This movie offers an interesting point of view on the idea of class warfare. Instead of making it about the “haves” and have nots”, the movie turns the idea on its ear so that we question who is on the “right” side of the world. I think the movie works best here – who should we be rooting for? Anyone? The movie probably doesn’t work as well without the final scene.
