      it's a fun heist, and then it's a metaphor about shit flowing downstream, and then it's the repressed coming back to murder everyone on the kid's birthday. Is there an understanding of capitalist exploitation there exactly?

      It’s social class exploitation rather than explicitly capitalist exploitation. We’re talking about upper class bourgeois salary workers and their hired help not any actual capitalists after all.

      Ah right, I forgot. But although the help are his employees they are not his company’s employees. The class relations are due to his wealth and social status. This is aristocratic exploitation, with capitalist exploitation at a remove. Wealth/social inequality is the villain.

      Well, sure, and Mr Kim is a failed capitalist (they're in the place they are because he got sucked into the dream of "starting and growing a business you can retire on" and ended up with nothing but debt)

      I mean, sure, Bong is more interested in examining wealth through the lens of consumption than production The Tail Section Passengers in Snowpiercer aren't proles but lumpenproles (literally useless, just kept packed in there doing nothing all day)

      That's kind of the point, though, this is a realistic POV he's exploring The Kims, as typical lumpen, are so far removed from the process of creating wealth they treat it as all bullshit, as one big scam The way you get money is by tricking people into giving it to you

      Value isn't created by genuine primary production in farms and mines and factories, it just kind of exists and just gets shuffled around via bullshit According to orthodox Marxism this is a false view of the world but it's extremely common

      And I mean I think about this a lot, that most of the really down and out in our generation lack "class consciousness" because we're much more lumpen than prole Work is bullshit, taking "pride in your work" is for suckers, everything is a scam

      That's the world Parasite takes place in, and honestly Snowpiercer too There are no jobs on the train, everyone is a "passenger" and all the "work" is just this manufactured system of conflict to pit passengers against each other

      The only way the tailies can get upgraded is "service jobs" like being a violinist, and in a few rare cases operating the machines

          The exceptions, the kids who get taken to become components of the Engine, are a dark and shameful secret Like the farms and mines and factories that exist oceans away to keep America running - I thought this was a fairly obvious metaphor

          But anyway this is an intentional thing in Parasite, I thought The choice was not to make Mr Park a magnate in some recognizable traditional industry but to give him a trendy tech company based on BS It's not clear what they do but it clearly doesn't benefit ordinary people
