2.3 Brought to You by the Phrase "Class and Poverty"
About this episode
Perhaps one of the biggest topics Depth Perception has taken on- it's class and poverty in movies. Join us as we try to pin down our thoughts on what poverty is, and how it is portrayed in film.
We talk about siding with the poor protagonist, depicting the rich as the villain, the strive to become wealthy, wealthiness' impact or how inconsequential on happiness, social movement through class, the endless cycle of poverty, and just how realistic class and poverty is portrayed.
Movies discussed include but are not limited to: Titanic, Precious, Snowpiercer, Barbershop, Emperor's New Groove, Aladdin, Home Alone, There Will be Blood, The Wolf of Wall Street, Ready Player One...
