How Every Film You Watch Tells You To Love The Rich and What To Do About It

About This Movie

So, this documentary by Chris Gerrard really digs into how films shape our perceptions of wealth and class. It’s got this tone that feels both academic and conversational, which makes it pretty engaging. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to really sit with the ideas instead of rushing through them. The film examines how those charming, wealthy characters we often root for subtly reinforce a love for the rich while pushing back against any criticism of capitalism. There are some fascinating interviews and archival footage that enhance the points being made, and you can’t help but feel a bit uneasy about how ingrained these ideas are in the narratives we consume. It’s a thought-provoking watch, if you're into dissecting media.
