Enzo

Socio-economic class and patriotic duty are salient in the film, Enzo, whereas the teenage boy’s crush on a man from Ukraine working in construction in the E.U. is not as important. Film as a medium doing heavy-lifting in philosophy: https://thewordenreport-film.blogspot.com/2026/06/enzo.html

My Man Godfrey

A stark disparity in economic wealth--economic inequality--is well illustrated in the film, "My Man Godfrey." He goes from Harvard and Wall Street to living at the city dump in the 1930s only be to hired as a butler. Even employed, he is viewed as subhuman. Such a view undergirds a spotty safety net in America. https://thewordenreport-film.blogspot.com/2026/03/my-man-godfrey.html

10. would you slaughter the rich?

No. I wouldn’t slaughter anyone.

Speaking from a US context I think we need fairer tax laws for the wealthy, esp. capital gains taxes. The income gap is absurd and inhumane.

On a global and national scale I think we need to rethink our economies and treat them as entities in service to the good of the human person, rather than entities that should thrive for their own sake.

What that looks like is beyond my pay grade, but NOT putting the almighty economy ahead of actual human beings might help us rethink how money should flow, and perhaps reduce consumerism and inane goods production.
