That would give the movie away and ruin your enjoyment of it. Best to not know anything about it before watching it. I didn't know anything about it and I almost gave up in the first 30 minutes but I am glad I didn't.

Didn't think much of Parasite, tried to watch the black & white version first before giving up and finding the normal one on Amazon Prime.

I think the first foreign movie I ever watched was called Amsterdamned (1989?) I paid for my cinema ticket without realising it was a subtitled movie. I'm glad I stuck with it, the subtitles didn't bother me really. I few years later, I started to collect all those Bluce Lee movies which I wouldn't watch in the past because they were badly dubbed. Around the same time, widescreen editions were becoming popular too.

Nowadays, the only problems I have with foreign movies are sometimes the subtitles are hard to see.
