I’d say inserting a success story doesn’t really mix with the doomer tone of the movie which is just trying to depict how hard the odds are stacked against them because social mobility does not exist in South Korea. In the real world, no matter how cunning and smart the Kim family are they will never become equals with the idiots that are the Park family because society is not meritocratic in the slightest. The only real solution is replacing that society entirely but that’s a little too revolutionary to get made.
It does a lot more to lecture working class folks on solidarity than it does lecture the rich on the wealth inequality that fuels their servant-filled lifestyle but then again, you could literally beat them over the head with a rock and they wouldn’t get it (which literally does happen to Ki-woo).
I like the fact that to us it’s crystal clear why Mr Kim finally snaps at the disrespect his family is shown by Mr Park but the bourgeois audience sees nothing but the surface level of the movie and sees the Kim family as parasites. The naivety of the rich family is perfectly reflected in the people who see the movie and just don’t get why he stabs Park.
You’d think with Yiddish being a High German dialect and Ashkenazi cuisine being German and having them pay reparations for the Holocaust, this would be the first suggestion for a Jewish homeland.
