President Donald Trump mocked the film "Parasite" winning best picture at the 2020 Oscars, dismissing it as "some movie from South Korea."

"What the hell is that?" Trump said Thursday at a rally in Colorado. "We got enough problems with South Korea with trade. On top of it, they give them best movie of the year?"

"Parasite" made history at the Oscars, becoming the first non-English-language film to win best picture.

The movie also won the Oscar for best international feature, an award that was renamed from best foreign-language film.

President Donald Trump went off on the film "Parasite" for winning best picture at the 2020 Academy Awards because it was made in South Korea.

The president criticized this year's Oscars on Thursday night during a rally in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

"What the hell is that?" he said. "We got enough problems with South Korea with trade. On top of it, they give them best movie of the year?"

"Was it good? I don't even know," he continued.

"Parasite" made history earlier this month at the Oscars, becoming the first non-English-language film to win best picture. The movie also won the Oscar for best international feature film, an award that was newly renamed from best foreign-language film.

The director Bong Joon Ho said in his acceptance speech that he was "happy to be its recipient under the new name," adding that he supported the "new direction" the change symbolized in international film representation.

The movie also won the awards for best director and best original screenplay, and it was nominated for best production design and best film editing.

The Democratic National Committee clapped back at Trump's opinion of "Parasite."

"Parasite is a foreign movie about how oblivious the ultra-rich are about the struggles of the working class, and it requires two hours of reading subtitles," the committee tweeted. "Of course Trump hates it."

Neon, the independent film distributor behind "Parasite," also responded to Trump's comment with a clapback of its own.

"Understandable, he can't read," Neon wrote on Twitter.
