parasite is one of the most acclaimed films of recent years.</p>
<p>Bong’s satirical dark comedy veers wildly between different genres as it tells the story of an unscrupulous poor family’s often hilarious attempts to embed themselves inside the home of a rich family.</p>
<p>It moves from comedy to horror before building up to a gruesome conclusion.</p>
<p>Parasite was a popular choice for best picture at the Oscars, winning ahead of Sam Mendes’s well-fancied war epic 1917.</p>

<p>Bong addressed the issue of Western audiences being reluctant to watch foreign language films during his acceptance speech at the Golden Globes.</p>
