But in reality it doesnt always go wrong so what is reality?

I think there are plenty of examples of pursuing the American Dream if you look to social democracies in Northern Europe. I'm not an expert but Sweden, Denmark and Norway come to mind. A good social system offering a safety net and support in the case of individuals or families falling on hard times would go a long way to temper the parasitic instincts we all have. Both South Korea and the U.S. worship success in all its obvious forms --- financial, educational, social. But success depends so much on one's existing socio-economic position and less on one's own drive/ambition and efforts. The U.S. and South Korea do not have good social safety nets or supports that try and help upward mobility and it is biased to the already wealthy and well-connected. When the poor have nothing... when pulling oneself by the bootstraps is extremely hard, next to impossible when you don't have boots.... or bootstraps. I'm in Canada and we have a few more things going for us up here -- public healthcare system and colleges and universities that still charge high tuition but not high enough to make you an indentured servant for the rest of your life. But there's also a huge gap and we have our extremely poor and growing homeless population which are not being adequately helped by society/government. Bong Joon Ho through his movie Parasite is putting it out there for us while we are enjoying a thrilling, darkly funny and darkly tragic movie whether we accept this winner-take-all system that divides and isolates people rather than get us pulling together for all our benefit. I think you should indeed continue to review movies with a philosophical lens or just a perspective from someone who's got an educated background. Bong Joon Ho's Mother is well liked by fans of his but there aren't too many reviews of this film on YT. All the best to you. I'm so sorry that you got laid off and it was done so callously via phone message. I hope things look up in the employment/wealth front soon.
