    Bong certainly meant to say something else. He has been publicly critical of capitalism. I don’t think he failed tbh, but I did watch the film with preexisting left wing views. I’m not sure you are right about the 99%, most of my lib friends sympathized with the kims over the parks

      Well, yeah, the poor family is sympathetic because they're point of view characters and they face various hardships throughout the movie. But it doesn't change the fact that they are literally the bad guys in the story. Poors are the ones (and only ones) who do all the lying, scheming, stealing, and killing.

      It's like watching the Reservoir Dogs. Sure, you sympathize with the characters but they're still the villains.
