Conflict between classes build up to an emotionally explosive climax
4 March 2009
Warning: Spoilers
This is a challenging depiction of the irreversible suppression of lower classes by upper classes, and how people belonging to the former are ill-equipped to fight in a battle they can never win. The issues of corporate morality and social justice are skilfully infused in a father-son relationship, which is itself tainted by class difference and "shame" for being in the lower classes. The irreconcilable difference between classes in both a familial and corporate context is given real flesh and bones by the highly unforgettable climax built up in the scene where the son forced his father to confront him for his "shame" felt since childhood because of the father's working class status and which extended to even after the son has advanced to a higher class. A brilliant semi-documentary on corporate morality which has also successfully injected a layer of personal morality crisis.
