Since the plot of Triangel of Sadness turns out to be a retread of JM Barrie's stage-play The Admirable Crichton, I watched this movie again and it turnes out, Ruben Östlund copied his funny storyline from this movie, based on the comic stage play written in 1902 by J. M. Barrie.
The play deals with serious class issues that were controversial at the time. Barrie had considered a more controversial resolution - particularly an upbeat ending with Crichton and Lady Mary continuing their relationship - but decided "the stalls wouldn't stand it"
The story showed the class conflict through reminds me of in the film Parasite. According to Karl Marx (1818-1883), the struggle between the capitalist class (bourgeoisie) and the working class (proletariat). Class conflicts are inherent in the relationship between owners of means of production, who appropriate most of the surplus value created through production, and the direct producers whose share allows them, at best, only to reproduce themselves as workers.
Interesting, that this story made a revival after such long time, and class issues are on the table once again.
