wealth and power dynamics

His films like 'Parasite' and 'Snowpiercer' directly dissect class hierarchies and the brutal systems that perpetuate wealth inequality.

Through films like 'Taxi Driver', 'Goodfellas', and 'The Wolf of Wall Street', he explores corruption, ambition, and the moral costs of pursuing power and wealth.

His socially conscious films like 'I, Daniel Blake' and 'Kes' reveal how economic systems and power structures marginalize the working class and vulnerable populations.
