'Joker' is just one movie this year to admit that economic inequality is a feature of capitalism rather than a bug caused by periodic bad actors.
. In these films, the problem is a singular bad actor, usually a single crooked business tycoon played by the likes of Alan Arkin, Craig T. Nelson or Alec Baldwin.Once that fiend is exposed and brought down, then all is well. The implicit point is that the system works as long as bad apples don’t break the rules, and that absent periodic villains the system works for everyone.
But we’ve also seen, especially this year, a series of movies which argue that systemic inequality is just that, not the occasional result of a few bad apples or a bug in an otherwise satisfactory system, but a prime feature and an inevitable result of our tiered capitalistic system. The likes of don’t just paint stories about evil business people or the haves and the have-nots. They point the finger directly at us.
