Social Class Inequality on Passenger in Movies Snowpiercer Directed by Bong Joon Hoo

This study analyzes the depiction of social class inequality in the film "Snowpiercer," directed by Bong Joon-ho. Set in a dystopian future where the last remnants of humanity live aboard a perpetually moving train, the film presents a microcosm of society sharply divided by class. The elite live in luxury at the front section of the train, while the impoverished masses endure inhumane conditions at the tail section of the train. The study employs a qualitative method, utilizing content analysis to meticulously interpret and categorize scenes, dialogue and character interactions to understand how social class inequality is represented. The research identifies and examines five distinct types of social class inequality depicted in the film: bourgeoisie, proletariat, property owners, working class, and commercial class. Additionally, it explores the broader societal impacts of these inequalities, including the concentration of wealth, erosion of democratic institutions, social unrest and rebellions, and the influence of the neighborhood environment on individual outcomes.

Keywords: Social Class Inequality, Snowpiercer, Qualitative Content Analysis
